IBK, Hear Hear!
Cha-cha-cha and
cheers to Baba Opara
just like the cosmological prafassar
about change, he's supposed to know what the Buddha
said in the Heart Sutra
and in the Lotus Sutra
not just his Chief Abiola Irele (God bless him) and Wole Soyinka
and Baba Chinua Achaba
currently in Satyaloka…
He's listened to what Jalaluddin Mansur, Umar Bin Hassan and Abiodun Oyowele say
about CHANGE - heck! People kick the bucket and go to heaven or to tha otha
Place - that too is a change from where they used to pee and poo and more importantly - excellent wisdom poetry like Hebraic, about real change and not prohibiting the moral bankruptcy of the type that has accompanied the devaluation of the naira….
OK, so the latest Boko Haram atrocity shows that Brother Buhari cannot just like Allah sub han t'ala, say KUN – and the bread turns to non-alcoholic wine or all corruption ceases in an instant – any more than Andrea Del Sarto to his Last Duchess :
"I gave commands;
Then all smiles stopped together."
A pro-corruption movement would be no change at all! We've got to help the Brother!
What do we all want? We all want a better Nigeria, and a better Africa!
And now, for someone's edification, a few lines about hypocrisy which you'll find on page 472 of THE COMPLETE POETRY & PROSE OF WILLIAM BLAKE - edited by David v. Erdman with a forward and commentary by Harold Bloom
How to know Love from Deceit
Love to faults is always blind
Always is to joy inclind
Lawless wingd & unconfind
And breaks all chains from every mind
Lawful cautious & refind
And forges fetters for the mind

CAO,
I grant you poetic license. Yes change is here. From tolerance of graft to intolerance of corruption and moral bankruptcy!
Cheers.
