VP Osinbajo is a boot-licking asshole. He is a sycophant and houseboy to the exalted desert man.

don't worry time will come when you will realize. The Bible contains biographies of several great men and women, many of them powerful leaders—kings, pharaohs, judges, priests, prophets, apostles.

What follows then is simply a matter of history: Within His chosen nation, Israel, and chosen people, what system did God use to place an individual into a position of authority?

And then—just as important—how did those leaders perform in their offices?

Studying this history provides some instructive contrasts to the system currently employed by Nigeria African superpower.

The example of David, the renowned king of Israel for 40 years, is well known, and found in 1 Samuel 16. Israel was languishing under the despotic rule of Saul, whose reign was coming to an end. God sent the Prophet Samuel to a man named Jesse, explaining simply, “I have provided me a king among his sons” (verse 1).

There was no election, no conclave of officials—no campaigning, stumping or intriguing—no debate, no arguing or legal tussling. God Himself just looked down and single-handedly chose and appointed Saul’s replacement to lead the nation.

Not only that, but notice the method by which God made the choice.

When Samuel arrived and explained his intent, the proud Jesse presented before the prophet his eldest, and apparently most impressive, son. Here is what happened: “But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart” (verse 7). Discerning the heart of this striking young man, God refused him.

In fact, not only him; God likewise refused each of several sons Jesse presented (verses 8-10). Other scriptures verify God’s omniscience, and His ability to discern a person’s thoughts (e.g. Job 34:21; Hebrews 4:13; 1 John 3:20). God perceived supernaturally that not one of these fine young men would be fit for the rigors and responsibilities of the kingship. Finally, Jesse had to call from the fields the youngest of his sons, David—whom no one had even thought worthy of consideration by Samuel.

Clearly, God chooses His leaders using an entirely different set of criteria than men do.

Nairalanders might assume nobody is this dumb but I beg to differ.


Osinbajo is not a Vice Principal.

He is the Vice President of the Federal republic of Nigeria.

He is a GCON

Senior Advocate of Nigeria

And a Professor of Law.
