Politics10 Undeniable Facts And Lessons From This Election by olumide54(op): 10:34pm On Feb 16, 2019
10 UNDENIABLE FACTS AND LESSONS FROM THIS ELECTION:

1. If you don't do well as an elected officer, Nigerians are now ready to change their leaders every 4 years.

2. Youths will be more involved in politics as from now. I'll suggest they start from grassroot level.

3. You can't come from nowhere and think you can win Nigerians with sweet words or in a thuggish manner.

4. Don't make too much promises before contesting. You'll be shocked to see that there are no resources to fulfill them.

5. APC/PDP can only be overthrown from any office if there are only three political parties in Nigeria.

6. Sweet words doesn't fool Nigerians again neither does statistics. Reality check on individuals, groups and communities will justify your reign.

7. Because you're young doesn't mean you will do well in office. That's why I prefer #VoteACompetentPerson to #NotTooYoungToRun. Take a look at the youngest governor in Nigeria.

8. Nigerians don't forget easily again, they might collect your money but will remind you of the bad moves you've made
.
9. You must put a means of living in their hands before you start building any road or bridge even hospitals.

10. If you're not doing well, be sincere, ask for help and step aside. Nigerians still appreciate sincerity.

Christianity EtcA Perspective To Comedy, Pageant And Secular Music On Altars by olumide54(op): 6:48pm On Dec 12, 2018
WHAT WOULD HE SAY by Olumide Olanrewaju

What you’re about to read are my personal opinions about my religion, so only constructive criticism are appreciated. In this short epistrophe, I refuse to take any side whether it is right or wrong; I’m of the view of adding WHAT WOULD HE SAY OR DO as a fresh perspective to the longing contemporary issues about some activities.

So recently, I read about a Christian centre, where they organize beauty pageant INSIDE THE CHURCH; I was wowed, like have we actually gotten to that extent. Like I said I wouldn’t know if it is right or wrong. Because I know some will come at me that, where is it written in the bible that: “thou shall not hold a beauty pageant in the church”, some will say it is an avenue to engage in some activities/programmes so that the youth wouldn’t do the same outside the church. I just hope that one day I will be able to smoke holy marijuana in the church and surround myself with holy strippers too since I wouldn’t want to the same outside the church.

MY STAND: WHAT WOULD HE SAY? I mean someone you hold in high esteem and worship by its name is physically present. You mean he would also join the judges or audience and say “Oh! I love that intelligent curvy lady with the perfect nose and jaws. No No No; look at the nose of this one like small letter m, hahaha look at her legs like yam too; ohh! I love that chocolate lady, you should know that chocolate is my thing; oh! As beautiful as you are, you can’t answer this simple question, so dull. It might be funny, but take your time to imagine what would Jesus do or say if you could see him present in such activities?

Another is the issue of comedians on the altar; as much as I love comedy and I feel like we should have time to relax off. The place of worship is not a theatre for jest or an abode for comedians to entertain. Interestingly, they even mock the trinity in our presence; use them in scenarios they can’t use for their parents and rubbish the diverse tongues of the Holy Spirit and it sounds so funny to us. It’s so sad, as in right in their presence in a church. Again, some will come at me that, where is it written in the bible that: “thou shall not laugh or have fun in the church”, some will say aren’t those comedians Christians too. Personally, I don’t see a reason why a separate progamme can’t be held for such purpose where insulting words are cautioned too, must it be within a congregational service, some even precedes Holy Communion services. But then these days, most churches are geared towards increasing their number at all cost (entertaining all kind of things).

MY STAND: WHAT WOULD HE SAY? Take your time to imagine what would Jesus do or say if you could see him present. Would he probably laughing out loud to the demeaning jokes about himself and tapping the Holy spirit saying look at your life … hahaha, na you dem finish like this. Or he would stand up and shout “Area”. Or what would you think he would do? Personally, it shows how well we value the trinity.

