Suddenly piles and loads and millions upon millions of moneys are being discovered in water tanks, in dry soak aways, in unoccupied slum buildings and in stylish most expensive sky scrapers. These are not really discoveries. After all, somebody or some people put such moneys where they are being discovered. The discoveries are being made by institutions set up to combat corruption and abuse of office in high places. The figures are mind-bugling! Fifty million US dollars. Thousands of British pounds. Billions of Nigerian naira. And Euros in their millions are here reposing in unhealthy closeness to one another. Naturally, ordinary Nigerians marvel at the discovery of these humongous sums of money. They wonder what these sums could do to restore hospital to our empty buildings labelled hospitals. They imagine what magic they could do to our wretched motor paths, turning them instead to motor ways. And our decrepit public universities could breathe better with 21st century university...

French voters go to the polls Sunday after a presidential election campaign that was noteable for its volatility and overshadowed in its final days by a terror attack on police in Paris. While there are 11 names on the ballot, only four leading contenders are seen as having a realistic prospect of making it through to the second round of voting. They are far-right National Front leader Marine Le Pen, scandal-hit conservative François Fillon, centrist newcomer  Emmanuel Macron  and far-left wildcard Jean-Luc Mélenchon. The top two in Sunday's vote will face off on May 7 for the second and final round of voting. Latest polls suggest the results are too close to call, meaning France could end up with a choice between candidates from the far-left and far-right, or a far-right stalwart facing off against a political novice. With such a fractured field, no one is expected to win a majority in Sunday's first round. Benoit Hamon is the mainstream left-wing Socialist Party nom...
