Default Re: The Debacle In Ekiti



I just hope that the present day politicians take a cue from history. They should remember "weti e" in 65, and the violence that followed NPN's attempt to rig elections in the old Ondo State 1983.

Those calling for military presence in Ekiti, should also remember that the Nigerian Army Corporal that is armed to the teeth will only take orders from his superior officers, and not from the politicians that invited them.

The same politicians should also remember that when people are pushed to the wall, they would react. Once the reaction starts, it would become difficult to control, not even with the military.

My greatest fear about the simmering tension in Ekiti is, an outbreak of violence in Ekiti is sure to spread throughout the SouthWest. This may infact precipitate the final break up of Nigeria, as it is today.

Anyone remember the CIA Country Report indicating that Nigeria will disintegrate in no distant future? Anyone remember the reason adduced for this? Political violence precipitated by brazen corruption by the political class, like the one currently been perpetrated in Ekiti State.

A word is enough for the wise!
