Extractions: International Co-ordinator, Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People Much has been written about the terrible human and environmental disasters surrounding the production of crude oil and natural gas in Nigeria. This study is one of the few to focus on the gendered aspects of the petroleum political economy in Africa. As such, it examines the transformation of social relations between rich and poor women and men and the distinctively gendered features of new kinds of solidarity and fightback. Over the past four decades of oil exploitation, a kind of communal symbiosis of gender was broken down by deals through which certain men appropriated communal land, the fundamental basis of indigenous people=s livelihood and community. These men illegitimately sold common property rights to foreign and state corporations. Through such 'male deals', defined below, the state and corporations have divided communities and devastated the ecosystem. Starting in 1980, and continuing through today, the dispossessed women and men of the Nigerian oilbelt have formed new social relationships that reach across gender lines to oppose oil corporations' exploitation. These 'gendered class alliances' have contributed to the success of community campaigns against corporate oil extraction and have resulted in the construction of inter-ethnic alliances.

The Mayflower bore the first "immigrants" to these shores. Eventually the thirteen colonies that resulted from that crossing and those that followed would break away in blood and Revolution, and the rest, as they say, is history. But they were all immigrants, those first colonists, and their children who were born in this country were the children of immigrants. It was only 226 years ago that the Declaration of Independence was signed by the founders of the American nation as we know it today. Only 211 years since the first Congress of the United States of America passed the Bill of Rights. This is a young nation, still brash with its youth, and still not so very far away from its immigrant roots.

Abuja th April 2005 Address by the Honourable Minister Of Culture And Tourism, Ambassador Frank Nchita Ogbuewu at the Opening Ceremony. Protocol, It is my pleasure and privilege to address you at this very important meeting which is set to refine the scope and plans for the materialization of our collective vision, which is the promotion of an intra-Commonwealth tourism agenda. I am conscious of the fact that the next two days will be more or less businesslike, with very little time for Delegates to explore and experience to the fullest, the traditional Nigerian hospitality and tourism endowments. I have, therefore, chosen to devote my address to taking you on a mental excursion of some of Nigerias tourism destinations with the belief that you will come again as individuals and groups to experience the real thing and thereby become our cultural Ambassadors. There is no gainsaying that Nigeria is the most populous black nation in the world with 250 ethno-linguistic groups and a population of over 135 million people. It occupies a landmass of 923,770 square kilometres. She is rich, unique and diverse in her cultural, eco-tourism and economic endowments. It is a land of limitless investment opportunities, with tourism as one of the most promising. Starting from the Atlantic Ocean and its fine beaches that border the historic and slave ports of Badagry, Lagos, Brass, Bonny and Calabar, the Tourist or Adventurer could move by land, or water through friendly fishing coastal villages to explore the flora and fauna of the Niger-Delta mangroves, one of the worlds most expansive wetlands.

This definition is a disservice, because it carelessly expands the power to level the charge of anti-Semitism to anyone who chooses to use this weapon, irrespective of context or appropriateness.

The President History (Sites open in a separate window) The religions in Nigeria are roughly 36% Christian, 56% Muslim, and about 8% 'everything else', including traditional religions and beliefs. There are a number of different traditional religions available. They usually are specific to the different ethnic groups, and the deities are usually the gods and goddesses that the ethnic group believes in, and each ethnic group had a shrine dedicated to the deities that it believed in. The deities ranged from those who created the earth, to those who offer divine protection and/or blessings to it's worshippers, to those who had control over certain aspects of the world (like weather or war), to spirits that can be somewhat controlled by human beings. Most of these religions did not have written documentation of their beliefs and practices, but they did rely on a priest to teach them and to intervene on their behalf, and the priests were usually very highly trained for this, to the extent of being raised for this task sometimes.

Extractions: I It is an indication of the stress and turbulence of our times that Nigerians are everywhere re-examining the purpose of the Nigerian state and the relationships between their ethnic groups and the Nigerian federation. There has been no other occasion in our history when men and women, otherwise engaged in professions far removed from politics and public affairs, have been so concerned about the future of their ethnic groupings and about the purpose of their country's political arrangements. I believe that this is an important and forward-looking development that wise leaders would do well to embrace and to help advance. In worrying about their future and about the prospects of their ethnic groups, Nigerians have leaned backwards to probe their own foundation histories. In that process, they have raised important questions concerning the nature of Nigeria's constitutional arrangements that have implicated their cultural groupings. THE QUEST FOR ETHNIC ORIGINS AND PRECOLONIAL HISTORIES Inside the Urhobo homeland, in the Niger Delta, and in the Urhobo Diaspora in Europe and America, there is a strong resurgence of interest in the history and origins of the Urhobo. This urgent quest has coincided with the difficulties and dangers that threaten the integrity of Urhobo culture from the claims of those who seek to control our lives by using the powers of Nigeria's intrusive central government. It is probably related to the anxieties instigated in our lives by such dire calamities as the great petroleum fire disasters at Idjerhe in 1998 and Ekakpamre in 1999 and other uncertainties arising from bad actions of the Nigerian state, particularly in the Niger Delta.

Extractions: The representative of Nigeria agreed that the use of technological tools to spread hatred based on nothing but pigmentation was distressing. Governments had a responsibility to pass measures to protect people and punish such actions. The Internet had become a forum for racism, which targeted children and the young, the representative of Algeria said. The international community must speak out against those Internet sites. Also, he said, it was necessary to protect new technology to prevent its misuse. The representative of Venezuela said the Internet was being utilized by certain racist groups who abused the right to freedom of expression. The representative of Israel observed that a wave of "cybernetic racism" had dramatically increased the number of Web sites inciting to hatred. On issues related to the right of peoples to self-determination, the representative of India said pluralistic, democratic societies were the most vulnerable to the misuse of that right. The representative of Liechtenstein said her country had developed a concept for dialogue between central governments and communities living within respective States that would recognize that the communities had the right of self-determination, which could be exercised in a number of ways. The representatives of Greece, China, Cuba and Cyprus also spoke. The Committee will meet again on Monday, 25 October at 3:00 p.m. to continue considering issues related to the elimination of racism and racial discrimination, and to the right of peoples to self-determination.
