Nigeria

**Naijeriya**, mwalamulo ***Wupu wa Charu cha Nigeria***, ntcharu icho chili ku West Africa. Charu ichi chili pakati pa nyanja ya Sahel kumpoto na Gulf of Guinea kumwera. Charu ichi chili na malo ghakukwana 923,769 square kilometres (356,669 sq mi), ndipo chili na ŵanthu ŵakujumpha 230 million. Charu cha Nigeria chili kumpoto na Niger, kumpoto na kumafumiro gha dazi na Chad, kumafumiro gha dazi na Cameroon, ndipo kumanjiliro gha dazi na Benin. Charu cha Nigeria chili na vigaŵa 36 na chigaŵa cha Federal Capital Territory. Msumba ukuru comene wa ku Nigeria ni Lagos, uwo ni msumba ukuru comene pa caru cose ndiposo waciŵiri mu Africa.

Ku Nigeria kukaŵa vyaru vinandi ivyo vikaŵako pambere charu chindambe kuwusa. Boma la mazuŵa ghano ili likaŵako mu vyaka vya m'ma 1800 apo Britain likakolerana na charu cha Nigeria. Ŵanalume ŵa ku Britain ŵakambiska maboma gha ku Nigeria ndipo ŵakamba kulamulira mwauryarya.Pa Okutobala 1, 1960, charu cha Nigeria chikaŵa paubwezi. Kufuma mu 1967 m'paka mu 1970, charu ichi chikaŵa na nkhondo ya pawenenawene. Chisankho cha 2015 chikaŵa chakwamba kuti purezidenti uyo walipo watondeke kuwuskika.

Ku Nigeria kuli mitundu yakupambanapambana, ndipo kuli mafuko ghakujumpha 250.Mtundu ukuru chomene ni wa Hausa kumpoto, Yoruba kumanjiliro gha dazi, na Igbo kumafumiro gha dazi. Chiyowoyero cha boma ni Cingelezi, ico cikusoleka kuti paŵe umoza wa viyowoyero pa caru cose. Dango la Nigeria likupeleka wanangwa wa kusopa, ndipo mu charu ichi ndimo muli Ŵasilamu na Ŵakhristu ŵanandi. Charu cha Nigeria chili kugaŵika pakati pa Ŵasilamu awo ŵakukhala kumpoto na Ŵakhristu awo ŵakukhala kumwera.

Nigeria ni boma la ku Africa ndipo lili na mazaza ghapakati na ghapachanya pa nkhani za caru cose. Charu cha Nigeria chili na chuma chikuru chomene mu Africa, ndipo ni cha nambara 31 pa charu chose. Boma la Nigeria likucemeka kuti Giant of Africa cifukwa ca unandi wa ŵanthu na cuma cake. Ndipouli, charu ichi chili pasi chomene pa vyaru ivyo vili na vimbundi chomene pa charu chose. Nigeria ni chalo icho chili kukhazikiska African Union ndipo chili mu wupu wa United Nations, Commonwealth of Nations, NAM, Economic Community of West African States, Organisation of Islamic Cooperation na OPEC. Kweniso nchigaŵa ca MINT, ndipo nchimoza mwa vyaru 11 ivyo vikulondezgapo.

## Kwiza kwa zina

Zina lakuti Nigeria lili kufuma ku zina la Mlonga wa Niger. Zina ili likapangika pa Janyuwale 8, 1897, na mulembi wa nyuzipepara wa ku Britain, Flora Shaw. Charu cha Niger icho chili pafupi na charu ichi, chili na zina ili. Zina lakuti Niger, ilo pakwamba likang'anamuranga chigaŵa chapakati pera cha Mlonga wa Niger, likamanyikwa makora yayi. Lizgu ili likwenera kuti lili kufuma ku lizgu lakuti egerew n-igerewen ilo ŵanthu ŵa ku Tuareg ŵakagwiliskiranga ntchito mu chigaŵa chapakati cha mlonga uwo ukazingilizga Timbuktu pambere ŵandambe kulamulira charu cha Europe mu vyaka vya m'ma 1800.

## Mbili

### Mbili yakale (pambere 1500)

Ku Kainji, ŵanthu ŵakagwiranga ntchito ya kupanga visulo m'ma 2 B.C.E. Mu nyengo ya Neolithic kukafika mu nyengo ya Iron Age, ŵanthu ŵakagwiliskiranga ntchito mkuŵa yayi. Ŵanyake ŵakugomezga kuti sayansi iyi yikamba kumanjiliro gha dazi kufuma ku Dambo la Nayelo, nangauli nyengo ya Iron Age mu dambo la Mlonga wa Niger na mu nkhorongo zikuwoneka kuti yikaŵa vyaka vyakujumpha 800 pambere ŵandambe kupanga visulo mu chipalamba.

Ŵanthu ŵa mtundu wa Nok ku Nigeria ŵakakhalanga pakati pa 1500 B.C.E. na 200 C.E. Mu malo agha mukaŵa vithuzithuzi vyakutowa chomene ivyo ŵanthu ŵakavipanganga ku Africandipo wakawotcha visulo mu 550 B.C. panji vyaka vinandi kumasinda.Ukaboni wa kusongonora visulo ukusangikaso ku malo ghanyake mu chigaŵa cha Nsukka kumwera cha kumafumiro gha dazi kwa Nigeria.

Buku la Kano Chronicle likulongosora mbiri yakale ya tawuni ya Kano iyo yikaŵa mu chigaŵa cha Hausa Sahelian, m'ma 999, kweniso misumba yinyake yikuru ya Hausa (panji Hausa Bakwai) ya Daura, Hadeija, Kano, Katsina, Zazzau, Rano, na Gobir. Apo chisopa cha Chisilamu chikamba kuthandazgika mu vyaka vya m'ma 700 C.E., chigaŵa ichi chikachemekanga kuti Sudan panji Bilad Al Sudan. Pakuti ŵanthu aŵa ŵakakhalanga ku chigaŵa cha kumpoto kwa Africa, ŵakamba kuchita malonda mu charu cha Sahara, ndipo awo ŵakayowoyanga Chiarabu ŵakaŵachemanga kuti Al-Sudan (kung'anamura "Ŵachikuda"). Ŵasayansi ŵa mdauko wa Ŵarabu na Ŵasilamu ŵakuyowoyapo vya ufumu wa Kanem-Bornu.

Ufumu wa Nri wa ŵanthu ŵa ku Igbo ukakhazikika mu vyaka vya m'ma 1000 ndipo ukalutilira m'paka apo ukafwira mu mawoko gha Ŵanung'una mu 1911. Nri wakawusikanga na Eze Nri, ndipo msumba wa Nri ndiwo ukuwoneka kuti ndiwo ukaŵa wakwamba wa ŵanthu ŵa mtundu wa Igbo. Nri na Aguleri, uko kuli nthano ya kulenga ya Ŵaigbo, ni vigaŵa vya fuko la Umeuri. Ŵanthu ŵa mu mbumba iyi ŵali kufuma ku fuko la Eri. Mu vyaru vya kumanjiliro gha dazi kwa Africa, vinthu vyakale chomene ivyo ŵakavipanganga na minofu vikafuma ku Igbo-Ukwu, msumba uwo ukaŵa pasi pa mazaza gha Nri.

Ufumu wa Yoruba wa Ife na Oyo, uwo ukaŵa kumwera kwa Nigeria, ukaŵa wankhongono comene mu vyaka vya m'ma 1200 na 1400. Vinthu vyakale chomene ivyo vikulongora kuti ŵanthu ŵakakhalanga mu msumba wa Ife ni vya m'ma 900 C.E. Vinthu ivi ni vithuzithuzi vya terracotta na vya mkuŵa.

