Ikhide, are you hoping to get a rise out of anybody? Is that why you are wishing your days away? I'm sure you are a secret admirer of what Nigerians achieved on the actual day, June 12th 1993 (I say nothing of the process by which we reached that day) and are just burying your disappointment that we continue to have to look back because there isn't enough going forward from that day to celebrate or emulate.
But if it is just a date on the calendar to you, live through it like any other day. After all, it's not as if someone tied your eye to Bola Tinubu or Hafsat Abiola Costello's remarks on the event being commemorated, is it?

--"June 12 shined the light of hope; its termination enveloped us in darkness. Some claim we regained civilian democracy in 1999; that claim is not completely true. What took place in 1999 and what is taking place now is but a shadow of June 12. Things are such that many wonder if we, having lost this great chance, will ever revisit the fullness of that moment. I pray we do. The fate of the nation and the over 150 million people occupying it hang in the balance. The past has not always been kind to us; we hope the future does what the past has not."- Bola Ahmed TinubuSigh, cannot wait for this stupid day to be over. June 12 my foot!
