Ibukunolu A Babajide
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
The Second Coming
By William Butler Yeats
1865-1939

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.

YES, it does show good leadership when the caliber of geriatric elite power captors has sunk to the lowest of the low. Looters and delegate/vote buyers who waste our common patrimony turn a frugal and productive man into the hero of the youth and the masses!IBK_________________________Ibukunolu Alao Babajide (IBK)Turning and turning in the widening gyre

Cornelius Hamelberg
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

Bob Marley: So Jah Seh
Chidi is busy preparing the ground for the PPP eventuality. The Poor People’s Redemption Party. Preparing the soil so that Omoyele Sowore and other would-be revolutionaries will have an easier ride on the bandwagon on the way to taking over the castle at Aso Rock, not Osu Castle - and we’ve got to remind them that The Revolution Will Not Be Televised, although it’s a sure thing that When The Revolution Comes some of us (the Naija Black Bourgeoisie) “ will probably catch it on TV, with chicken hanging from our mouths”
I support you 100% per cent publicly and privately. Ten million Almajiri also support you.
Only the miscreants would do otherwise.
This is the motto, the emblem is the party symbol, like the title of Gregory Porter’s 2020 album
All Arise ( with Femi Tomowo on tracks 5 ( Faith in Love) and 11 (Phoenix) )
As you have observed, “The crowd who hailed Christ "hosanna in the highest" on Sunday was the same crowd who shouted "crucify him" against Christ on Thursday, a time space of only 4 days. This is an important lesson in crowd psychology.”
If it was indeed the same crowd, what should that tell you Dr Watson?
That the crowd is fickle? But was it the “same “ crowd? Exactly the same?
Including Peter, Obi’s namesake who denied Jesus thrice before the cock crowed or was it just another facile example of The Mass Psychology of Fascism?
Honestly, my main fear right now is that Peter Obi is merely serving as a decoy - and as a huge deception, a ploy and that by February next year when it finally dawns on them that it’s impossible for Peter Obi to be elected president - as the former governor of Imo - a fellow Igbo has pointed out here, the Igbo as a monolithic voting block could vote for Alhaji A. A. and thus ruin the day…
