Both sides (Yes and No) wanted it badly and campaigned vigorously but Scotland has voted to stay in the United Kingdom. We have not heard of accusations and counter accusations about ‘rigging’. We have not heard of threats and no one has threatened to go to court. We have not heard of beatings, arsons, looting and killings
Is there any lesson in this AGAIN for Nigeria, Africa and the black world? – Bimbo Roberts Folayan.
