In my opinion, I believe that both parties and/or their representatives or spokesmen all have hidden agenda. It is like a game of chess or tennis: seeking upper hand and aims to disarm the other in the race towards 2015 "power sweet..." I do agree with Cornelius's argument on fair hearing, after all, we are seeking a free and fair election. So, let's start by giving one another the chance to voice even the most stupid thought that may one day offer clues to resolution of our internal conflicts. However, that does not mean I agree with the contact flight to the West by the "tea-party" groups for resolution, thereby, turning a political issue into a pop culture reality show. I feel that clues to the insurgencies wearing out the sovereignty of Nigeria lie within and in the hands of these same "power sweet..." tea-party people. I say it and will always do, the independence was a sham because it was not a national concession but a cessation to the greed of the few in need of power in order to look into the eyes of the white man and also buy back their libidos taken away by color separation and identity. This means that help and resolution will continually come from the west until we learn the meaning of the words like 'truth', 'dialogue', 'understanding', 'respect', 'accountability' etc without any political or social colors. It is for this same reason that Nigeria will constantly tackle issues such as, corruption, insurgency- which is almost as old as Nigeria-, internecine ethnic rivalry and underdevelopment. By the way, has APC resolved her own internal crises and rivalries? Indeed, charity begins at home, Mr Lai Mohammed!