### Nyengo iyo ŵanthu ŵakakhalanga mu vyaru vinyake pambere ŵandambe kuwusa  (1500–1850)

Mu vyaka vya m'ma 1500 C.E., ŵanthu ŵa ku Portugal ndiwo ŵakamba kuchita malonda na ŵanthu ŵa kumwera kwa Nigeria. Ŵanthu ŵa ku Europe ŵakaguliskanga vinthu na ŵanthu ŵa mumphepete mwa nyanja.Ku Calabar uko kukaŵa dowoko la ku Biafra (uko sono kukuchemeka Bonny) ndiko kukaŵa malo ghakurughakuru ghakuguliskako ŵazga ku West Africa. Maboti ghanyake ghakurughakuru agho ŵakagwiliskiranga nchito ŵazga ku Nigeria ghakaŵa ku Badagry, Lagos, Benin, na Bonny Island, ku Biafra. Ŵanandi awo ŵakatolekera ku malo agha ŵakaŵa ŵazga. Kanandi ŵanthu aŵa ŵakaŵatoranga na kuluta nawo ku malo agho ŵakakhalanga. Ŵanthu ŵakendanga mu misewu ya ŵazga mu charu chose cha Nigeria. Maufumu ghanyake agho ghakatemwanga chomene kuguliska ŵazga agho ghakachitanga malonda agha ghakakolerananga na Ufumu wa Benin wa ku Edo kumwera, Ufumu wa Oyo kumwera cha kumanjiliro gha dazi, na ufumu wa Aro kumwera kwa kumafumiro gha dazi. Boma la Benin likaŵa na mazaza pakati pa vyaka vya m'ma 1500 na 1900. Mu vyaka vya m'ma 1600 na m'ma 1800, boma la Oyo likaŵa pa malo ghapacanya comene.Kumpoto, nkhondo iyo yikaŵa pakati pa misumba ya Hausa na ufumu wa Bornu yikapangiska kuti Ŵafulani ŵanjire mu chigaŵa ichi. Kufika pa nyengo iyi, ŵanthu ŵa mtundu wa Fulani ŵakendanga mu chipalamba cha Saheli kumpoto kwa Sudan na viŵeto vyawo. Kukwambilira kwa vyaka vya m'ma 1800, Usman dan Fodio wakadangilira nkhondo yakususkana na maufumu gha Hausa. Ufumu uwu, uwo chiyowoyero chake chikaŵa Chiarabic, ukakura mwaluŵiro apo iyo na mphapu yake ŵakalongozganga.

Ufumu uwu ukakolerananga kumafumiro gha dazi na kumanjiliro gha dazi kwa charu cha Sudan, ndipo ukambukira kumwera na kuthereska vigaŵa vinyake vya Ufumu wa Oyo (uno ni Kwara). Chigaŵa icho ufumu uwu ukalamuliranga chikaŵa kumpoto na pakati pa Nigeria. Fumu yikatumanga mafumu kuti ghazakalamulire vigaŵa ivyo yikapoka na kukhozgera chisopa cha Cisilamu. Kuzakafika mu ma 1890, ŵazga ŵanandi comene pa caru, pafupifupi mamiliyoni ghaŵiri, ŵakaŵa mu vigaŵa vya ufumu wa Sokoto. Ŵanthu ŵakagwiliskiranga ntchito ŵazga, chomenechomene pa ulimi. Mu 1903, ufumu wa Sokoto ukagaŵikana mu vyaru vyakupambanapambana vya ku Europe.

Chifukwa cha kusintha kwa malango (kukanizgika kwa malonda gha ŵazga mu nyanja ya Atlantic mu 1807) kweniso chifukwa cha suzgo la vyachuma (kukhumba kuti vinthu visinthe pa ndyali na pa umoyo wa ŵanthu), ŵamazaza ŵanandi ŵa ku Europe ŵakamba kulima chomene vyakurya nga ni makuni gha maolive. Makampani gha ku Europe ghakagwiranga nchito ya kuguliska ŵazga mu nyanja ya Atlantic m'paka mu 1807 apo boma la Britain likakanizga. Para boma lakanizga kuguliska ŵazga, ŵanthu ŵakalutilira kuguliska ŵazga. Gulu la ŵasilikari ŵa ku Britain la ku West Africa likakhumbanga kukora ŵanthu awo ŵakaguliskanga vinthu mu nyanja. Ŵazga awo ŵakaponoskeka ŵakaŵatolera ku Freetown, malo agho ghakaŵa ku West Africa, agho Litanenti John Clarkson ndiyo wakazenga.

### Ukoloni wa Britain (1850-1960)

Boma la Britain likachitapo kanthu pa nkhondo ya ufumu wa Lagos mwa kuwukira boma la Lagos mu 1851, kuwuskapo Oba Kosoko uyo wakatemwanga chomene malonda gha ŵazga, kovwira kuti ŵaŵe na boma la Oba Akitoye na kusazga phangano pakati pa Britain na Lagos pa 1 January 1852. Mu Ogasiti 1861, boma la Britain likapoka msumba wa Lagos kuŵa wake. Ŵamishonale ŵa ku Britain ŵakasazgirako uteŵeti wawo ndipo ŵakalutanga ku vyaru vinyake. Mu 1864, Samuel Ajayi Crowther wakaŵa bishopu wakwamba wa ku Africa wa mpingo wa Anglican.

Mu 1885, pa ungano uwo ukachitikira ku Berlin, ŵamitundu ŵanyake ŵa ku Europe ŵakamanya kuti Britain njumoza wa vyaru ivyo vili na mazaza ku West Africa. Chaka chakulondezgapo, likapeleka katundu wake ku kampani yinyake yakuchemeka Royal Niger Company, iyo yikalongozgekanga na Sir George Taubman Goldie. Kuumaliro wa vyaka vya m'ma 1800 na kukwambilira kwa vyaka vya m'ma 1900, kampani iyi yikatonda kuthereska maufumu gha kumwera agho ghakaŵa ku chigaŵa cha Mlonga wa Niger. Boma la Britain likamba kulamulira chigaŵa cha Niger chifukwa cha kuthereskeka kwa maboma agha. Mu 1900, boma la Britain likamba kulamulira chigaŵa ichi ndipo likakhazikiska boma la Southern Nigeria Protectorate.

Kuzakafika mu 1902, ŵasilikari ŵa ku Britain ŵakamba kunozgekera kuti ŵalute kumpoto ku Sokoto. Ofesi ya Colonial Office yikapeleka mulimo kwa mulara wa ŵasilikari ŵa Britain, Frederick Lugard, kuti wafiske ivyo ŵakakhumbanga. Lugard wakagwiliskira nchito mphindano pakati pa ma emirs ghanandi agho ghakaŵa kumwera kwa caliphate na boma la Sokoto kuti waleke kuvikilira msumba uwu. Apo ŵasilikari ŵa Britain ŵakasendeleranga ku msumba wa Sokoto, Sultan Muhammadu Attahiru I wakanozga vyakuti ŵasilikari ŵa boma la Britain ŵavikilire msumba uwu. Mwaluŵiro ŵasilikari ŵa Britain ŵakathereska ŵasilikari aŵa, ndipo ŵakatuma Attahiru I na ŵalondezgi ŵake ŵanandi kuti ŵakambe ulendo wa ku Mahdist. Ku chigaŵa cha kumpoto na kumafumiro gha dazi, ufumu wa Bornu ukamara ndipo ufumu wa Borno uwo ukaŵa pasi pa Britain ukamba kulamulira.Mu 1903, Ŵabritishi ŵati ŵathereska nkhondo ya ku Kano, ŵakaŵawovwira kuti ŵathereske ŵanthu ŵa mu ufumu wa Sokoto na vigaŵa vinyake vya ufumu wa Bornu. Pa Malichi 13, 1903, pa msika ukuru wa Sokoto, mulara waumaliro wa ufumu wa Caliphate wakazomera kuwusika na Britain. Ŵanalume ŵa ku Britain ŵakimika Muhammadu Attahiru II kuŵa kalifa. Lugard wakawuskapo ufumu wa Caliphate kweni wakasungilira zina lakuti sultan. Cinthu ici cikacemeka "Sokoto Sultanate Council". Mu Juni 1903, ŵasilikari ŵa Britain ŵakathereska ŵasilikari ŵa Attahiru. Kuzakafika mu 1906, ŵanthu ŵakaleka kuwukira boma la Britain. Pa Janyuwale 1, 1914, ŵa ku Britain ŵakakolerana na boma la Southern Nigeria Protectorate na Northern Nigeria Protectorate. Nkhondo Yachiŵiri ya Caru Cose yikati yamara, ŵanthu ŵa ku Nigeria ŵakamba kutemwa caru cawo ndipo ŵakakhumbanga kuti ŵajiyimire ŵekha. Pakati pa vyaka vya m'ma 1900, ŵanthu ŵanandi mu Africa ŵakakhumbanga kuti charu chawo chiŵe na wanangwa.Ŵalongozgi ŵa visopa ŵakakhazikiska masukulu gha ku vyaru vya kumanjiliro gha dazi. Ku Britain, ŵanthu ŵakalondezganga yayi visambizgo vya Chisilamu, ndipo boma likakhozgeranga yayi kuti Ŵakhristu ŵambe kupharazga ku chigaŵa cha kumpoto kwa charu ichi. Ŵana ŵanyake ŵa ŵanthu ŵakufuma ku vyaru vya kumwera ŵakaluta ku Britain kuti ŵakasambire masambiro ghapacanya. Apo caru cikaŵa cakupatura wanangwa wake mu 1960, pakaŵa mphambano yikuru comene pakati pa vigaŵa ivyo visambizgo vikusangika. Nangauli ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵakuleka kupulikira, kweni ŵakulutilira kupulikira m'paka sono. Mu vyaru vinyake vya ku Nigeria, ŵanthu ŵakamanyanga yayi umo kumpoto na kumwera vikuŵira. Mwaciyelezgero, kumpoto kwa Nigeria, ŵazga ŵakazomerezgeka yayi m'paka mu 1936, apo mu vigaŵa vinyake vya Nigeria, ŵazga ŵakazomerezgeka yayi pamanyuma pa muwuso wa ŵazga.

