Edit needed:

I don't understand this introductory phrase to the text under the heading Background. Someone who knows what it intends, please edit for clarity:

Due to Nigeria being around split between the Christian south and Muslim north

Is it clearer now? If not that the north of Nigeria and south is Christian is quite an important fact about Nigeria and it creates tensions between the groups. -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 23:06, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

I removed the word "around". The remaining sentence is presumably what was intended. Art LaPella (talk) 23:46, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

Definitely. A communication failure on my part. -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 07:25, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

Citations

Citations 5 & 6 need some help:

5^ "Africa’s troubled giant". The Economist. 8 February 2002. Retrieved 9 September 2010. (subscription required)

This reference should be available to all readers of the article. Substitute a citation to the print version, perhaps.

6^ a b c d "Manhunt begins after prison break". Independent Online. 9 September 2010. Retrieved 9 September 2010.

Following the link on this citation leads to a "404 Not Found" error. The reference is unverifiable by this reader. Samohtar (talk) 00:41, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

• @5, Per WP:PAYWALL sources don't have to be available to the general public free of charge - if you want to verify it get a free trial or a subscription to the Economist.
• @6, it appears to still be available at this Google Cache address - if its still down in a few days I'll find an alternative source. -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 01:27, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

6 appears to be working now. I've set myself a reminder to check back at this page in six weeks or so to check its still up. -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 21:49, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

the independent online source is still working. -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 08:13, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

Prison

What is vague about calling it a "prison"?

I found http://www.prisons.gov.ng/pi.php which will tell more about this WhisperToMe (talk) 05:26, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

I've found the prisons name in one of the existing sources which is what I think was being discussed. So  Done. -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 06:29, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
