SUBJECT: NIGERIA OIL POLITICS PUBLIC DIPLOMACY A HUGE SUCCESS 
 
1.  Summary:  Mission Nigeria's Political and Public Affairs 
Sections hosted artist, playwright, and former Fulbright Scholar Dan 
Hoyle to perform his critically acclaimed "Tings Dey Happen" one-man 
play on oil politics, militancy, and corruption in the Niger Delta. 
Hoyle performed in five Nigerian cities a unique form of public 
diplomacy which showcased America's willingness to promote honest 
and meaningful dialogue on important issues.  Nigerian audiences 
praised Hoyle and the USG for sponsoring the program, which they 
said opened a new door to understand and contemplate the people and 
events of the Niger Delta.  End Summary. 
2.  PolOff began seeking ways to incorporate a public diplomacy 
component to POL's anti-corruption campaign that promoted promoting 
transparency and accountability in Nigeria's oil sector.  POL and 
PAS agreed to host Dan Hoyle, former Fulbright Scholar at the 
University of Port Harcourt (2005-2006) and fluent pidgin speaker, 
to perform his one-man show, "Tings Dey Happen," in Nigeria for the 
first time. 
3.  Using I-bucks, PAS Abuja and Lagos funded Hoyle's performances 
under the Strategic Speakers Initiative, and worked with Nigerian 
partners, mostly former International Visitor Leadership Program 
alumni, to host Hoyle in American Corners, national museums, 
universities, and community centers in Calabar, Lagos, Bauchi, Jos, 
and Abuja.  Hoyle also conducted theatre workshops for students and 
others in these cities with the National Museum - Calabar (Calabar), 
the National Association of Nigerian Theatre Arts Practitioners 
(Lagos), the University of Lagos (Lagos), the Development Exchange 
Center (Bauchi), the Jos Film Institute (Jos), and the Cyprian 
Ekwenzie Center for the Arts (Abuja). 
4.  To encourage meaningful discussion after the shows, invitations 
focused on achieving a diverse audience, reaching out to 
non-traditional Mission contacts.  From okada (motorcycle) and taxi 
drivers to governors and oil industry executives, audiences 
represented a true cross section of Nigerians.  Other invitees 
included university students, academics, labor union leaders, 
journalists, former militants, actors, human rights and civil 
society organizations, anti-corruption activists, and military 
officials.  Hoyle reached another audience through his appearances 
on two of Nigeria's most popular morning television programs, 
Channels Television's "Sunrise" show in Lagos and Africa Independent 
Television's (AIT) "Kakaki" show in Abuja. 
5.  An estimated 1,200 Nigerians attended Hoyle's performances. 
Reactions ranged from astonishment at his command of several 
dialects of pidgin to reflective debate during the interactive 
question and answer sessions.  Audiences praised Hoyle for the 
show's poignancy and ability to honor the people in the Niger Delta 
by sharing their realities with other Nigerians.  One audience 
member in the northern city of Bauchi told Hoyle that he had "opened 
up a new door to view, understand, and contemplate the people and 
events in the Delta, which most of us Nigerians in the north are not 
aware of."  He praised Hoyle for "understanding the realities and 
complexities of the region more than Nigerians themselves." 
6.  In Calabar, one person said he was "deeply moved how an American 
can teach us so much about ourselves, and at the same time, teach us 
about the openness and courage of Americans like Dan, who are 
Qabout the openness and courage of Americans like Dan, who are 
willing to go to the Niger Delta to listen to our story."  The 
performances also elicited frequent praise for the USG for 
sponsoring the show.  At Hoyle's final performance in Abuja, one 
member of the audience said he "applauds the American Embassy for 
addressing such important issues through the medium of drama and 
art." 
7.  Comment:  Hoyle's tour coincided with the successful conclusion 
of the GON's amnesty program for Niger Delta militants, a timely 
contribution to the national debate on a subject of paramount 
importance to both the USG and Nigeria.  End Comment.
