What you see in the above picture is the dream of every catholic faithful. The Pope is the God's voice on earth. To be in such proximity with the Pope as per the above depiction, one must be in the mode of a Jesus Christ disciple. The individual must be purified and free from all sinful obtainments. The Ten Commandments must be cardinal in the person's life, especially the instruction spelled out in the book of Exodus 20:17, ''THOU SHALL NOT CONVERT THY NEIGHBOUR'S HOUSE OR ANYTHING THAT IS THY NEIGHBOURS''. The person must not have a history of marketing addictive substance (not the brewery in Anambra State) and clean means of exchange transactions because of the attendant collateral damage to the society, damages that are far more pronounced than finding an unidentified two old human skulls and two rusted AK 47 riffles, all in one bag, criminally planted in a lodging room of a hotel to implicate the owner and it has proved to be the case.

This article was precipitated by Ben Obi's write-up in the Daily Sun Newspaper. It was of interest to me because he was not only a childhood friend of Peter Obi; he was also his Personal Assistant in his administration. To him, Peter Obi was and remains a crafty person and it always fails him. He was also quoted to have said that he was an eye witness when Peter Obi held up the bible and swore to it before late Odumegwu Ojukwu, that he will never abandon APGA'S larger Political agenda, only for him to contravene the oath. For a start, one cannot be crafty without being deceitful and dual personality is a necessary component of deceit. I have problem reconciling with a person of that nature being in the above posture with the Pope.

On the issue of Peter Obi's abuse of the bible, the bible is the Alpha and Omega of Christianity and catholic faithful in particular. It is the basis of the faith in Jesus Christ. If his friend, Peter Obi swore with the bible as he said and only to violate the oath the next hour, it then follows that he does not believe in the bible both in form and in content. In that case, he is a pretentious Christian and that equally ridicules the picture with the Pope. His abuse of the bible compares positively with Hyde Onuaguluchi's breaking of the cross incident back in the NPN and NPP politics. It ended the political career of Hyde Onuaguluchi.

Arising from the above paragraph, the millions of naira belonging to Anambra state government which Peter Obi gave out to religious organizations with reckless display, an act that can only happen in a third world country, inhabited by a population of docile thoughts and deep-rooted timidity of thought and unmatched fear of the unknown as a way of life, was an investment and thank you gesture on the part of Peter Obi. It had nothing to do with any religious conviction. The spiritual upliftment that was pretended to have been gained by kissing the Pope, left in the abode of the recipient minutes after because of the non-conduciveness of the recipient's internal composition.

Let me digress a little, a few years back, pensioners and staff of Anambra state water corporation and ANESPA employees was dying in their numbers because of hardship occasioned by insensitivity of government of the day in paying them their salaries and entitlements. Peter Obi was untouched by their heart-breaking conditions. While Obiano on the other hand has promptly paid the sum of N1.92 billion to the affected staff, some of who has died. He went on to assert as follows:

"THIS PAY-OFF IS PART OF THE GRAND PLAN OF THE
OBIANO ADMINISTRATION TO HEAL OLD WOUNDS
AND SEAL EVERY POSSIBLE CRACK THAT COULD STAND
IN THE WAY OF HIS EFFORT TO MOVE ANAMBRA STATE
FORWARD'' ..........WILLIE OBIANO

That is real Christianity at work. Let me caution Peter Obi's internet attack dogs to thread with caution in their moronic comments as it could open up all the information cylinders on Peter Obi. Their generic vocabularies and crammed sentences, the end product of a sorted-education may trigger an avalanche of facts publication on Mr Peter Obi. It is not a threat. It is exactly what will happen. Comment as much as you want but do not harm your principal in the process.
