SO LONG A LETTER

I didn't get much cards this christmas season?.

Are cards more expensive than they used to be?, are people tired of weaving together those refreshing words?. I really don't know, afterall,I thought that the beautiful art of letter writing was facing extinction until recently when it suddenly barged into our consciousness? Those who might contend that letter writing may have fallen on hard times are obviously referring to the use of this elegant art as a political weapon of sort. I have lived in Nigeria all my life and it is difficult to find a credible reason to live in an incredible country, given the practice of the corrupt, present leaders in the nation. That's why I believe that Obasanjo's letter to Jonathan is a calculated effort to destabilize the country. The tone and content of the letter has set the nation on a state of alert and anxiety.

There have been some written letters in the past but that era has become history. Not many of such letters that have the. Capacity of tearing open a dam of public reactions have been written since then.

Okay, so what's my point here? The freedom of expression as stipulated in the constitution does not mean that one should commit libel or use inciting statement to set the nation ablaze. A missile has been launched into the seat of power. I heard that Obasanjo insulted The Vanguard when they contacted him. He called them idiots...lol.

Anyway, I think that those accusations coming from a man of his status in the country should be investigated.
