USA Africa Dialogue Series - Re: Fragments Of Poetic Thoughts (28)

2.

Chidi,

I'm sorry. True, you didn't post "Niger Delta people suffering more than almajiris" - it wasn't you - and before you deny being an agent provocateur, preaching piety, well here are some other views about missionary activities:

37. Not to love the missionary--Deuteronomy 13:9

38. Not to cease hating the missionary--Deuteronomy 13:9

39. Not to save the missionary--Deuteronomy 13:9

40. Not to say anything in his defense--Deuteronomy 13:9

41. Not to refrain from incriminating him--Deuteronomy 13:9

What is everyone else doing? Chidi kicks in the new year as poet and agent provocateur, round one, preaching piety whilst the hungry Naija clergy – like Elmer Gantry preach prosperity in the same way that some of the commercial Hindu Gurus of the happy seventies, believing that Westerners were suffering from too much materialism, their mototo was,"Give me your money and I'll give you peace of mind!"

"While preachers preach of evil fates
Teachers teach that knowledge waits
Can lead to hundred-dollar plates
Goodness hides behind its gates
But even the president of the United States
Sometimes must have to stand naked" (Dr. Dylan)