Another is reconstructing secular music/slang. If not for lack of creativity, I don’t see a reason why these new and young gospel artists should go extra length just to change lyrics of secular music. A lot of people have composed their gospel songs from scratch and received global recognition without tapping into what is trending in the secular world. Today is not the day to argue which is right or wrong to listen to. I listen to both. And I draw my boundaries at both sides; yea even for gospel; I watched some stage performances and music videos recently and all I could see is that they are gradually migrating into what everybody wants to see. As a gospel artist, if you’re after what everybody wants, you can’t stand out. You’re just drinking from a mirage; it won’t stand the test of time. So instead of tapping into already popular secular music to gain speedy popularity, go back to your altar and ask for grace. If a secular musician could make billboard top 100, why can’t you?

One thing about music, music is not in the sounds that come out of the mouth; it is in what the soul thinks of it. The soul seeks for its source and connects to its deity. So songs not borne out of worshipping God, how do you think changing the lyrics will make it get to God? Personally and if you won’t lie , when we listen to these songs, our mind is always completing the lyrics with the un-doctored version of the song and probably visualizing how the video vixen was twisting to the rhymes in the music video. No lies.

MY STAND: WHAT WOULD HE SAY? Take your time to imagine what would Jesus do or say if you could see him present. Would he join you in the worship when he already knows where you’re coming from? Forget the fact that it made people cry or it has broken the congregation; the cry can be coming from the emotional seat, same way when see dehumanizing events and cry and not necessarily because the heavens are shaking; in fact, when we just close our eyes and imagine things, we are liable to cry. So if you think the goodness of the lyrics is what makes heaven comes down, judgment wouldn’t start from the church. May we be present in his presence to receive our presents because of his presence while he is actually present and not because he is omnipresent.

To the “where is it written in the bible” kind of people. The holy book is not just like an organizational policy handbook where the expected codes and conducts are been stated with their corresponding sanctions or disciplinary measures. Its more than that, there are things that are not stated the exact way you want it to appear, but for the sake of the gospel, Paul said. I’ll do away with them (avoid controversies). There are ways that seems right to man, but the end is destruction.

The bible is just a concise written version of what God wants you to know at hand. You wouldn’t get more if the wordings are not transformed in you. But these days, we only skim through, and rejoice because our ulterior motives are not stated clearly.

When someone tells you that Jesus didn’t do this and that in the New Testament as the only excuse for we not to do some things, ask him/her, if it was written that… and Jesus brushed his teeth; but why is he doing so?

THE KEYPOINT is because the death and resurrection of Christ has torn the veil of the temple and made the holy of holies easily accessible doesn’t mean the altar should lose its standard.

Enjoy your day!

Behold, you knights
Today, we fight with all our might
Go home now this noon, go and say your goodnights
For we may not return to these sights
Go, I pray! May our ancestors receive souls that falleth tonight

Now assemble all; across all borders
Princesses, royal bloods even traders
Beat the drums, raise the tunes of the praisers
For the king seeketh a beauty, tell the criers
For victory only reside with risk-takers

For hopes to have a queen do fall and rise
But Lo! I set my eye on what is perfectly right
Why is everyone slow and the moon so bright?
Oh! maybe trance, some hallucinations at its height
But no! this is a sign, this is my appointed time

She said `I'm Ashake from a close county'
Well my lady, your beauty set my soul singing
Becall unto the heavens, an angel must be missing
I hear peace ringing
For have found the precious piece that have been missing

So tell the warriors to enjoy the moment, no more hunting!

