Dhameystir weedha soo socota: In kasta oo doorashooyinkii keenay Obasanjo xukunka iyo muddo xileedkii labaad ee doorashadii madaxtinimada ee 2003-dii lagu cambaareeyay inay yihiin kuwo aan xor ahayn oo aan caddaalad ahayn, Nigeria waxay muujisay horumar muuqda oo ku saabsan isku dayga wax ka qabashada musuqmaasuqa dowladda iyo dardargelinta horumarka. Dagaalka qowmiyadeed ee lagu doonayo in lagu xakameeyo gobolka shidaalka soo saara ee Niger Delta iyo
dagaalka waqooyi bari waa qaar ka mid ah arimaha ka taagan wadanka. Umaru Yar'Adua oo ka tirsan Xisbiga Dimuqraadiga ee Dadka ayaa xukunka qabtay doorashadii guud ee 2007. Beesha caalamku, oo indha indheyn ku haysay doorashooyinka Nigeria si ay ugu dhiirrigeliso geedi socod xor iyo caddaalad ah, ayaa ku cambaareysay doorashadan inay tahay mid aad u qaldan. Madaxweyne Olusegun Obasanjo ayaa qiray khiyaanooyinka iyo "khaladaadka" kale ee doorashada laakiin wuxuu sheegay in natiijada ay ka tarjumeyso ra'yi ururin. Khudbad uu ka jeediyay telefishanka qaranka sanadkii 2007, wuxuu intaas ku daray in haddii dadka reer Nigeria aysan jeclayn guushii uu ku guuleystay, ay fursad u heli lahaayeen inay mar kale codeeyaan afar sano gudahood. Yar'Adua wuxuu dhintay May 5, 2010. Goodluck Jonathan ayaa loo dhaariyay inuu yahay bedelka Yar'Adua, isagoo noqday madaxa 14-aad ee dowladda. Jonathan wuxuu ku guuleystay doorashadii madaxtinimada ee 2011, iyadoo warbaahinta caalamiga ah ay ku wargelisay doorashadii inay si habsami leh u dhacday iyadoo rabshado aad u yar ama khiyaano codbixiyeyaal ah, taas oo ka duwan doorashadii hore.