### Repabuliki Yakwamba, Nkhondo ya Ŵeneco na Nkhondo za Boma (1960-1977)
Boma likalutilira kugaŵika mu vigaŵa viŵiri, kumpoto na kumwera, kweniso ku Lagos. Ŵanthu ŵa ku mizi ya kumwera ŵakakhalanga na ŵanthu ŵa ku Britain kweniso ŵa ku Europe chifukwa cha umo vinthu vikaŵira mumphepete mwa nyanja. 
Boma la Nigeria likamba kujilongozga lekha mu 1954, ndipo likamba kujiyimira palokha pa 1 Okutobala 1960. Mu Novembala 1960, Azikiwe wakanjira mu malo gha kazembe mukuru uyo wakaŵa mu koloni. Pa nyengo iyo boma la Nigeria likapokera wanangwa wake, ŵanthu ŵa mitundu yakupambanapambana mu Nigeria ŵakaŵa na mitheto yakupambana. Ndondomeko ya boma ya ku Westminster yikalutilira, ntheura mazaza gha pulezidenti ghakaŵa ghacilendo. Boma laparamende likaŵa na Abubakar Tafawa Balewa kuŵa nduna yikuru na Nnamdi Azikiwe kuŵa pulezidenti.

Boma ilo likambiska boma ili likaŵa la vipani vyakukolerana: Northern People's Congress ilo likalongozgekanga na Sir Ahmadu Bello, chipani icho chikaŵa na ŵanthu ŵa ku mpoto awo ŵakaŵa Ŵasilamu, na National Council of Nigeria na Cameroons, ivyo vikaŵa na ŵanthu ŵa ku Nigeria awo ŵakaŵa Ŵakhristu. Chipani ichi chikaŵa cha Action Group, icho chikaŵa na ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵa mtundu wa Yoruba. Mu 1961, pakaŵaso suzgo la ndyali. Ŵanthu ŵa ku Cameroon ŵakasankha kuti ŵanjire mu charu cha Cameroon apo ŵa ku Northern Cameroon ŵakasankha kuti ŵanjire mu charu cha Nigeria. Chigaŵa cha kumpoto kwa charu ichi chikaŵa chikuru kuluska cha kumwera.

Vinthu vikaŵa makora yayi pa nyengo ya maungano gha vyaru vyakupambanapambana. Nkhondo yakwamba yikacitika mu Janyuwale 1966 ndipo yikalongozgekanga na ŵasilikari awo ŵakalongozgekanga na Majors Emmanuel Ifeajuna (wa fuko la Igbo), Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu (wa kumpoto wa kumafumiro gha dazi) na Adewale Ademoyega (mu Yoruba wakufuma kumanjiliro gha dazi). Awo ŵakakhumbanga kupoka boma ŵakacita makora kukoma Sir Ahmadu Bello na Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa pamoza na ŵalongozgi ŵakumanyikwa ŵa Northern Region kweniso Prime Minister Samuel Akintola wa Western Region, kweni awo ŵakakhumbanga kupoka boma ŵakafwilirapo kuti ŵapange boma likuru. Pulezidenti wa Senate Nwafor Orizu wapeleka mazaza gha boma ku Army, pasi pa muwuso wa mulara munyake wa boma la Igbo, Major General Johnson Aguiyi-Ironsi. Pamasinda, boma likapoka mazaza gha ŵasilikari ŵa ku Northern, ndipo Yakubu Gowon wakaŵa mulongozgi wa ŵasilikari. Nkhondo yikakura pakati pa kumpoto na kumwera; Ŵaigbo mu misumba ya kumpoto ŵakatambuzgika ndipo ŵanandi ŵakachimbilira ku chigaŵa cha kumafumiro gha dazi.

Mu Meyi 1967, Kazembe wa chigaŵa cha kumafumiro gha dazi Lt. Colonel Emeka Ojukwu wakapharazga kuti chigaŵa ichi ntchakujiyimira pawekha kufuma ku wupu wa Biafra, nga ni boma lakucemeka Republic of Biafra, cifukwa ca kuwukira ŵanthu ŵa ku Igbos na awo ŵakafuma ku vigaŵa vya kumafumiro gha dazi. Phangano ili likapangiska kuti nkhondo ya ku Nigeria yambe, ndipo yikamba apo boma la Nigeria likapoka charu cha Biafra pa Julayi 6, 1967, ku Garkem. Nkhondo iyo yikatora myezi 30, yikaŵa ya nyengo yitali, ndipo yikaŵa kuti yindapangiske kuti Biafra yende makora, kweniso yikaŵa kuti yindapelekenge vinthu vyakukhumbikwa. Ŵanthu ŵanyake ŵakuti ŵanthu awo ŵakafwa mu chigaŵa icho kale chikaŵa kumafumiro gha dazi mu nyengo ya nkhondo iyi ŵakaŵa pakati pa 1 na 3 miliyoni. Ku France, Egypt, Soviet Union, Britain, Israel, na vyaru vinyake, nkhondo iyi yikacitika mwakubisika. Britain na Soviet Union ndiwo ŵakateŵeteranga boma la Nigeria. Boma la Congo, pasi pa muwuso wa pulezidenti Joseph-Désiré Mobutu, likambapo kale kulimbana na boma la Biafra, ndipo likapeleka wovwiri wakukwana ku boma la Nigeria na kutumizga ŵasilikari ŵanandi kuti ŵarwe na ŵasilikari aŵa.
Nkhondo yikati yamara, mu ma 1970, ku Nigeria kukaŵa kunotha kwa mafuta. Nangauli boma la ŵasilikari likaŵa na ndalama zinandi, kweni likawovwira yayi ŵanthu kuti ŵakhalenge makora, kovwira mabizinesi ghachoko na ghapakati, panji kupanga vinthu vinyake. Pakuti ndalama izo ŵakasanganga kufuma ku mafuta zikakhozga ndalama izo boma likapelekanga ku vyaru vinyake, boma likamba kuŵa na mazaza pa ndyali. Apo mafuta ghakaŵanga ghanandi, boma la Nigeria likamba kuthemba chomene mafuta na malonda gha vyakurya vyamtundu unyake.

Mu Julayi 1975, ŵasilikari ŵa Shehu Musa Yar'Adua na Joseph Garba ŵakawuskapo Gowon, uyo wakachimbilira ku Britain. Awo ŵakakhumbanga kuwukira boma ŵakakhumbanga kusintha muwuso wa Gowon na kuŵa na ŵasilikari ŵatatu. Ŵakaphalira Jenerale Murtala Muhammed kuti waŵe mulongozgi wa ŵasilikari, ndipo Jenerale Olusegun Obasanjo wakaŵa wachiŵiri kwa iyo, ndipo Jenerale Theophilus Danjuma wakaŵa wacitatu. Wose pamoza, ŵakawovwira kuti ndalama zileke kunjira mu boma, ŵakambiska wupu wakuwona vya vimbundi, ŵakawuskapo ŵalongozgi wose ŵa ŵasilikari na ŵasilikari ŵaphya, ndipo ŵakambiska "Operation Deadwood".

Colonel Buka Suka Dimka wakayezga kutimbanizga boma mu Febuluwale 1976, apo Jenerale Murtala Muhammed wakakomeka. Dimka wakaŵavya ŵanthu ŵanandi awo ŵakamovwiranga, ndipo boma lake likathera. Pamanyuma pa chiyezgo cha kuwukira boma, Jenerale Olusegun Obasanjo wakasankhika kuŵa mulongozgi wa boma. Pakuŵa mutu wa boma, Obasanjo wakalayizga kuti walutilirenge na ndondomeko ya Murtala. Pakumanya kuti ŵanthu ŵa kumpoto kwa Nigeria ŵangasuzgika, Obasanjo wakatora Jenerale Shehu Yar'Adua kuŵa mulongozgi wa ŵasilikari, ndipo wakaŵa wachiŵiri kwa iyo.

### Republic Yachiŵiri na kupoka boma (1977-1992)

Mu 1977, wupu wakulongozga ukaŵa na mulimo wa kulemba dango liphya, ilo likalembeka pa Seputembala 21, 1978. Ŵasilikari ŵakanozga mwakupwelelera kuti ŵambeso kulamulira ŵanthu. Mu 1979, vyaru vinkhondi vikathereskeka pa viphikiro ivyo Alhaji Shehu Shagari wa National Party of Nigeria (NPN) wakasankhika kuŵa pulezidenti. Maboma ghose ghankhondi agha ghakapika mazaza mu Nyumba ya Ufumu. Pa 1 Okutobala 1979, Shehu Shagari wakalapizga kuŵa purezidenti wakudanga na mulara wa ŵasilikari ŵa chalo cha Nigeria. Obasanjo wakapeleka mazaza kwa Shagari, ndipo wakaŵa munthu wakwamba mu mbiri ya Nigeria kuleka mazaza.

