Nigeria continues to experience longstanding ethnic and religious tensions. Both the 2003 and 2007 presidential elections were marred by significant irregularities and violence. However, the general elections of April 2007 marked the first civilian-to-civilian transfer of power in the country's history. In January 2010, Nigeria assumed a non-permanent seat on the UN Security Council for the 2010-11 term. (Central Intelligence Agency, 2010)
Nigeria, Africas most populous country, is composed of more than 250 ethnic groups. the following are the most populous and politically influential: Hausa and Fulani 29%, Yoruba 21%, Igbo (Ibo) 18%, Ijaw 10%, Kanuri 4%, Ibibio 3.5%, Tiv 2.5%. (Central Intelligence Agency, 2010) The Fulani, Muslim, are concentrated in the north of the country on the southern edge of the Sahara desert. The Igbo are concentrated in the Niger delta.

Nigeria struggles, only more so, with the issues that afflict less developed countries throughout Africa and the world. Less than 70% of the population is literate. On a per-capita basis it has the world's third-highest level of people living with AIDS and the third-highest AIDS death rate. As a result of this, poverty and other endemic diseases life expectancy is below 50 years. Fully 70% of the population live below the poverty level. (Central Intelligence Agency, 2010)

It “provides 95% of foreign exchange earnings and about 80% of budgetary revenues.” (Central Intelligence Agency, 2010) It is capital intensive and controlled by transnational companies. Also, it means the economy is dependent on international oil prices and global production levels, both entirely beyond the control .of the national government. . .
