I am having recurring visions of Dariye on horse back fleeing the dusty plains of Jos, at the crack of dawn. The National Anthem playing as Mr. Yaradua takes the oath of office in the plains below. This surely is a movie worth making, Nollywood!<br />Can I get away with spelling the new President's name this way, 'Yaradua' or I always have to include the hyphen this way, 'Yar'Adua'. I will miss the acronym OBJ. I think Nigerians should take some time out for debriefing, so that all the baggage from Obasanjo's tenure is not carried forward to the Yaradua's presidency. Yaradua ought to be given a fair chance, maybe more than a fair chance actually, because the business of running Nigeria is like a minefield. It is only a matter of time before a scandal is exposed. I know how scarred our hearts are, but there wouldn't be any progress if we wallow in self pity and the negativity often associated with a history of deceit.<br />As for me and my blog, I will make an attempt at being objective towards the policies of the new government. I bit this idea from a blog, pity I did not bookmark the blog.</div>Omodudu
