Someone:

* from a minority group,
* without name recognition,
* not extremely wealthy from corruption and/or 419
* without a long CV of political experience

can he be nominated by PDP, ANPP, AC etc

Why not, if not?
What needs to change for it to happen here.
I guess one can assume that since we all are rejoicing in the fact that it happened somewhere else, it means we see as a good thing, which we would love to also happen here, right?

The case of Obama can only happen in Nigeria only when the level of illiteracy in Nigeria is reduced. Only educated and enlightened people will want to vote you into any political office just because you are capable in their view. What we have been witnessing in Nigeria since the beginning of this democracy is voting because of candidates' tribes, party, etc.

If we want to achieve what America (especially African-Americans) achieved with Obama we should not relent in our efforts to be educated. Nigeria is now breeding bunch of illiterates and 'educated-illiterates' both from the majority and the minority groups. How do we then achieve the 'Obama' in Nigeria then?

LOL!!! Of course not. Maybe in 30 years or so when a higher proportion of our voting population is educated. But for now when I think of Nigeria I am almost moved to tears. Where do we even begin with this country of ours?
