Yes, as much as 1,828 butterfly species have been identified in Nigeria alone. The world as a whole has about 17,657 listed butterfly species, as given in the 2007 World Butterfly Census. What that implies is that Nigeria alone has over 10% of the entire world known species, or identified species of butterflies, at least. According to the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), an international non-governmental organisation, the eco-region that straddles the Cameroon-Nigeria border is especially rich in forest butterfly species due to the favourable microclimate there.

Endangered species are always in the news, especially if you are a fan of National Geographic or Discovery channels. One of such animals or specifically, mammals are the Drill Monkey; a unique, semi-terrestrial, seasonally semi-nomadic monkey, that exhibits extreme sexual dimorphism with males weighing up to 45 kg – three times the size of females.

One of the interesting things about our history as a people is how the towns and cities we see today were founded. Their origins are usually attributed to legendary figures who undertook great expeditions centuries ago and settled on lands which they immediately began to build upon.

The Nigeria Police Force is the principal law enforcement agency in Nigeria. Though there is an argument for its staff strength being grossly inadequate, the Nigerian Police Force is however a very large organization consisting of 36 State commands grouped into 12 zones and 7 administrative organs. The Nigerian Police (NP) is designated by the 1999 constitution as the national police of Nigeria with exclusive jurisdiction throughout the country. Constitutional provision also exists, however, for the establishment of separate NPF branches “forming part of the armed forces of the Federation or for their protection of harbours, waterways, railways and airfields.” One such branch, the Port Security Police, was reported by different sources to have a strength in 1990 of between 1,500 and 12,000.
