I want to add two great links, the first one I found to be really helpful in getting a really quality and quick overview of Nigeria:

Resistance Politics: An Essay On Nigerian Politics By Igho NatufeNatufe

This other one has several links to the accomplishments and failures of Nigeria's outgoing President Obusanjo, who presided for 8 years as a democratic President:

www.ngrguardiannews.com - Guardian Newspapers

If this search ever become invalid, you can go to the source and in the search field, type in "Obusanjo legacy."

Economic Analysis on the Obsuanjo presidency: The NESG®:: News | Press Release
