What is the present political log-jam in Nigeria about?

The present political logjam in Nigeria is about the costitutional debate at the national assemblies on tenure extension which will give the present president another 4 years to rule.

I suspect it has something to do with the extreme prevalence of the 419 email scheme, which is most often associated with Nigeria. Honestly, I think I could find Nigeria on a map; other than that, the 419 scheme is the only thing I can tell you about Nigeria.

Devastating\nYou cannot imagine the amount of Nigerians who stow away, enter illegally intocountries all owver the world and bring ill repute to their country\nThey smuggle drugs intotheir country, smuggle all sorts of merchandise including Ghanian women and it is too bad for the Nigerian economy and Nigerian pride.

I know it is a country in Africa that has a huge population. Unfortunately, I have forgotten everything I learned about Nigeria in high school, so I don't have a special opinion. Every country has its bad and good sides.

Why is this in the politics section?

Political Problems.... politicians bickering over trivial matters not tackling the national issues. Politicians who are only thinking about the next upcoming elections.\n\nGraft and Corruption in the government.\nNegative mentality of the general masses.\nLack of support of the people for the Phil. Government.\nWeak and obsolete Constitution.

This is the second day after the arrest of the Florida 7 and already I have reservations about what is going on. Could be that it is strictly political because of the November elections. At the time of the writing  this, it looks more and more like an episode of the Keystone Cops and some innocent people may get hurt. I believe that more people should read Orwell's 1984 !

Nigeria gained independence on October 1, 1960 from the United Kingdom. It is currently a federal government.

Nigeria is currently divided into 36 states and one federal capital territory. Total 36+1 = 37 . The names are given below.\n\nBefore and after independence in 1960, Nigeria was a federation of three Regions: Northern, Western, and Eastern. In 1963, two provinces were detached from the Western Region to form the new Mid-Western Region. In 1967, the regions were replaced by 12 states; only the former Mid-Western Region escaped division, and formed a single state following the restructuring. From 1967 to 1970 the areas of Mid-Western State and the Eastern Region attempted to secede, as Biafra. In 1976, seven new states were created, making 19 altogether; the Federal Capital Territory (now called Abuja) was established also. In 1987 two new states were established, followed by another 10 in 1991, bringing the total to 31. The latest change, in 1996, resulted in the present number of 36 states.\n\nAbia \nAdamawa \nAkwa Ibom \nAnambra \nBauchi \nBayelsa \nBenue \nBorno \nCross River \nDelta \nEbonyi \nEdo \nEkiti \nEnugu \nGombe \nImo \nJigawa \nKaduna \nKano\nKatsina \nKebbi \nKogi \nKwara \nLagos \nNassarawa \nNiger \nOgun \nOndo \nOsun \nOyo \nPlateau \nRivers \nSokoto \nTaraba \nYobe \nZamfara \n\nAbuja Federal Capital Territory

Seems that what's going on in Yahoo Answers is not much different from what's going on out in the "real world" of politics these days, especially with Election day looming.  I am tired of seeing the candidates rip each other apart on tv commercials, already.  But here on-line....sometimes it's just a dandy place to practice the fine art of sarcasm and shake off the stress of the day.

Hurricane Katrina Disaster\nMess in Iraq\nWar in Iraq\nWar in Afghanistan\nIran has Nukes\nChina is the UN Humitarian Rights Commission (as well as Fidel Castro for that matter)\nHomeland Security has lost upwards of 4,000 uniforms, ID badges, and key cards\nBorder Crisis\nImmigration Crisis\nJob Rate plummets\nStock market on shakey ground\nHousing market about to burst\nRepublicans are fearful they will loose their seats this November...\n\nWhat else could possibly be more important than a gay marriage? Especially, if it guarantees those Republicans their congressional seat.\n\nThat completely excludes funny/creepy/strange things and the administrations mess.  Like Libby and the CIA leak...Cheney shooting his friend...Bush's nose hairs...etc.

seeing as how the Nigerian government is one of the most corrupt in Africa, I am not sure how anyone could believe they either manage or administrate anything let alone taxes. There is not even the simple rule of law in that horrible place. What bothers me is they have a vote in the UN like everyone else.

I have worked in Nigeria, it must be one of the most corrupt countries in the world, this has got to be down to the government, no matter how much income they get, or from whatever source, not much of it gets to the people that need it. So my answer is NO, only a massive shake up of the government. And we can't do anything about that can we?
