Can things get worse? Given the amount of oil in that country, one should wonder.
The current president is a Muslim, but he seems to be out of the picture - hospitalized with some ailment that may make his return impossible. That means the Vice President would take office.
Simple enough, we understand this process. Except, the VP is a Christian named ... ready ... Goodluck Jonathan. So Mr. Jonathan would be the president, and as a Christian, this could throw Nigeria into chaos. Why? Because the people of peace feel oppressed anytime a Christian comes along and this time in Nigeria is not much different. And when they get going - they tend to get very upset, which translates to chaos.
So far - nothing is happening. The VP hasn't stepped up, and the Prez is still unavailable.
With all that oil ... ??? AND the fact extremists have been recruiting from Nigeria ... can we take that chance. Nigeria falling to an extremist Islamic wave of terror.
