Nigeria May Be A Developing Nation, But It Is Rich In Culture boiled met es with piece of based schizo @tulpapilled Hey hey, people Point-Counterpoint: Nigeria May Be A Developing Nation, But It Is Rich In Culture Nigeria Ever since taking West African His- tory 201, I've been fascinated by the of the human spirit. Nigerians don't need money for stereos or CDs: They make their own music! Along with a huge variety of drums, traditional instruments in- clude many kinds of flutes, xylo- phones, and wooden clappers. Music permeates all aspects of life there, in- cluding public assemblies, festivals, weddings, funerals, and storytelling sessions. In fact, in Nigeria, music lit- erally is a language: Giant slit drums are used to relay messages between villages situated along river systems. (At first, I figured it was like Morse Code, but I learned in class that it's actually an extremely sophisticated tonal language system!) There's a West African djembe-a large, goblet- shaped drum-at this store on Uni- versity Avenue for $450 that I totally want to get. The various ethnic groups of Nigeria all specialize in beautiful dances. The Ishan stilt dancers twist about in the rich cultural ta- pestry that is Nigeria. Profes- sor Olson really opened my eyes to Nigerian ac- complishments in art, music, and literature. What an incred- air wearing their multi-colored raffia- palm costumes. The Ubakala people resolve conflicts and mark the sea- sons of the yam and cocoa-yam har- vests with slow, ritualistic stomping Edo, ljo, Igbo, Igala, ldoma, Nuge. while wearing these huge, intricately carved wooden masks. Doesn't that sound amazing? Of course, I would only be reinforc- ing racist stereotypes if I just talked about Nigerians playing drums and dancing. Have you ever heard of the book Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe? He's a Nigerian writer. I's definitely one of the best books I've ever read. Then there's Wole Soyinka, the strength and his stuff is really funey. He's, ke the African James Brown But for all that cuture, the ment wondertul thing about Nigeria is the warmth and hospitality of its vared peoples. Whether they speak Yordha. Gwari, or a dialect of the Benue-Coe go subgroup, all Nigerians will greet a visitor to their By Zach Spence University of Vermont Junior meat and a bowl holding a sauce for dipping t's a ceremonial food ibly cool place! It's sad how this that I would really love to experience first-hand someday. As you can see, the rich cultural heritage of Nigeria gives its people of generosity and kindnes the media always dwell on the nega- tive aspects of African society. Grant- ed, Nigeria faces some economic challenges (the result of centuries of colonialist exploitation), but I'm sure Nigerians don't concern themselves with thoughts of shallow materialism when they are surrounded every day by such stirring, dynamic expressions o overcome the many the Nigerian playwright who won the Nobel Prize in 1986. He had to flee the challenges that a developing African nation such as itself faces. It must be such an exciting time to be in Nige ria right now. I've got to get ove country because the government wanted to kill him. Fela Kuti, the fa- mous musician, is also from Nigeria, there! a Get Me Out Of This Godforsaken Hellhole broken bottles. They attack you beat you down.The people somet chase a thief who steals a bag crowd chases him and throw down and beats him to deat money, billions and billions of dollars, it disappears. Millions of us live here in the Lagos slums with no electricity or sewage system. I don't want to smell the garbage rotting in the streets anymore. No one is safe. The police chase peo- ple in the streets and beat them like dogs. This new general, Abubakar, he is no better than the ones before. President Babangida, he stole $12 bil- lion from the Nigerian people. When people ask where the money goes, they are shot. They shoot people every Sunday on Victoria Beach. The bodies wash up on the sand after they throw them in the ocean. Last month, thieves broke the oil Ever since my parents and three brothers died in the gasoline explo- sion last month, pipeline to steal fuel. Many people rushed out to scoop up the fuel that spilled out-to use, to sell. Then, everything was in flames. Seven hun- dred people died. I saw the tractor throwing the burned bodies into a hole in the ground. My family is somewhere in that hole. The month before that, the soldiers threw my grandmother out a window, The soldiers, they set up roadblocks. They stop anybody trying to drive past, and they take all their money. I see people walking down the street in broad daylight who are attacked by criminals. Men with knives, sticks, my mind has been dead to the world. Please, God, let streets are very bad. There is so hatred. If I could get just a little could try to leave. But 1 must money for food. There is no g to buy in the streets. There an tors. I am still young. I don get sick and starve. I don't w killed by the police. Please. me. Shango, Ogun, Ifa, pre don't want to die. I have to here. a me leave this place. I have no hope for my country. I see it in the glassy-eyed stares of the people on the street. We have nothing. We have been ruled by fat generals who promise elections but steal all the money from the people.
