Ekiti's shame

I'm from Ekiti, well, my father is. Haven't been there in almost a decade but I feel ashamed for my people and the way the recent re-run elections were held. I reported the Ghanaian elections for my magazine and I saw how peaceful things went. Here the politicians are too desperate to hold on to power that they'd do anything to win.

I cry for my people. I cry for the state of Nigeria. I weep for a bleak future.
