LOS ANGELES, Oct. 5 (AP).

he was going to call on Duke

The North. predomnantly Mosem, bordering

home of the proud. tough Hausas $500 000) and
the Fulani and kanuri tribes.
Long backward and underdeveloped, it is the
preserve of powerful emrs sultans and other
traditional rulers, many of them magnifcently
built men, dominating IT, their robes, whose rule
Is absolute within their courts
Clingng to their pattern of medieval arstoc-
racy. dispensing their own brand Of Justice with
a flick of the finger or nod of the head these
potentates naturally wary of influences
which they believe will undermine their thrones.
The North for example alone among Nigerias
regions, refuses 10 give its women the vote
Thus, despite their ounumbering population
and their contempt for the tribes to the south
whom they consider inferior. the Northern rulers
at the same time suspicious and not little
concerned at the activities OF both Eastern and
Western regions. These two regions in turn are
constantly at oggerheads And thus all three
regions now embroiled in confused melee
to win the federal general elections scheduled for
later this year
In fact, although independence arrangements
are afoot, Nigeria today is more engrossed with
the impending elections, and perhaps with good
reason. For whichever region gains control of
the federal legislature will appoint the first fed
eral prime minister of independent Nigeria and
run the country for the first few years of IFS
sovereignty
One Northern organizer told me that his party

bakar Tafawa Balewa, currently federal Prime
Minister, and the East's DR.. Azikiwe who might
be in the running if his party can contrive some
deal with one of the others.
Mr. Balewa's holding of the post currently
is a compromise between the three regions for
he one of Nigeria's few politicians reason
ably acceptable to all. And with the North's vastly
outnumbering population, the post had almost
automatically to go to Northerner.
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1959-08-15

AwoloWo respectively the first prime minister Of
independent Nigeria.
A win for the North would not, however, nee
essarily bring the Northern regional Premier the
Sardauna of Sokoto, 600 miles south to Lagos,
TO become federal prime minister. The Sardauna
reputedly seeks to remain in the North and per-
haps ultimately to become Sultan of Sokoto, or
spiritual ruler of the North
There has been much speculation about the
Norths nominee for the federal prime minister
ship but high in the running is undoubtedly the
who currently holds the job for the last
months of British rule-Abubakar Tafawa
BaleWa. Mr. Baewa is an impressive Moslem who
reputedy took up his present task with some mis-
givngs but who now is deeply dedicated to it.
Solemn and serious, a product of the Norths
traditions but not necessarily bound by them,
Mr. Balewa is unshakable matters of princi-
pie and obviously is the favorte candidate of top
British officials in Nigeria.
There is also some speculation about the cur
rent federal Minister of Mines and Power, Alhaji
Muhammadu Ribadu who is Northerner hold
ing Lagos portfolio and who is said to be close
to the Sardauna.
However, if one traced all the political rumors
currently afoot in Lagos, one would surface with
an endless list of possible candidates. Thus the
best short list OF prospects at this time prob
ably is:
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1959-08-15

Each region. for example, maintains an official
press ana information department in addition to
that of the federal authority. Some of these have
s established representatives overseas. so that a
Journalist in foreign capital might come into
contact with more information agencies
presenting various aspects of the Nigeran picture.
This duplication also applies TO some other de-
partmentS.
Till now politics in Nigeria have been fought
on largely regional basis and the federal legis-
lature has been something of weak spot. With
the removal OF British influence, however, the
federal legislature will become vastly more i'm
portant and there now is widespread recognition
that whoever controls the legislature will also
control the country.
The Northern Region contains by far the big
gest population. its l9 100000 ounumberng the
populations of the two other regions combined.
The Eastern population numbers about 100000,
the Western 100000, Nigerias overall popula-
ton of 100000 is completed by further 1.00O
