Nigeria’s shaky balance of power takes a hit as new president is sworn in

Umaru Yar’Adua’s death may spark a political battle between the Muslim north and the Christian south. Goodluck Jonathan, a southerner, succeeds Yar’Adua, who is from the north.

At this stage, it appears that Nigeria will probably avoid the coming conflict between the final Greco-Roman King of the North and Arab-Islamic King of the South. Its “zoning policy”, though may be stretched passed the limit, so this is not for sure.

Ultimately, those in Africa will.