Boma la Shagari likamba kuwoneka kuti ndakuzura na vimbundi. Mu 1983, ŵalaŵiliri ŵa wupu wakuwona vya mafuta ku Nigeria ŵakamba kuwona kuti "maji gha mu caru ici ghakwamba kunangika". Mu Ogasiti 1983 Shagari na NPN ŵakawelera ku mazaza mu kuwina kwa charu chose, na vithuzithuzi vinandi mu National Assembly na kuwusa maboma gha vigaŵa 12. Kweni pa nyengo iyi kukaŵa vivulupi vinandi, ndipo ŵanthu ŵakamba kulimbana chifukwa cha ivyo vikachitika. Pakaŵaso vinthu vinyake ivyo vikaŵa vyambura kupulikikwa, nga umo vikaŵira mu nyengo ya boma la Republic lakwamba.

Nkhondo ya kuwukira boma ya ŵasilikari ya mu 1983 yikacitika pa Zuŵa la Caka Ciphya. Ŵalaraŵalara ŵa ŵasilikari ŵa ku Nigeria ndiwo ŵakalongozga kuti boma lipasuke na kwimika Mulara Mukuru Muhammadu Buhari kuŵa mulongozgi wa boma. Nkhondo ya boma ya Muhammadu Buhari pamanyuma pa kuwuskika kwa boma mu 1984 yikawonekanga kuŵa yiweme.

### Charu Chachitatu na kupoka boma (1992-1998)

Mu 1985, Ibrahim Babangida wakawuskapo Buhari mu boma. Mu 1986, Babangida wakambiska Nigerian Political Bureau iyo yikapeleka fundo zakwendeskera chalo ku Third Nigerian Republic. Mu 1989, Babangida wakamba kupanga mapulani gha kusintha chalo ku chalo cha Third Nigerian Republic. Babangida wakapona apo boma la Nigeria likayezga kutimbanizga boma mu 1990, ndipo wakalekera papo yayi kuti ŵanthu ŵawelere ku demokilase mu 1992.

Wakazomerezga kuti maboma gha vyaru viŵiri ghaŵepo, ndipo wakambiska ndondomeko ya vyaru viŵiri pamoza na Social Democratic Party na National Republican Convention pambere vyalo viŵiri ivi vindasankhike mu 1992. Wakachiska ŵanthu wose ŵa ku Nigeria kuti ŵanjire chipani chilichose, icho Mulara Bola Ige wakati ni "mawoko ghaŵiri gha wavyoni". Boma la vyaru viŵiri likaŵa fundo ya Political Bureau. Pamanyuma pa kupenda ŵanthu, wupu wa National Electoral Commission (NEC) ukati pa 24 January 1992, mavoti gha Ndondomeko iyi yikayowoya kuti munthu waliyose uyo wakukhumba kunjira usilikari wakeneranga kuzomera mauteŵeti ghose agho boma likukhumba.

Chiwerengero cha mavoti, ngakhale kuti sichikudziwika ndi National Electoral Commission, chikuwonetsa kuti a Moshood Abiola ndi Baba Gana Kingibe ochokera ku Social Democratic Party adagonjetsa Bashir Tofa ndi Sylvester Ugoh ochokera ku National Republican Convention ndi mavoti opitilira 2.3 miliyoni. Ndipouli, Babangida wakawuskapo mavoti, ndipo ivi vikapangiska kuti ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵambe kususka. Mu Ogasiti 1993, Babangida wakasunga layizgo lake lakuti wapelekenge mazaza ku boma la ŵanthu bweka, kweni pambere wandasankhe Ernest Shonekan kuŵa mulongozgi wa boma la kanyengo. Boma la Babangida likuwoneka kuti ndakuzura na vimbundi ndipo ndilo likupangiska vimbundi mu Nigeria.

Boma la Shonekan, ilo likaŵa la nyengo yifupi comene mu mdauko wa ndyali wa caru ici, likathereskeka mu 1993 na boma la Sani Abacha.

Mu 1995, boma likadumura kuti Ken Saro-Wiwa uyo wakumanya vya umoyo wa ŵanthu wakomeke pa mulandu wa kukoma ŵalara ŵanayi ŵa Ogoni. Milandu yakulimbana na Royal Dutch Shell na Brian Anderson, mulara wa kampani ya Shell ku Nigeria, yikamara mu khoti.Mu 1999, ŵakasanga ndalama zakukwana madola mamiliyoni ghanandi pa akaunti za Abacha. Mu 1998, muwuso wa boma ili ukamara apo muwusi uyu wakafwira mu nyumba iyi. Wakaba ndalama mu mabanki gha ku vyaru vya kumanjiliro gha dazi kwa Europe ndipo wakathereska awo ŵakakhumbanga kuti ŵamukome. Muwukirano wake, Jenerale Abdulsalami Abubakar, wakazomera dango liphya pa 5 Meyi 1999, ilo likapelekanga mavoti gha vyaru vinandi.

### Republic Yachinayi (1999-paka sono)

Dada Abacha wakafwa mu 1998 pa "phwando" linyake. Muhaliri wake, Abdulsalami Abubakar, wakazomera dango pa Meyi 5, 1999, ilo likalembeka vyaka 10 kumasinda.

Pa Meyi 29, 1999, Abubakar wakapeleka mazaza kwa uyo wakathereska pa chisankho cha 1999, General Olusegun Obasanjo. Obasanjo wakaŵa mu jere mu nyengo ya muwusi wa nkhaza Abacha. Kusankhika kwa Obasanjo kukapharazga kwamba kwa Repubulika lachinayi la Nigeria, ilo likukhalilira mpaka lero (2023). Ici cikamara vilimika 39 vya demokilase, kuwukira boma na kuwukira boma.

Ndondomeko ya malango gha boma ya mu 1999, iyo yili na vyaru vyakuyana waka 37, Nyumba ya Malamulo ya ku America iyo yili na ŵanthu ŵatatu kufuma ku chigaŵa chilichose, ndiposo vyaru 13 ivyo vili na ŵanthu ŵachoko waka pa chisankho cha pulezidenti, yikwenera kuwoneka nga yikaŵa yiwemi chomene chifukwa cha mitundu na visopa ivyo vikupambana mu charu ichi. Kufuma waka pa nyengo iyi, munthu waliyose uyo wakukhumba kuŵa pulezidenti wakuŵikapo mtima kuti waŵe mwimiliri wa mtundu wake pera yayi, kweniso wa ŵanthu wose ŵa ku Nigeria.

Nangauli mavoti agho ghakapeleka mazaza kwa Obasanjo na kumuzomerezga kuti wazakaŵepo kachiŵiri pa mavoti gha 2003 ghakaŵa ghambura wanangwa ndiposo ghambura urunji, kweni Nigeria yikasintha chomene vinthu mu nyengo ya Obasanjo. Fundo yakuti nyumba ya malango yikatondeska pulezidenti kuti waleke kuwusa kwa nyengo yacitatu nangauli wakaŵa na mazaza pa ŵasilikari na ŵasilikari, mbukaboni wakuti parliamentarism yikakhora comene mu Nigeria kwambira mu 2000.

Mu Okutobala 2005, Nigeria na ŵakukongozga ŵa Paris Club ŵakafika pa phangano lakuti Nigeria yigowokere ngongoli yake pa mtengo wa 60%. Boma la Nigeria likagwiliskira nchito ndalama zinyake izo likasanganga kufuma ku mafuta kuti lilipire ndalama zakukwana 40 peresenti. Mu Epulero 2006, charu cha Nigeria chikaŵa chakwamba ku Africa kulipira ngongoli yake ya madola mabiliyoni 30.

Pa mavoti gha mu 2007, Umaru Yar'Adua wa People's Democratic Party wakiza ku mazaza. Wupu wa vyaru vyakupambanapambana, uwo ukawoneleranga ivyo vikacitika pa maungano gha ku Nigeria kuti viwovwire kuti paŵe wanangwa na urunji, ukasuska maungano agha. Pulezidenti Olusegun Obasanjo uyo wafumapo wakazomera upusikizgi na "vinthu vinyake viheni" ivyo vikacitika pa mavoti, kweni wakati ivyo vikacitika vikukolerana na ivyo ŵanthu ŵakuyowoya. Mu nkhani iyo yikayowoyeka pa TV mu 2007, wakasazgirapo kuti usange ŵanthu ŵa ku Nigeria ŵakakondwa yayi na muwuso wa munthu uyo wakamusankhira, ŵakeneranga kuzakavotaso mu vilimika vinayi. Umoyo wa Yar'Adua ukati wanangika, ici cikaŵa cambura nchito.
Yar'Adua wakafwa pa 5 May 2010, ndipo Vice President Goodluck Jonathan wakaŵa kuti walapa myezi yitatu kumasinda kuti watore malo gha Yar'Adua, uyo wakalwara comene ndipo wakapokera munkhwala ku caru cinyake. Mu 2011, Jonathan ndiyo wakathereska pa chisankho chapulezidenti ndipo ŵapharazgi ŵa pa charu chose ŵakalemba kuti, mwakupambana na ivyo vikachitika kale, mavoti ghakaŵa ghawemi ndipo pakaŵavya nkhaza panji upusikizgi. Mu nyengo iyo wakaŵa mu boma, Jonathan wakawovwira kuti Ebola yimare kweniso kuti vinthu vyende makora mu vyaru vya ku Africa. Muwuso wa Jonathan ukakhozga mafilimu agho ghakaŵa ghapacanya comene, ndipo ivi vikapangiska kuti mafilimu gha ku Nigeria ghaŵe ghakwendakwenda makora.

