Oil War - Nigeria June 2005 Nigeria's lucrative oil reserves may have enriched its politicians but they've brought little but misery to ordinary people. Now, a rebel group is fighting for a share of the profits. "I need help. I need help," begs a woman, clutching her young children in despair. Her home has just been demolished to create luxury housing for foreign oil workers. "The oil boom has turned into the oil doom!" laments Pastor Lekia. Across the Niger Delta, there's growing resentment at the oil industry. "Corruption pervades the whole place, starting with the way contracts are awarded," complains lawyer Ledum Mittee. "There seems to be some sort of collusion between the oil companies and those in power." But militia leader Asari Dokubo has vowed to sever that link. He's fighting to seize control of the oil and give it back to the people. "We own the oil!" he proclaims. "The thieves are the people in Abuja." And across Nigeria, young men are flocking to his call. Last September, he spooked the international markets and forced the price of oil to $50 a barrel by threatening to attack foreign oil companies. The government was forced to agree a truce but he's threatened to rearm unless oil companies leave. Nigerians no longer expect help from their own government. It's militia leaders like Asari who are winning their trust. Tags: Nigeria Oil War Documentary current Africa Rebels Poverty Journeyman Pictures |

Cults - Nigeria July 2005 In Nigeria, University fraternities have taken on brutal extremes. Students are being murdered and defiled with impunity by vicious cult members. 'It was a baptism of fire' recalls vice chancellor of University Benin. 'They cut his head open and flipped it -- like a cap, so that the brain matter and everything splattered around the building'. Over 80 Nigerian students have died in gruesome attacks by cult members in the last two years. No-one has ever been convicted. Cultists are often found to be children of prominent Nigerians and are often used by the regime itself to intimidate, maim and kill opponents. Cult leader, Meyer, explains how he uses the police to exact revenge on his opponents: 'We guide the police, pick them out to get them killed'. Universities are supposed to be the future of developing nations but a vocal minority here are trying to keep Nigeria in the Dark Ages.

Nollywood - Nigeria April 2005 First there was Hollywood. Then came Bollywood and now Nollywood. The Nigerian film industry is the third biggest in the world. Up to a thousand movies are released in Nigeria every year but the country still lacks any cinemas. The movies are for the home video market. It's a world where anyone can be a star and the hottest place to do business is Lagos market. As director Ralph Nwadike states: "Nollywood is here to stay. Bollywood watch out, Hollywood here we come." Tags: journeyman pictures africa nigeria film industry hollywood bollywood nollywood |

Oil Turmoil - Nigeria March 1999 This beautifully-shot expose takes you to the heart of the corporate/tribal struggle. Nigeria's impoverished oil-producing communities are outraged. They see few returns from the myriad of oil wells that pollute their villages. We see forests destroyed by disastrous oil spills, whilst Shell provides evidence to suggest many spills are sabotage, in order to gain compensation. But time has run out for the beleaguered multi-national: Ijaw youths issued the 'Kaiama declaration', demanding Shell leave their land by December. The deadline was ignored and the Ijaw have relaunched a new bout of forced closures and hostage-taking. Shell is powerless to defend itself without calling in the corrupt and vicious army. Wounded youths lie in crude hospitals, victims of the army's defence of the flow stations they fail to seize. Felix Tuodolo, signatory of the Kaiama declaration, says the crisis will continue:'We will keep going down to those flow stations. Our blood will flow.' He claims the Ijaw remain unarmed, but reports of armed youths training in the bush spell out a bleak future. Shell says it is ready to negotiate, but it may be too little, too late.

Democracy Versus Tradition - Nigeria April 1999 Nigeria is a nation divided. It's the great Nigerian paradox that the arid, resourceless north enjoys wealth, stability, and the patronage of government while the oil rich Delta in the South is a land of anarchy and poverty. The division is a recipe for discontent. Northern Nigeria is a vision of Islamic civilisation. In ornate robes the Muslim faithful bow and scrape in the traditional Emir's court. Since independence this educated northern elite has kept a stranglehold on power as successive corrupt military governments have plundered the Christian south of it's oil riches. Now chronically under-developed the Delta region is set to explode. "Oil is conflict, oil is war!" says Oronto: one of a new breed of militant activists who have turned to violence to get a slice of the profits. Obasanjo can no longer keep a lid on the south's problems with brute force. His civilian government will need more than a change of uniform to bring Nigeria back from the brink.

The World Bank - Village Phone Nigeria Making a phone call is something that many people take for granted. Yet millions in rural villages around the world simply do not have easy or affordable access to a telephone. The Village Phone concept was developed precisely to help extend access to telecommunications beyond the urban areas. Started by GrameenPhone in Bangladesh -- a client of IFC, IFC is now working with MTN (also an IFC client) and other partners to replicate the Village Phone concept in several African countries, starting with Nigeria. IFC also collaborated with the Grameen Foundation and other partners to create a Village Phone Replication Manual -- essentially a 'how-to' resource for setting up a Village Phone project. Beyond providing much needed communication access, the Village Phone model goes a long way to empower the women operators, spur economic activities and promote entrepreneurialism. http://www.worldbank.org/connectingafrica Tags: nigeria africa worldbank world bank bangladesh telecommunication telephone |
