Shettima, sports, and Boko Haram, an unscripted encounter!

I know Kashim Shettima, the vice president-elect of Nigeria, but not well enough to say much about him beyond my single physical encounter with the man, and a few telephone calls later, in the course of a story that must be told, not for any political reasons, but because it will throw a little light on the persona of the man.
