Slavery in Nigeria
Slavery in Nigeria

Article Evaluation: Unrated/stub, needs A LOT more information

I really want to do this page because there is barely any information and I feel like it is a really important issue today and it is the most interesting to me out of the topics I have researched. This article does not have a lot of information on the history of slavery in Nigeria. It also does not have a lot of information on modern-day slavery in Nigeria, which is a very important issue today. I am very interested in human rights issues and slavery is a huge human rights issue so I would be very interested to research more about slavery in Nigeria and the status of it today.

Irreligion (Atheism) in Nigeria
Irreligion in Nigeria

Article Evaluation: Short beginning, needs more content

This article briefly talks about atheism in Nigeria but does not go into the specific effects of being an atheist in Nigeria. This is important because Nigeria has a lot of religious conflicts today, especially between Muslims and Christians but there is not much knowledge of where atheists fit in. I am also very interested in religious conflict and want to minor in religious studies so this topic would further my interest and knowledge in religion in Nigeria. It is also a unique topic since religion is more popular in Nigeria than Irreligion so there is probably a lot of conflict because of this.

LGBT Rights in Nigeria
LGBT rights in Nigeria

Article Evaluation: preliminary article with room for improvement

There are not very many LGBT rights in Nigeria currently. This article addresses many of the issues but could also use a lot of editing. The prejudice towards LGBT individuals in Nigeria is an important issue today because it is a huge human rights issue. Again, this goes along with what I want to do in the future since I want to help human rights internationally.