Ku chigaŵa chinyake, chiwawa cha Boko Haram, icho chikatora ŵasungwana 200 ku Chibok mu 2014, chikulongora kuti boma la Nigeria lilije nkhongono (ŵasungwana 100 ŵa iwo ŵachali kubura mu 2022). Ndipouli, pa vyose ivi, udindo wa Jonathan ukuyana waka na uheni wa ndalama za boma. Ubuli ukaŵa wakukwana chomene pa chisankho cha 2015 apo "munthu wakutowa" Muhammadu Buhari wakanjira mu malo mwa Jonathan uyo wakakhumbanga kuwuskika. Ili ndilo (kufika mu 2022) chiyelezgero chimoza pera mu Republic yachinayi apo ŵanthu ŵa ku Nigeria ŵakakana kusankhaso pulezidenti uyo walipo. Chipani cha Jonathan, PDP, chatayika mphamvu pambuyo pa zaka 16 za boma.
Pamaso pa chisankho cha 2015, chipani chikuru cha opposition - Action Congress of Nigeria, Congress for Progressive Change, All Nigeria Peoples Party (chipani cha All Progressives Grand Alliance), na chipani chiphya cha PDP (chipani cha ma governors gha chipani cha People's Democratic Party) - chikasazgikana na kupanga All Progressives Congress. Munthu uyo ŵakamusankhanga, Muhammadu Buhari, uyo wakachitapo mavoti mu 2003, 2007, na 2011, wakathereska pa mavoti ghakujumpha mamiliyoni ghaŵiri. Ŵanthu ŵanandi awo ŵakawonanga ivyo vikachitika ŵakatenge vikaŵa vyaurunji. Pa chisankho cha 2019 cha purezidenti, Buhari adasankhidwanso kachiwiri paudindo wake pogonjetsa mdani wake wapamtima Atiku Abubakar.

Ku Nigeria, chifukwa cha gulu la ku America la Black Lives Matter, mu 2020 ŵanthu ŵaciwukirano ŵakasuska ivyo ŵapolisi ŵakacita. Gulu la Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) likadandawura comene. Boma likawuskamo ŵasilikari aŵa ndipo likaŵalayizga kuti lizamunozga vinthu. Ndipouli, pa ungano wa mu Okutobala 2020, ŵasilikari ŵakakoma ŵanthu ŵanandi. Vinthu vikamba kwenda makora mu 2022, apo gulu la Boko Haram, ilo likawofya ŵanthu kumpoto kwa Nigeria kwa vyaka vinandi, likamara. Ŵasilikari 40,000 ŵa Boko Haram ŵakajipeleka.

Kwa nyengo yakwamba mu Republic yachinayi, ŵanthu ŵatatu ŵazamukumana pa mavoti gha February 2023: Bola Tinubu wa chipani cha neoliberal All Progressives, Atiku Abubakar wa People's Democratic Party na Peter Obi wa Labour Party. Kweniso, aka kakaŵa kakwamba mu nyengo ya Repubulika lacinayi kuti palije mulara wa ŵasilikari panji uyo wakweruzga ŵasilikari uyo wali kwimikika kuŵa pulezidenti. Peter Obi, yemwe kale anali kazembe wopambana wa Anambra State, akutsogola kwambiri pakufufuza malingaliro (kuyambira Okutobala 2022). Wakutemwa comene ŵanthu ŵaciwukirano awo ŵakukhala mu matawuni, ndipo wakukhala ku South East. 
Pa 27 February 2023, mazuŵa ghaŵiri pamanyuma pa chisankho, ma results ghakafumiskika na Electoral Commission INEC ghakulongora kuti chipani cha Labour Party na munthu wake Peter Obi, yayi, kweni mulwani wake Bola Tinubu ndiyo watonda. Wupu wakuwona vya mavoti wa EU ukayowoya kuti mavoti agha ghakaŵa ghambura kujima. Ŵankhungu awo ŵakaŵa na vilwero ŵakawotcha panji kuparanya mabokosi gha mavoti ghanandi. Ku malo ghanyake, ŵanthu ŵakaguliskanga mavoti. Ma servers agho ghakapelekanga ma results gha mavoti ghakaŵa kuti ghandagwirenge nchito kwa mazuŵa ghanandi. Kweniso vikaŵa vyambura machitiko kuti ŵapharazge pa foni. Ndipouli, makomiti ghakusora ghakafumiska mavoti agho ghakapambananga na ivyo ŵanthu ŵakaghanaghananga. Pulezidenti wakale Obasanjo wakalongosora mwakudumura ivyo vikachitika pa chisankho cha pa 25 February mu uthenga wa pa vidiyo.

## Makhalilo gha charu

Charu cha Nigeria chili mu chigaŵa cha kumanjiliro gha dazi kwa Africa pa Gulf of Guinea ndipo chili na malo ghakukwana 923,768 km2 (356,669 sq mi). Malire ake ndi makilomita 4,047, ndipo amagawana malire ndi Benin (773 km kapena 480 mi), Niger (1,497 km kapena 930 mi), Chad (87 km kapena 54 mi), ndi Cameroon (kuphatikiza Ambazonia) 1,690 km kapena 1,050 mi. Mphepete mwa nyanja yake ni mtunda wa makilomita 853. Charu cha Nigeria chili pakati pa latitude 4° na 14°N, ndipo longitude 2° na 15°E. Malo ghapacanya comene mu Nigeria ni Chappal Waddi pa mamita 2,419 (7,936 ft). Mlonga ukuru ni Niger na Benue, ndipo ukukumana na kunjira mu Niger Delta. Ili ni limoza mwa milonga yikuru comene pa caru cose ndipo kuli vyakumera vinandi vya mu Central Africa.

Chigaŵa chikuru chomene cha ku Nigeria ni chipalamba cha milonga ya Niger na Benue (iyo yikukumana na kuzgoka Y).Kumwera ca kumanjiliro gha dazi kwa Niger kuli mapiri ghatali. Kumafumiro gha dazi kwa Benue kuli tumapiri na tumapiri uto tukupangiska Mambilla Plateau. Malo agha ghali pafupi na mphaka ya charu cha Cameroon.

### Nyengo

Charu cha Nigeria chili na malo ghakupambanapambana. Kumwera kwenikweni kuli nkhalango zamvula, ndipo kukulokwa maji ghanandi chomene. Kumwera kwa charu ichi kuli chigaŵa cha Obudu. Malo gha mumphepete mwa nyanja ghakusangika kumwera kwa charu ichi. Ku mumphepete mwa nyanja kuli vyakumera vya mangrove.

Chigaŵa icho chili pafupi na mphaka na Cameroon, kufupi na mumphepete mwa nyanja, chili na nkhorongo zinandi ndipo chili mu chigaŵa cha nkhorongo za mumphepete mwa nyanja cha Cross-Sanaga-Bioko. Mu chigaŵa ichi ndimo mukukhala viyuni vya mtundu wa drill, ivyo vikusangika mu malo agha pera kweniso ku Cameroon. Malo agho ghali kufupi na Calabar, mu chigaŵa cha Cross River State, nagho ghali mu nkhorongo iyi. Chigaŵa cha kumwera kwa Nigeria pakati pa Mlonga wa Niger na wa Cross River chataya nkhorongo zake zinandi chifukwa cha kukura kwa vinthu na kukorako chifukwa cha unandi wa ŵanthu.

Vinthu vyose ivyo vili pakati pa kumwera na kumpoto ni nkhorongo. Vikuŵa kuti pa chaka kukulokwa maji ghanandi yayi, kweni ghakujumpha 500 m'paka 1,500. Vigaŵa vitatu vya savannah ni Guinea, Sudan, na Sahel. Nkhorongo ya ku Guinea yili na utheka utali uwo uli na makuni. Charu cha Sudan nacho chili nga ni malo agha, kweni chili na utheka na makuni ghafupi. Mu chigaŵa cha kumpoto na kumafumiro gha dazi, muli utheka na mchenga. Mu cigaŵa ca Sahel, vula yikujumpha 500 mm pa caka, ndipo mapopa gha Sahara ghakwamba kunjira. Ku chigaŵa chakumafumiro gha dazi kwa charu ichi kuli Nyanja ya Chad.

