Taylor in-charge: Conqueror’s booty and sweet fruits of poisonous tree
   


Obasanjo won world leaders’ struggle over President Taylor

Nigerian President Obasanjo, older fox outsmarted other world leaders and lured his friend into exile with promises of safety in his domain.  One secret catch though: “you have to come with a lot of those booty, the more the better”. Taylor, under siege, cornered and foolish fell for it. He allegedly went to Nigeria with planeload of hard currencies and expensive natural resources. Taylor was a good business bonanza for Nigeria leadership especially President Obasanjo, Governor Duke of Cross River State, the security hierarchy and their cronies.
