I am a student at Virginia Tech and was on campus during the second shooting at Norris Hall. The Virginia Tech police has told us that 20 are confirmed dead and 28 are being treated for injuries. This is the second shooting in one year as well as three bomb threats in the last week. Students are terrified.

I am a student. I was walking to class when one of the buildings was evacuated. The police yelled to get off the drillfield. People started running everywhere. The situation is intense. Everyone is worried.
The blog has been painfully slow today and keeps losing my work, so here's a selection of text messages:

Nigeria is not yet in the progressive fold. We are still in Sodom and Gomorah with a debauched fellow just declared as the winner in my state.

Most parts are up in flames of fury and angst. As it stands liberation day is not within sight. Decision day however seems to be today.

The opposition parties should boycott the presidential poll so as not to legalise the illegalities of the OBJ transition progm.

i'm extremely dissapointed with the Nigerian court. An African virus in corruption will forever remain in his political CV.
