NIGERIA'S PRESIDENTIAL INAUGURATION

THE KODAK MOMENTS

Here are the FLICKS from the Presidential Inauguration. A big thanks to freelance photographer Johny Greig for providing the lovely pictures. You ROCK Johnny. Please do not reuse or repost any of these pictures without permission. I will be back with juicy details and commentary on the event. WOW!!! GUYS LIKE JOKE LIKE JOKE ... WE HAVE A NEW PRESIDENT O. And there were no RIOTS, mass killing, religious or tribal conflict just a rigged election. Boy can I live with that or what!?! It's an odd feeling and quite surreal because as a Nigerian you've grown up never knowing if these things will happen. Anyways let me know what you think about the pictures and if you have trouble accessing them.

Meanwhile looks like the folks over at BBC spend a lot of time on our dear Naija blogville. Check out this article on BBC.COM. Hmh... what does that say about our blog world. Can we become a voice to reckon with on issues and Nigerian politics in the international arena?

Yes, you are right; there were no riots, mass killings etc. I call it indifference, that quaint condition that most Nigerians have. Good thing or bad thing? Who knows…

Nice pictures Addy, yes O! i'm beginning to believe that blogsville and other Naija sites like the village square are gradually becoming the voice of nigerians in the diaspora

I guess like me, most people have had a lackadaisical attitude towards this new government. What can we do? He was selected and mounted as president. Now what?

Hey, are you going to post anything about your Uncle Jeff being fired from/leaving CNN? What's the deal with that?

I think it's more of people being tired of the whole thing.

Was kind of proud of the whole bbc thing

Awesome photos! The cobra photo is quite scary. I think this one trick the Late crocodile hunter would never have attempted..You know that critter in the mans mouth is just about as jazzed up as the beads on its handlers neck...
