Newsflash: Nigeria at the Heart of Africa; plus, small news roundup
The Heart of Africa Project opened in Atlanta two days ago. It is an image-projecting initiative of the Nigerian Federal Ministry of Information and National Orientation. Call the Nigerian Consulate for more 411.

Atlanta Global is no Nigeria specialist, but if someone is willing to send us, we'll be quite happy to take the trip and report back accordingly!
And two small notices:
