Is there now a streak of light at the end of the passage, a light I dare not look upon? - Wole Soyinka

[T]he PDP, on whose platform he stands, represents the most harrowing of this nation’s nightmares over and beyond even the horrors of the Abacha regime. If he wishes to be considered on his own merit, now is time for him, as well as others similarly enmeshed, to exercise the moral courage that goes with his repudiation of that party, a dissociation from its past, and a pledge to reverse its menacing future. We shall find him an alternative platform on which to stand, and then have him present his credentials along those of other candidates engaged in forging a credible opposition alliance.

Age has shrunk the tortoise and the shell is full of air pockets.

...There are dangers in the Quest I know, but the Word may be found companion not to life, but Death.
