THE SPOILERS IN OUR MIDST



While responding to a question from the presenter, yesterday, at the Investments Café (LTV 8 / DSTV 129), as part of a four-man panel examining the economic importance of credible elections, I stated that the current bombing in some areas of the country are the handi-work of some fifth columnists operating in the manner of dogs in the manger. The moderator interjected humorously; “You mean spoilers?). It immediately reminded me of an article I did in the Sunday Concord titled The honourable babas in 1004 flats.

Please read the article and make up your mind not to be part of the spoilers in the nation.

CARTOON CORNER

Sometime in the 1980s, Nigerian streets were flooded with an occupation force of beggars from neighbouring countries. Today’s cartoon shows one instance of the mannerisms of some of the beggars who deployed force against their targets.

As we return to the polling booths to cast our votes, let us be determined never to be reduced to street beggars in foreign lands. The opportunity is ours now. Vote wisely.

Lest we forget…CHANGE IS HERE
