Nigeria is a Federal Republic,A federation is a state composed of a number of self-governing regions (often themselves referred to as 'states' or 'regions') united by a central, federal government. In a federation, unlike in a unitary state, the self-governing status of autonomous regions is constitutionally entrenched and cannot be revoked by a unilateral decision of the central government. Usage of the term republic is inconsistent but, as a minimum, it means a state that does not have a monarch as head of state, comprising 36 states plus the Federal Capital Territory of Abuja. Each state has a unicameral House of Assembly and an elected Governor, who appoints an Executive Council.Nigeria, the House of Assembly is the name given to each state legislature.

Yea,\nThe answer  (above) to the your question is okay and reliable as mine but it all depends on the category of job,for instance the pay package for workers in the oil and gas industry is  not the same with that paid toan ordinary civil servant.So, if are more specific then,I  can give you facts and figures from here in Nigeria.\n\n\nAaron

Nigeria is currently divided into 36 states and one federal capital territory. Total 36+1 = 37 . The names are given below.\n\nBefore and after independence in 1960, Nigeria was a federation of three Regions: Northern, Western, and Eastern. In 1963, two provinces were detached from the Western Region to form the new Mid-Western Region. In 1967, the regions were replaced by 12 states; only the former Mid-Western Region escaped division, and formed a single state following the restructuring. From 1967 to 1970 the areas of Mid-Western State and the Eastern Region attempted to secede, as Biafra. In 1976, seven new states were created, making 19 altogether; the Federal Capital Territory (now called Abuja) was established also. In 1987 two new states were established, followed by another 10 in 1991, bringing the total to 31. The latest change, in 1996, resulted in the present number of 36 states.\n\nAbia \nAdamawa \nAkwa Ibom \nAnambra \nBauchi \nBayelsa \nBenue \nBorno \nCross River \nDelta \nEbonyi \nEdo \nEkiti \nEnugu \nGombe \nImo \nJigawa \nKaduna \nKano\nKatsina \nKebbi \nKogi \nKwara \nLagos \nNassarawa \nNiger \nOgun \nOndo \nOsun \nOyo \nPlateau \nRivers \nSokoto \nTaraba \nYobe \nZamfara \n\nAbuja Federal Capital Territory

Verdict of History\nThis Day (Lagos), 18 October 2000\nLagos—Last weekend former military president, Gen. Ibrahim Babangida, came on the centre stage, once again. In Jos, Plateau State his associates put together a three-day symposium with the theme, The Babangida Regime: Problems and Perspectives of Interpretation. \n\nAt the symposium were those men who served in Babangida's government. Leading the orchestra was the then chief of general staff turned vice president, Admiral Augustus Aikhomu. Then there were Hamza Abdullahi, Alex Akinyele and Uche Chukwumerije, all ministers in that government. There were also retired military officers some of whom did say they could follow Babangida to battle blindfolded - John Shagaya, John Inienger, Tunji Olurin, etc. Not left out were palace advisers like Sam Oyovbaire and a coterie of court historians. The purpose of the symposium was simple - to defend the programmes and policies of the Babangida administration, revise the nation's history and reposition the self- styled Maradona as a leader with vision. \n\nThe temptation was there to ignore the symposium considering the fact that the participants therein were yesterday's men who have been so completely forgotten, if not irrelevant, that they are today looking for attention and relevance. A symposium to reclaim Babangida if not the devil himself could only provide a convenient platform to get the needed attention. But then Babangida's signature was too prominent on the symposium to be ignored. The former president was not physically present at the symposium; he delivered a dinner speech entitled, We have reengineered Nigeria. A master of philosophical obfuscation, Babangida attempted very strongly to explain away the present democratic dispensation as the consummation of his administration's vision and the realisation of its goals. Nigeria is today a democracy. I am happy... that our vision for which I had invested all of my energy and tasked my colleagues even beyond endurance, has been fulfilled, he asseverated in self-glorification. \n\nBabangida made some other claims. He said his government did not deliberately go out of its way to abridge anybody's rights. Whenever an infringement of rights occurred, it must have been an error, not deliberate. He said his vision was to build a democracy that would endure. He asserted that his presidency has changed Nigeria irrevocably, that the country has been so reengineered that today we all live in a new Nigeria. He contented that his regime faced so many challenges some of which generated the kind of momentum that were neither fathomable nor within human control. Statecraft in essence is about taking decisions and solving problems. Both require courage, resolve and nerves; but more especially foresight and fortitude, Babangida said. He gave the impression that while he was not lacking in all these, his administration did make some mistakes, just as any mortal would have done. In accepting responsibility for every mistake of his government, he said he expects the understanding and magnanimity of Nigerians. In every line of his speech Babangida valiantly tried to rewrite history, using a combination of half-truths, meaningless phrases and outright lies. \n\nBabangida's desperation is hardly surprising. Throughout his eight-year reign, he was very concerned with his place in history. Everything he did and said he had an eye on the verdict of history. Luckily for him, as military president he had enormous goodwill. He charmed the nation with his toothy smiles and confused the people with the constant twists and turns in his social engineering policies that Nigerians practically ate from his hands. But then Babangida mistook his heroism for immortality; he assumed that popularity was synonymous with sainthood. He overreached himself, dribbled the people once too many and annulled the June 12, 1993 presidential elections. It is a measure of Babangida's perfidy tha

