Your brother sent me a link to a BBC article with the title “Laureates want fresh Nigeria poll“. He seemed glad that somebody spoke his mind and I, on the other hand, dreaded a new outbreak of violance. A few hours after that, Posi forwarded another article entitled “Nobel Laureates Call for Early Elections in Nigeria”. Finally, Omenka directed me to his blog where he had just (23/05/07) written about a “planned march organized by some Igbo organizations to protest the conduct of the last elections in Nigeria” and we had a long discussion about the future of Nigeria thereafter. He even thinks the current situation might lead to a new civil war. So, it seems the trouble with elections are not over yet.
You must miss your family greatly!
Ishtar, oh yea, a lot!
