Members of the Order of Eminence

I am a humble son of the soil of Zaria, Nigeria. Allow me
to interrupt our... humble proceedings by suggesting that
if our Chairman here collapse and die (turn to Mandela)
let destiny not frown on us in suggesting that we had
not summarized our... eminence. President Obasanjo has
just told us, in the presence of the ... old man here
(mandela stirs but does not wake.. aderotun continues quietly)
of a sordid plot by one duro ladipo pella to steal the wealth
of nigeria by performing an ebo in public using the same
justification david copperfield used for making the statue
of liberty 'disappear'. it is the price of authoritarianism,
a proper putsch by our father, the kings of benin and ife
"So which is it? Benin or Ife?"
"It seems there is no resolution"
Now, General Tong Tswei has also intoned that in his version of
the awada, the prevailing principle has been and remains, last
I checked state, that power is to be used.

"Wherever it comes from.."
General Deng Xao Ping (the peoples army and other stories)

The story
"Power comes from a barrel of gin" Mao conceded and General Hu gave
him a glass of it. Gin I mean. But as they drank merilly Deng
captured them both.

"So," my son said to me eagerly, "power does not come neither from a barrel
of gin NOR from the barrel of a gun"

"NOR is correct!" I harkened to the lad.

What was not told, however, is what happened to the captured
gentlemen.

"...however it is gotten..."
