BBC: First female governor in Nigeria

First female governor in Nigeria

Virginia Etiaba has been sworn in as Nigeria's first female governor after Anambra state legislature impeached Peter Obi for gross misconduct.

She had been deputy governor in the south-eastern state and initially refused to take the position.

Mr Obi said he would not leave office and civil rights groups have criticised the whole process as unconstitutional.

A BBC correspondent says the battle could get more volatile if supporters of the two sides take to the streets.

1. MAN OH MAN what in the hell do you have to do to get impeached in Nigeria?

Wasn't corruption invented there 30,000 years ago when one caveman sold another one a cave that didn't exist?
