The credence of prosperity for an independent candidature in Africa has been lost to the proverbial Bermudian Triangle.

Independent candidatures have been assailed with skewed media coverage, a bereftness of precedence, incessant legal assaults, warped verbiage, and deliberate schemes of contortion by the state—to pervert their wherewithal and infrastructure for candidacy-prosperity.

A renaissance for independent candidates sans state reform, will nestle with the erudite human element of goodwill, who wield a deep dive of the epistemic comprehension of justice and democracy, to conscientize the public—by making use of the utilities (e.g., non-analog medium) of postmodern sovereignty, to seed an elective revolution.

In the land of the Savannah, where the political has been debased to a spectacle of pageantry—yielding an assemblage of political vampires and ogres, turning the tide will require the dawn of the deft human personality, to place their adroitness at the altar of sacrifice, to spawn an informed elective franchise.

The exceptionalism of Africa is not a myth but a conceivable tangibility, necessitating a sparked uprising by the erudite minority of goodwill.
