This is my first blog entry for Greenlightnigeria.org, it is my anger at the outcome of this electoral fiasco that is compelling me to write now.
Like many of my compatriots I am speechless at the bare faced audacity with which this political theatre has been executed.
At least this time the international monitors and the media are calling it like they see it, unlike 2003, as flawed, unfair, rigged.
Like many people who observed this election on the street, I have reserved my judgement till the outcome.
Let there be no doubt that this was rigging on a grand scale. Rigged at the polling booth. Rigged at the count. Rigged in its announcement in Abuja. This is one small step from power for Obasanjo and his rentinue, one giant leap backwards for democracy.
Now the outcome is in no doubt what are we to do?
Nigeria is like a lunar landscape today, no oxygen, no gravity, we are stifled and in freefall.
