"There iS very little pessi- mism regarding the world. situa- tion,:" he noted, -Although he's P5 years old, a colorful visitor in Clinton on Saturday told the News-Record in an interview that he hnd finally managed to learn how to skate, However, the delay in master- ing the process that most nativ- es learn by the time they are six can be explained by the fact the visitor was a young Niger- ian, Halu Ulna, Kaki, who spent the clay at them ho.. of Dr. and Mrs. Wal- ter Oakes,' Clinton, is studying for his master's degree in Eng- lish at the University of Tor- onto. He was, passing through town to address a meeting of the Goderich branch of the Imperial Order Daughters' of the' Em- pire, of which. Mrs. Oakes is a member. The young Nigerian is attend- ing the Toronto university on a scholarship provided by the IODE, after completinghis B.A. in the University of . Ibadan, Nigeria. Following his expected gradu- ation in 1,964, Kalu will return home to instruct at the uni- versity, one of the stipulations of the scholarship. Having lived through one of the coldest Canadian winters on record, it was only natural that the young visitor would become initiated to some of the winter activities, and he pointed out he bad enjoyed learning to skate and had even attempted some skiing. "The winter wasn't too op- pressive," he explained, "but on some of the cold days I had to resort to staying in my room." "It was pretty hard to take the day it hit 10 degrees below zero," he added. He explained that in his na- tive country, in which he lives in the eastern section, the low- est temperature ever recorded was 40 degrees—above zero. Kalu reported that in the south of Nigeria the tempera- ture ranges from 72 to 85 de- grees, while in the semi-dessert area in. 'the north it ranges be- tween 50 and 107. Commenting farther on the difference of his native coun- try's climate and that in Can- ada, he said they have only two seasons in Nigeria. "It's either raining or it's not raining," he quickly added with a flash of his glistening smile. Average rainfall in the coun- try is about 80 inches. People Not Cold While he has found the win- ters in Canada to be extremely cold in comparison with Nig- eria, Kalu 'noted the people of Canada were much warmer. "They are very friendly," he stated, but added that as a visi- tor he still had to take the initiative to bring out their warmth. "They are reserved," he com- mented, "but certainly not as much as in England." Kalu explained that Canada was not a "strange" place to him in view of the fact Nigerian students are taught a great deal about the geography of this country in their schools. He noted that the average high school student in Nigeria knows much more about Can- ada than what the high school students in Canada know about Nigeria. "We are taught more about Canada than we are about our own country," he went on to ex- plain, saying that an extensive study of Nigeria was not given until students reached univer- sity level. Giving Canada a compliment, he said Nigerians were very proud of this country's leader- ship in the Commonwealth and his countrymen had been de- lighted with the stand taken by Canada over the South African question at the last Prime Min- isters' meeting. He noted that such unions were very strongly backed in Nigeria and the government in that country was doing every- thing possible to encourage the work of the United Nations. "It's a place for the leading powers to blow off steam," he said. "The longer you can keep them talking, the less chance, we will have of kt Although Nigeria follows a neutral stand on world affairs, be said he fullY expected they would stick with the Western .powers if trouble brplce. Rowever, at present they chastise both Russia and the United States when either one 'does :anything to , leopardize world peace, Hain reported that .communi, tam was only a recent develop, merit in Nigeria, as it had been prohibited in 1.854. All meet- ings and literature backing communism had been banned in the country. However, since they gained independence in the past few years, they have given more freedom and Russia now has an embassy in Nigeria. Pointing out they were still cautious about the spread of communism he noted the gov- eminent was taking precautions about something of which they know little. At present there are about' 40 students from Nigeria study- log.? in Russia and other com- munist countries, knit this is very small in comparison with the 4,000 studying in England; 2,000 in North America and many others in Norway, Sweden and West Germany, Need More Help Although he noted Canada and other countries were aiding his people, he said more could be done And hoped Canadians would feel they could make more of a sacrifice in aiding his country to improve its liv- ing standards, "They (Canada) could do more," he stated, He explained that there was a vast unevenness in the living standards in Nigeria, some people having a very high standard, while others very low. Kalu explained that many of the 40,000,000 people were underprivileged, but added that the problem was not hunger, as none is starving. He said the difficulty was that many people were under- nourished because they were ig- At Present, the foreign aid is being used to establish experi- mental farms and providing agriculture aid for farmers in. an effort to get them growing more and better crops on their land, An extensive program of training mothers in proper feed, ing for their children was also being established, and this is where the greatest peed is in Nigeria. Education is also being step- ped up in Nigeria and is pro- vided free and the young visi- tor noted the system compared favorably with that in Canada, considering the many advantag- es in this :country. Students in Nigeria study in the English language, most chi', dren learning it when they are about nine years of age. * The national radio system also aids considerably in provid- ing educational programs, Kahl himself was involved with this He said that doctors and law- yers also make speeches over the radio to give free advice to people who could net normally afford to pay. Kalu stated that practically everyone in Nigeria owns a radio, having bought Jap4nese models that sell for as low as $1,5. Some teaching is also done by television, although very, very peoplefew can afford sets for their own borne, "We get mostly old fashioned American, films," he stated. Speaking about religion, he said that most of the people in the southern section were Chris-tians, following the Baptist, Anglican, Presbyterian and Ro- man Catholic faiths. In the northern section, the people are primarily Moslems, In this section the women are if You're TIRED ALL THE TIME Now and then everybody gets a "lifecl,out u feeling, and -may he bothered by backache's..
