When I look at Nigeria, when I read our newspapers and magazines, the picture that emerges is not unlike that of an adult who on hearing the cry of a child exclaims - "That child again!" At the ripe old age of 60, I believe I can claim the right to be counted amongst the elder statesmen of our beloved country. As an elder, let me advise that whenever the voice of a child is heard in agony - your duty, the duty of all of us, is to find out what is wrong. Chief Emeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, I dedicate this quote to Pa Edward Dacosta for being blunt against the APRC Government during the student's massarce of April 2000. May the souls of the departed rest in peace. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html To contact the List Management, please send an e-mail to: [log in to unmask] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
