Egypt, taking their destiny in their own hands. Strong willed people. When will Nigeria be able to organize something like this? ASUP and ASUU are on strike in Nigeria, yet, the govt. is silent because their children schools abroad. When can we take on our own govt. to task? |

This isn't a coup because Morsi and his cronies in government were warned to address the demands of the protesting Egyptians or risk being ousted. The powerful Egyptian military has once again demonstrated their unalloyed patriotism for their nation. |
