Nigeria is a democracy - The president is Olusegun Obasanjo.  Although, maybe he is trying to turn Nigeria back into a monarchy - there are rumors that he will try to change the constitution to allow him to run for a third term as president.

The supermacy of the law must be respected in any democratic country, and the superme power to change the constitution of a nation should lie in the hands of the its citizens of course through the ballot boxes.\n\nI think Obasanjo should learn a lesson from Ukarine and Nepal the other week. Time has change for dictatorship and political greed. Nigerians should not give their freedom to greed politicians and they have to stand against such act of selfishness.\n\nHe was give the opportunity to reing in power by his people, he should appreciate that and step aside the issue of a third term. Nigerians, don't give your political freedom back to the dictators. There is a need to tell them that you elected them but now no one will cast his/her vote if he goes for a third term.\n\nI think the solution is simple you have to say no to a third term and if it happens you go for no Obasanjo.

Verdict of History\nThis Day (Lagos), 18 October 2000\nLagos—Last weekend former military president, Gen. Ibrahim Babangida, came on the centre stage, once again. In Jos, Plateau State his associates put together a three-day symposium with the theme, The Babangida Regime: Problems and Perspectives of Interpretation. \n\nAt the symposium were those men who served in Babangida's government. Leading the orchestra was the then chief of general staff turned vice president, Admiral Augustus Aikhomu. Then there were Hamza Abdullahi, Alex Akinyele and Uche Chukwumerije, all ministers in that government. There were also retired military officers some of whom did say they could follow Babangida to battle blindfolded - John Shagaya, John Inienger, Tunji Olurin, etc. Not left out were palace advisers like Sam Oyovbaire and a coterie of court historians. The purpose of the symposium was simple - to defend the programmes and policies of the Babangida administration, revise the nation's history and reposition the self- styled Maradona as a leader with vision. \n\nThe temptation was there to ignore the symposium considering the fact that the participants therein were yesterday's men who have been so completely forgotten, if not irrelevant, that they are today looking for attention and relevance. A symposium to reclaim Babangida if not the devil himself could only provide a convenient platform to get the needed attention. But then Babangida's signature was too prominent on the symposium to be ignored. The former president was not physically present at the symposium; he delivered a dinner speech entitled, We have reengineered Nigeria. A master of philosophical obfuscation, Babangida attempted very strongly to explain away the present democratic dispensation as the consummation of his administration's vision and the realisation of its goals. Nigeria is today a democracy. I am happy... that our vision for which I had invested all of my energy and tasked my colleagues even beyond endurance, has been fulfilled, he asseverated in self-glorification. \n\nBabangida made some other claims. He said his government did not deliberately go out of its way to abridge anybody's rights. Whenever an infringement of rights occurred, it must have been an error, not deliberate. He said his vision was to build a democracy that would endure. He asserted that his presidency has changed Nigeria irrevocably, that the country has been so reengineered that today we all live in a new Nigeria. He contented that his regime faced so many challenges some of which generated the kind of momentum that were neither fathomable nor within human control. Statecraft in essence is about taking decisions and solving problems. Both require courage, resolve and nerves; but more especially foresight and fortitude, Babangida said. He gave the impression that while he was not lacking in all these, his administration did make some mistakes, just as any mortal would have done. In accepting responsibility for every mistake of his government, he said he expects the understanding and magnanimity of Nigerians. In every line of his speech Babangida valiantly tried to rewrite history, using a combination of half-truths, meaningless phrases and outright lies. \n\nBabangida's desperation is hardly surprising. Throughout his eight-year reign, he was very concerned with his place in history. Everything he did and said he had an eye on the verdict of history. Luckily for him, as military president he had enormous goodwill. He charmed the nation with his toothy smiles and confused the people with the constant twists and turns in his social engineering policies that Nigerians practically ate from his hands. But then Babangida mistook his heroism for immortality; he assumed that popularity was synonymous with sainthood. He overreached himself, dribbled the people once too many and annulled the June 12, 1993 presidential elections. It is a measure of Babangida's perfidy tha

Well, I'll admit my knowledge of West Africa isn't exactly top-notch, but my first thought when I hear Nigeria is the 419 email scheme. (See source for more info.) Not exactly a great PR booster.

Nelson Mandela WAS the most famous but hello he isn't the president of S.A any longer. I think probably Robert Mugabe or thabo Mbeki.

He will try to flee.  Nigeria does not have him under house arrest.  He could run for it.  Under a UN resolution, he is not allowed to leave Nigeria, but has been traveling all accross Africa in violation of the resolution.  Nigeria agreed to hand him over for trial, but has not arrested him.
