I DID not see any reason to join in the national discourse on the flim flam of party defection, not even after Dr. Eweta Emmanuel Uduaghan, the immediate past governor of Delta State, and an Itsekiri man, decamped from the People’s Democratic Party,  PDP, to the All Progressives Congress,  APC,  on a not too convincing reason that his defection would stabilise the polity of the Niger-Delta region. To a  large extent, the notoriety of party defection by the political class  has not helped the political narrative of a nation ranked among the poorest in the world. Politics is ideology-based.

I RECEIVED a phone call on September 16, 2015 from someone who turned out to be  Joe Ayonmike. He was commenting on my article of that day titled Britain at Sunset. He said he usually picked a thing or two from my columns, but on this day, I used a word he had never heard  before: morganatic. He jokingly said he prides himself as  attending the best schools, including one of the best universities in the world; the London School of Economics and Political Science, LSE, and lived in England, so was surprised to come across an English word he never knew existed. He asked the school I attended. I replied: “Araromi Baptist School, Lagos and Methodist Boys’ High School, Lagos.” “University?” “Ife.” He joked: “So you never schooled abroad and are teaching those of us who did.”  We laughed.
