	History of Nigeria
		In the south central part of present-day Nigeria, as early as the 15th and 16th centuries, the kingdom of Benin had developed an efficient army; an elaborate ceremonial court; and artisans whose works in ivory, wood, bronze, and brass are prized throughout the world today.
		Nigeria was granted full independence in October 1960, as a federation of three regions (northern, western, and eastern) under a constitution that provided for a parliamentary form of government.
		From the outset, Nigeria's ethnic, regional, and religious tensions were magnified by the significant disparities in economic and educational development between the south and the north.

		Even though they continue to work and make sacrifices, a tiny set of rulers preside over the fruits of their labour, turning the state into an instrument for amassing and preserving their manifold fortunes, much of which is acquired illegally and criminally.

		This is why the leadership of Congress is working on the idea of having peace rallies all over the country to expose the ruling class machination in all the disturbances and encourage our people to recognise the commonality of their interests.

		Along with the endemic malaise of Nigeria's non-oil sectors, the economy continues to witness massive growth of "informal sector" economic activities, estimated by some to be as high as 75% of the total economy.
		Although the trade balance overwhelmingly favors Nigeria, thanks to oil exports, a large portion of U.S. exports to Nigeria is believed to enter the country outside of the Nigerian Government's official statistics, due to importers seeking to avoid Nigeria's excessive tariffs.
		Nigeria also has taken the lead in articulating the views of developing nations on the need for modification of the existing international economic order.

		It was a mild drama at the presidential villa Abuja Monday, as the president of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) Adams Oshiomhole was apparently lured into the State House with the hope that the Federal Government was ready to dialogue with the labour leadership over the strike action which commenced nationwide Monday.
		The NLC president who arrived at the council chambers of the presidential villa at 12.36pm with the members of his entourage, after passing a thorough security screening, waited patiently for the supposed stakeholders’ meeting, he was reportedly deceived to believe was the reason for his invitation to Aso Rock.
		It was therefore quite late for the NLC President to show any protest verbally, as this coincided with the announcement of the arrival of President Olusegun Obasanjo to the council chambers.
