It may seem like an anomaly, but President Goodluck Jonathan of
Nigeria and President Barack Obama have much in common on matters of
political leadership and the direct impact of their respective
administrations on the day-to-day issues affecting hundreds of
millions of people they were elected to serve.

Leid Stories examines the startling similarities between the two
statesmen, whose administrations are now partners in an international
effort to find 276 girls kidnapped at night from their dormitories by
the Islamist extremist group Boko Haram on April 14 and still in the
hands of their captors.

Dr. Chika Onyeani, publisher and editor in chief of The African Sun
Times, is our guest.

First Lady Michelle Obama, on Saturday (May 10), the eve of Mother’s
Day, made an impassioned speech from the White House deploring the
Nigerian girls’ kidnapping, focusing on their dedication to their
education. Leid Stories comments on the irony of her speech.

From Detroit, Abayomi Azikiwe, editor of the Pan-African News Wire and
Detroit organizer for the Moratorium NOW! Coalition, reports from
bankruptcy court on today’s hearing on creditors’ objections to the
city’s controversial bankruptcy-exit plan.
