The first serial of this prophetic utterance about the end for evildoers
which was first published on Wednesday last week was well received by those
with grace for discernment, but Ata Ikiddeh, my friend and son of the late Akwa
Ibom icon of letters, Professor Ime Ikiddeh, not too long ago head of English
at the University of Uyo, dismissed the write-up as premature. He was not
alone. The tribe of unschooled propagandists misleading Udom Emmanuel
(apologies, Torobong Ekpo), all of them to a man, poured scorn on the prophetic
conclusion that Udom and his clan of election robbers had come to the last bus
stop.