### Kuwona maji

Nigeria wali kugaŵika vigaŵa viŵiri: Nyanja ya Chad na Niger. Chigaŵa cha Niger chili na maji ghakukwana 63% gha charu ichi. Mlonga ukuru wa Niger ni Benue, uwo ukwenda kujumpha mu Cameroon na kunjira mu Chad.

Malo agha ghakuthika na maji kufuma kumpoto kwa Nigeria. Malo gha Bauchi ghakupambana na mabwiwi gha maji gha Niger/Benue na Komadugu Yobe. Mapiri gha kumpoto ca kumafumiro gha dazi kwa Nigeria ghali ku chigaŵa cha Chad Basin, uko mlonga wa El Beid ndiwo uli mphaka na Cameroon, kufuma ku mapiri gha Mandara m'paka ku Nyanja ya Chad. Mlonga wa Komadugu Yobe ndiwo ukupangiska malo ghakuchemeka Hadejia-Nguru na nyanja za Ox-bow kuzingilizga nyanja ya Nguru mu nyengo ya vula. Mlonga unyake uwo uli kumpoto kwa charu ichi ni Ngadda na Yedseram. Mlonga uwo uli kumpoto ca kumafumiro gha dazi nawo ngukuru.

Kweniso ku Nigeria kuli milonga yinandi mumphepete mwa nyanja.

Nyanja ya Chad, iyo yili kumpoto ca kumafumiro gha dazi kwa Nigeria, yili na mbiri yakusuzga comene mu vilimika ivi. Mu vyaka vyasonosono apa, malo agha ghachepa comene, ndipo ici cingaŵa cifukwa cakuti ŵanthu ŵakumwa maji kufuma mu malo agha kuti ŵamwepo.

### Makuni na mauteka

Ku Nigeria kuli vyakumera vyakupambanapambana vitatu: nkhorongo (uko kuli makuni ghanandi), viŵaya (uko kuli makuni ghanandi yayi, ndipo pakati pa makuni pali vyakumera na maluŵa), na mapiri (uko kuli vyakumera vinandi yayi, kweni chomenechomene mu mapiri kufupi na mphaka ya Cameroon). Malo gha nkhorongo na gha savani ghakupambana mu vigaŵa vitatu.

Malo ghanyake agho ghali kumwera kwa nkhorongo iyi, comenecomene kuzingilizga Mlonga wa Niger na Cross River, ghali na vivwati vya mangrove. Kumpoto kwa malo agha kuli chipalamba cha maji ghawemi, icho chili na vyakumera vyakupambana na vyakumera vya mangrove, ndipo kumpoto kwa malo agha kuli nkhorongo.

Vigaŵa vitatu vya savannah vili kugaŵika mu vigaŵa vitatu: nkhorongo ya ku Guinea, iyo yili na utheka utali uwo uli na makuni ghanandi, ndipo yikusangika mu vyaru vinandi.

### Nkhani za Umoyo
 Ku Nigeria, suzgo likuru comene ndakuti ŵanthu ŵakugwiliskira nchito viswaswa, kusazgapo maji ghaheni. Mu misumba yikuru-yikuru nga ni Lagos na misumba yinyake yikuru-yikuru ya ku Nigeria, suzgo la kunozga vyakusakazika likusazgikira cifukwa ca suzgo la vya cuma, unandi wa ŵanthu, kweniso cifukwa cakuti maboma ghakutondeka kunozga vyakusakazga vyakusakazika. Suzgo ili likuŵapo chifukwa cha umoyo wambura kukhazikika wa ŵanthu ŵa mu chigaŵa cha Kubwa ku Federal Capital Territory, uko ŵakutemwa kuwuskamo viswaswa mwambura kupambaniska. Ŵanthu ŵakughanaghana kuti cifukwa cikuru ca kunangika kwa vinthu mu misumba yikuru ya mu caru ici nchakuti ŵanthu ŵakucita mapulani mwambura kwenelera, ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵakukhala mu matawuni ghakurughakuru, ŵanthu mbaukavu, ndipo maboma gha vigaŵa vyawo ghakumanya yayi. Vinthu vinyake ivyo ŵanthu ŵakuchita pa nkhani iyi, vikunanga malo agho ŵanthu ŵakukhala.

Wupu wa United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization ukati mu 2005, caru ca Nigeria ndico cikaŵa cakusuzga comene kuti makuni ghamare. Mu caka ici, mu caru ici mukaŵa makuni ghakukwana 12,2%, panji kuti mahekitala 11,089,000. Pakati pa 1990 na 2000, caru ca Nigeria cikaluza makuni ghakukwana mahekitala 409,700 pa caka. Pakati pa 1990 na 2005, nkhorongo ya ku Nigeria yikamara pa 35.7% panji kuti mahekitala pafupifupi 6,145,000. Charu cha Nigeria chili na chiŵelengero cha 6.2/10 pa charu chose pa vyaru 172.

Mu 2010, ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵakasangika na dongo ilo lili na sulefure kufuma ku migodi ya golide ku Zamfara. Nangauli ŵanthu ŵakuyowoya vyakupambanapambana pa nkhani iyi, kweni ŵakuwona kuti ŵana ŵakujumpha 400 ŵakafwa na ulwari wa kulwara na ulozi.

Chigaŵa cha Delta ku Nigeria, uko kuli makampani ghakurughakuru gha mafuta, kuli mafuta ghanandi agho ghatutuka na masuzgo ghanyake agho ghakuchitiska nkhondo.

Malo ghakusangirapo mafuta ghambura kuzomerezgeka, agho ŵanthu ŵakugwiliskira nchito pakusintha mafuta ghakubisika kuŵa petulo na mafuta gha dizilo, ghakuwoneka kuti "ngaheni, ngaheni ndiposo ghakupeleka ndalama zinandi". Kaŵirikaŵiri, ŵanthu ŵakutondeka kuwona umo vinthu viliri pa nkhani ya chivikiliro na vyendendendeko (nga ni umo vikuŵira para sulfure yikufumamo yayi mu mafuta agho ŵakugwiliskira ntchito). Kweniso para munthu wakusazgako mafuta gha mafuta ghakufumira mu mafuta ghakuru, agho ghakuŵa nga ni mafuta ghapusu, ghakuŵa nga ni mafuta ghakupwantha. Malo ghakupangira mafuta ghambura kuzomerezgeka na dango ghalije nthowa izi ndipo "ghakuponya" mafuta agho ghakusangika. Kweni para mafuta ghamara (methane kuya ku butane, isobutane) ghakuŵa na ngozi yakuti ghangaphulika. Mu 2022, ŵanthu ŵakukwana 125 ŵakafwa cifukwa ca kuphulika kwa vyakupangira mafuta ku Nigeria.

## Ndyali

### Boma
Charu cha Nigeria chili na vigaŵa 36 ndipo msumba ukuru ni Abuja. Pulezidenti ndiyo wakufiska mazaza. Mulongozgi wa boma wakuŵa mutu wa boma na wa boma. Mazaza gha pulezidenti ghakulongozgeka na wupu wa Senate na House of Representatives, uwo ukuŵa na nyumba ziŵiri, zina lake National Assembly. Bungwe la Senate lili na mipando 109, ndipo lili na mamembala ghatatu kufuma ku chigaŵa chilichose na yumoza kufuma ku msumba wa Abuja. Nyumba ya Malango yili na vithuzithuzi 360, ndipo chiŵelengero cha vithuzithuzi pa chigaŵa chilichose chikuthemba pa unandi wa ŵanthu.

Pulezidenti wa Nigeria wakusankhika mu ndondomeko ya vigaŵa viŵiri. Kuti munthu wasankhike mu cigaŵa cakwamba, wakwenera kupokera mavoti ghanandi ndiposo mavoti ghakujumpha 25% mu vigaŵa 24 pa 36.Usange palije uyo wakufiska chilato ichi, ŵakuvota kachiŵiri pakati pa uyo wakulongozga na uyo wapokera mavoti ghanandi mu vigaŵa vinandi. Awo ŵakukhumba kuŵa pulezidenti ŵakuŵa na munthu munyake uyo wakuyana yayi na iwo pa nkhani ya fuko na chisopa: Mkhristu wa ku South wakusankha munthu wa ku North uyo ni Musulumani. Palije dango ilo likukanizga ivi, kweni ŵanthu wose awo ŵakukhumba kuŵa ŵalongozgi ŵa boma kufuma waka apo boma la France likambira ŵakulondezga dango ili.

Ndipouli, fundo iyi yakuti ŵanthu ŵavisopa na mafuko ghakupambanapambana ndiwo ŵalongozgenge ŵanyawo yikasuskika pa Chisankho cha 2023, apo Bola Ahmed Tinubu, uyo wakaŵa Musulumani, wakasankha Musulumani munyake, Senator Kashim Shettima kuti waŵe mulongozgi.

