Poju Oyemade of the Platform fame has started a campaign of love of country now that we await the release of the redacted criminal records of his hidden idol. His perception of both faith and reality is from his foggy tribal lenses. From those, he “sees” and “hears” from “God” of messages that have his tribe as the epicentre of everything good for Nigeria. I am needlessly saying that he comes true to type.
When a gentleman with verifiable credentials was at the helm, this man’s Platform was all about condemning and correcting the leadership and mobilizing the youth against it in the name of promoting good governance. Today, when his own man of unknown parenthood, childhood, and source of livelihood has grabbed, snatched and run away with power from the correct leadership, Oyemade no longer has prescriptions for change or correction. His is now prescribing and dispensing love for what is.
He screamed for honesty and a loathing of corruption those years that a man that now appears as an angel, in contrast to what now is, was in leadership. Today that we have a man who pleaded that the books of criminality of the magnitude of drug peddling should not be opened against him (whatever they contain), contrary to the Scriptures that Oyemade professes to teach, which ordinarily should make the man a smell in the nostrils of the honest and corruption free nation that Poju Oyemade advocated so energetically with all his oratorical power in the past, he is preaching love, acceptance and embrace of the putrefaction.
These guys charmed Nigerians in the past with their effusions and professions of their knowledge of God. It was like they used to hold family meetings with him from which other Nigerians were excluded by default. Nigerians have since discovered that, even in their sins and ignorance, they know God better than these self declared men of God. At least, most Nigerians have a conscience that pricks them regarding the truth, even if they have difficulty obeying it, unlike these gods of men.
Is it not said in the Bible that to fear God is to hate evil, and that to have the understanding of him is to hate every false way? Yet, the tribal pulpiters do not know this basic truth. How come? How come that they are preaching to us to embrace the false way that has imposed itself upon our vision of truth and righteousness?
