While we are all frustrated, please spare a thought for people who are most affected by the postponement... like our corpers who had to spend the night in terrible sleeping conditions, people who had weddings or other milestone occasions planned, etc. May God help us all.

In one fell swoop @inecnigeria gives credence to every single spurious story concerning/questioning their ability to conduct free and fair elections. Now everything is suspect. Why are you so predictable? To think I actually shot a PSA for this crap.
