I am a woman going to a small village on the Niger Delta in Southern Nigeria and am concerned about what type of clothes to bring with me. Are there specific cultural sensitivities I should be aware of? As I have never travelled outside of Canada, I am not sure what other cultures wear.

There's no cultural sensitivities to be "aware" of. You don't need to cover your head or anything silly like that. You'd only have to worry about that if you went to Northern Nigeria, where the Hausa's are. The south is liberal and very open.
As for packing a gun, I wouldn;t suggest it. If you get caught and locked up, even Amnesty Intl won't be able to save you, for a while at least.

None of my business, really, but why on Earth is an otherwise sensible woman going to southern Nigeria? I've been there and would NOT recommend it.

I'm thinking you're probably an engineer or with the oil companies,so the gun won't be necessary because if caught,you'd be killed and unless your family makes a whole hoopla about it,NOBODY will ever know.
That was funny though AND YOU CAN'T GET A GUN THROUGH THE AIRPORT