Ŵalara ŵa boma, nga ni pulezidenti, ŵakusankhika kwa vyaka vinayi.

### Kugawikana kwa boma

Charu cha Nigeria chili na vigaŵa 36 na chigaŵa chimoza cha Federal Capital Territory. Mu vigaŵa vinyake, vyaru ivi vili mu vigaŵa vinkhondi na cimoza: Kumpoto kwa kumanjiliro gha dazi, kumpoto kwa kumafumiro gha dazi, kumpoto kwa pakati, kumwera kwa kumanjiliro gha dazi, kumwera kwa kumafumiro gha dazi, na kumwera kwa kumwera.

Mu Nigeria muli misumba yinkhondi iyo muli ŵanthu ŵakujumpha 1 miliyoni (kufuma ku yikuru kuluta ku yichoko): Lagos, Kano, Ibadan, Benin City na Port Harcourt. Msumba wa Lagos ndiwo ni ukuru comene mu Africa, uli na ŵanthu ŵakujumpha 12 miliyoni.

Kumwera kwa charu ichi kuli misumba yinandi chomene. Kafukufuku munyake wakulongora kuti mu 2015, mu Nigeria mukaŵa misumba 20 iyo mukaŵa ŵanthu ŵakujumpha 500,000.

### Vipani
Mu chaka cha 2022, Nyumba ya Mafumu na Nyumba ya ŵimiliri mu Nigeria yikulongozgeka na magulu ghatatu:
* Chipani cha Democratic People's Party ndicho chikaŵa na mazaza pa charu chose mu vyaka 16 vyakwambilira vya Repubulika Yachinayi. Likukhumba kuwezgerapo nkharo yake yiheni iyo yikaŵapo mu nyengo ya Jonathan pambere paŵavye mavoti gha 2015. Uyo wakulongozga, Abubakar, wakuwoneka kuti wakukumana na maboma gha chigaŵa cha chipani chake (makamaka Governor Wike) m'malo mwa ŵalwani ŵake ŵa ndyali.
* Wupu wa All Progressives Congress ni wupu wa vipani vichoko ivyo vikususkana na pulezidenti Jonathan. Chipani cha Progressive chikapeleka Muhammadu Buhari ku mpando wa president mu 2015 ndipo chakhala chipani chakulongozga kwambira nyengo iyo. Na nduna zakumanyikwa comene za boma, Fashola (Public Works) na Amaechi (Transport), ŵanthu ŵakulondezga fundo za boma ŵakujiwona kuti mbankhongono.
* Pa nyengo iyi, ŵa Labour ŵakaŵa ŵambura kuzomerezgeka na boma.

### Malango

Ndondomeko ya malango ya ku Nigeria ndiyo njakwenelera. Ku Nigeria kuli malango ghanayi ghakupambanapambana, nga ni malango gha Chingelezi, common law, common law, na Sharia law:

* Dango la ku England mu Nigeria lili na malango gha ku Britain agho ghakaŵako mu nyengo ya ukoloni.

* Dango lakwendera lumoza ni malango gha boma agho ghalembeka mu charu icho munthu wali kukhalamo. (Ndondomeko iyi yikusangika comene mu vyaru vya Anglo-Saxon; kweni mu caru ca Europe, malango gha boma agho ghali kulembekeka makora, ndiposo agho ghakusangika mwakupepuka, ndigho ghakulongozga, nga ni umo viliri mu Code Napoléon mu France).

* Malango gha cikaya ghakafuma ku malango na maluso gha cikaya, kusazgapo maungano gha kumazga mphindano agho ghakaŵako pambere caru ca Yoruba cindaŵeko.

* Dango la Chisilamu likagwiranga ntchito ku Northern Nigeria, uko chisopa cha Chisilamu ndicho chikulongozga. Ŵasilamu ŵakugwiliskiraso ntchito chiyowoyero ichi mu chigaŵa cha Lagos, Oyo, Kwara, Ogun, na Osun. Malamulo gha visopo gha visopo ghakupambana mu vyaru vyose ndipo ghakupambana pa mulandu wa kusopa (nga nkhumwa na kupeleka moŵa).

Mu charu ichi muli makhoti gha milandu, ndipo khoti likuru chomene ni Khoti Likuru Chomene mu Nigeria.

### Ubale na vyaru vinyake

Apo charu cha Nigeria chikapokera wanangwa mu 1960, chikaŵika mtima comene pa umoza wa Africa. Chimoza mwa vinthu ivyo vikapangiska kuti ŵanthu ŵa ku Africa ŵaleke kughanaghanira chomene vya charu ichi ni ubwezi uwo ukaŵa pakati pa Nigeria na Israyeli mu ma 1960. Israyeli ndiyo wakawovwira na kulaŵilira mulimo wa kuzenga Nyumba za Ufumu.

Ndondomeko ya vyaru vinyake ya Nigeria yikayezgeka mu ma 1970 apo caru cikafumamo mu nkhondo ya cikaya. Gulu ili likawovwiranga ŵanthu awo ŵakasuskanga maboma gha ŵazungu ku Southern Africa. Nigeria yikakhozgera African National Congress mwa kuŵa na maghanoghano ghakusuzga pa boma la South Africa. Nigeria yikaŵa yumoza wa awo ŵakambiska wupu wakucemeka Organisation for African Unity (uyo sono ni African Union). Nigeria ndiyo yikambiska vyaru vya kumanjiliro gha dazi kwa Africa, ndipo ndiyo yikendeskanga vyaru vya ECOWAS (Economic Community of West African States) na ECOMOG (makamaka pa nyengo ya nkhondo za ku Liberia na Sierra Leone).

Chifukwa cha maghanoghano agha, Nigeria yikatuma ŵasilikari ku Congo mwaluŵiro, kuyana na umo wupu wa United Nations ukayowoyera, pamanyuma pakuti charu ichi chafwatuka. Nigeria yikagwiraso nchito zinandi za Pan-African na pro-self-government mu ma 1970, kusazgapo kuvikilira MPLA ya Angola, SWAPO mu Namibia, na kovwira ŵakususkana na maboma gha banthu ba ku Portugal Mozambique, na Rhodesia. Nigeria yikulutilira kuŵa mu gulu la vyaru vyambura kukolerana. Kuumaliro wa Novembala 2006, likanozga ungano wa Africa-South America Summit ku Abuja kuti likhozge ivyo ŵanthu ŵanyake awo ŵakiza ku ungano uwu ŵakachema kuti "South-South" pa vigaŵa vyakupambanapambana. Nigeria nayo wali mu wupu wa International Criminal Court na Commonwealth of Nations. Ŵakaŵachimbizga mu 1995 apo boma la Abacha likaŵalongozganga.

Kufuma waka mu ma 1970, Nigeria yikulutilira kuŵa na nkharo yiwemi pa nkhani ya mafuta. Charu ichi chikupanga mafuta ghanandi comene cifukwa cakuti nyengo zinyake chikuŵa na mphindano na vyaru vyakupambanapambana, comenecomene na vyaru vya ku United States.

Kwambira mu 2000, malonda gha pakati pa China na Nigeria ghakusazgikira comene. Kufuma mu 2000 m'paka mu 2016, malonda gha vyaru viŵiri ivi ghakwera pa madola 10,384 miliyoni. Ndipouli, umo vinthu viliri pakati pa China na Nigeria vyazgoka nkhani yikuru ya ndyali. Fundo iyi yikulongora kuti vyakurya ivyo vikufuma ku China vikupanga pafupifupi 80 peresenti ya malonda ghose agho ghakuchitika pakati pa vyaru viŵiri ivi.

Phangano ili likasazgikaso mu Ogasiti 2022, kweni pakaŵa mphindano pakati pa magulu agha. Awo ŵakwimira boma ŵakuyowoya za "nkhondo" - kwimikana. Ŵanthu ŵakopa kuti magulu agha, nangauli ghali na mazina ghapachanya, ghaleka kuŵa na udindo pa chigaŵa chawo na mafuko ghawo, ndipo ghazgokera ku vyakusanguluska na kujiwovwira. Mulimonsemo, mapaipi mu Niger Delta si "otetezedwa" moyenera - kuipitsa kwa Niger Delta ndi mafuta obedwa ndi mafuta olemera omwe amapangidwa mosaloledwa akupitilirabe osatsekedwa pambuyo pa 2016.

Ndondomeko yiphya iyi yikawovwira kuti ŵanthu ŵaŵe na mwaŵi wa kupokera wovwiri wa munkhwala mu vigaŵa vyawo. Ndondomeko yikuru yikasazgikira ku vigaŵa vyose vya wovwiri wa munkhwala, ndipo pamasinda vinthu vikamba kwenda makora pa nkhani ya wovwiri wa munkhwala.

