There is a question that used to get me really irritated:“If you,your wife and your mother are in a boat and the boat is sinking and you can only save one person, who will you save, your wife or your mother?” I get irritated because I feel it is an unnecessary assumption meant to cause disaffection.

As a little girl, I had the privilege of watching a lot of British television series in our Black & White TV and later on, colour Televison. I loved horror movies and would always wait till late night of certain days to watch the Hammer House of Horror, a British television series.

Longstanding readers of this column will know that I was absolutely thrilled when Dr Goodluck Jonathan became our President.

It is better for the present politicians to be agents of peace and prosperity in the country rather than agents and apostles of disunity and ethnic warfare. Perhaps, this was one of the topics discussed by President Jonathan at his all inclusive Security meeting of Governors early this week.

LAST week, I argued that in moments of crisis, the political elite must unite the country, to ward off a nation endangering process.
