In his Divine Comedy, Dante wrote,

"Abandon hope all ye who enter here" This is the welcome sign for sinners inexorably reporting at the gates of hell.

Whoever said BAT shouldn't win?

Having come to the realization that many Nigerians call good evil and evil good, I had my peace of mind. Because anything is possible under the accursed darkness of this Guilty Nation

If BAT is the one this Guilty (un)Nation wishes on themselves, who dares say no to the wishes of idiots who shamelessly glory in their shame?

But Nigerians are not all idiots.

(Some of) our people insist on making asinine political choices. After after, they start blaming America and the West for all their problems. Just imagine that.

Nigerians, pray, "Dear God Almighty, Give Us Not the President We Deserve.”

Nigerians are in for deeper sh*tholes should they get the ruler they rightfully deserve.

"In everything, do to others what you would want them to do to you. This is what is written in the Law and in the Prophets."

Matthew 7:12 (NIrV)

~~~~~

When the celebrated Rabbi Hillel was asked if he could explain the essence of Judaism while standing on one leg, he replied that nothing could be simpler: “Do unto others as you will have others do unto you. The rest is commentary.”

The year 2023 elections offer another chance to course-correct. The better route is the promising though less travelled road. Nigerians know this road. Will they take it?

The alternative is to keep squashing their stubborn and willingly blind heads on the windshield of their pathological preference for corrosive leaders.

In other words, our actions are unbreakably linked with our circumstances. Inactions are actions too. You are free to act, or not act, or even act wrongly, but you are not free from not reaping the fruits of the seeds you sowed.

Mr. Musk’s “reign of ___” (fill in the spaces) kicked off with cascades of less-than-salutary changes.

Nobody is begrudging the richest man on the planet doing as he pleases with his latest acquisition. The foreboding concern is that Elon’s unbridled arbitrariness could be a harbinger of ill winds, living none of us any good in its wake.

These days, I'm afraid to interact on my most active WhatsApp groups. Most of the great & useful discussions are drowned out by toxicity - abuses & insults.

I can't stomach it. So, for the sake of my sanity. I run away from those groups as best I can.

Don't think you can't survive being part of those "poisoned" groups. You will survive them.

Your mental health is priceless.

Must we resort to telling lies because some people, (even the people that are said to matter) prefer listening to and acting on lies and half-truths?

"Discernment is not, knowing what is truthful and what is falsehood. Discernment is knowing true and half-true."
~ C. H. Spurgeon (paraphrased)

Proverbs 29:12
If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are wicked. (KJV)

If a ruler listens to falsehood, all his officials will become wicked. (Amplified Bibe)

All in the full glare of a global audience! What excuse do APC’s litany of propagandists and spinners have to explain away the actions of a man who had to read his own Date of Birth from a slip of paper handed to him! Such was Tinubu’s 

God may forgive Tinubu, but God may never forgive Tinubu’s handlers, his battalion of cronies and army of liars.
