The Return of 'Maradona' For Nigerian Presidency
This week marked the open declaration by Nigeria's former military President, Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (IBB), to contest for Presidency next year. The indignation of the broad political spectrum wasd captured in this editorial article by Levi Obiojofor of the Guardian this morning. what was however glaringly missing in that Levi's Trojan Horse article is that, the accumulated disappointment that the current Obasanjo leadership represents is what triggers the re-emergence of mockery that IBB represents in our political horizon.

Mega Fraud; Mega Shares Aquisition
The controversy that has trailed the acqisition and ownership of 200 million shares in blind trust, by President Obadanjo, in TRANSCORP Plc. is still raging, in fact The Guardian Newspapers has thrown and made it a subject of public opinion poll in which over 77% of the sample poll of Nigerians are opposed to it. we bring you this short piece by Aderemi Ojikutu from there.
"The tagicomedian leadership of the Nigerian polity was sealed by this unethical intrusion into TRANSCORP affairs by OBJ. The ruling class that had potrayed the OBJ 'anti-corruption' crusade as the best thing to have happened to Nigeria has gone into hiding.
We can now see better that the dog is speedily returning to its vomit. In order to get back to the nauseating act, they had to hastily remove and dump clean fellows like Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, who would have been an obstacle to that shameful reversal.
Salvation is neither in the military, God is our help in these times of trouble. God can and would stem the determined slide by OBJ & co. into the mire of ignominy that they want to drag Nigeria into at the tail end of their rule."
