Yar’Adua has NOT improved democracy

So, just because horses did not go insane and devour each others' meat while they are still alive when Yar'Adua handed over (or did he?) does not mean he improved Nigerian style democracy.

Is the title ludicrous? Yes, it is. I do not see any of the arguments here supporting the title.

In fact, on the ground, in Nigeria and abroad, Yar'Adua and his absence appeared to have had the reverse effect. Nigeria has become irrelevant. What does that mean? Go figure.

EDITORS’ COMMENT: When one reads the article and not just the title, you realise the intended irony of the title.
