MEDrOBB, OREGON SUNDAY, MAY 13. 1982 g J irst Census in Decade Starts Today in Africa's Largest Nation iTIDFttTi .nnKi ... al .......... . .... 0By LAURENCE MEREDITH United Presi International Nigeria is the awakening giant of Africa, by far the largest nation in the Dark Continent. With its first cen sus in a decade starting today, Nigeria is setting out to learn just how big it is, and to take stock of its human assets. Official forecasts are that the census will count some 40 million people. But this first census since Nigeria Rained its independence from Britain on Oct. 1, 1960, will count more than noses. It will check age and ethnic groups and request information on the occupation, religion, edu cation level of literacy of each citizen. The job will take 45.000 workers three weeks. When the results are in Nigeria should know not only how many people ft has, but who they are and what they can do. A Mammoth Task It will be a mammoth task, embracing every little vil lage from the deserts of the north to the tropical jungles of the Nigerian coast. Nigeria is the giant of old Africa as well as the new. By comparison Egypt has 26 million persons, Ghana 6.7 million and The Congo, roughly 13.8 million. The country's size alone has placed Nigeria quickly in the race for leadership in Afri ca. It has the resources not only of manpower but of na ture that most of its neighbors envy and some of them frank ly fear. Nigeria's progress to inde pendence within the British Commonwealth was orderly: Its transition was peaceful in sharp contrast to events in the Congo and in other areas of Africa where birth pains have given rise to vi olence, irresolution and con fusion. Independence came after a century and a half of British influence. Nigeria was particularly fortunate in its colonial his tory. The British found groups of Africans with ancient and highly developed cultures, and the standard of colonial administrators sent out by Britain was particularly high. Local government was dele gated to emirs and chiefs over a wide area and educat ed Africans were encouraged to enter government work. Thus when independence arrived there was in Nigeria a small but highly trained civil service, plus the tradi- Facsimile of the Primary Ballot Published Pursuant to Provisions of ORS 249-356 SAMPLE BALLOT STUB To be lorn off by the Cha'rmai OFFICIAL MEASURES BALLOT 67 A OAK GROVE PRECINCT JACKSON COUNTY, OREGON .At the Special Election to be held on the 18th of May A.D., 1962 Make A Cross (X) or a Check Mark (V) Inside the Voting Square for the Answer Voted For Referred to the People by the Legislative Assembly SIX PER CENT LIMITATION AMENDMENT Purpose: Revises constitutional 1 provision governing 6 percent limitation.

(l uonai rulers who still cx- erted an influence over local government and had not lost touch with the people. Largely Moslem ! In the north, the doduI tion was largely Moslem, in the eastern and western re gions of the south, predomi nantly Christian. Tribal tensions could have made Nigeria another Congo ; oui me ttrmsn turned over power to trained African nanas and lo a people in grained with a belief in the traditional authority of their leaders. Nigeria had the major ad vantage of starting its inde pendent life two years ago politically unified, although it has no common language, no common religion and no com mon past. It is a land of 250 tribes with almost as many lan guages and dialects. Under the new federation, the three semi - autonomous regions of the north, east and west are tied together. After 60 years of colonial rule, English was the lingua franca amongst the educated. Yoruba are Townsmen The Yoruba tribes of the western region are the towns men, builders of cilies and cocoa farmers. In the eastern region live the Ibos in hundreds of lit tle villages without chiefs but ruled by democratic councils of elders. They are Nigeria's most energetic and individual istic people: oil-palm farmers, traders, and successful busi nessmen. In the north there is quite another civilization based on the great deserts and looking lo Mecca rather than to Ox ford and Cambridge for in spiration. Their society is Feudal, ruled by Moslem emirs of the Fulani tribe. Most Powerful Region Numerically the north Is the most powerful region, with nearly 60 per cent of the population. The last cen sus showed it contained 16.8 million people: The west 6.4 million and the eastern region 8 million. In the two years Nigeria has been independent, these regional rivalries have para doxically been one of the main guarantees of the coun try's continuing democracy. The federal parialment In the capital city of Lagos is one of the few in all Africa with a functioning opposition party. Sir Abubakar Tafewa Belc- i wa, the federal prime minis ter, dominates the Nigerian I scene. , Speaks in Moderation Sir Abubakar s public man ner is to make himself as in conspicuous as possible. His soft and persuasive voice sneaks always in moderation. He was once labelled a turtle-dove amongst falcons." As a deeply religious Mos lem, reticence, contemplation and modesty are the central part of his personality. He is no demagogue and has little sympathy with the methods of Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana or Guinea's Sekou Toure. In fact he has split openly with Nkrumah on the Ghana pres ident's dream of a United States of Africa. He has con demned the violent anti- co lonialist speeches of many Af rican leaders. By these actions, Balewa seems to have established firmly his credentials as a leader nf emergent indepen dent Africa.

With its first census in a decade starting today, Nigeria is setting out to learn just how big it is. (UP1) What are you doing this summer mately 15 per cent of the gross national product in pri marily "productive" sectors of the economy. Foreign Aid Plan Foreign aid for the plans is expected to provide $949.2 million or half the planned expenditure. From domestic sources, $752.2 million of capital is expected. The two outstanding and most exciting projects in the six-year plan are the Niger Dam Development and the education program. The Niger Dam, estimated lo cost $190.68 million, should come into operation during the plan period. It is planned initially to build a dam, power sta tion and locks across the Ni ger at Kainji, 600 miles from the river's mouth. The educa tion program is planned to provide trained manpower to run the country. Some 29 million pounds sterling ($81.2 j million) has been allocated for the bold education scheme. A start on the education program already has oeen marie with the foundation of three major universities in the eastern, western and northern regions to supple ment the existing university college at Ibadan. A fourth new university will be opened soon in the federal district of Lagos. By 1970 Nigeria hopes lo have between 2,000 and 3,000 graduates a year from these five universities and from students sent abroad for their degrees. Another 5,000 tech nicians of all kinds are ex pected to be merging annual ly from new technical insti tutes. A 60 per cent increase in secondary school is plan ned by 1970. Britain has already started the education ball rolling wilh an outright gift of $14 appearance before the United i million. July and August school holi days the British board of ed ucation flew out 55 British specialist instructors to Ni geria to give refresher cours es to Nigerian teachers. In February this year Bri tain asked for more volun teers and in less than a month 2,000 applications had been received. They will arrive in July. In the midst of all this ex citement and activity of an emerging nation the figure of Sir Abubakar sits wrapped in his mountainous white robe, holding a tight rein on all the huge expenditure. If the six-year plan is a suc cess, the federation will be further cemented and Nigeria will be a dominant force in Africa. y.-- -aSl ti'i I V'vOi Why not have some fun the Volkswagen way?
