Could this be a backlash if so Why?

The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has declared Musiliu Obanikoro as unfit to be a minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in view of what it called “the prominent role” he played in the Ekiti state election scandal which was recently exposed by Captain Sagir Koli.
The students made their position known yesterday during a protest they staged in Ikeja, the Lagos state capital.

Led by the NANS Vice President (External Affairs) Ogunkuade Oluwatosin, the students called on Obanikoro to take perpetual leave of politics and leadership aspirations in Nigeria, saying his actions have not only destroyed the fabric of democracy but also eroded the hopes of Nigerian students that the ideal of democracy will ever be celebrated in the country.

Oluwatosin also denied rumours that Nigeria students have endorsed President Goodluck Jonathan for the election, explaining that the meeting convened by Jude Imagwe, the senior special assistant to President Jonathan on students and youths, was attended only by some selected youths and a minute fraction of the NANS executive.
He wondered why any right-thinking Nigerian student would endorse President Jonathan for a second term, drawing attention to the deaths recorded in student communities, especially in the northeastern and northwestern parts of Nigeria, as well as the numerous strikes which have adversely affected academic stability in the country.

Inside The Ibadan ritual camp

Image
     IBADAN, the Oyo State capital, has of late been in the news for not very good reasons. In what could easily pass as a scene from a horror film, a slave camp was discovered in the heart of the city.               This camp where unspeakable horrors have been committed apparently combined the functions of a shrine with that of a home or a transit camp where captives were randomly raped and offered up for rituals after vital organs have been taken out of their body.                                                        The Ibadan camp of horror brings under one roof the cannibal practice of Clifford Orji and the blood-chilling sacrifices and oath-taking of Okija. Like Orji’s one-man practice, the site was located in a city but like the Okija shrine, the camp was enveloped in a wilderness...
