Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - BREAKING: INEC to postpone tomorrow’s elections

History NEVER repeats itself—folks just continue to make the same mistakes! Contexts are different; no two events are similar; you don't drink in the same cup twice; you don't swim in the same river over and over again!

Election was postponed before under Jega. In fact, people waited a polling stations until about 2pm when news of the postponement filtered to a tired and disappointed crowd. Even president GEJ who flew by helicopter to his village was not aware of the impending postponement.

History just repeated itself and INEC Chairman is a professor of history!

Now that the deed is done and the elections won't hold today, it's not the end of the world. It's a HUGE disappointment, but that's just what it is, a disappointment. 

People should stay calm and hold on to that very powerful instrument in their hands (PVC). 

Do not blink, do not hesitate. Do not refuse to exercise your God given right. Know that in your hands lies the power to make the so called mighty men quake and shake. 

Remain resolute and determined. Nothing good ever comes easy. 

Do not allow this slip by the INEC  discourage you. 

Nigerians should come out en masses and vote for  next week. Nigerians have come too far to give up... Never ever give up. We should exercise our civic responsibilities responsibly.
