The above heading is how a report on CNN’s iReport is headed. It is a sad reflection of the times. At this moment, nobody knows what has happened to the President of Nigeria, a country that touts itself as the ‘Giant’ of Africa. It is almost fifty days now or more since the President went ‘missing’ and still no clarification as to the status of his health – is he dead or is he alive? Those who seek to take advantage of this situation and use it to cause problems in Nigeria would tell you that he is still alive and well and they are in constant touch with him. But I fear that the opposite might be true, he might be dead and gone to the great beyond – who knows? Anyway, read the report and see what you make of it here.
