I never actually planned writing on this at all this week as i had planned to give SANUSI LAMIDO the bashing of his life for showboating, playing to the gallery and engaging in a macabre dance but just as i was 'BALANCING' to start writing, something caught my fancy. Perhaps, i would put his case in the cooler for now.
Back to that thing that i said caught my fancy. A man had died somewhere and some people were seated discussing the possible causes of his death. While some attributed it to his death to some long suffered ailment, others were just too sure that he was a victim of AFRICAN REMOTE CONTROL. You don't understand? It was insinuated that his mother's husband's aunty in the village was unhappy and disillutioned with his unprecedented success and had killed him via AFRICAN REMOTE CONTROL and i smiled to myself. Not out of amusement however but out of dumbfoundedness at the raw and blatant ignorance displayed by this guys.
Imagine this scenario; A man is married with three adolsecent children. His wife is a professional housewife as she has no job. Unfortunately, himself and his wife are Igbo and so, he has to cater for his own xtended family and that of his wife. He lives in Ikeja and works in a bank of the Island as a Cashier. To ensure the comfort of his family, he rents a three bedroom flat which goes for like 650,000 Naira yearly which unfortunately, he is obliged by the landlord to pay in advance of like 2 years. His children also have to go to school and an average Secondary school in Lagos goes for like 70,000 Naira per term. Since he works on the Island and lives on the mainland, he must not be late for work since he works in a bank. He then buys a car which he must ensure is always in good condition because should his car break down on a Lagos road, his car would either be towed away by LASTMA or he has to pay a fine of 25,000 Naira to bail his car.He gats to work and still no rest. On getting back home, he has to eat ell and eating well is very expensive these days because of the sky rocketed prices of food stuff. It is a well known fact that poor men can't even afford the poor man's food which is garri as a Congo s Garri goes for like 170. So, what should the poor start eating, Ordinary leaves like goats??
I have even forgotten that this man earns a meagre 120,000 per month in the face of all these shuddering responsibilities and he must not steal, or so his pastor told him in church. One day, this man just drops dead and people would start attributing his death to one enemy while oblivious of the fact that he died of hypertension due to tension and frustration.
So many contradictions abound in this world that thinking of them might make one go bananas. Have you ever stopped t wonder why the good die young and the bad grow so old that one is forced to attend night vigils to ask God to kill them. Or why Lucky Igbenedion who stole 30Billion Naira was slapped on the wrist by fining him a meagre 3MILLION naira and asked him to go and enjoy the remaining 29 BILLION 997MILLION NAIRA and undiscovered loots in peac while a Yahoo yahoo boy who obtains just 2000 dollars from a white maga is sentenced to 30 donkey years in prison. SO please tell me why a man who stole 30 BIllion naira should get less than someone that stole just 500 000 Naira.
OR why do Aristo girls who have used themselves silly in the University get good husbands while those really good ones who have shut 'that place' for their future husbands only to find dificulties getting one.
Or the worst of all, someone kills another man. That man is gone forever while the killer would then remember that JESES CHRIST would forgive his sins. He gives his life to christ and christ welcomes him with open arms while the person he killed is left to rot in hell. Please, is that fair judgement. God would tell you not to fight for yourselves while he would watch while others make you suffer. Once again, what do we make of that?
We have been told that God knows why we are in the world and that he has planned out how everyone would play his part. So, should we then go to hell when God knows and has planned that wa are coming to this world to sin???
I can go on and on and that can only lead me to a state of Mental jingoism, deliriousity and gagaism because the world is as crazy just as the inhabitants and some questions can never ever be answered because they are what they are QUESTIONS.
Please, join me in bashing Lamido Sanusi next week.
I rest my case. Do have a swell week ahead.
