Dear Chidi:
Mazel Tov! Mighty Congratulations! Kudos! Cheers for the recognition and the appreciation! More grease, imagination and inspiration to your elbows, more of the required fluid for the pen (mightier than the sword) and the poetry ! All of which means that it is not expected that you will begin to rest on your oars.
Look at what these dudes are also doing - daring to do, whilst post-Adorno, some of us are only busy resting on our butts, reading poetry after the Holocaust whilst others are making love, not war :

More poetry, the poetry of politics, the poetics of public opinions and mangled, marginal information : misinformation. The unholy mismanagement of information, the management, mismanagement and dismemberment of news and views from which Chidi is free to pick and choose :
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/
As Dear Ken put it ( October 26, 2023) “Dear cornelius, i don’t believe breitbart is a reliable source.”
BTW, I have been scarce in the forum because I don’t want to quarrel with you ( about Israel, about Gaza, Jesus, the Pentecost, Islam , the apocalyptic events that we witness erupting everywhere, or anything else. I strongly believe and intuit that the Messiah is here and Cornelius Ignoramus doesn’t want to be banished by Ojogbon forever for any misdemeanours he may commit in this forum, suffice it to say that a Nigerian Pentecostal has presented me with his cogent reasons for their fanatical support of Israel, through thick and thin - no matter what, like a marriage vow - is this not a form of idolatry - when the state or the idea of the holy or not so holy state replaces GOD? According to Judaic theology - if you can call it that - The Almighty, The Torah, the people of Israel and the Land (Israel) are inseparable. So, what are the implications of such a belief or such a reality?
Perhaps, one of the implications is that some of these Pentecostals ( and various self-identified so called “lost tribes” view themselves as being are married to Jesus or to Israel and are committed to being more faithful to Netanyahu and his crew than they are capable of being faithful to themselves, their own conscience, their own wives and concubines, -they seem welded together, sometimes “unevenly yoked”, “for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part, according to God's holy law.” All of this is backed up by their fear that “ we are living in the end times “ -and mind you, they have been saying this for almost two thousand years. They want Jesus to come back now -they are dreaming of being “raptured”- the Shia also want Jesus to come back as soon as possible -since it’s prophesied that he (Jesus) will pray behind the Mahdi
“ The Palestinians don’t want peace !” according to my Nigerian Pentecostal Bro - as Cushi and Cushite as my ess but sounding like the personal spokesperson of the other trinity comprising Israel’s three holiest cows namely Itamar Ben-Gvir, Bezalel Smotrich and Yoav Gallant. Or - trading places, is it Netanyahu (the Godfather) Joe Biden ( Iran’s “the Great Satan”) and Rav Aluf Herzi Halevi the cream of the crop and chief of defence staff?
“The Palestinians don’t want peace !” ?
Are you sure?, I asked him
“Yes, I’m sure “ - he tried to assure me,
“They insist “ From the River to the Sea”
and that means that they either want dear Israel
to disappear or to replace Israel”
His spirit of Pentecost might have a good point there - in which case it’s two orthodoxies making exclusive claims, the one pitted against the other :
Article11 of the Hamas Charter versus “I will give you the land where you set your foot”
If there can be no compromise then the contending parties can both kiss goodbye to the two-state solution :

It beggars belief that in this our Pan-African forum, there’s so little interest being expressed in the South African elections
