Never again will we teach our children principles of Persistence with the story of Abraham Lincoln. From this day forward, we'll tell them our own story, we'll tell them of a man who was once ridiculed and laughed at every time he lost an election; and he lost 3 times over 12 years, but refused to give up. He was mocked severally, called a "serial loser", "old and brain-dead", "bloody illiterate", and an apostle of religious bigotry. Yet, he was undeterred in his quest to attaining his life's purpose. He could have quit many times - but he did not and because he didn't quit, he got victory at the March 28 2015 polls, heralding a season of change for his country - Nigeria. His name is General Muhammadu Buhari and he is my president elect.[b][/b]
