I am glad to read a NIgerian describe Wolfowitz' failings which made him unfit to head up the World Bank. No matter whether he was advocating good policies or not, the man has a corrupt history. My suspicion is also that his fight on "corruption" was targeted at specific countries and not a balanced one.

See, the Nigerian "public official" has figured out (just like 50 cent) that press coverage= political appointment, so they would find/ create anything to scrap about not like they need any excuses to be petty! It's a Naija thing man

Thats a good one and I continue to marvel at your efforts to keep track from yonder. It appears that no one wants to own up his mistake- you just backtrack, eat your words and life goes on as usual. but things will come to a head one day ...

In as as much as the whole Nigeria political landscape is a soap opera, the macabre characters are engaging one another in a show of shame; playing demi-gods and dancing to doomsday songs while Nigeria and it's people continues to slide down the slippery slope of govt misrule, corruption and the precipice of a failed state!

No you didn't mention my dear, but that makes two of us! It's such a big pity! I like the title of this post, it's really a political soap-opera.. I think Nigeria has such a long way to go i.e. towards the direction of ending this horror story. Barely 4 months into the new regime and we have this show of shame... I tire for 9ja sha...the very people who are supposed to fight to uphold and protect our democracy are the ones causing disintegration because of pettiness. I think they don't give a hoot about their public image, as do most Nigerians in power...They have it at the backs of their minds that the wind will blow over soon enough and they'll continue as before. Shame, Shame, Shame

Shame that socio-politico-economic issues in Nigeria have to be embodied by individuals (corruption=ribadu, moneny&banking =soludo, etc) and once these individuals begin to brush shoulders, the public, the media, and the individuals themselves overlook the issue and focus on the onfolding soap operas.

Thanks for trying to refocus us on the issues rather than the stellar cast!

Well said. Our politicians are yet to learn. Instead of pursuing the greater good of the nation, they are preoccupied with their individual self interests.
