Passions of Patriots

---

Thank you for notifying us. The page you are attempting to access contains content that is not intended for underage readers. The rivalry between two friends, Barry and Peter, intensifies as they scheme hard to win Vivian's heart. Passions flare up in a labyrinth of political plots that cut across the country as they repeatedly us the word "patriotism" in their attempts to get even with each other. When death comes into play, it is no longer a simple game.

It is a documentation of many events and stories, about current disturbing issues of morality, economy and politics. The title of the book is drawn from a very exciting expression on page , paragraph three, "when there is a national issue at stake, the passions of patriots of this great nation are flared up". The unfolding events may, however, not be in tandem with this philosophy all through.

This is left to personal judgment. The key actors or characters appear to have been locked-up in pursuit of personal and selfish interests more than the national course fore-grounded in the title. This is not to say there are no national issues and interests. Intrigues and bickering dominate the events. Equally relevant to the title of the book is a brief discussion between Peter Shawon and Ahmed Abdulahi P82 where The present government is facing severe opposition. There are a lot of dissenters both within and outside the country.

Out of patriotic passion, I feel I should intervene… It will be good if the military government transforms itself to a civilian government. Ahmed was actually trying to convince Peter to support the military government transforming into civilian government — the Abacha smuggle style.

Ahmed was very passionate about this. But passions are not a one-way traffic.

Another group is passionate about democratic rule. This is found on page 73, where Peter Shawon sponsored Bola to cause an air crash. Bola said, I caused that air accident. Ama Adams linked me up to one Peter Shawon who wanted all passengers aboard that plane dead. When I complained that I did not understand how that would enhance the aims and objectives of the Movement, Adams explained that it was the hope of the officials that the crash would discourage foreign investment.

This is another stanza to this philosophy of patriotic passions. Each of the characters exhibits a certain degree of passions, either to issues or to persons according to their desires.

Each of them sees himself as a prospective Chief Executive of the company. Barry seems to have an edge over Peter for the position. Added to this aspiration is a passion for a lady, Vivian, who takes the attention of the two young men right from their school days, in the University. Barry got married to Vivian.

Peter plans the assassination of Barry in an aircraft explosion. In the belief that Barry is killed in the explosion, Peter takes over Vivian as his wife. It is discovered, later, that Barry is still alive. This has become a heavy moral and security problem to both Peter and Vivian. Every misfortune that befalls Peter or Vivian is believed to have been caused by Barry.

So Peter, Barry and Vivian live in mutual suspicion and intense fear. All through the novel, the theme of fear seems to dominate the scene. Disturbed by this, Peter goes to consult an Indian witch doctor who tells him what the doctor calls the reality: Here come the past, I'll start from there to assure you I'm for real. I see you and a friend are rivals fighting over one woman, and your friend succeeds in marrying her.

Both of you become sworn enemies and rivals to an office. You plan to kill him. Each way is, by their estimate, 1. You only get to spend 1. If you take in the tour of the main house itself then you have a short 45 min to see the rest of the plantation. Believe me you could not run the area and see some of the other buildings. Forget getting a Mint Julep or going to the Gift Shop. IF you do not do the main house tour then you could get through the rest of the plantation.

My advise is for the tour company to change the time allotted at the plantation to longer. Do not take this tour if this will be the only plantation tour you take. We are sorry you were disappointed with your tour.

Pirates, Passions, and Patriots: A... - Gray Line

It takes a while to get to the plantations as they are in the countryside as they were in their prime. For that reason some people had homes in the city too.

The company tried visiting two plantations to give more time at the locations compared to travel time but people then felt the tour took too much of their time. We continue to try to find more alternatives that reduce travel vs. We recommend some of our in-town tours which have little travel time.

Please let us know your preference when you come back to visit. She not only provided excellent historical details about the French Quarter, but also humorous anecdotes and a wonderful storyline of characters from the earliest days of our nation and New Orleans. You'll have opportunities for a few pictures of interesting sites, but be sure to bring your night time skills for shooting as you may be in the dark part of your tour.

As long as you're not expecting the pirate garb in the promotional pictures, you'll have a great time. Lori even provided a great tip on a good place to eat and enjoy a little jazz on Frenchmen Street! Snug Harbor was amazing! We love adventure and were intrigued by the ads to do an airboat tour of the bayou in new Orleans.

It was a huge disappointment. We almost missed the trip because thr Gray Line ticket counter sent us to the wrong spot to meet the bus. Fortunately the bus driver called us and we found him. The trip was incredibly boring. There were 21 people on the boat so it was incredibly slow. The guide on the boat simply asked if anyone had questions instead of offering us any information.

There was nothing adventuresome at all. It seemed totally staged and phoney from start to finish. We loved New Orleans but this trip was a total waste of time and money. We are disappointed that we didn't know about your displeasure while you were here. Many times we can make things so much better if we learn about it then instead of on-line later.
