TIME: 12:00 NOON

The Nigerian and American communities in Colorado witnessed members of National Council of Women Societies (NCWS) USA in their first ‘Taste of Nigeria’ event aimed at bringing together Nigerian women and their American counterparts, immigrants and refugees and the under-served in our communities to resolve issues affecting us as women, at the same time celebrate the great relationship between Nigeria and America..‘TASTE OF NIGERIA, 2012’

Primary focus:

•The event is aimed at strengthening our community involvement in making our city the best place to live, and to enjoy the diverse Nigerian culture.

•To promote and educate participants of the event, on the great culture of Nigeria in various areas (Economics, Leadership, Culture, History, Nutrition, Health Women and Society).

•To continue to promote peace and good neighborliness among Nigerians and Americans.

•To show Nigerian cultures from all ethnic groups and maintain our hospitality in a diverse community.

Facts from Taste of Nigeria:In 2008, 68% of the 80,800 refugees worldwide settled in the United States (Center of Disease Control and Prevention, 2010). Nigerians are the single largest contemporary African immigrant group in the United States. The USA has the world's second largest Nigerian community, only behind Nigeria itself. Colorado’s immigrant population makes up 10% of the total Colorado population. More Nigerians live in Aurora than any other city in Colorado. Nigerians in Colorado have distinguished themselves as great business entrepreneurs, professionals, sports men and women, politicians, educators and community leaders. According to the US Census Bureau, in 2000, 164,691 Nigerians were living in the United States (US Census, 2000). Nigeria is a country rich in culture.

With a focus on addressing the 2015 millennium goals, NCWS USA, believe it is essential that we actively participate in the promotion and education of culture, and also fostering our relationship with other organizations in our communities. Taste of Nigeria will provide a platform to disseminate practical and hands-on information, regarding steps to achieving great knowledge of African immigrants in our communities especially Nigerians.
