Life is about informative and transformative choices that
are within the ability, capacity and reach of every
purpose-driven person. We have watched the United States of
America’s democratic evolution for over 210 years and very
closely for the last 21 months, and have come to appreciate
how a people desirous of change can lead themselves
transcending personal, racial and political differences to
choose character over and above colour in their quest to
remain of relevant influence and lasting value to their
times.
A lesson most democracies must learn: that nothing can
resist nor is much stronger than the will and right to allow
the people decide their leaders and ultimately their
destinies in a free, fair and credible electoral process; as
opposed to what is confused for democracy in most phony
democracies where mediocrity, personal ego, and partisan
politics are exchange for ideals and transparent democratic
processes. Kudos to the people and all the major political
actors of the American democratic evolution; to McCain for
being a good sports man and to Obama for being dogged in his
pursuit of responsibility in becoming the change that will
take the U.S.A to the next level in their development. It is
originally American to be the change, because it only
happens in America where the people are determined, resolved
and persistent in their saying and voting “yes we can to the
change we can believe in and become,” because yes they [the
people of America] have against all odds become the true
change they wish to see and become to remain
transformatively relevant in their local, regional and
global sphere of influence. A new dawn for the
purpose-driven person with character that distinguishes
against all odds irrespective of colour, race, gender, and
creed, religious or political affiliations. – Davis Ijomor.
