Nigerias complex problems go back a long time. but since January 1966. events have been heating up rapidly. In the past 14 months this young nation. which achieved independence in 1960. has experienced two military coups. and two massacres which claimed from 10 to 30.000 lives. As a result. mass migrations of people have occurred within Nigeria. and almost 2 million persons are now refugees in their own country. Most of the atrocities were committed against the Ibo people who come from Eastern Nigeria. and who now constitute virtually all the refugees. imposing severe financial and social problems upon the eastern government. These events have seriously disrupted life in Nigeria. Education has been impaired.
