	President - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A common presidential symbol is the presidential sashes worn by Latin American presidents as a symbol of the presidency's continuity, and presenting the sash to the new president is a key part of the inauguration ceremony.
		President can also be the title of the chief executive at a lower administrative level, such as the parish presidents of the parishes of the U.S. state of Louisiana or the municipal presidents of Mexico's municipalities.
		In French legal terminology, the president of a court consisting of multiple judges is the foremost judge; he chairs the meeting of the court and directs the debates (and this thus addressed as "Mr President", Monsieur le Président, or appropriate feminine forms).

	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.

	PRESS CONFERENCE BY PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA
		Nigeria would contribute up to $10 million to the Global AIDS and Health Fund proposed by Secretary-General Kofi Annan, President Olusegun Obasanjo of that country said at a Headquarters press conference this afternoon.
		President Obasanjo replied that the campaign was going fairly well and that people were increasingly aware. A survey would probably be needed to determine the real situation, but the message was sinking in, according to reports.
		Regarding the infection rate, the President said only an oracle could say when it would decline and stabilize. But if the campaign continued in the same way, it should be possible to stop the infection spreading, which was the first priority. Once that was done, the task of reversing the epidemic could begin, he added.

	Nigeriaworld Feature Article (Igbo candidate for president of Nigeria in 2003)
		The Igbo people gave Nigeria her first military head of state in the person of General Aguiyi-Ironsi, under whose government the currently practiced 'Centralized Government' was introduced -- the infamous 'Decree 34.' He consequently lost his life for the misunderstanding of the edict that is time-tested and still works today.
		Nigeria is practicing the same thing except that the President is retired from active military commission.
		And if as he suggests that to lobby IBB to come out of retirement and contest for the presidency of Nigeria with an Igbo vice-president is insulting to Ndiigbo and at the same time wrong, then he is out of touch of what is happening in Nigeria today.

		He went on to assure those that are against a third term for the President of his utmost support; in fact, the VP told his audience in Abuja on that fateful day that "90% of Nigerians are against this agenda (third term)".
		This is a warning signal to President Obasanjo that if his deputy plans to "modify many" of his economic and social reforms- which are being applauded all over the world- should he succeed him, then he must do something novel to preserve them.
		The only way for Atiku to become Nigeria's President is to ensure that not only is the third term bid put on the skids, but also that the immunity clause remains in place.

		The problem of Nigeria are the Nigerians with the pen that is abused, the tongue that curses Nigeria, the intelligence that is misapplied, the opportunities that are wasted, and the law that is selective and abused with impunity.
		Those who seek to be the President of Nigeria in 2007 and are now using sectional sentiments to incite all sorts of destabilizing reactions from the unsuspecting public do not care for the welfare of the people-not even those from their villages.
		The President is not as democratic by a long shot as he is dictatorial and it is laughable to suggest that government money is not being deployed for causes that suit the interests of those in office today.

		This trip to Africa is meaningful for a number of reasons – to emphasize the new President’s commitment to Africa, to carry forward the momentum of the G-8 Finance Ministers’ agreement on debt, and in anticipation of the Gleneagles Summit to follow.
		As the visit to Nigeria progressed, though, it became clear that this first trip to Sub-Saharan Africa by Paul Wolfowitz is also a means to introduce himself to the real clients that the Bank Group serves.

	gender disparity in educational attainm nigeria lovent has been a worrisome development
		President Olusegun Obasanjo yesterday pledged the full support of his administration to the private sector but warned that the new found love between the public and private sectors should not be misconstrued to mean that the economy of Nigeria was now completely in the hands of the private sector.
		Since the advent of democracy in Nigeria, there has been a sustained advocacy on the need to close the gap, especially against the background that less developed countries of Africa have come close to eradicating the imbalance.
		The origin of the disparity in the education status of men and women in Nigeria is traceable to the opportunity available to both sexes to acquire western education at the initial stage.
