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

Nigeria is a democracy - The president is Olusegun Obasanjo.  Although, maybe he is trying to turn Nigeria back into a monarchy - there are rumors that he will try to change the constitution to allow him to run for a third term as president.

I have never been to Nigeria, but have had the oppertunity of having many freinds and acquintences from there when i was in college. \n\nI have come to know them as a nation of great people, talented and intellegent and an excellet sence of homour, no one can argue like a bunch of nigerians. its infortunate that all this talent and natural resources of such a wealthy nation are going to waste due to unchecked corrucption. they also have an reputation of being conman, which unfortunatly is based on the numerouse succesful and some failed con artists from nigeria.\n\nover all with the right leadership and will of the people, the country has a great future. they need to over come internal problems based on religion and caste.

Personal and Institutional Factors in Capacity Building and Institutional Development \n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n \nMentz, J.C.N. / European Centre for Development Policy Management (ECDPM) , 1997  \nThe central focus of this paper is an analysis of the concepts of capacity and capacity building and their role in public service management. The civil service plays a central role not only in economic development, but also in the development process as a whole. The focus therefore will be on what constitutes capacity? How is capacity developed or built? And how does capacity building fit into the process of civil service reform?

Nigeria does not seem to have a great fiscal policy or a proper program for implementation. Also statistics of Nigeria can be totally misleading considering the corrupt governance of the country. African countries have beautiful paper work but little practical application. It is a sad thing to note that so much of money is pumped into these countries that vanish in thin air without reaching the needy. The people have to change their attitude first. Pride and honesty must be their top priority if at all they need to become a respectable nations.

Nigerian democracy is being challenged by the economic inequity that is causing members of the country to start rebellions.  The US has social programs to provide needed services for the poor.

He used Nigeria's money to do things for himself. He was a dictator. I remember when I was about six years old and he died, my neighbor had a party. Everybody was sooooo happy.
