Dear Naija people: There is no Cabal bent on asphyxiating the rest of us. The ‘Cabal’ is a figment of our collective mythologization (should be a word if it isn’t) and this myth does no more than cause us to wring our hands in resignation. Neither our pleas to a myth nor our appeals to the gods will extract us from today’s quagmire. Our mantra, all the way to 2011, must be: “Fuck the Cabal—real or myth; we’re taking our Country back.”
