Endorsements[edit]

This section deserves some scrutiny. One of the refs is dead and one of the endorsements is entirely unsourced. No comment on the endorsement cited to PM News, as I am not overly familiar with Nigeria's media. This sub-section seems a little out of place, as far as neutrality goes, and probably deserves some discussion whether or not it is appropriate in the current format.
