Misguided Anger: The Myopic Reasoning of the Nigerian Elite

I am not a supporter or fan of OBJ and may never be. However, I believe that a presumptive analysis of his actions is premature and lacking good judgment by those that have continued to criticize him without all the details on why he chose his cause of action...
