Ambassador Ibrahim Gambardi
Speaker says nation is seeing political and economic changes
By Mauricio Rios Kansan staff writer
Nigeria is going through a process of economic and political readjustment, the Nigerian ambassador to the United Nations said Friday.
Ibrahim Gambari spoke to about 60 people at the Centennial Room in the Kansas Union about Nigeria's cultural history and its transition to a democratic process.
"It is not just a melting pot but a hot melting pot," he said.
Nigeria has 250 ethnic groups, each with a different language, he said.
"The constant challenge, however, has been how to forge and foster durable national unity of this diversity," he said.
Gambardi said the ethnic diversity was the basis for Nigeria's vibrancy and creativity.
Nigeria is a multilingual, multireligious and multiethnic nation, Gambari said.
Gambardi said religious fanaticism within factions of the two most influential religions, Islam and Christianity, was a problem for Nigeria.
Politicians use the people's religious fanaticism to fight one another, Gambardi said.
He said that Muslims would not
commit to church and
state while Christians were
allowed.
The present regime is trying to establish a compromise between religious groups to soften the struggle, he said.
"Nigeria cannot afford a religious war, nor can she survive one," he said.
Gambardi said the ideologies were becoming irrelevant, especially because they did not meet the basic needs of the people.
Leaders of the two religions have the responsibility of not saying or doing anything that could infiltrate religious institutions in the country apart, Gambardi said.
The influence of political ideologies,
however, is less now because the United States and the Soviet Union are cooperating with each other, he said.
He said the world now saw that communism did not work.
Gambari said that Nigeria had both physical resources and human resources but that the question was how to mobilize them.
"Maybe capitalism doesn't work either," he said. "The debate is which system or combination of systems will provide the basic needs of the people."
"Nigerians are very democratic people, and we can build on that," he said.
The international community should concentrate on helping countries that are struggling, he said.
"If Nigeria does well, neighboring countries do well." he said.
Gambardi said he was optimistic about the future of Nigeria.
Sissoko, who assisted the presentation, said Nigeria's problems reflected Africa's orblems.
He said that emphasis should be put on education.
"It's the same problem everywhere in Africa," Sissoko said. "We are still learning, so we can also learn from Nigeria."

(FOOD FOR THOUGHT ABOUT A CAREER IN ADVERTISING)
Advertising demands a liberally educated mind. One instilled with curiosity, inspiration, and the vision to see what others don't.
If you like problem-solving for the fun of it, want your ideas heard, and thrive on responsibility competition, and hard work - it may be right for you.
Hear what a bunch of Kansas grads think about life in a very special kind of advertising agency.
