NPP internal elections: Things fall apart

My all-time favourite novel is "Things Fall Apart" by Chinua Achebe, a Nigerian author. The principal character is Okonkwo, an Igbo leader and wrestling champion in the village of Umuofia.

Isaiah 49:26 of the Bible says: "I will make your oppressors eat their own flesh; they will be drunk in their own blood, as with wine. Then all mankind will know that I, The Lord am your Saviour, your Redeemer, the Mighty one of Jacob."

Kikikikikiki, aye ka, Yaanom's defeat is imminent, and it is boldly written on the wall; it is non-negotiable because things have fallen apart, and the centre can no longer hold.
