Brother Payosi:
Ehn, where did you "yo" from?
Moving on....
Anyway, in the spirit of your inspired spelling of the word "atiku-lation", the answer to your question about excoriation and roads not taken is "boat".
And there you have it.

Prof:
I am not sure that this matter understands me. Is this an atikulate excoriation of GEJ on your part? Or just a disinterested atikulation of the roads not taken by GEJ?

Subject: [NaijaPolitics] On the Options Available to GEJ over this Zoning Palaver {Re: Mz. Sam Enyia ON: NIGERIA DOESN'T NEED Atiku KIND !!}
Dear All:
I have written about this before, and do so again now, maybe more succinctly this time around, with an urgency of now....
With the extant zoning arrangement in the PDP - arguably with GEJ's full knowledge - he had three honorable options:
1. acknowledge the arrangement publicly, and then decline to present himself in the PDP primaries even against all pressure to do so.
2. acknowledge it publicly, but indicate that under the circumstances of his incumbency, he would be presenting himself for the PDP primaries, but that if the extant zoning arrangement were sufficiently disqualifying in the minds of delegates and he lost in the primaries, he would accept it honorably and remain in the party.
3. acknowledge it publicly, decline to buck the PDP agreement within the party, but rather indicate that his incumbency (and wishes of his people of prideful association) would make him to test his presidential political fortunes in another political party.
As it is, he has taken the worst and dishonorable route, namely:
4. disingenuously disavow the zoning arrangement - despite his being an obvious beneficiary of the system - and then use the circumstances of his incumbency to prepare to present himself for the PDP primaries, in a manner in which the political outcome for him is quite unsure.
A certain moral rubicon has therefore been crossed, but GEJ has one more honorable - or more accurately, less dishonorable - option, again with an urgency of now:
5. continue to disavow the zoning arrangement, but say that under the circumstances of a heated polity, he declines to present himself in the PDP primaries even against continuing pressure to do so, and that, working with Jega and INEC, he would dedicate himself to superintending the freest and fairest set of elections ever run in Nigeria.
That would be sacrificially nice before what might yet be an unfavorable outcome of the PDP primaries - but is that expecting too much?
Many think so.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving all, those of us living in the United States. To those who don't live in the US, give thanks anyway! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtxmSAqMtDA
