Our Masters Have Gone Crazy Again chronicles the tenure of one of
Africa's most dreaded dictators and terrorists, Ibrahim Badamasi
Babangida, a.k.a, IBB. It details the political, social, and
economic policies of the former ruler of Africa's most populous
nation, Nigeria. A self-described "evil genius," Babangida led
Nigerians through a tortuous and deceptive political and economic
transition that ended in a coup d'etat. Perhaps because of his
craftiness, it wasn't until the end of his military career that the
dictator's ruthlessness and lust for power became obvious. This
volume answers most of the unresolved questions about the man known
as Maradona by Nigerians. This nickname arose from his widely known
skills at cheating and diverting in the same manner as Argentinean
soccer genius, Diego Maradona, who infamously cheated to earn
victory over England in the 1986 World Cup. Author Abejide Olusegun
examines the dictator's purported involvement in the murders of
Dele Giwa, Ken Saro Wiwa, Mama Vasta, and many others, along with
his frequent detention of late legal luminary, Gani Fawehinmi, and
his connection to the corrupt Bank of Credit and Commerce
International (BCCI). Our Masters Have Gone Crazy Again attempts
answer some of the riddles surrounding IBB and raise questions
about any role he may have in Nigeria's future.
