 Nigeria: Giant of Africa is a giant in terms of its rainforests and savannah stretches that it features across its terrain.Where the rest of the world is battling to conserve their natural reserve amidst the pollution and exploitation, Nigeria is still giving its best efforts and the results are not disappointing.It is the 6th out of seventeen most biodiverse regions of the world. These forests are home to a diversified flora and fauna. It ranks as the 10th most diversified flora rich region of the world. Apart from this the country ranks third in the richest marine biodiversity genre.

 This country is also a hub of ethnicity. It houses some of the oldest and most ethnic tribal and cultural groups of the world. These groups are known for their nature friendly practices and minimalism inspired livelihood. Despite living in the wild, they are one of the most resistant to diseases. Many explorers have visited these groups to learn about their rituals and culture that promote a healthy lifestyle.

 The ethnic Education

 To ensure that the new generation adults do not forget their roots, children are given training on their ethnicity and culture. They are taught how to live in harmony with nature. Though the training might seem to be a bit harsh, the child grows up to be fully independent adult who has the requisite skills to earn his own livelihood. They are trained in skills such as weaving, carpentry and much more. Though employment rate is challenged throughout the globe and Nigeria being no exception to it, yet indigenous people manage to fill their tummies pertaining to the initial training they have received.

  Economics: 

20th largest economy as of 2015, worth more than $500 billion and $1 trillion in terms of nominal GDP and purchasing power parity

Wars and conflicts

Ekumeku War (1883–1914) was a series of     uprisings against the rising power of the Royal Niger Company of     the British Empire in Anioma, the Igbo subgroup     in present day Delta     State. Although the Ekumeku failed in 1914, but the     western Anioma treasure their memory as imperishable legacy. Heroes     included DunkwuIsus of Onicha-Olona, NwabuzoIyogolo of     Ogwashi-Ukwu, AwunoUgbo, Obi of Akumazi,     AgbambuOshue of Igbuzo, Idabor of Issele-Ukwu, OcheiAghaeze of     Onicha-Olona, Abuzu of Idumuje-Unor, IdegwuOtokpoike of Ubulu-Ukwu are     still remembered in Anioma land. The Ekumeku War is one of the most     vigorous campaign of opposition to the British empire and inspired later     rebellions such as the Mau     Mau of Kenya.

The     Anglo–Aro War (1901–1902) was a conflict between the     Aro Confederacy in present-day Eastern Nigeria, and the British Empire.     Some of the Aro leaders, like OkoroToti, were arrested, tried by     tribunals, and hanged. The Aro Confederacy was destroyed and EzeKanuOkoro     (king of Arochukwu), went into hiding but was later arrested.

Aba     Women’s Riots of November 1929 – Igbo women protested     and accused Warrant Chiefs of restricting the role of women in the     government. 

Civil war (1967–1970) – “The disequilibrium     and perceived corruption of the electoral and political process led, in     1966, to back-to-back military coups. In May 1967, the Southern Region     declared independence as a state called the Republic of Biafra, under the leadership of     Lt. Colonel EmekaOjukwu.[64] The Nigerian Civil War began as the official     Nigerian government side attacked Biafra on 6 July 1967 at Garkem. The     30-month war, with a long siege of Biafra and its isolation from trade and     supplies, ended in January 1970.[65] Estimates of the number of dead in the former Eastern     Region are between 1 and 3 million people, from warfare, disease,     and starvation,     during the 30-month civil war.”

 Some Trivia

Over 250 ethnic groups

Nigeria is the 12th largest producer of     petroleum in the world and the 8th largest exporter, and has the 10th     largest proven reserves. (The country joined OPEC in 1971.) Petroleum     plays a large role in the Nigerian economy, accounting for 40% of GDP and     80% of Government earnings.

Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala

(1954)

La economista africana Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala fue clave para el crecimiento económico de su natal Nigeria, donde promovió un estado transparente y activo en su recuperación financiera.

Nació en Ogwashi-Ukwu en 1954, donde tuvo una infancia feliz con una muy buena educación. Hasta que la guerra civil de 1967 hizo que su padre fuera al frente, mientras Ngozi y su familia tenían que moverse de lugar en lugar, con apenas para comer una vez al día.

Con 18 años se fue a estudiar a Estados Unidos, donde en 1976 se graduó con los máximos honores en Economía en la Universidad de Harvard, y luego obtuvo su PhD en MIT con una tesis sobre la política crediticia, los mercados rurales y el desarrollo agrícola de Nigeria. Durante 21 años trabajó en el Banco Mundial con énfasis en diferentes partes del mundo como Asia y África, donde promovió muchas iniciativas para ayudar a países pobres frente a crisis financieras y de alimentos.

En 1999 Nigeria tuvo sus primeras elecciones democráticas en 16 años, y el ganador Olusegun Obansajo le pidió a Ngozi que escribiera un texto sobre las reformas económicas que se necesitaban. Ese fue el paso para que la nombraran como la primera mujer Ministra de Finanzas en Nigeria, cargo en el que estuvo durante dos periodos: 2003-2006 y 2011-2015.

A pesar de que muchos la miraban escépticos, y la llamaban “la mujer problema”, sus capacidades de gestión hicieron que el país creciera al 6% durante 3 años. Implementó una política que promovió la transparencia y el combate a la corrupción, con medidas como limpiar al gobierno de operadores políticos fantasmas y publicar mensualmente en el diario la asignación financiera del gobierno federal de Nigeria.

Su habilidad de negociación en 2005 con el Club Crediticio de Paris hizo que Nigeria borrara en un 60% su deuda externa con la entidad por US$18 billones de dólares, y además Ngozi creó un innovador mecanismo que permitió reducir la deuda externa de US$35 billones a US$5 billones de dólares. También estableció una cuenta especial con los ingresos acumulados por encima del precio fijo del petróleo que ayudó a reducir la volatilidad económica.

Su experiencia hace que sea miembro de numerosos directorios y grupos asesores como la Campaña ONE, El Instituto Mundial de Recursos, la Clinton Global Initiative, la Institución Nelson Mandela, y los Institutos Africanos de Ciencia y Tecnología entre muchos otros. Hoy dirige la Junta de la Alianza Global para la Vacunación y la Inmunización (GAVI) y la RCA.
