This brightened picture from the #GameofThrones S8 trailer reveals two men, possibly more, chasing down Arya. Are they chasing her or also running away from something else?🤔

After the rape of our democracy at the hands of the APC, I felt a profound sense of loss and…helplessness.
For a minute I lost faith in politics and in Nigeria.
Then @atiku decided to go to court and I realized what I’d forgotten:
Democracy is a process, not an event.
