Extractions: How This Document Was Prepared Nigeria is one of the largest (923,768 km2) and geographically, socially and culturally most diversified African countries. It is the most populous country of Africa (the population estimated at 110 million in 1990), and potentially one of the richest. Richly endowed with human and natural resources, benefiting of a large internal market, Nigeria is, however, highly dependant on external economic sector, particularly oil revenues (93 per cent of exports in 1989). The domestic industry is import dependant. More then 60 per cent of population is employed in agriculture, which provides the bulk of Nigeria's food and raw materials supply and non-oil exports. Rich resources, large internal market and human potentials did not prevent Nigeria from being a low income country with GDP per capita declining from about 1,000 US dollars in 1980 to about 250 dollars in 1990. The world oil crisis, poor agricultural development, and internal civil war are usually cited as the main reasons for such an economic decline.

http://www.qub.ac.uk/en/imperial/nigeria/respmiss.htm

Extractions: This page last revised 4 May 1998 (Citations are from the Picador edition, entitled The African Trilogy Gerald Moore has stated in Seven African Writers that Achebe's goal in writing Things Fall Apart was to recapture ''the life of his tribe before the first touch of the white man sent it reeling from its delicate equilibrium'' (58). This is central to an understanding of the novel. Right from the tribes' first encounter with the whites, the reader observes it being unchangeably altered. It is the coming of the missionaries which brings the disruption. After thousands of years of unviolated and untouched tribal existence, Okonkwo returns after just seven years of exile to find his village almost unrecognisable. Similarly, his fellow clan members seem unwilling to recognise him. Instead, ''the new religion and government and trading stores were very much in the people's eyes and minds ... they talked and thought about little else, and certainly not about Okonkwo's return'' (149). The Europeans have been active in Nigeria for just seven years and already the pre-colonial Nigeria has been lost. This presents a clear picture of the sheer rapidity of the colonial project. It seems inevitable that much indigenous tradition and heritage will be swept away, resulting in feelings of profound cultural dislocation, and loss of identity.

Extractions: Carnival to promote cultural tourism in Nigeria afrol News , 2 April The Nigerian government has decided "to test-run cultural tourism" through the organisation of a new masquerade carnival in the capital, Abuja. Authorities are looking into other periodic festivals that already exist or could be established to develop an annual tourism calendar. In an effort to give a practical boost to tourism in Nigeria, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism has put into motion "a special package that will use culture to promote tourism strategy," the Ministry said in a press release issued yesterday. Among other things, the Ministry is working towards organising a national carnival, to be known as Abuja Carnival 2004, later in the year. This was contained in a speech by Nigeria's Minister of Culture and Tourism, Frank Nchita Ogbuewu, while declaring open a one-day National Council on Culture and Tourism, in Abuja. Minister Ogbuewu said that the Abuja Carnival would "enable Nigeria to showcase its unique brand of cultural tourism, which will be explicitly Nigerian." The event, which obviously will be disconnected from the world's "official carnival month," February, was to be based on the classical concept of a masquerade.

Someone or ones decide to move from one place to another. They choose a new destination and sever their ties with their traditional community or society as they set out in search of new opportunities, new challenges, new lives, and new life worlds. Most societies in human history have a migration narrative in their stories of origin. All communities in American society trace their origins in the United States to one or more migration experiences. America, after all, is "a nation of immigrants." But until recently, people of African descent have not been counted as part of America's migratory tradition. The transatlantic slave trade has created an enduring image of black men and women as transported commodities, and is usually considered the most defining element in the construction of the African Diaspora, but it is centuries of additional movements that have given shape to the nation we know today. This is the story that has not been told.
