The Book of Hosea In your book, isn't it a sacrilege to twist the words of the prophets or use crude parodies of their words merely to fulfill
your own designs, in this case pointing your accusing finger at the current regime and saying that it is a case of the kettle
calling the pot black? If you are mostly concerned with saving the skin/s of some of the most corrupt cream of the former regime/s then you are well
advised to start singing this song and if you are also concerned about absolute Justice, what Wole Soyinka could deem is
retributive justice, and you surely know that there's no smoke without fire, you could then take some consolation
in Johnny Cochran saying "If it doesn't fit, you must acquit!" -
i.e. if the evidence on the the Goodluck Jonathan regime is still fresh and is plentifully available,
if the glove doesn't fit, then what is there for him or her to worry about? That the judges are also corrupt?
That the money – the root of all evil is also corrupt? Are you not feeling any empathy with the poor,
long-suffering people of Nigeria? As far as I can understand, the words you quoted apply to all under the immediate purview,
i.e. former administrations are not exempt from that purview and we should hope, that neither are they
supposed to go scot free with all their loot, if indeed they have looted. You would like Justice (all of it) to be delivered all at once, at one and the same time.
You are pointing to what you believe to be selective justice, all over again.
Well IBK has answered your distress for once and all, that the remainder going back to 1966,
a convenient point at which to begin. Vengeance is MINE, saith the Lord - so the remainder – who
have not been attended to in this life will have to watch, pray and wait for the rest of their punishment,
in the everlasting fire

From Gagarin's Point Of View Not tear-filled, as in "Cry Beloved Country" Indeed, Toyin Adepoju, you know your scriptures and you are spot on ! I can understand - human understanding - the part about those who in the past have reposed their confidence and trust in the
"ravenous wolves with jaws dripping with lust filled spittle to watch their chickens for them"- with reference to some of the former
Nigerian governments entrusted by the gullible, otherwise helpless Nigerian people who in having to choose between the devil
and the deep blue sea elected them to office – "to watch their chickens for them" – some of them not quite realizing that they
(some of the former governments and their cronies) were indeed ravenous wolves in sheep's clothing… As we the poor people often say in Nigeria, " God dae!" - He will hear our cry - and the rest of Prophet Hosea's prophecy testifies
to that : "the Almighty looketh on their (the poor, long-suffering people's hopes) and smileth – and sayeth "one day, my children, one day" You ought to be sitting in the specially reserved pews in the front row of your church cheering Brother Muhammadu Buhari and praying for his success, for more grease to his elbows, that they will soon vomit the money all of it. Somebody please say, Amen

This is very bad news for all the corrupt ones and their ilk, especially the looters who have bought properties with their ill gotten money, and all those who have stashed their loot in British Banks since the UK government is prepared to deal justly with the looters who are guilty of impoverishing the commonwealth of Nigerians. Apart from the honest President of Nigeria, Africa's sleeping giant attending this very important Anti-Corruption Summit,there are of course other African Ogas attending the summit, amongst them those who might be erstwhile either directly or indirectly involved in externalising some of their or their cronies loot, which means that they are probably not entirely happy about the prospects of, (1) Losing their precious loot and (2) and they or their cronies/ partners in crime being brought to JUSTICE...
