CULTURE AND TOURISM
NIGERIA WELCOMES NEW APPROACH TO TOURISM Introduction Culture
Because of the great diversity of people and culture, Nigeria has distinguished herself over the centuries in the field of arts. Nigerian versatility in art is so great that it is generally felt that all African nations should view Nigeria as the principal trustee of the most durable fruits of black artistic genius. It is not precisely known when the first works of Nigerian art reached the outside world, but in 1897, following a British punitive expedition to Benin, over 2,000 Benin bronzes and ivories were shipped to England and later dispersed all over Europe and America. Nigeria's cultural heritage is woven from threads of history and diversity, legend and conquest. Tourists visiting the country will gain insights to a glorious past as well as a promising future, set amid the natural beauty of this diverse country. From rain forests in the south, broad savanna woodlands in the center to a semi-desert region in the north, Nigeria offers a remarkable range of physical beauty in her land and hospitality of her people, ready to be enjoyed by the tourist fortunate enough to choose this land of ancient empires as their travel destination. Nigeria is a vast country with a population of about 120 people covering about 923,768 sq.km of landmass, located wholly within the tropics. The country aptly described as the 'Giant of Africa' is richly endowed with ecological and cultural resources, which are of universal recognition. The richness and diversity of the Nigeria culture is a manifestation of the socio-cultural differences of the over 250 ethnic groups that inhabit the land for ages.

Nigeria: A tourism destination full of challenges by Helen C. Broadus Additional Photos of Nigeria I had the wonderful opportunity to participate in a Familiarization (FAM) Tour to Nigeria, West Africa this past October as a member of Tourism Consortium International (TCI). The overall purpose of this trip was to experience the level of readiness of Nigeria's travel and tourism infrastructure to include its hotel accommodations, air and road transportation, hospitality amenities and security services. This journey was made possible by the efforts of Chief Margaret B. Fabiyi, Nigeria's ASTA Chapter President, who was able to have KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and the Nigerian Tourism Development Corporation (NTDC) co-sponsor the two-week program.

    The military annulled the elections and returned the country to military rule. Sani Abacha, a senior aide to the former president, Babangida, emerged as the new military strongman and, over the next five years, presided over an increasingly oppressive regime. Abiola was put under arrest and other opponents of the regime were jailed or exiled. The regime attracted particular criticism for its treatment of the Ogoni people, located in the oil-rich southeast of the country. Their leader, the renowned writer Ken Saro-Wiwa, was executed on trumped-up charges along with eight colleagues. Thereafter, the Abacha government suffered increasing diplomatic isolation, much of it orchestrated by Nelson Mandela, then president of South Africa. Abacha, it later transpired, was also busily defrauding the Nigerian exchequer of huge sums, estimated at around $1 billion.
    Shadowed by a military all too keen to intervene on the slightest pretext, the inexperienced civilian government faced a formidable task. Apart from the dire economic situation, compounded by extensive and routine corruption, the Obasanjo government had to deal with growing religious conflict. A particular problem was the decision of several local and regional governments in the mainly Muslim north of the country to introduce a version of Islamic

    Nurturing the democratic debate. President Olusegun Obasanjo of Nigeria celebrates Africa Day at UNESCO 25-05-2005 6:50 pm President Olusegun Obasanjo of Nigeria, who is also serving as the Chairman of the African Union (AU), outlined Africa’s achievements, development plans and expectations during a visit to UNESCO on the occasion of Africa Day celebrations. During the visit, President Obsanjo and the Director-General of UNESCO, Koïchiro Matsuura, signed a Joint Communiqué paving the way for reinforced cooperation. “Today, my intent is actually to celebrate Africa,” President Obasanjo declared, “to show that Africa is moving away from being a region of hunger, pain, misery, backwardness and perpetual bad news, to a continent of opportunity, possibilities and progress.”
    Reviewing recent international efforts to support Africa’s “fight to break the debilitating cycle of poverty and conflict”, the President spoke of a “new wave of reforms […] based on dialogue, consultation, monitoring and periodic reviews […].” He warned that debt was “a direct obstacle to growth and development and, by implication, an obstacle to democratic consolidation.” Reforms already undertaken to promote good governance and create an enabling environment for the private sector justified international debt relief, he argued. “Africa will not develop or make progress when its meagre resources are frittered away on debt servicing […]. We simply cannot run when our legs are bound and our hands tied behind our backs.”

    Nigeria Fertility Rates By Tatiana Askoak George Guthridge Associate Professor University of Alaska Fairbanks The fertility rates in Nigeria are high because of Nigerian resistance toward family planning. Strangely, African maternal mortality rates are also the highest in the world. Nigerian culture includes many myths, rituals, and herbal uses to regulate women’s fertility. Unfortunately, much of their techniques aren’t effective. For example, one ritual tool still used today is the "teso." This object, made of red feathers, is believed to prevent any man to have sexual intercourse with a girl until the spell is removed. Another Nigerian belief, that sex during menstruation will turn people into albinos, will actually increase the chances of pregnancy. The menstruation seems to be the center of numerous other beliefs in the Nigerian culture. Many tribes believe that a woman should not cook for or sleep with their husband while menstruating because she could take away his powers (Keller, 1996,1) Sadly, a woman who dies childless has not fulfilled her life because she is often considered the sexual property of her husband and providing him with children is her main job. These women are called

Nigeria Time and Date Nigeria Culture Back to Top Nigeria, The most populous nation in Africa and the tenth largest nation by population in the world, is located at the eastern terminus of the bulge of West Africa. As with many of the other nations of Africa, Nigeria's national boundaries result from its colonial history and cut across a number of cultural and physical boundaries. Nigeria has a total area of 923,768 square kilometers, about 60 % the size of the state of Alaska, and the greatest area of the nations along the coast of West Africa -although in Africa as a whole, it is only the 14th largest nation by area. The maximum north-south distance within the nation is about 1,040 kilometers, while the maximum east-west distance is about 1,120 kilometers. Although it represents only about 3 % of the surface area of Africa, Nigeria contains about 20 % of total African population. In this and other respects, it is arguably the single most valuable nation on the continent. Aside from Lagos, the most rapid recent rates of urbanization in the 1980s were around Port Harcourt in the Niger Delta region, which was at the heart of the oil boom, and generally throughout the Igbo and other areas of the southeast. These regions historically had few urban centers, but numerous large cities, including Onitsha, Owerri, Enugu, Aba, and Calabar, grew very rapidly as commercial and administrative centers. The Yoruba southwest was by 1990 still the most highly urbanized part of the nation, while the middle belt was the least urbanized. The problems of Lagos, as well as the desire for a more centrally located capital that would be more of a force for national unity, led to the designation in 1976 of a site for a new national capital at Abuja.
