Do we even care that our miners are dying? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The unfortunate death of 37 miners has accentuated the strange way we react to national misfortunes. There is something wonderfully Nigerian about tragedy. We can ignore a problem for years, watch people die from it repeatedly, step over the corpses, drive past the abandoned mine pits and even issue a few beautifully worded press statements. But once the death toll becomes large enough, we suddenly discover our national conscience. Thirty-seven suspected illegal miners died in the custody of the
El Niño and the warning Nigeria must not ignore (opens the original)
Read excerpt
An Igbo adage says that only a tree stands still when it is told it will be cut down. Indeed, the only sentient being that stays fixed on a particular course when it is informed that the road leads to danger is the one determined to self-destruct. That climate warning that Nigeria can no longer afford to treat as an abstract scientific prediction, but as a real and present danger, is called ‘El Niño’.

In fact, the latest figures are sobering. According to the Nigeria Centre fo
Lessons for Nigeria from Africa’s artisanal mining disasters (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In January, over 200 people were reported killed after a collapse at the Rubaya coltan mining area in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. In March, another collapse in the same mineral-rich area killed more than 200 people, including about 70 children, according to Congolese authorities. Heavy rainfall was reported as a trigger. Then, in August, the Central African Republic suffered another devastating reminder of the human cost of artisanal mining. More than 100 people were killed when an art
