I was more than pleased. The Economist is great because it is so overwhelming. A full magazine, with very few advertisements, at your doorstep every seven days. It almost like an information super highway of some kind…

I couldn’t help but be inspired by The good, the bad and the president. Ribady and his department have been actively prosecuting corrupt officials in the Nigerian government. Even with the current hiccup, huge progess has been made.

While the American Presidential Primaries rage on with endless talk of “change” and “reform” one can’t help but wonder, “if Nigeria can pull it off, maybe we can too.”