OLUMIDE FOR PRESIDENT 2019
The first thing I’ll do is to change the map of Nigeria to a perfect square shape and then sell off the excesses to neighboring countries to put other things in shape. You feel my rhymes? But then, that sound stupid just like #NotTooYoungToRun.
Age is now a criterion to good governance right? One of those bizarre movements you’ll only find in this part of the world. I just want to believe I’m not the only one not seeing a correlation between been young and having the required competencies to run a working government. Why not #PutACompetentPersonInPower ??
I think in total, we will have less than 20 candidates under or 40years running for the topmost positions; President, Senate and House of Reps. We are encouraged to vote for them. WHY? Answer: Because they are YOUNG! That’s silly. Have they been tested and found incorruptible, can they manage resources well; what their plan apart from been young. Some will say; let us see what they will do first. Just like the old men, all youths have tendency to live a luxurious lifestyle too even if they can’t store it up somewhere in cash. I hope we won’t manage a youth that will eventually close a seaport because bae is on vacation on a yacht closeby or shut down a mall because his kids are shopping or use the presidential jet to deliver his designer outfits weekly.
Due to thirst for real power, Nigerian youths won’t practice grass root politics; that’s why a godfather can boast of having slots that takes up close to half of the total seats in Federal House of Assembly. You think, you can just wake up and post “I HAVE A DREAM” on instagram and then get to seat in the House after the election. It doesn’t work that way; Nigeria is not a theatre of dreams where people you’ve never met will support your personal convictions just because they see it in you and they believe you have what it takes. We need to work our ass up from the grassroots. Imagine if youths can take up all the councilor’s seats, the LG seats and State House of Assemblies; before you know we are converging and raising an irresistible voice such that we can jointly raise a competent person to rise to the topmost federal seats. By this time, they have been tested with some resources, we will know their ideologies, capabilities and select out of the numerous unlike the two famous lone wolves deceiving themselves.
Some youths are either godson – puppets just like the VP, some are sponsored ads to divide the votes of the opponents and our supposed #NotTooYoungToRun candidates also want to ride on our intelligence by using their previous fame and affiliation to shift our mind from their capabilities. One promised 100k minimum wage, one will never stop using analogies, rhymes and sweet words; another started with my dad is an orphan. These are strategies already used by the grandpas in power, so how are they different, just a younger version of them. I don’t see why Sowore or Durotoye can’t start from taking up gubernatorial positions; or probably House of Rep or senate and let’s see what they are up to; everything looks like thirst for power to me or rather a show of shame because they won’t even win the LG of their respective hometowns.
#NotTooYoung is still an online thing for Instagram and Twitter households that will mostly like not step out on Election Day. People that will really queue up for hours to vote are on the streets ready to collect rice and semovita again since the youths are not ready and the grandpas knows how to settle their wants to get what they want.
SO, WALK UP THE LANE AND YOUR FOOTPRINTS WILL BE NOTED; FLY TO THE TOPMOST POSITIONS AND FADE AWAY QUICKLY. If we don’t have the patience, let’s focus on our grind and control the economy; if Facebook was a country; Mark will be the Prime Minister of the most populated and diverse country in the world. Imagine other professions in the entertainment world where a single person has up to a 100 million followers on social media with an influence some presidents doesn’t have.
Let the people that can do it, do it irrespective of their age; if the grandpas keep blaming past administrations; if a young man gets there and then he couldn’t find the solution; guess who to blame? And then the blame game continues. If pushing incompetent youths to power is the new avenue to eat national cake, let’s eat our tomorrow’s yam now and then tomorrow we will grumble about the clueless man we voted in on @instablog9ja like we always do.

Odun: (screams WATCHOUT!!!)
(Olu stepped on the brake abruptly)
Odun: Jesus, please concentrate, I think we should have this conversation later. You almost got us killed.
(They stepped out of the car; Odun rushed towards the child on the road)
Odun: Are you alright baby?
Boy: yes aunty
Odun: Thank you Jesus.
(A woman rushed to the boy from the other side of the road.
Woman: Ayo! Are you alright?
Ayo: yes mummy
Woman: (facing Odun and Olu); are you blind, you want to kill my joy right. Ha! Just thank your star that nothing happened to my son.
Olu: we are sorry ma
Woman: sorry for yourself. Imagine you’re speeding on a busy neighbourhood by this time of the day.
(The woman carried her son)
Woman: Oluwa o ma se o (God, I thank you )
(Olu followed her)
Olu: My name is Olu, I am so sorry for what happened and we thank God that there’s no casualty. I will like to see the boy again and atleast have a discussion with you.

Bunmi: Thank you
(Olu returns to the car to meet Odun)

(Olu’s Compound)
(The assassins are in the car strategizing)
Boss: All we have to do is go in to House 5 and kill the guy quietly. He may likely be with a lady as usual. All info indicates he is around and has a daughter with him. The sole aim is to shoot the guy only unless there’s any other attack.
Others: Yes Boss
Boss: You (pointing to one of them), you’ll stay in the car with him. Give us quick info if anything is going wrong. You (pointing to another), you will stay at the gate unmasked to keep the entrance secured. Myself and XY will enter to do the deal. We are doing this in two minutes. Alright?
Others: Yes Boss!

