Manufacturing Another Mursi in Nigeria?

I pray that another Mursi is not being manufactured in Nigeria. Lets be on the guard.
In the last 55 years, I have learned that anything is possible, especially after the forces that brought down Mursi explained how they bought protest leaders and engineered the scarcity of fuel and other commodities.
I was an adult by August 1985, in fact a lecturer then. I am not unnecessarily hysteric.
The situation is the same as in 1983: a wrecked economy. The approach is increasingly becoming the same, inevitably.
The actors are the same: the same pro-people President on the one hand and an underground confederation of the corrupt on the other.
Then the same austerity and the exhortations to endure on the one hand, the mobilization of grudge and hate to prepare ground for the return of corruption and - more importantly - the susceptibility of the same populace, on the other.
In 1985 it was a palace coup, in Mursi a sponsored protest.
PMB and his government must be extra-vigilant and we must be vigilant also not to lend our ears to instigators.
