See The Only Street In America With A Nigerian Name [PHOTOS]
With background sounds of heavy traffic, You're
hearing the intersection of 44th Street and 2nd
Avenue in New York City.
The northeast corner of this intersection is
significant to the Nigeria story for two reasons.
First, it is the site of Nigeria's mission to the United
Nations and their New York consulate. Second, the
New York City Council has renamed this corner
Kudirat Abiola Corner.
To understand the significance of Kudirat Abiola we
have to go back to 1993, the last time Nigeria
experimented with democracy. Kudirat's husband,
Moshood Abioloa, ran for President and he won
but the election was annuled by the then head of
state Ibrahim Babangida
