Either we like it or not, either we understand the game plans or not; we must rescue our dignity and respect to our intellectual responsibilities from this bigotry and fanatics who doesn’t respect our collective values as the children of light – Christians.

One of these so called popular candidate got to speak to one of the prophet from Igala land through a third party and the first line of the conversation was “I am almajiri kind of believe… I am not calling you for your Jesus prayers but I was told through you I will get to the people. God so kind; that one is a true son of his father and flexed up, he said and I quote “Sir, never you call me without adding an iota of respect to that my Jesus” and dropped off.

So many people dwelled on the same popularity weight and they are today in the dustbin.

Popularity of a person is not an equation of his political relevance there a many means to achieve popularity. And if I may ask; on what pedigree and antecedents are we basically accruing the popularity to?

Some of the so called Christians forgot the chapter of Holy Book that says; …so then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy – Romans 9:16

I have seen something else under the sun: The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favor to the learned; but time and chance happen to them all Exc 9:11~

It’s a pity that some of us the Christians are blinded to the same scriptures just to follow multitude.

“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. Mathew 7: 13-14

The gate of hell is wide opened than that of heaven…. Na de same bible talk am

The two purported endorsements were Muslims funny enough; enormously championed by some of the Christians leaders or Elders. What a shame to the body of Christ!!

Should we base our Kogi state Gubernatorial Election on religious ground? Of course NO! but we can’t also let those who have been using it against us among their inner caucuses of the same faith to always have their ways. Boldly claiming “CHRISTIAN WILL NEVER RULE KOGI STATE”

They have dared us not to say it but they are deep in it !! It’s either we are bewitched and blinded to their scheming or we are unintelligent enough to connect the dots (Selah)

It’s either we wake up now or never. Dr. Stephen Achema was a victim of this same agenda. Alex Kadri was a victim of this agenda. Edward Onoja is a victim of this too. etc

What is the role of this same people in 2015 and in 2019? Even in 2023? Measure their integrity in the last election? 10/100 on personal opinion.

Who told Yahaya Bello not to mind the Igala Elders and that he will deal with any so called elders that dare stand on their way? Na Igala talk am.

Who said Bello should never hand over to a Christian because it is their agreement with the Arewas for a Christian not to rule Kogi state? Na Igala talk am.

Who called Bello in 2019 Election Day and told him to influence the votes of the central by 120,000 that Idah reject him and the money? Na Igala talk am.

Who called Yahaya Bello and told him to send helicopter and picked the INEC returning officers from Dekina so they can changed the result amidst air? Na Igala talk am.

Who be this Igala man wey talk all this Tins? Please make u take am for your Assignment.

To me, Bello is right all these while !!!

I will speak about the endorsements shortly as I am still doing my background checks as to what measures were used to arrive at those conclusions and why there was no interface with the rest of the candidates to harmonize their working relationship before endorsement. Is that an attempt to cower them into submission? That will be your nightmare trying to under estimate them. How come you finished your endorsement then bullying them with your data boys to join?

Among all the candidates if you are to employ any of them to manage your investment, who will you chose?

We are often carried away to celebrate our problems as solutions but time and season will always prove my words.