Viŵelengero vya HIV/AIDS ku Nigeria ni vichoko chomene pakuyaniska na vyaru vinyake vya mu Africa nga ni Botswana na South Africa. Kufumira mu caka ca 2019, ciŵelengero ca ŵanthu ŵakukoma HIV pa ŵanthu ŵalara msinkhu ŵa vyaka 15-49 cikaŵa 1.5 peresenti. Ŵanthu ŵanandi ku Nigeria ŵakukhala vyaka 54,7, ndipo ŵanthu 71% na 39% ŵali na maji ghawemi kweniso malo ghawemi ghakukhala. Kufika mu 2019, chiŵelengero cha ŵana awo ŵakufwa ni 74.2 pa ŵana 1,000.

### Chiwawa

Ku Nigeria kuli vigeŵenga vinandi ivyo vikwendeska malonda gha minkhwala yakuzweteska wongo.

Mabungwe ghakupambanapambana gha ku Nigeria panji "masukulu ghakusambizga vya chisopa" ghakuchitako vinthu vyaupusikizgi na nkhaza za ndyali kweniso ghakwendeska vimbundi mu Nigeria. Pakuti mabungwe agha ghakukolerana chomene na ŵandyali na ŵasilikari, ghakupeleka mwaŵi ku ŵana ŵa sukulu kuti ŵamanye vinandi. Mwaciyelezgero, wupu wa Supreme Vikings Confraternity ukuyowoya kuti ŵanthu 12 ŵa mu Nyumba ya Malango ya ku Rivers State ŵali mu gulu la cisopo.

Ku Lagos, ŵanthu 273 na ŵapolisi 84 ŵakakomeka kufuma mu Ogasiti 2000 m'paka Meyi 2001.

Ku Gulf of Guinea kuli ŵankhungu, ndipo ŵakukoma ŵanthu ŵa mitundu yose. Chifukwa chakuti ku Nigeria ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵakukopeka, ŵanthu 28 pa ŵanthu 30 awo ŵakakoleka pakati pa Janyuwale na Juni 2013 ŵakaŵa ŵa ku Nigeria.

Pa caru cose, Nigeria njakumanyikwa cifukwa ca upusikizgi wa ku banki uwo ukucemeka 419, mtundu wa upusikizgi wa kulipira ndalama zakwendakwenda (wakucemeka kuyana na cipaturo 419 ca Dango la Nkhaza la Nigeria) pamoza na "upusikizgi wa ku Nigeria", mtundu wa upusikizgi uwo ukucitika na ŵanthu na magulu gha vigeŵenga. Vinthu ivi ni banki ya ku Nigeria iyo yikukolerana nayo (malango ghakukanizga ivi) kweniso munthu munyake uyo wakuti wali na ndalama izo wakukhumba kutorako ku banki iyi. Munthu uyo wapika ndalama wakughanaghana kuti wangapokera ndalama izo ŵamutuma ndipo waŵenge nazo. Mu malo mwake, ŵakutora ndalama, panji ŵakukanizga kulipira ndalama zinandi (izo zikuwoneka nga ni zichoko pakuyaniska na usambazi uwo ŵanthu ŵakughanaghana kuti ŵangasanga). Mu 2003, wupu wakuwona vya vigeŵenga wa ku Nigeria (Nigerian Economic and Financial Crimes Commission) ukapangika kuti uwovwire pa nkhani iyi na zinyake.

### Ukavu

Banki ya Charu chose yikati mu Malichi 2022 chiŵelengero cha ŵanthu ŵakavu ku Nigeria chikakwera na 5 million kufika pa 95.1 million mu nyengo ya Covid. Ntheura, ŵanthu 40 pa ŵanthu 100 wose ŵa ku Nigeria ŵakukhala pasi pa ukavu wa US$1.90 nga umo Banki ya Caru Cose yikulongolera.

Ndalama izo IMF na World Bank ŵakugwiliskira nchito pa caru cose, zikugwiliskira nchito nkhongono zakugulira za dola ya ku America yayi. Ntheura, nthowa iyi njakususkana. Mwaciyelezgero, nangauli ku Nigeria kuli malo ghakusangika ŵanthu ŵambura nchito, kweni fundo yakuti ŵanalume 92% na ŵanakazi 88% mu Nigeria ŵali na foni njakusuzga kuyilondezga na unandi wa ukavu uwo walembeka na IMF na World Bank.

### Wanangwa wa Munthu

Ŵanthu ŵa ku Nigeria ŵakutondeka kulondezga malango gha boma. Kuyana na U.S. Dipatimenti ya Boma, masuzgo ghakuru gha wanangwa wa ŵanthu ni kugwiliskira nchito nkongono zinandi na mawupu gha kuvikilira wanangwa wa ŵanthu, kuleka kulangika cifukwa ca kuyuzgika na mawupu gha kuvikilira wanangwa wa ŵanthu, kukakika mwambura kwenelera, kukakika kwa nyengo yitali, vimbundi vya ŵeruzgi na mazaza gha ŵalara ŵa boma pa wupu wa vyeruzgi, kukaka, kutambuzgika na vinthu vinyake vyakofya, vyambura urunji panji vyakukhozga soni ŵanthu awo ŵali mu jele, ŵakukakika na ŵakukayikira; vinthu vyakofya na vyakofya mu jele na malo ghakusungirako ŵanthu; kusuzga ŵanthu kuti ŵaŵe mahule na kugwira nchito mwankhongono, nkhaza za mu cikaya na kukoma ŵanthu, kugwira nchito kwa ŵana, kuyuzga ŵana na kuŵagwiliskira nchito uheni, nkhaza za mu mbumba, kusankhana chifukwa ca mtundu, cigaŵa na cisopa.

Boma la Nigeria ndilo likukolerana na phangano lakumazga nkhanza zose izo zikucitikira ŵanakazi. Kusankhana chifukwa cha kugonana ni nkhani yikuru ya wanangwa wa ŵanthu. Nthengwa zacicicizgo zikucitika comene. Nthengwa za ŵana zichali zakutchuka ku Northern Nigeria; 39% ya ŵasungwana ŵakutengwa pambere ŵandafike vyaka 15, nangauli dango lakukanizga nthengwa za ŵana ŵasungwana ŵa vyaka vyakukwana 18 likakhazikiskika mu 2008. Ku Northern Nigeria ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵakutora mitala. Kujilambika kwa muwoli kwa mfumu wake ndiposo nkhaza za pa nyumba ni vyakuzara. Ŵanakazi ŵalije wanangwa wa kupoka malo. Mu 2015, pa ŵanthu 100,000 awo ŵakababika, 814 ŵakafwanga. Nangauli mu 2015 boma likakanizga kuti ŵanakazi ŵachitikenge viŵaro vya mu viŵaro vyawo. Ku Nigeria, ŵanthu pafupifupi hafu ya miliyoni ŵali na nthenda iyi, comenecomene cifukwa ca kusoŵa munkhwala. Nthengwa zaciwukirano zingapangiska kuti munthu waŵe na nthenda iyi.

Ŵanakazi ŵakukumana na suzgo likuru comene pa ndyali mu Nigeria, cifukwa cakuti ŵakusuzgika na kusankhana mitundu ndipo ŵakukhozga suzgo lawo mu vigaŵa vya cikaya, vya cuma, na vyandyali. Mu 1979, ŵanakazi wose mu caru ici ŵakafwatuka. Ndipouli, ŵanakazi ŵanandi ku Nigeria, uko kuli muwuso wa ŵafumu, ŵakulutilira kupika mazaza na ŵafumu ŵawo. Ŵanakazi ndiwo ŵakugwira nchito zinandi mu vipatala. Ŵanakazi ŵacoko comene mu boma kufuma apo ŵakafwatukira ku Britain. Ŵanakazi ŵali kucepa comene mu mauteŵeti ghose gha mu boma, ndipo ŵachali na maudindo ghacoko comene. Kweni mazuŵa ghano, cifukwa cakuti ŵanthu ŵakusambira comene, ŵanakazi ŵa ku Nigeria ŵakucita vinthu vinyake kuti ŵateŵetere makora mu boma.

Kuyana na dango la Sharia ilo likugwira ntchito ku Ŵasilamu mu vyaru 12 vya kumpoto kwa charu ichi, ŵanthu awo ŵakumwa moŵa, kugonana ŵanalume panji ŵanakazi ŵekhaŵekha, ŵambura kugomezgeka, na kwiba ŵakulangika chomene. Kuyana na kafukufuku uyo wakachitika mu 2013, ŵanthu 98% ku Nigeria ŵakugomezga kuti ŵanthu ŵakwenera yayi kuzomera kugonana kwa ŵanalume panji ŵanakazi pera. Mu vyaka 23 ivyo vyajumpha (kufika mu Seputembala 2022), ŵantchito ŵa pa yunivesite ku Nigeria ŵakanjiramo mu sitiroko maulendo 17. Pa cifukwa ici, sukulu ya cihanya ya mu 2022 yikanikika mu caru cose.
