Extractions: With a birth rate of 39.7 per 1,000 and a death rate of 13.9 per 1,000, Nigeria's population is growing at an average of 3 percent annually. The average Nigerian woman gives birth six times in her lifetime, although among more educated women the rate is somewhat lower. Nearly half of Nigerians are younger than 15 years. By 2025 the population is projected to grow to 204 million, nearly double the current size. The highest population densities are in the Igbo heartland in southeastern Nigeria, despite poor soils and heavy emigration. The intensively farmed zones around and including several major Hausa cities especially Kano, Sokoto, and Zaria in the north are also packed with people. Other areas of high density include Yorubaland in the southwest, the central Jos Plateau, and the Tiv homeland in Benue State in the south central region. Densities are relatively low in the dry northeast and in most parts of the middle belt. Ecological factors, including the prevalence of diseases such as sleeping sickness, carried by the tse-tse fly, and historical factors, especially the legacy of pre-colonial slave raiding, help explain these low densities.

Extractions: INTRODUCING THE REPUBLIC OF BIAFRA CONTENTS I. Introduction II. The Country III. The People Inter-Group Relationships Political and Social Systems IV. Economic Resources V. Conclusion 1967 Published by the Government of the Republic of Biafra. I. Introduction A new nation has been born. Fourteen million people have taken their destiny into their own hands and embarked on the task of building a nation free from fear, bitterness and hate. Their sole aim is to develop their innate capabilities and rear their children in an atmosphere of peace and security. They stretch their hands of fellowship to all nations and appeal for understanding, friendship and co-operation. We, Biafrans, opted for self-determination after a long period of heart-searching and after making desperate efforts to save the Federation of Nigeria from disintegration. More than any other people in the former Federation, Biafrans contributed their human and material resources to the cause of national unity. From 1914, when the British amalgamated Northern and Southern Nigeria, Biafrans began to leave their homeland in large numbers to settle in several places among the Fulani-Hausa in the North and the Yoruba in the West. In those areas they opened up new avenues of commerce and industry and at the same time built new homes and erected places of worship and institutions of learning. By so doing they came to acquire a real stake in the progress and well-being of ALL parts of the country. They regarded themselves as citizens of Nigeria to an extent that no other group in the country ever did.

BIBLIOGRAPHIC RECORD The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. African languages geographic rather than linguistic classification of languages spoken on the African continent. Historically the term refers to the languages of sub-Saharan Africa, which do not belong to a single family, but are divided among several distinct linguistic stocks. It is estimated that more than 800 languages are spoken in Africa; however, they belong to comparatively few language families. Some 50 African languages have more than half a million speakers each, but many others are spoken by relatively few people. Tonality is a common feature of indigenous African languages. There are usually two or three tones (based on pitch levels rather than the rising and falling in inflections of Chinese tones) used to indicate semantic or grammatical distinction.

UCLA Fowler Museum of Cultural History Los Angeles, California May 19-November 17, 2002 These exhibitions also need to deconstruct the re emergence of "tribal" identification in African art history. We can agree, without being facetious, that we have found all the "tribes." The important question today is how to transcend theoretical paradigms that conceptualize African cultures mainly in terms of tribal (ethnic, societal, ancestral, etc.; insert your word of choice here) identification. Given the increasing awareness that ethnic identities are relatively recent formations indebted to Africa's colonial history in the past century and a half, new paradigms that provide a better assessment of African cultural practice are needed.

Roleplaying.html However, Eugene O Neill was very interested in African and AfricanAmerican By gathering and performing itself, the ijo people, led by their teller, http://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/~emiller/roleplaying_paper.html
Extractions: Eugene O'Neill [1888-1953] spoke freely of his hopes and dreams for a new kind of American theater, one in which the audience might participate more vitally and fully. He hoped someday to write plays in which the audience could share as a congregation shares in the music and ritual of a church service. "There must be some way that this can be brought about," wrote O'Neill. "As it is now, there is a too cold and cut division between the stage and the auditorium. The whole environment stage and the auditorium, actors and spectators should be emotionally charged. This can only happen when the audience actively participates in what is being said, seen, and done. But how? That is the problem. Still, there must be a way."1 This paper looks at one particular epic storytelling event: a performance of the Ozidi saga.2 This performance was given over the course of seven nights (approximately three hours each session) in Ibidan in 1963. The Ozidi saga was traditionally performed in an annual festival, but this practice was disappearing, so the scholar J. P. Clark sought out the performers and audience members and helped to organize the performance. There was a large Ijo-speaking community in Ibidan, which is a few hundred miles from the Niger delta of Nigeria, the location in which the tradition arose. J. P. Clark asked Madam Yakubu of Inekorogha to gather the people and host the event. The storyteller was Okabou of Sama. J. P. Clark's book
