Although the general strike Government Violence Sharia II OSHOGBO - HOLY SMOKE 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. III BENIN The city of Benin is today far from picturesque. It is, in every way, a modern Nigerian city, untidy, dusty, smoky, smelly, noisy, crowded with an unbeleivable quantity of horn-tooting vehicles, yet resounding with the frenetic activity of countless small scale industries, to an extent unimagineable in other West African countries. Walking along the garbage strewn streets, one catches brief glimpses, in the ubiquitous low concrete houses, of rooms crowded with artisans concentrating intently on their labour. Particularly noticeable are the gate makers. Elaborately decorated iron gates are very popular in Nigeria. Strips of metal are beaten with hammers into delicate twists and curls to form great fans and floral motifs set into a heavy iron framework. Completed examples are laid out by the roadside as advertisements of the gatemaker's skill. Needless to say, the gates are all 10 feet high and topped with elegant, razor-sharp spikes.

Over the last two years, Powerhouse presented a long list of exhibitions, performances, concerts and conferences. Several "Alchemy" friends turned up for my presentation - Molly Hankwitz and David Cox brought fresh material from their Archimedia projects, Lisa Anderson from her Writing the City, public installation&collaborations project and Patricia Adams her new CD. Kim Machan director of MAAP (Multimedia Art Asia Pacific Inc.) hosted me in Brisbane. Since 1998 MAAP has promoted innovative art and technology in Australia and the Asia Pacific regions, through showcasing four festivals.

In addition to an exhibition program, IMA produces yearly an impressive array of publications and supports an artist residency program. The splendidly renovated building includes a modern theater space and houses several organizations focused on performing arts.

What we are seeing is the re-enactment of a century old scenario. The transfer of riches from the oppressed Nigerian masses to giant western multinationals and a handful of brigands in Africa. With the difference however that unprecedented technological means and propaganda are being mobilised to carry out the plunder on a scale never before seen. This is why we believe it is more than ever important for progressive forces in the west and in Africa to join hands.

At his first rally in East Jerusalem last week, Gandhi led thousands of Palestinians, including Prime Minister Ahmed Qurei, and a handful of Israeli peace campaigners on a march against the wall being built across the West Bank. Under the banner "No to violence, yes to peace", the protest was designed to promote the path of Palestinian peaceful resistance to Israel's military occupation. After four years of armed Intifada, the US- based group that organised his visit Palestinians for Peace and Democracy believes that the philosophy of non-violent struggle can be exported to the West Bank and Gaza where it will mobilise the Palestinian masses to find new ways to oppose the occupation.

HISTORY AND PEOPLE NIGERIA Much has been said and written about Nigeria, her people and culture, economy and politics, that sheds light on the tremendous potential of this African Giant. However, little is known to the outside world about the many exciting tourist attractions available in Nigeria: Historic sites nestled amid rivers and rain forests, breathtaking mountain vistas, remote creek villages, miles of pristine beaches and exotic national wildlife reserves. There are also museums, festivals, music and dance, a rich cultural melange right down to everyday traditional markets. These are just some of the spectacular sights and sensual delights awaiting the traveler to Nigeria. Nigeria has the largest population of any country in Africa (about 120 million), and the greatest diversity of cultures, ways of life, cities and terrain. With a total land area of 923,768 sq. km. (356,668 sq. mi.) Nigeria is the 14th largest country in Africa. Its coastline, on the Gulf of Guinea, stretches 774 km (480 mi.). Nigeria shares its international border of 4,470 km (2513 mi.) with four neighbors: Chad, Cameroon, Benin, and Niger. Until 1989 the capital was Lagos, with a population of about 2,500,000, but the government recently moved the capital to Abuja. CLIMATE AND WEATHER Nigeria lies entirely within the tropics yet there are wide climactic variations. In general, there are two seasons, dry and wet, throughout Nigeria. Near the coast, the seasons are less sharply defined. Temperatures of over 900F are common in the north, but near the coast, where the humidity is higher, temperatures seldom climb above that mark. Inland, around the two great rivers, the wet season lasts from April-Oct. and the dry season from Nov.-March. Temperatures are highest from Feb-April in the south and MarchJune in the north; they're lowest in July and Aug. over most of the country.

DARAH BEING TEXT OF LECTURE AT THE 2ND NATIONAL CONVENTION OF THE IJAW YOUTH COUNCIL HELD AT YENAGOA, BAYELSA STATE ON SATRUDAY, JULY 10, 2004. On March 31, 2000, Professor Ebiegberi Joe Alagoa, one of the foremost Ijaw scholars of history, delivered a lecture at the Fourth Convention of the Ijaw National Congress held in Yenagoa, the capital of Bayelsa State. The title of the lecture was "The Ijaw Nation in the New Millennium". In his usually lucid and perspicacious manner, Alagoa traced the genesis of the Ijaw people from their earliest stage of about eight thousand years ago. Citing evidence from history and archaeology, Professor Alagoa showed that the emergence of the Ijaw Nation can be identified to be about a thousand years ago. The lecture provided a brief chronicle of the landmarks and accomplishments of the Ijaw people, paying particular attention to the point 500 years ago when the Ijaw came in contact with European nations. That encounter eventually led to the sucking of the Ijaw nation and its resources into the exploitative orbit of the economy of world capitalist nations, the colonial conquest of the Niger Delta and Nigeria and the loss of political and economic sovereignty of all the nations constituting what is now Nigeria. That phase of European imperialism started with the end of the Trans-Atlantic slave trade in the 1830s and culminated in the granting of independence in 1960, a development which ironically tightened the yoke of domestic or internal colonialism over the peoples and nations of the Niger Delta as petroleum became the mainstay of Nigeria's economy. In the words of Professor Alagoa, the Ijaw nation and its neighbours entered the 21st century as vassals or colonies of hegemonic power blocs of Nigeria. This status of bondage is exemplified by political domination and loss of control over economic, human and environmental resources.

advertisement Saturday, April 24, 2004 Ekpu Ancestral Figures And Oron People BY ADEBOYE .O. MOYOMOLA E KPU figures are wood-carving made by the people of Oron, a clan in Akwa-Ibom State in the South-Eastern part of Nigeria. They are elaborately carved figures used to represent their male ancestors. They are carved from one of the African hardest wood called Edulis. (Its botanical name-Pterocarpus Soyauxil). But locally called Akwa or Ekkom in Oron language. advertisement The carving are reputed to be one of the oldest finest wood sculptures in sub-saharan Africa, which are relatively resistant to the destructive effects of termites attack and weathering. They are probably the oldest group of wood carving surviving in Nigeria. In the present days, no new one is being carved, but few had been made within the memory of he living men. None of the authors that have researched or written on them can say exactly how old they are, but it is agreed that they were carved many generations a go. The importance of Ekpu carvings was first recognised when Kenneth Murray then an art teacher at the Teachers' Training College (now College of Education, Uyo) observed them in 1038. When Murray founded the Nigerian Antiquities Service later called Federal Deptartment of Antiquities in 1943, he immediately set about preserving them.
