THE news in my site is about nigeria
Here I could tell visitors about new additions to my site so they’ll be sure to see my most recent pictures and information.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. and future of abuja
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. and future of abuja.

PIP: The author projects population to the years 1990 and 2000 for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) of Nigeria and for the region of Abuja. The methodology used is outlined and seven different projections are presented, with figures provided separately for regions within the FCT. The scenarios considered include one assuming a growth rate similar to the past growth rate of Lagos and one based on growth rates seen in Brasilia, Brazil. Attention is given to the relative contributions of natural increase and in-migration.

about nigeria economic Nigeria’s economy, traditionally based on agriculture and trade, changed profoundly under colonial rule, beginning in the late 19th century. The need to pay taxes to the colonial government forced Nigerian farmers to replace food-producing crops with cash-producing crops, which the government bought at low prices and resold at a profit. In the 1960s and 1970s the petroleum industry developed, prompting greatly increased export earnings and allowing massive investments in industry, agriculture, infrastructure, and social services. Many of these large investments, often joint ventures with private corporations, failed. and nigeria sstrikThe NLC and CLO, on behalf of majority of Nigerians, want a reversal to pre-N43/litre pump price. Employers of labour in the private sector, through the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN), appealed to the government urging dialogue between both warring parties to avert the strike. The National Assembly, who are the representatives of all Nigerians (including the President and his pro-fuel-price-hike supporters),also called for dialogue to avert the strike. Lately, the Senate has disowned Senator Mantu, Chairman of the Committee on Palliatives, because his brief is not in line with the position of the Senate. Yet, the President continues to play God!