Beginning probably around the 1600s, various European nations began colonizing parts of Africa. The Europeans would go into a country and claim the land as their own, often enslave the people (sometimes sending them off to other colonies in the new world) and exploit the natural resources. After hundreds of years of colonial rule, African nations began rebelling, beginning around the middle of the 20th century. One by one, African nations gained independence. However, the power vacuum left by the European's departure was often filled by corrupt, despotic dictators. \n\nIn my opinion, the biggest disruptive thing the Europeans left behind was a legacy of exploitation of the people by the leadership of the country. This legacy is manifested by extreme poverty (despite ample natural resources available) and corrupt leadership. \n\nbasically, the Europeans used the africans then left them hurt and brioken with little ongoing support or help in liberating themselves from tyrannical rule.

"The Igbos are found mostly in the Southeastern and South-central Nigeria called Igboland or Igbo society (Alaigbo or Anaigbo). By the late 20th century the population of the Igbos are about 27 million.1 The majority of the Igbos are Christians, but some of them practice the indigenous traditional religion, whose major tenets are shared by all Igbo-speaking people of Nigeria (Uchendu 1965). The traditional religion is passed on to succeeding generations, but the advent of Christianity in Igboland around "1885" had some influence on the traditional beliefs (Talbot 1969). The indigenous traditionalists believe in the earth goddess, deities and ancestral spirits and in a Creator-God, Chukwu, Obasi, Chi, or Chineke, the "Supreme God" (Achebe 1959). The Igbo traditional beliefs have some positive influence on the culture and social lives of the people. For instance, the forefathers of the Igbos were known for their righteousness, honesty and hard work. And they were opinion leaders, impartial judges and people of impeccable character. \n\nHowever, a relic of the indigenous religious practice of the Igbos is the dehumanizing Osu caste system, which has divided and alienated the Igbos. \n\nTherefore, this paper discusses the Osu caste system, an indigenous religious belief system, practiced within the Igbo nation, with the purpose of bringing the discriminatory, dehumanizing and obnoxious Osu caste system to the attention of the international community. This is because whenever issues of discriminatory practices around the world are tabled for discussion in the international community the repugnant and discriminatory Osu caste system is never mentioned. \n\nDefinitions of Terms\n\nIt is essential to provide some definitions and clarifications of terms associated with the Osu caste system. It would be very difficult, if not impossible to explain and analyze the terms related to the issue to individuals who are not familiar with the system without an explanation of the many labels describing the Osu. Each ethnic nationality in Nigeria has its own reasons for discriminating against their own people; and some of the reasons are apparently religious. \n\nThe Igbos, which are the center of this discourse, discriminate against each other by reason of the Osu caste status. The Igbo people refer to the Osu in varied names; it is referred to as Adu-Ebo in Nzam in Onitsha. In the Nsukka area it is referred to as Oruma; it is called Nwani or Ohualusi at Augwu area.2 These names, Osu, Ume, Ohu, Oru, Ohu Ume, Omoni (Okpu-Aja), have the same connotation in Igboland. The people referred to by the names are regarded as sub-human being, the unclean class, or slaves.\n\nIn this paper the author shall use the term, Osu, to describe all the lower caste groups in Igboland. It should noted that in their hierarchy of social status, the Ume (especially, in this author’s community) is the Osu class the Diala abhors to interact or socialize with the most. \n\nThe Osu, by definition, is a people sacrificed to the gods in Igbo community. And they assist the high priest of the traditional religion to serve the deities or the gods in their shrine. It is the belief of many Igbo traditionalists that the deities, which were (and are still) perceived in some quarters as being very powerful, would wreck havoc in the society, if they are not appeased. In some special circumstances, those who hold the traditional beliefs of the Igbos could transform a Diala who committed certain atrocities against the land, into an Osu. This process involved intricate rituals (offering of libations and sacrificing animals to the earth goddess). Some of the ancestors of the present-day Osu people inherited their dehumanizing social status this way. That method is now a thing of the old; Western influence has affected this practice. Presently, one could acquire the Osu status through inheritance and marriage. \n\nBecause of many oral interpretations of the constr

Look at all of the unrest in Africa -- it's ALL directly related to the colonization of Africa.\n\nThe British had a nasty habit of arming and equiping a minority group to keep the majority ethnic group 'at bay'.  This little policy of theirs is directly related to various ethnic problems, Rwanda is a perfect example.