Odun took a picture of the car’s plate number. They drove off)
(People started rushing out of their houses and screaming for help. Olu stepped out to help the people carry the bodies of shola and her boyfriend to the car. An ambulance arrived and they placed them on life support while being taken away.)
(Assasins in their hideout)
(The Boss slapped XYZ)
Boss: Mehn, you’re done here XY. This is the simplest operation, can you imagine? You tripped on a common bucket, what could have happened if I didn’t take them down.
XYZ: Please Boss, I will explain, please spare me
Boss: You know the rules mehn, you make mistakes capable of revealing our secrets and getting us arrested. The person is done.
(Boss brought out his gun)
Boss: Take, do it yourself or I’ll make it slow for you
XYZ: Please…. One more chance
Boss: You have 30 seconds
(XYZ collected the gun but quickly pointed it towards Boss to shoot him only to discover that there were no bullets inside.)
Boss: That was just a test. (He claps)
Boss: OP, shoot him.

Boss: Dispose his body as early as possible tomorrow morning.

Officer: Yes ma…
Detective: You’ll need to come with us for some further questioning and then we’ll release you to join your family at the hospital.

(Assassins were disturbed and disorganized in their hideout)
(OP signals to Boss to meet him outside)
OP: Egbon, we killed the wrong guy. That guy is not Olu, I saw him outside with another lady.
Boss: Damm! I hope they didn’t see you.
OP: They saw me
Boss: This is a big fuckup
OP: am I going to be killed?
Boss: This is between us, I’ll handle it. No worries.
(Phone conversation)
Officer Kay: Boss, Olu is here with us, what happened during the operation
Boss: there were minor issues
Officer Kay: He’ll be on his way to the hospital very soon without escort; I’ll feed you back on the latest.

We received a call from the Pastor in charge of your church, he acknowledge that you’re on an evangelism programme and the M.D of Wale Hotels & Suites said you all come often too.(Tolu, Olu and Abraham stared at one another). Mr Olu Lanre, you will remain here for further investigation on this matter.
Olu: What do you mean officer? Bayo is my best friend, I have nothing to do with what happened.
Dolapo: You’re found in possession of hard drugs if when taken in excess and lead to incapacitation, brain damage and eventually death. We also found sleeping pills in your apartment, from our records; you don’t have any health challenges that require the drug.



Dolapo: Mr Olu, you’re the last person on his call log, on his body, we found traces of drugs we found in your apartment, you’re the only one planning to meet Mr Bayo and you decided to meet him after telling him you’re postponing the meeting till night. Mr Olu, you have access to Mr Bayo’s belongings especially his Range Rover which you used this morning. Is it out of envy?
(Olu placed his hands on his head)
Olu: Oh Lord! Excuse me, what is this wrong allegation for? I want my lawyer
Dolapo: Yes, you’re definitely entitled to one, but that will be tomorrow morning. Please follow officer Wole. But you can save us the stress by confessing
(Phone Conversation)
Dolapo: Hello dear
Man: How are you?
Dolapo: Am fine dear, we have a case at hand and I won’t be coming home tonight, I’ll get something to eat. I should be free before evening.

(INVESTIGATION ROOM, POLICE HEADQUARTERS)
Officer Dolapo in the room with Abraham, Tolu, Olu, a lawyer and some officers)
Dolapo: The autopsy report reveals that Mr Bayo died from a long-time kidney infection coupled with gonorrhoea.
Tolu: praise the Lord, (looks round). I mean praise the Lord, we are not the one.
Dolapo: This may be as result of unhealthy lifestyle and lack or late treatment. I believe this has dismissed the case. But Mr Olu, you’ll be required to report here everyday to answer the drug related case.
Abraham: Thank you ma for doing your work with all honesty.
(Abraham tapped Tolu)
Abraham: Just now, you’re already snoring, let’s go home
Dolapo: Be law abiding gentlemen, maybe one day you’ll be police officers too
Tolu: (Song: Laiye laiye e baby kojor..)

“You think this is a sorry note, your brain still needs protein. I want you to know that you can’t win me. It’s now 2-2. Good luck with your life and your Mountain dew friend”.
