Situation in Nigeria Seems Pretty Complex

Tried to post this video, but no such luck. If you've never heard of The Onion, it's a satirical publication that has apparently branched out to video/internet media and it's frickin' hilarious! This fictitious panel discusses the situation in Nigeria...or tries to. The last thirty seconds are priceless! $50 to the person who can tell me why the moderator keeps calling our esteemed leaders Umaru Yar'Adooya and Eebrahim Babandiduh.

I should actually write something one of these days. I could have sworn that's what this blog was supposed to be for....

Ahh, yes, the joys of the Onion...They keep mispronouncing both names because they are attempting to ascend to a position of cleverness perhaps just a leeetle beyond their reach! It is a common problem when people try and skewer African politics. They are cute though, aren't they? :)
