RE: EKITI GUBER ELECTION - Much ado about nothing! Whoever losses losses. Heavens will not fall. We are all Nigerians. Nobody can intimidate another. You rig, you roast applies to both sides. Nobody has a monopoly of Violence. Both PDP and AC threaten violence should one or other lose. Should a single shot be fired from either side tomorrow, the Federal Govt should not hesitate to declare STATE OF EMERGENCY. But I have no doubt that Prof Maurice Iwu, a patriotic, fair minded Nigerian, will declare a true winner no matter whose horse is gored. (But he himself is currently under the heat!)

Its okay in a Democracy for non-career Diplomatic personnel (indeed anybody) to demand and lobby for a raise. Abi, you want them to go on strike? Their approach is the CIVILISED way to do things and it is unfortunate that this writer doesn't just get it.
