Impossible Dream?

Nuhu Ribadu is a man who most of us have never heard of, but he may become one of the most important men in African history ..... but only if two things happen to come about.
  1. He has to turn out to be what no one before him has has proved to be ..... an honest Nigerian politician, and
  2. He has to win the Presidents Office in the 9 April elections.
Now these are 'Big Ifs' in Nigeria ..... but imagine if Black Africa's largest state suddenly became less corrupt, and its politicians started working for the common good and not their own enrichment?

Africa could be transformed ..... in case you are wondering, Mr Ribadu is the former head of Nigeria's anti-fraud police, and he bought more than a thousand cases against politicians and tycoons accused of corruption.



I won't hold my breath, but as a regular critic of African politics and the corruption that blights the continent, I would be churlish not to support any possible hope for a change. So lets hope that 'Two Big Ifs'come true!
