The new president faces the daunting task of rebuilding a petroleum-based economy, whose revenues have been squandered through corruption and mismanagement, and institutionalizing democracy. In addition, the OBASANJO administration must defuse longstanding ethnic and religious tensions, if it is to build a sound foundation for economic growth and political stability.

Extractions: Religions Did You Know? In Nigeria, divination and oracles play a large part in discovering exactly which spirit or ancestor has been offended, and how to deal with it. The newer religions tend to concentrate on the idea of good behavior as a condition of gaining entry into heaven, and tolerating life's problems rather than seeking divine intervention.

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.

Nigeria: Country Profile
Today, nigeria remains one of africa s most influential countries. nigeria s richcultural tradition stretches back into prehistory and remains a live
http://www.africaaction.org/bp/nigerall.html

Extractions: the Nigeria page of APIC's Strategic Action Issue Areas. Nigeria, Africa's most populous nation, was a pioneer in the movement for African independence. In past centuries, its territory was home to a series of powerful and technically-advanced societies, renowned for their artistic, commercial, and political achievements. Today, Nigeria remains one of Africa's most influential countries. Its vast oil reserves and unique human resources create the capacity for enormous prosperity and regional leadership. The fate of its struggle for democracy and national unity will have profound implications for the entire continent. Both the potential and the obstacles are on the giant scale of the country itself. British conquest brought together within Nigeria's borders a wide range of cultures and ethnic groups. The colonial "unity," however, was a top-down authoritarian creation. In spite of the efforts of the nationalist movement for independence to foster a sense of national identity, particularly after World War II, building a nation based on popular participation remains a work in progress. There are solid foundations for democratic culture and a diverse civil society. Nigeria has a rich array of private entrepreneurs, energetic and diverse communications media, labor unions, professional associations, a literary scene with world-renowned authors, religious bodies, and many other groups that have contributed to a sense of national identity and pride.

Religions Of The World -- African
from two or three major cultures in ancestral africa, the Yoruba culture ofNigeria, in african culture, www.cwrl.utexas.edu/~bill/316/paper1/horsey
http://members.aol.com/porchfour/religion/african.htm

Extractions: African and African-Derivative Religions are a large group of beliefs and practices based upon ancient indigenous faiths of sub-Saharan African peoples. Within the last 100 years in Africa (see Table of Statistics ) indigenous religion has declined under the influence of colonialism, Western acculturation and proselytizing by Islam and Christianity. In the African Diaspora (mainly in the Americas) African-derived belief systems are in a state of impressive growth. ithin just the last two years the amount of information made available through the Internet is also impressive. Some of the best information comes to us from Italy, Sweden and Brazil. We are no longer dependent upon reports from academia or encyclopedias. There are now numerous websites maintained by the faithful themselves and, while the quality and quantity of information varies enormously among them, one may now hear from practitioners their own statements of faith. In many, if not most, cases African spirituality has evolved in the Americas. Ancient practices brought westward by slaves became syncretized, more or less, with religious traditions of the slaves' masters. This syncretization is most noticeable in areas dominated by the Catholic faith and where the celebration of saints, votive offerings and other practices found parallels in ancient traditions.
