Tribute To Tinubu: A Parody Of Shakespeare By Mohammed Adamu by sammiestar: 10:10am On May 08, 2015
His name is now as household as the “report of
fashion in proud Italy”. He is a leader of leaders;
and a true leader at that; because he commands
not from the rear, but he braces, with his chest
the heat and the chill of all battles. He is the
veritable “Knight of the Garter” of our
contemporary politics; “valiant and virtuous, full
of haughty courage, such as is grown to credit
by the wars; not fearing death nor shrinking
from distress, but always resolute in most
extremes”. Time has proved that where “your
‘good’ word cannot advantage him, your slander
never can en-damage him”.


He is petit and unassuming; as ‘modest as the
dove’; as ‘temperate as the morning’; “for
patience, he will prove a second Grissel”; his
words are “bonds and his oaths are oracles”; his
‘truth’ is as the ‘truth’ of Martin Luther; it is
‘Marching on’; his code of battle as mosaic as
Malcolm X’s: to “Forerun woe with woe”. His is
“courage mounted with occasion”; and although
he is not the war-mongering muckraker, yet he
is one ready always “to parley or to war” -as the
occasion demands. That is the stuff that
‘courage’ is made of: namely that although great
men should not be “mutinous in peace”, yet
when the occasion demands they should be no
less “bold at war”.

He did once assert that the ruling political
dynasty was a deeply rooted evil-iroko tree; hard
put to uproot except it is axed ‘limbs’, ‘trunk’
and ‘torso’! And now he has proved to us that
every ‘obstacle’ has odds to which it must yield;
and that “many strokes, though with a little axe
will hew down and fall the hardest timbered-
oak”. Little did we know he was a prophet of his
own time; – a voice in the wilderness of our
troubled democracy, prophesizing the looming
fall of a ‘behemoth’.

He is Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the Asiwaju and the
Jagaban; once ‘Leader of the Opposition’; now
the great ‘masquerade’ himself daring to be
opposed –if any the courage have! “The blood
stirs more” they say “to rouse a lion than to
start a hare”; but who dares to rouse a lion
must have more than a mortal’s measure of
blood! Tinubu is the Hannibal of our time; the
scourge of the ruling political dynasty –now in
its inevitable throes of death. For device and
tactic, he has proved another Hercules; for “grim
aspect” and for knitted brow in moments of
battle, he is the Hector of our age. Thus Tinubu
is Hannibal, Hercules and Hector all in one!
It is said that “When ‘Fortune’ means to men
most good, ’She’ looks upon them with a
threatening eye”. Tinubu did not, yesterday, walk
the paved or gilded roads to the hill station of
today’s renown; he has braved the dry and
dusty weathers of Fortune’s threatening stare;
and in reward of which both “Nature and Fortune
have now joined to make him great”. He is now
the “theme of Honor’s tongue, Sweet Fortune’s
minion and her pride”; but more than else he is
today, “among the groove of his rank, the
straightest plant”.

“Small curs” they say, “are not regarded when
they grin; but great men tremble when the lion
roars”. They are right Tinubu, you are truly a
Lion in a rare den that is uniquely yours; but
they are dead wrong, you are not ‘The Lion of
Boudilon’; that is a den too small for a Lion with
your kind of Mane! The Asiwaju is more suited
to ‘The Lord of the Nigerian Manor’ –that is a
befitting ‘den’ truly your size.

“Strong reasons make strong actions”; or so the
Great Shakespeare would say. Once a troubled
nation we did stand as “upon a rock environed
by a wilderness of sea”, waiting for the surge of
the ocean’s tempests to make of us a
sumptuous meal; but just when we were
hovering around the precipice, when it seemed
almost as “far from help as Limbo is from
bliss”, just then Tinubu, in a league of amity
with our nation’s greats, alighted right in the
firmament of our political woes”; for the
inevitable to happen, -a battle long foretold
between the army of ‘good’ and the forces of
‘evil’; between ‘change’ to a libertarian today and
tomorrow and ‘continuity’ of the impunity and
arbitrariness of old.

Let the annals of our history bear witness, that
in that battle the Jagaban “stirred as the time”,
you were “fire for fire”, you “threatened the...

Eya o ma se o, we told your likes that BAT is unstopable, what we saw since BAT survived OBJ is the reason why OBJ did his best to stop BAT.
It is the same reason a certain Goodluck flew into Lagos in the night to appease the political Hercules at Bourdillon, to make sure ACN alliance with CPC did not work.
Unfortunately while Mr Goodluck was all smiles, a certain general who felt despised was sheding tears because he knows what the failure of the alliance meant for himself and the country at large.
Four years after, Hercules will have nothing in common with Goodluck, and Goodluck thinking its all about money and my God he did spend money !!.
Unfortunately for Goodluck Hercules had the midas touch and so everything he touch turns to gold so the same GMB that was rejected was repackaged and people bought him thereby sentencing you and your ilks into timeless moaning, groaning and gnashing of teeths.
Lesson, gba fun eni to ju e lo, ki o ma ba pa ara e, gbigba fun olorun ni isinmi.
