SOCIETY

Under civil law, Nigeria recognizes civil unions. In many northern states, the man can get how many wives he could sustain. The problem is that the southern states are composed of mostly Christians and the Christian religions don’t allow this practice.

Despite the criticism from the Christian religion leaders, legally the Christians people can get polygamous unions.

ECONOMY

The Nigerian economy has overdependence on the capital-intensive oil sector, in turn, greatly hampered by political instability, corruption, and poor macroeconomic management, is currently undergoing a substantial economic reform after the restoration of democracy in 1999. The agricultural sector in most subsistence could not keep up with rapid population growth, and Nigeria, once a large net exporter of food, now imports some of its food products

EDUCATION

There were fundamentally distinct education systems in Nigeria in 1990: The indigenous system, Quranic schools, and formal European-style education institutions.

Islamic education was part of religion duty.

Muslim education was delivered informally under the tutelage of mallams or ulama.

Western-style education came to Nigeria, with the missionaries from Europe in the mid-nineteen century.

The teaching of English language, which was the language of education beyond the primary school, had reached so poor levels that teachers of university faculty don’t understand the writings of his students.
