Book Cover & Preview Text
It was simply the setting of the wrong agenda and undue focusing on a wrong and misplaced issue. But once set in motion, the damages inflicted on society by Journalistic Militantism of this sort cannot be undone with a wave of the hand. It is as lethal as the deliberate misrule of a dictatorial vampire. ... Indeed, even if unjustifiable, it is very much understandable that President Olusegun Obasanjo did not choose to toe the path of political suicide by permitting a free and fair election. No one would voluntarily and pleasantly return to the agony of prison life stepping down from a throne of gold and a path of silver lining.
