I quote the former Minister of Solid Minerals under whose tutelage I once did a course in political science in Unibest. "If you asked Odion Ugbesia to draw God, because I have never seen God, by the time I finish it, you will probably find the face of Anenih in it, you find the hands of Anenih and you find the legs of Anenih. Everyday I pray to God to help me in my life, and once and every time Anenih comes and help me. He made me a Commissioner; made me a Minister, made me a Minister again, helped me to build a house".

Although Ugbesia is lauding his political godfather to the skies here, I feel there are certain people who have played pivotal roles in our lives and made immense contributions to our success in life, all out of a true altruistic motive. Referring to such people as our gods would not be out place and if I were to draw God,by the time I finish it, you will probably find the face of my maternal uncle who shall remain anonymous here. This guy has gone the whole hog to improve the living conditions of everybody in the extended family. He gave me my first job offer which I turned down and he made a quite appreciable financial and moral support to my trip abroad. And he single-handedly bankrolled my mother's funeral. Thanks uncle for everything.

Yo bros and sis, I want you to go down the fuzzy memory lane and illuminate that special person you would want to give the face of God in your drawing.

what's all this moukee?

Those who are not bereft of understanding will respond after reading the post and not merely ask questions that seem to suggest I have posted something despicable. Yo Eve, do you want me to break it down for you?

Now let me try to put you in the picture regarding my post titiled "My God on Earth". My former lecturer was given a ministerial portfolio thanks to his godfather, Anthony Anenih. On the occasion of dedicating his new house, he gave an
address in which he referred to his godfather as his god and that if he were asked to paint God, he would end up with the face, legs and hands of Anenih boldly represented in such a painting. Having read that somewhere, I was like reflecting on certain situations in which some persons have played such a great role in my life that I wouldn't be where I am today, if it weren't for those guys. And I was able to single out my mother's brother. And I am saying too that there can also be people like Anenih and my uncle in the lives of the thousands of Nairaland's subscribers and that it would be worthwhile saying one or two words of appreciation to these guys. Eve, I am sure you got people like that in your life. C'mon, say something by way acknowledging them. Know what I mean?
