ABUJA, Nigeria – Nigeria's parliament empowered Vice President Goodluck Jonathan to run Africa's most populous nation Tuesday in place of an ill and absent president, striving for a political end to a crisis that ground the government to a virtual halt and triggered the resumption of an insurgency in the vital oil sector.
But the move is not contemplated in the constitution, legal experts say, and could cause more friction between the Christian south, which gains the presidency at least temporarily, and Muslim north, which finds itself out of the seat of power.
Jonathan told the nation in a televised address Tuesday night that he had assumed power as acting president and commander in chief of the country of 150 million people. He urged all Nigerians to continue to pray for elected President Umaru Yar'Adua, who left Nigeria for Saudi Arabia on Nov. 23.

He looks like he is in the Lagoswood remake of “Sugar Hill” in that photo.
I think it was 128 million 3 years ago. Now 150?
What a place ...good luck, anybody even attempting to make order out of the rabble that is Nigeria will need all they can get. Nothing short of divine intervention could render that place sane or habitable.
Silly, Muslims don’t need a specific reason to slaughter Christians!
That’s Wesley Snipes !

That’s what I thought too.. a dead ringer.
