Nigeria's 419 Election: Ny Times View by babasin(m): 5:14pm On Apr 26, 2007
While Nigerians are busy having problem understanding difference between fantasy and reality, this is the most objective of this 419 of election.

Most of the blame for this disgrace goes to Nigeria's outgoing president, Olusegun Obasanjo, who tried to amend the Constitution to be able to run for a third term and has since been willing to manipulate Nigeria's fragile democracy to keep his party in power.

Like it or not, the way you are seen by the outside uninterested party is usually the most objective view of who are!

Nigeria's elctions from April14-21st, were a travesty, debacle and mockery of the political and democratic process.
Even Mugabe of Zimbabwe could not done worse.
