Jones' Photographs of Nigerian Masquerades For when all is said and done, a work of art must ultimately be judged by its visual effect; its appeal must be universal and regardless of age, its function, its maker or what other people have to say about it. (G.I. Jones, The Art of Eastern Nigeria, 1984.) Gwilym Iwam Jones wrote the above sentence to introduce the art of eastern Nigeria. It could have been written about his own photographs, particularly those depicting the performance of masquerades in the region during the 1930s. Not only do they illustrate Jones' mastery of the photographic technique, they also bring out the vivid imagination that framed his images. Their appeal lies in their ability to communicate actions, expressions and responses of people photographed, be they the performers, the audience or the local villagers. By using natural shadows to illuminate details, by experimenting with exposure times, apertures and focal lengths, Jones captured the experience of participating in many kinds of masquerades that are rarely performed today.

Country Info Nigeria Introduction Nigeria General Data Nigeria Maps Nigeria Culture ... Nigeria Time and Date Nigeria Culture Back to Top Nigeria's rich and varied cultural heritage derives from the mixture of its different ethnic groups with Arabic and western European cultural influences. Secret societies, such as Ekpo and Ekpe among the peoples of the southeast, were formerly used as instruments of government, while other institutions were associated with matrimony. According to the Fulani custom of sharo (test of young manhood), rival suitors underwent the ordeal of caning as a means of eliminating those who were less persistent, while in Ibibio territory girls approaching marriageable age were confined for several years in bride-fattening rooms before they were given to their husbands. These and other customs were discouraged by colonial administrators and missionaries. Some of the more adaptable cultural institutions have been revived since independence; these include Ekpo and Ekong societies for young boys in parts of the southeast and the Ogboni society found in the Yoruba and Edo areas of southern Nigeria.

NIGERIA - Introduction Land and Resources, The People of Nigeria Arts , Economy, Government, History III. The People of Nigeria In 2002 Nigeria's estimated population was 129,934,911, yielding an average density of 141 persons per sq km (364 per sq mi). At the last census, in 1991, the population totaled 88.5 million. Like previous censuses, notably the annulled 1962 and 1973 censuses and the hotly disputed 1963 census, the accuracy of the 1991 census was highly controversial. Before the 1991 census, the number of registered voters indicated that Nigeria's population was probably between 115 and 125 million—that is, about 30 percent more than claimed in the census.
With a birth rate of 39.2 per 1,000 and a death rate of 14.1 per 1,000, Nigeria's population is growing at an average of 3 percent annually—a rapid pace, and little changed from the 1970s. The average Nigerian woman gives birth six times in her lifetime, although among more educated women the rate is somewhat lower. Nearly half of Nigerians are younger than 15 years. By 2025 the population is projected to grow to 204 million, nearly double the current size.
The highest population densities are in the Igbo heartland in southeastern Nigeria, despite poor soils and heavy emigration.

Bradford Morrow
CHINUA ACHEBE AND I MET for the first time on Martin Luther King Day, this year. It was snowing hard and the trip from New York up the Saw Mill River and the Taconic was daunting. When I pulled into the little frozen-mud drive that led to his house near Annandale-on-Hudson, and was asked in, I felt an immediate sense of warmth warmth both physical and of spirit. I'd heard this about Chinua and his family. I had heard that he was not just a man of immense literary greatness, but that he embodied a profoundly decent humanity.
Since that snowy day I have had the good fortune of passing many hours with him up at Bard College, where we both teach. I've since read and reread all his books, and count him without hesitation as one of my favorite writers. I think it is a shame that he a hero in his native Nigeria, well-known throughout the rest of Africa, and in Europe remains less appreciated in America. Many readers, myself quite obviously included, are committed to Chinua Achebe's vision and work. But it is clear to me that many more people would be well advised to examine the implications of his novels, his essays, his stories and poems especially in this country, which is altogether too insulated from world-writers, as we might call them, writers who reach out beyond the imaginable and attempt to address life at its widest possible cast. From the publication of his first novel, Things Fall Apart

WOMEN IN AFRICA:
THEIR SOCIO-POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC ROLES
Titi Ufomata
INTRODUCTION
Nigeria is twice the size of California, roughly the size of Texas, with over 103 million people. More than 250 languages are spoken in the country including English. Multilingualism is a way of life for many Nigerians especially those who live in urban areas. The major religions are Christianity, Islam and traditional indigenous religions. Nigeria has the second largest economy (second to South Africa) on the continent. It is easy to see that within such a country there are bound to be different groups and classes of women. Obviously, their reality would differ from one another depending on their peculiar situation. For this reason, I will narrow my focus even further as the discussion progresses, to market women in Nigeria.
WOMEN IN AFRICA: THEIR SOCIO-POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC ROLES
While all women around the world share many social disabilities, one must not lose sight of the fact that strong differences exist between them. This is where problems arise when any group of women purport to speak for and on behalf of others simply because they are all women. Whereas there are marked differences from location to location, western feminist theory has historically privileged gender over issues of race and economic location, both of which are of paramount importance in any discussion on women in Africa. It is fair to add however, that in recent years a more nuanced analysis of the `spectrum of differences' has emerged in the literature, thus making it a little more compatible with the experiences of African women and women from other locations.

African Conceptions of Gender and the Slave Traffic
G. Ugo Nwokeji
THE gender and age structure of the transatlantic slave trade is critical to understanding the development of societies of the Atlantic rim. From the broad perspective of contact between the Old World and the New, two salient characteristics of that structure have emerged from the recent literature. First, as is now well known, males predominated in the Atlantic slave trade, though compared to other branches of pre-nineteenth-century migration, both coerced and free, females and children were well represented. Second, the proportion of African women and children carried across the Atlantic was far from constant or uniform; sex and age ratios varied strongly by region and over time. Attempts to explain these broad patterns have generally focused on the economic functions of slaves on both sides of the Atlantic, but especially the requirements of the plantation complexes of the Americas, without which a transatlantic slave trade would not have existed. Even though New World planters demanded men, they quickly discovered that enslaved African women had a high work rate. Planters forced black men and women alike to labor in the fields, and the price differential between males and females was generally much lower in the Americas than in Africa.
