In the movie First Blood, John Rambo, when asked by his ex commander to stand down and stop his attack on the local law men, he insisted that they drew first blood.
When Tinubu in his desperate bid to grab power, foolishly rolled out his team of okada hopping fake bishops, a direct insult to the real reverred ecclesiates body, he in his unsound mind thought he had carried out a successful coup. Did he really expect them to ignore the spite. In fact their silence in the face of such a provocation should have warned or really frightened a more rational mind. But Tinubu surely can not be awarded such a sane honour.
When he challengenly and insultingly chose a muslim muslim ticket thereby telling the scores of millions of Christians in Nigeria that they don’t matter, that he doesnt care what they think, what they say or do and therefore they can go and rot, the quiet reaction of this extremely powerful Bishop body was a clear dignal that there was fire in tbe mountain. But like some political pundit rightly pointed out, the like of Tinubu had rather rule a burning Nigeria than not rule at all.
Then, the greatest insult the already seething Catholic multitude and their leadership in Nigeria, he packaged his equally irrational wife to Trump the American president, to go and front the offensive impression that she was representative of all Nigerian Christians and they all support the government. Even in the face of the Christian murders that was going on in the country. One starts to wonder who actually gives this man advice. It is obvious that the fellow is a masochist who loves surrounding himself with enemies. That he recruited someone like Remo Omokiri, who did not mince words in his vehement expression of his feelings about him in not so distant past, in his team is of the clear indications of the suicidal personality of Tinubu. For him to think that these prior haters of him have suddenly developed a sudden instant love for him is foolery at its zenith.
Now with the patient yet formidable body of Nigerian bishops his comeuppance has commenced. This is the first salvo and he is not just squirming, he is trashing uncomfortably. His wild dogs are barking noisily. Let him know that this is the morning. He aint seen nothing yet. This group has the backing of one of the most powerful men on earth, the Pope. You can’t mess with them. Our people say that a child sent to steal by his father kicks down doors. This is a Pope who does not care about taking swaps and pot shots at Trump, whom Tinubu is in mortal fear of. It was in the media space recently that the Pope has plans of visiting Nigeria. Then Tinubu thinks that this is the right time to antagonise his people. When l say the man is suicidal, you think l am joking.
On the flip of the coin it was in the news that during a muslim festival this year, that some top islamic representatives paid him a courtesy visit, during which they advised him to assure Nigerians a free and fare election next year. It was revealed that his response was outright antagonistic and offensive. Instead of assurance he gave Nigerians threat. When he was suffering, where were they, he snapped at them. Let them prepare for their own suffering he spat.
Let some one read for this man the story of Jeroboam the son of Solomon and the result of his rash decisions and unguided utterances. To your tents o Israel.
When you murder the babalawo that concorts charms for you, what about the ones chasing you to kill you with charms. Who will protect you from them?
We need to pray for the president, to reverse from the dangerous path he is treading.
