Many has been said and written about Nigeria, her people and culture, economy and politics, that sheds light on the tremendous potential of this African Giant. History of the Nigerian people extends backward in time for some three millennia, and it is instructive to know that, virtually all the native races of Africa are represented in Nigeria, hence the great diversity of her people and the culture. Historic sites nestled amid rivers and rain forests. Acheological evidence, oral traditions, and written documentation establish the existence of dynamic societies and well-developed political systems whose history had an important influence on colonial rule and has continued to shape independent Nigeria. The country has the largest population of any country in Africa (150MILLION)? and the greatest diversity of cultures, way of life, cities and terrain.
WARNINGS ABOUT NIGERIA: When you get an offer that is too generous, especially cash related, becareful. The Oil and Gas sector is very volatile be straight by going through the proper channels. Especially the up stream sector. If you must do business, do it first, with genuine intentions. Don't be greedy, by looking for excessive profits. Once it looks like you have to break rules, or beat the system, don't do it. Go through the Economics desk of a Nigerian Embasy in your country, or better go through the Ministry of Commerce and Industries. This is not perculiar to Nigeria, always do the right things where ever you go! |
The People, the Culture There are several dominant themes in Nigerian history that are essential in understanding contemporary Nigerian politics and society. However, this may lie somewhere beyond the scope of this page. I would only urge visitors to go and see things for themselves. The uniqueness of Nigeria, is inherrent in the people of this Nation State.Toyin." ORIGIN MYTH |

Doing bussiness in Nigeria There are over 2000 industrial establishments in the country presently. Among these are a giant oil industry, iron and steel complexes, steel rolling mills, pharmaceutical industries, food processing, car assembling and the Export Processing Zone (EPZ). Government economic policy favours and places priority on greater investment in agricultural production and agro-processing industries, manufacturing and export production. The economy offers low costs of production, abundantly skilled and versatile human resources and access to a vast local market of over 130 million people and beyond in the sub-region.
