Indeed. And yet, this may say something about Nigeria as well, that Akinola felt free to chastise the president.

Oh, I don't know .... John the Baptist said much the same sort of thing to Herod.

Of course, Akinola's most pressing problems have less to do with economic reform, or Obasanjo turning up late, than they do with the increasingly violent Nigerian Islamic groups, who are seeking to impose sharia(sp) law in that country. The real question is how an episode like this will affect Obasanjo's willingness to do something about it.
