Consider these:

For a very long time American Presidents were sworn-in on March 4, the day of the year in which the Constitution of the United States first took effect in 1789; the last inauguration to take place on the older date was Franklin D. Roosevelt’s first one on March 4, 1933.

In Nigeria, the Presidential Advisory Committee headed by Lt. Gen. Theophilus Danjuma was sworn-in on March 4, 2010.

John Quincy Adams was President of the USA from March 4, 1825 to March 4, 1829. The letters that make up Theophilus Danjuma can also spell “John Adams” – the name of the sixth American President.

By the power of the National Assembly, following the absence of now-late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua from November 23, 2009, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan became Acting President of Nigeria on February 9, 2010 – the anniversary of the election (February 9, 1825) of John Adams by the American House of Representatives due to the inconclusive elections of November 3, 1824.

Also, Joe Biden, U.S. Vice President, and Goodluck Jonathan, Nigerian President, were both born on November 20, 1942 and 1957 respectively.

That is not all. U.S. President Barack Obama, from Chicago, the architectural capital of the world, was born in August – same as Architect Namadi Sambo, Nigerian Vice President; precisely August 4, 1961 (Obama) and August 2 1952 (Sambo).

Interesting coincidences, indeed!
