Follow @NewNigerian This picture puts a perspective on Nigeria that many books may fail to equal. It describes the current state, while also revealing a previous reality that has been superimposed upon by a new anti-reality. Let’s start with the white-ish house; rain washed and suffering from an invasion of moss. In a previous life,…
After the storm there must be a calm Time has passed since the Obasanjo government launched out on its escapade of the third-term, a slippery route that has seen the likes of Yoweri Museveni and Robert Mugabe spending an eternity as sentinels on the road to the progress of their people.

A Pax Americana Beginning Annum Domini 2003 At least that is what the Americans would like to have, anyway.
