Hello I am an undergraduate at Rice University and will be covering this topic as a course requirement. The current Wikipedia article does not give information other than a list of issues and also the links to various treaties that show Nigeria’s stance. A more in-depth look at the issues is needed to truly understand the stagnation that we see in Nigeria’s economic, social, and political movements. When looking at articles that addressed human rights in other African countries, we sadly see that only 21 exist while there are 54 states in Africa. Within those 21, only a few articles are well-developed. It seems backwards and problematic that in this day and age, with our intense focus on equality and liberty across the global sphere, that so much would be neglected. As for the validity of references, I plan to focus my broad points from information given by sources such as the Human Rights Reports, the Human Rights Watch, the United Nations Human Rights Council, Amnesty International, the Council on Foreign Relations and more sources that deals with these issues. For more specific examples and information, I will be able to use those sources but I will also draw on respected newspapers in Nigeria to provide more of a personalized view on the subjects. There are also articles in the NY Times and American newspapers that have chronicled Nigeria’s problems and provide sufficient examples and statistics that can be used for this project. Any questions or comments would be greatly appreciated Gracieoribamise ( talk) 04:38, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
1. Make sure to stay neutral. I can tell that you are passionate about this topic ( and rightfully so) but make sure that the reader cannot hear your voice.
2. Make sure to add some blue links for names or more niche terms in order to make accessible your article to a wider audience.
3. Make sure to proof-read your article and ensure that your sentences are concise and clear.
4. Get some help from your African Studies professors. I am sure that they can have some very valuable input for you.
Thank you again for expanding on this topic. I think that you are doing an awesome job!

@ Gracieoribamise: you have definitely made some vast improvements to this article. Overall, I find the article to be informative as it addresses many points in detail. There are also many areas for improvement. The tone of the article in regards to neutrality of the information provided could be improved to folow Wikipedia standards. I think one major area for improvement would be the incorporation of an article lead. I believe an article lead will help readers to get a basis on the main topics of human rights that are being addressed in Nigeria. The lead will also help organize the article in a way that reads ore clearly. I think this is important, as more important information should be placed closer to the top of the page. There are sections within the article that could benefit from subsections. This is important because it allows you to go more in depth into the issues. The work you have contributed to this page is very informative and of a high quality based upon Wikipedia standards. Keep it up! And thanks for increasing the scope of Wikipedia!

Hello! I am an undergraduate student at Rice University who will be working on this article as part of a course assignment, similarly to Gracieoribamise. I would add to add more information about Nigeria's political system and constitution to provide more of a background on the difference between what is stated and what is actually protected. I would also like to describe Boko Haram's impingement on human rights more by discussing human trafficking. Additionally, I would like to write more about the rights of ethnic and religious minorities in Nigeria. I would appreciate any advice or comments that you have.

Nice contribution, although I'd suggest expanding the section on Human rights organizations and bodies to contain some further information on the organizations, as well as citations including links to their websites. GavinCross ( talk) 20:03, 19 November 2015 (UTC)
