The Political Impasse in Nigeria.

When I first penned this article eleven months ago. The late president of Nigeria Umaru Yar'Adua was still hidden away in a hospital bed in Saudia Arabia and there was a political impasse of sorts going on as to his whereabouts and the nature of the ailment that had befallen him.
A year on and even though Nigeria has a new president in the erstwhile Vice-President Dr Goodluck Jonathan it seem that things are really not getting any better in Nigeria. With the most recent of three bomblasts coming as close as New Year's Eve one wonders the motive behind these senseless acts of terrorism.
Elections beckon in a few months and with no one really knowing what to expect. It will be interesting to see who will emerge the new President come May and what he will be governing?
