Extractions: Sweltering rainforests and strutting sultans Cameroon's glory days of rapid development have given way to economic volatility, cultural strife and rising crime, especially in the larger cities and remote areas like the far north beyond Waza. Cameroonians are chafing under the long, tightening grip of their rulers more than ever. All of which makes Cameroon a challenge for travellers, but not an impossible one for those who keep their heads. Map of Cameroon (15K) Prime Minister: Peter Musonge Mafani About the size of Spain or California and shaped a bit like a boot, Cameroon is bordered by Nigeria to the north and west, Chad and the Central African Republic to the east, Congo, Gabon and Equatorial Guinea to the south and the Atlantic Ocean to the west. The country's game reserves teem with elephants, lions, giant eland, bongos, chimpanzees, crocodiles and birds galore. There are a few remaining lowland gorilla families in remote pockets of the underdeveloped south-east.

Extractions: Genesis. A question in an article written by Nsima Ekpo demanded not only an answer but also an action. That's not what caught my attention though. I refused to believe the deputy governor of our state Mr. Chris Ekpenyong (or Obong Engr. Ekpenyong as he would like to be addressed) is a saint in the midst of corruption in his cabinet as the article alluded. On Novemeber 12, 2000, I responded to the article and before I knew it, one thing led to another and anotherÂ…. When thoughts are formed some times they vaporize some times they are turned to physical forms. From your thoughts I am going to propose that the next governorship candidate of Akwa Ibom State, better still the next governor of Akwa Ibom State is the one we, Akwa Ibomites in the States, will install. This will be the beginning of moving the state forward and turn this thought of yours to reality. But I don't agree with you that Archibong in necessarily a saint. He does not just fold his hands and watch them do these things. Bird of the same feather flocks together.

Extractions: CONTENTS : Sorry, this feature is currently unavailable Ken Saro-Wiwa Those of us present at the launch of the ogoni community association - UK in 1994 never dreamt that it was to be the last time we would meet Ken. Though we knew he was returning to the dangers of Nigeria, farewells were light, filled with the belief that his resilience would never let him down. I don't believe it ever did. From the early 1990's until November 9th last year, Ken's assertions concerning the situation in Ogoni were regarded by many as self-serving exaggerations. Prominent amongst them was the violence that the military would unleash in order to suppress their peaceful movement for a clean environment and social equity. At a meeting of Ogoni leaders in Bori on October 3rd, 1993, he said, "The extermination of Ogoni people appears to be official policy." Ken's choice of words in describing Shell's operations as "ecological genocide" and "developmental racism" were also in some parties patronisingly regarded as an author's use of hyperbole.

Easing the Lagos Traffic Books on Lagos, Nigeria Nigeria, bubblin' Story from An Irish anarchist in Africa Although the general strike The mob which we had earlier seen were students from the nearby university. A local businessmen with four wives had acquired a new, young girlfriend, but he learned that she had a thing on the side with a student. The businessman disposed of this rival by denouncing him to the police for some infraction. The police promptly took him in for questioning and, in the process, shot him in the knees. This mob of students had gone to the market where the businessman had his operation and demonstrated their disapproval through pillage. The teargassing was the aftermath of the pillage of the market. The local woman seemed to put all the blame on the businessman and was particularly incensed by the fact that he already had four wives when he started this trouble.
Cultural Policy In Nigeria The rights and various attempts of the people of Nigeria to develop their Situation and Trends in Cultural Policy in African Member States Nigeria, http://www.wwcd.org/policy/clink/Nigeria.html
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.
