Dad, Mom
For a very long time, we have been asking what happened to the new democracy we got back from the military in 1999. Somehow, we got the wrong players herded by the worst kind of "democrats"! The rest, as you elders say, is history. Now, we are rebuilding our democracy and we seem to have found TWO good hands slaving in the trenches: President Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan and INEC Chairman Professor Attahiru Jega. I say they are patriots.
All events leading up to the 2011 elections are dramatic, will be dramatic, and even more dramatic, as we proceed. They will also give us enough trauma for our lethargy, before releasing upon us the soothing balm and tranquility we so richly deserve! I am thrilled.
You won't believe how so bad things have gone in this land, Dad, even with the high and mighty. No-one is sleeping with both eyes closed anymore - even in military barracks! Can you beat that? Sad. All these challenges are self-made, self-inflicted. No question. So, we say to our leaders: If you no fit go, comot road! So far, they've resisted. Not anymore - 2011 is the beginning of the last bus-stop. And e don dey happen! See the party primaries.
This build-up is warming my heart. Why? Because we have the best chance of changing our leaders and their spinners and their cabals and their fronts and their goons nationwide. It is even pitting families against themselves already. Change is in the air, change is creeping upon this long-traumatized land! Inexorably.
In a few weeks, we will dawn in a new democracy - A New NIGERIA!
Pray for us.
Love YOU Both
Dayo
