Two burials/funerals changed the historiography of my village. One was in 2010 when Chief, Onyishi Odo Abonyi passed. The other was last weekend 26th February 2022, when Pa Ambrose Obetta went the way of all flesh. Their deaths made our people agree with the age-old submission of Pierre Renoir that “the pain passes, but the beauty remains.”

Now that the President, Major-General Muhammadu Buhari (retired), has signed the Electoral Bill into law, it remains to be seen whether the new law will be the cure-all solution to the country’s electoral or election problems. But for intense public pressure, Buhari would most likely not have signed for the umpteenth time. What this shows is that Frederick Douglass is right when he posited that the people must fight for whatever freedom or rights they desire from their rulers.

In spite of misgivings and low marks of the political class today, there are still men and women of honour and integrity that could be singled out in terms of moral uprightness and accomplishments over the years. There are still a handful of Nigerians who have demonstrated capacity, competence and sustained unblemished records of service to country and humanity.
