Few weeks ago, the oracle of Nigerian politics, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo was in nearby Ghana as head of an Ecowas delegation monitoring the Ghanian presidential elections. As herculean as the task of election-monitoring was, Baba still found time to thrill spectators with Gangnam style, a dance style popularised by korean music star Psy, which mimicks one riding a horse, alternately holding the reins and spinning a lasso, and moving into a legs-shuffling side gallop. Click to watch Obasanjo thrilling his watchers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=X99NUc0pLuQ
