April 2001 Nigeria An OPEC member, Nigeria is one of the world's largest oil exporters. Nigeria is a major oil supplier to Western Europe and was the 5 th largest supplier of crude oil to the United States in 2000. Note: information contained in this report is the best available as of April 2001 and is subject to change. GENERAL BACKGROUND The election and inaguration of President Olusegun Obasanjo's administration in 1999 returned Nigeria to civilian rule. In January 2001 , Obasanjo dissolved his cabinet with all senior ministers losing their positions. On February 8, 2001 , President Obasanjo announced his choices for his new cabinet without naming an appointment for the Petroleum Ministry. Former OPEC secretary-general Rilwan Lukman remains as Presidential Adviser on Petroleum and Energy. The Nigerian parliament has urged Obasanjo to immediately appoint an oil minister. In August 2000 , a bill seeking to transfer the direct control of Nigeria's crude oil resources from the central government to the regions was introduced to the lower legislative chamber. The bill, sponsored by 15 members of the House of Representatives, sought to amend about 29 provisions in the Petroleum Act of 1990. Earlier in the year , President Obasanjo signed into law a new revenue sharing formula with the nine oil-producing states by which the latter receive 13% of oil revenues versus the previously allotted 3%.

VI. OIL COMPANIES AND THE OIL PRODUCING COMMUNITIES The coming of the oil industry has transformed the local economy of the oil producing communities. Although the changes are not as profound as those among previously uncontacted peoples of the Amazon rainforest living in areas where oil has been discovered Minorities in the Oil Producing Regions The peoples living in the oil producing communities largely belong to ethnic groups other than the three major groups (Yoruba, Igbo, and Hausa-Fulani) that dominate Nigeria. They speak a diverse range of languages and dialects: at least five major language groups are represented in the delta states. There areestimated to be approximately eight million people (there are no reliable census data) who would describe themselves as Ijaw, largely living in the riverine areas of what are now Bayelsa, Delta and Rivers States, as well as in Port Harcourt, Warri, and other towns on dry land. The division between the riverine and upland areas is of major cultural and geopolitical importance in the debates over the rights of the oil areas. Other ethnic groups on dry land in what is now Rivers State include the Ogoni, numbering some 500,000 (themselves divided between four separate dialect groups); several groups speaking languages related to Igbo, including the Etche, Ndoni, and Ikwerre; a number of communities speaking dialects falling into a Central Delta language group; the Andoni, who speak a Lower Cross dialect, and others.

That was in 1966, just four years into the nation's life as an independent entity, when a chain of unsavoury developments ultimately triggered off a 30-month civil strife, whose bloodiness many Nigerians ever since used as a reference point, obviously to deter acts that are considered potentially provocative. Millions of souls were consumed in that avoidable blood-letting. The events that constituted a prelude to that sad chapter seem to have been re-enacted these past weeks, albeit unconsciously. In 1966, following political upheavals engendered by some friction, especially between the Northern Fulani-Hausa ethnic group and their Eastern Igbo counterparts, a pogrom of the ever-itinerant Igbo people ensued in Kaduna, the administrative headquarters of the defunct Northern region, and the other parts where the Igbo had settled for commerce. Expectedly, that massacre was to yield a wave of agitations and consequently an insistence on confederacy by the East, since the prevalent mood then, as articulated by the then Col. Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, the Oxford-trained military governor of the defunct Eastern region, was that Igbo's presence in the political entity called Nigeria was no longer desirable.

HSE Address book Environmental Disequilibrum And Contingent Responsibilities Of Oil Companies And Host Communities In The Niger-Delta By Dr.V.T. Jike Abstract Environmental Disequilibrum is the incapacitation of the environment to sustain life because of the deleterious consequences of oil exploration. These consequences include oil spillage which has distorted the natural food chain, flora and fauna and the natural grid of aquatic life in the Niger- Delta. The paper argues that oil companies and host communities should collaborate to solve these environmental problems. Introduction Environmental disequilibrum is the characteristic portrayal of ecological distortion that is sequel to the extraneous impact of oil drilling or spillage in an otherwise natural environment. The disequilibrum of the environment of the Niger Delta has been severally described in seething epithets, eg environmental degradation, despoliation, etc. These indicate a fundamental impairment on the capacity of the environment to sustain life. Environmental Disequilibrum embraces a much wider conceptual rubric than Environmental Degradation. While the latter deals specifically with the negative reverberations of an extraneous activity (e.g. oil exploration) on the natural and built environment, the former encompasses the attendant strain on the social structure and the inimical consequences of oil exploration on both individual and group relations in the Niger Delta.

Abuja Eagle, part of a $12 million investment, was commissioned to join the oil industry. M.V. Abuja Eagle is one of the four ships an indigenous shipping company, Fymak Marine and Oil Services, is adding to the national fleet for the Mobil/ NNPC joint oil venture. The crew supply vessel that cost $3 million has already left for Eket in Cross River State, for oil business operation. According to the chairman of the company, Dr. Mauka Nwakwesi, the procurement of the vessel was made possible through the financial support of three banks, the Intercontinental Bank, Fortune Bank Limited and First Bank of Nigeria Plc. He commended Exxon Mobil for encouraging Fymak in the acquisition of the state of the art craft, which has fire-fighting facilities built into her. Dr. Nwakwesi remarked that it required a lot of courage and patriotism on the part of the banks to go into the financial sponsorship of the vessel. November 24, 2000

African Art Slide List (no images shown) Personal Slide Library of Gerard Bowles July 1999 I now have 709 African art slides. Of these 542 are African (incl. Egypt-Nubian), 117 Egyptian (non-Nubian), and 47 African American introduction slides. This page lists the African, Egypt-Nubian, African American introduction, and a few of Western art influenced by African art. This page does not list my Egyptian non-Nubian slides, and additional African American and African European slides, which are on different lists. In addition to the above slides, I show additional works or art on the 20 videotapes I have on African art and related culture, and art processes. The timeframes of these tapes range from approximately 15 to 90 minutes. I plan to write a Web page of notes on these tapes. In teaching African art, I use all or part of these slides, videotapes, and other materials, depending on the nature and purpose of the course, and the course's place in the institution's curriculum. This list divides the continent into three geographic divisions, North, East and Southern, West, and Central. Each division is subdivided by traditional, crafts, and neo-African art as recent as 1999. The list concludes with African-influenced art and crafts, and an introduction to African American art if the latter is appropriate.

DAWODU.COM Dedicated to Nigeria's socio-political issues Why Not Build More Refineries? By Mobolaji E. Aluko, Ph.D. Burtonsville, MD, USA Alukome@aol.com July 7, 2003 INTRODUCTION A reader (and he knows himself!), on reading my latest essay, wrote to me as follows: QUOTE Please educate me on this. How much does it really cost to build a brand new and economically viable oil refinery? My uneducated guess is that the money spent on the failed attempts to rehabilitate the existing refineries since 1999 is probably sufficient to build a new one. Also, what is stopping the SW governments in collaboration with private investors (or preferably these governments enabling private investors to do this) from commercially developing the bitumen resources in these states? These are rhetorical questions, since my guess is that something in our military constitution has taken these rights away from the people of these states. Have a good one. UNQUOTE I responded to him privately, but I have now decided to share my response as a Monday-quarter-backing. MY RESPONSE – WITH SOME EDITORIAL CHANGES These are tough questions with no easy answers.
