Ibn Battuta’s remarks of his travels say a great deal about his own culture and norms. Almost every place he travels to he brings up women and how they are treated, as well as what their status is in that society. He is also very amused with the décor of the buildings in terms of gold and silver decorations.

The Chad-Cameroon Oil Pipeline Project was a little known project funded by the World Bank. The World Bank worked with Chadian President Idriss Deby and corporations such as Exxon and Chevron to build an oil pipeline from Chad's Doba basin to Cameroon's Atlantic port city of Kirbi in Central Africa. The project was funded by the World Bank in order to bring wealth to the country, reduce poverty, and improve governance. Unfortunately, these ideals did not even come close to seeing the light. Instead

Final TNC paper Oil production in Nigeria’s Niger Delta began in 1956. Ever since then, the Delta communities have recognized unrest as oil was being distributed in profitable quantities. Oil has been Nigeria’s leading export product for more than six decades.

Sordum Deeyaa ENG 1020 Ms. Campbell 29 November 2016 Research Paper Justice Through Environmental Cleanup I belong to a proud people called the Ogoni people. The Ogoni people are a minority tribe that’s in the Southeast of Nigeria and they happen to own most of the vast oil reserves in Nigeria. Why does this matter you ask?

The Bantu migration is the dispersal of the Bantu people from the region of Cameroon and the Congo area. The word “Bantu” does not refer to the people of the African expansion, but rather the African languages belonging to the people in the Niger Congo. Cultural influences that occurred, due to the migration of the Bantu people, laid out the foundation for other Sub-Saharan societies. Historians have used the collective information found by archeologists and other historians in order to draw conclusions

Sorcery Among the Songhay of the Republic of Niger in Africa The text In Sorcery's Shadow by Paul Stoller and Cheryl Olkes tells the study of two anthropologists and their work exploring sorcery within the Songhay people inside the Republic of Niger in Africa.

Some of the key components of the Pan African model of health revolve around the way that they explain illness. While it's true that disease
