Elections, what elections?

Lagos is a cauldron simmering below the surface. With one day to the election, its a tough call to make about going out.
I have invitations to this week's Idols show--again. But its one hour to the start of the show and I amm still not sure I want to go. Why? Because I wont get back until about 7pm and that may not be a good time to be driving the streets of Lagos, with all the thugs and police and army etc prancing around with fingers hovering over triggers, hands cuddling matchetes and all sorts of dangerous weapons.
Here in the Ajah area where I stay, fighting seems to break out almost on a daily basis. Yesterday, I sent my driver out to get me petrol, as one part of my estate (my side) had no electricity.
He came back to report that people were exchanging bullets with police at Ajah. Not good.
At this rate, how many bodies will we see on the streets before this is all done?
