The Sinner, The Prophets And The God-father

The Sinner, The Prophets And The God-father

And it came to pass, the prophets took the sinner to seek the face of God-father.

God-father asked the prophets; why have you come with this man to disturb my spirit?

Prophets: we are here to intercede on his behalf. He acknowledged that he has sinned against you, not necessarily against Nigeria. Kindly forgive him, our God-father.

God-father: because of these prophets with you, including your knowledge of economics, you are hereby forgiven. Go and sin no more.

Sinner: my God-father, may your wish be done!

That's how Nigeria works, and that's why Nigeria will continue to regress.

Nigeria’s Deficient Democracy = Autocracy

Adams Oshiomhole (APC Chairman): “only people who can accept the pain of rigging; sorry defeat, should participate in elections.” 

The freedom to choose our leaders is a beauty of democracy. In the absence of this basic tenet of democracy, what you have is autocracy.

Hence, if a Nigerian politician and his political party know that the electorate will vote them out of power for non-performance, they will work for the people.

Money: From Medium of Exchange To Medium of Influence - The Nigerian Example

Money (banknotes & coins) is a medium of exchange. But some African politicians particularly the politicians in Nigeria are gradually redefining money as a medium of influence. 

These politicians steal millions of dollars of public funds, not because they want to buy bread and butter, but to control those people who are willing to sell their days for gold – apologies to Kahlil Gibran.

Chinese In Africa: Colonialism Is About Repeating Itself

The 2-day China-Africa summit ended on 4/September/2018. About 50 Africa’s heads of state attended the summit held in Beijing. Mr Xi – Chinese president promised a total of $60 billion to finance projects in Africa “in the form of assistance, investment and loans over the next three years.”

China continues to present itself as a better partner to Africa than EU and US. Well, China can never be better than EU, at least EU observes human rights, which China doesn’t care about.

“…People Will Never Forget How You Made Them Feel” – Maya Angelou


Though I am not a conformist, but I like reading the bible and other religious scriptures. Even those books written by philosophers, scientists, metaphysicians, etc. Each of these books, especially the Christian bible, I consider a book of wisdom. I get to know the world better each time I read a chapter of any of the books.

When It Is Convenient To Use Bible Verses to Commit Evil

[Well] there are those verses even some of the most literal readers of the Bible ignore because they are just too inconvenient. Take Luke 18:22: "Sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me." No Christian will ever follow this injunction. It is too inconvenient.
