Nigerians and observers alike have been very critical of the presidential elections that recently occurred in the motherland. I don't want to suggest that I settle for less or that how the elections were run are acceptable, however, it is true that a baby doesn't start running because the adults around it can walk.
As a friend of mine reminded me today, there is a country to east of Nigeria whose president has been in power for 26 years! We need to appreciate the small victories however insignificant they may look.
