Many Nigerians are worse off this Christmas than last year’s

It is obvious our refineries may not come on stream due to clear cut policy of not revamping them

This has been a bad year for the majority of Nigerians. We have been plunged into recession. Prices have soared and people are struggling for basic survival.

Dr Nkosazana Clarice Dlamini Zuma, 67, is the Chairperson of the African Union Commission and a leader of the ruling African National Congress, ANC. She was Minister of Health under President Nelson Mandela, and then Minister of Home Affairs. She married incumbent South African President Jacob Zuma. She is one of the best known South Africans, and many speculate she wants to take a shot at the country’s Presidency. Yet, she carries with pride, an Algerian passport!

WE knew it was coming but we did not know that it would come so soon – that an incumbent African leader would lose an election; and if he ever lost, that he would relinquish power peacefully.
