Baba Go Home!

Nigerian lawmakers today, began to file lawsuits against current president, Umaru Yar'Adua, or "Baba Go Slow". President Yar'Adua has been in the hospital in Saudi Arabia for the past six weeks following a bout of picarditis, an inflamation of the heart. Because of this, the Nigerian government has been in gridlock. Technically every decision made over the past six weeks is illegal, and the Supreme Court cannot even be sworn in for its new term. I am supporting the moves made by the Nigerian Lawyer's Association and urge president Yar'Adua to step down. In his place will be current vice president, Goodluck Jonathan. If this happens, it is likely to create ethnic and religious tensions, as according to Nigerian law, the President must be from the north and the Vice President must be from the south. Although I do not think that a presidency of Jonathan would get Nigeria through its problems. I believe that a radical revolution or coup is necessary to save Nigeria. Currently, nearly all of Nigeria's natural resources are owned by imperliast western nations. The average Nigerian will not see their share of there nations natural resources until at least the year 2020. The actions western nations have imposed upon the Nigerian people are atrocious. Nigerians liberate yourselves from western imperialism!
