In the story of Jesus and the rich man, is the rich young man named Nicodemus?
And what about you Chidi, shouldn't you lead by example?
First, you sell all your earthly material possessions and then - in poetry - standing on top of a danfo you declare your candidacy for the Nigerian Presidency to the downtrodden and oppressed from the very heart of the Revolutionary Motor Park in Owerri - like the Pied Piper of Hamelin you tell all the rich rats " come follow me!"
Declaring a war on corruption is easy, but how do you actually win the war on corruption?
You drown the rats, that's how, and thus you rid Nigeria of the vermin…
Amin
Mazi Cornelius,I will not be lending ear to the Nigerian Nicodemus. Like his namesake, he would also disappear if I ask him(as I will surely do) to sell off his(mostly ill-gotten)possessions, give all to the poor and follow me to Motor Park Poetry(Protest Poetry).-CAO.Dear Chidi :
Not to worry.
Think:Jesus and be of good cheer
Soon you will be lending your good ear
to Nicodemus
You are blessed to be feeling sagacious and safe and away from it all in Nigeria. In the meantime (my favourite prefatory expression these days) disaster is lurking ahead over here and despite the prelates, cardinals, bishops, deacons and pastors telling us not to worry, because "the kingdom of heaven is within" there are weighty matters outside the kingdom of heaven no longer waiting on the back burner.
Hear here
(for your perusal):
Some of the young Russians ( draft dodgers ) are running away to neighbouring countries in Europe, just to avoid the draft - as if NATO has signed an affidavit or taken an oath on the Bible, guaranteeing them protection in NATO - Europe. The bright idea has not yet dawned on them that they would be considerably safer if they got visas to Nigeria - perhaps a better idea than taking cover in Poland and being forced to join the Polish army to fight against their motherland, MOTHER RUSSIA.
In the meantime, Uncle Sam has told all Americans to get out of Russia as soon as possible, without any further delay.
Imagine the psychological pressure. Uncle Sam's message to US citizens can mean only one thing: Something bad is about to happen.
