The
World of Northern Nigerian Women
The weather is chilly but the bumpy road to Kurami in the remote
northern Nigerian district of Funtua is so sandy that the reporter
and his rider arrive on the motorbike dust-caked. To arrive here,
you have to travel over 600 kilometres from Abuja, the Nigerian capital
to Funtua, in northwestern Nigeria and then pick a bus to Tulfa from
where no vehicle is willing to dare the decrepit road to Kurami. It’s
getting close to 7 p.m. and the whole village is in some panic. |

Oily
Matters

is a curse rather than a blessing. Amid the grandiose landscape
of flashy skyscrapers, sleek cars, swashbuckling politicians and
businessmen in sharp pinstripe suits, poverty and irony pervade
the land like a plague. The poorest sections of Nigeria are the
villages from whose land the crude oil and natural gas come.
