"It was as if we experienced an eclipse of the sun" - the daughter of a famous Nigerian politician describes the loss of her father.

Extraordinary personal stories from around the world: today, we hear from Hafsat Abiola-Costello, whose politician father Moshood Abiola stood for president of Nigeria in 1993. It was widely assumed he had won, but the military annulled the election and when he tried to take office he was thrown in jail. He died in prison in 1998. Also, following the recent shooting at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin, we hear from a lawyer about the challenges of being a Sikh in post 9/11 America.
