Going through today’s post, some may begin to wonder whether it is the same pacifist Charles who wrote this article and had it published in the widely circulated Sunday Concord about 19 years ago. Of course, it is the same me. Afterall, didn’t the Bible state that “…whom the Father loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.”?
My only regret is that it did not occur to me to bring up the baptism of fire contained in that article early enough for the present political actors. I could not locate the article until this morning. Nonetheless, please read it and get refreshed on that recommendation as well as the activities of the various umpires who had chaired the electoral process up until the time of that publication in 1992. Check out the performances of Michael Ani, Ovie Whisky, Eme Awa and Humphery Nwosu.

Meanwhile, as Alassane Ouattara gets set to assume power in Ivory Coast in the midst of tension, I bring you yet another picture of armed struggle over Rhodesia which later transformed into Zimbabwe. Who knows; very soon, it may be the turn of Zimbabweans garnering the support of the international community to remove Robert Mugabe, the stubborn bone in the nation’s throat. Let the revolution go round.
Lest we forget…CHANGE IS HERE
