| Re: Before The Showdown In Ekiti Yes.. This election might turn out to be a catalyst for the beginning of the demise of the PDP, a sort of staggered revolution (if there ever was such a thing) or it may turn out to be another normal election in nigeria, characterised by violence, rigging, and ballot snatching. Either way, this election is going to be very important when people look back at the history of Nigeria...
After all previous disappointments with Nigeria, I consciously decided, sometime ago to avoid any sentiments that projected any form of optimism in any matter concerning Nigeria to save myself the constant hurt and disappointment and let-downs I have felt for the country of my birth.
Sometime after that (can't remember when exactly), my disposition hardened from cautious pessimism to downright cynicism.
So as I search for something to pull myself out of this unbearable state, a reason to change my disposition which though a burden, nevertheless a disposition gained through experience, the type of which there is no other; I permit myself a tiny bit of optimism because I have a feeling that all good meaning Nigerians recognise that this is a pivotal moment in the history of Nigeria. The world is watching and the future of the Nigerian State is very much at stake. For those in Ekiti state, you may count yourselves lucky that fortune has chosen you for this moment in history.
"History" as they say "is upon you...."
