I read with undivided interest, a rebuttal on Vanguard editorial of April 15, 2022 by Donu Kogbara on the "Christianization," or rather, "RCCGination" of the nation by prof Yemi Osibanjo in which a renown US based Nigerian Prof., Farooq Kperogi, consistently ill-conceived a campaign of calumny against the person of the Vice President, Professor Yemi Osibanjo, I must say that the rebuttal was apt and timely. For the avoidance of doubt, and without any fear of contradiction, Prof. Farooq Kperogi is one writer I respect so much for his metaphors and frontal cortex of the state of the nation, Nigeria.

Before anyone thinks the Prof (Farooq Kperogi) has anything personal against the Vice President, I want to quickly remind them that Kperogi has, through his columns, reiterated his indignation on the person of Tinubu, President Buhari and a number of other political elites. However, the learned Prof. erred for singling out Prof. Yemi Osibanjo in a bigoted manner without recourse to logic. As a matter of fact, the Prof is 'educated by the half' matters relating to Christendom.

To put issues into perspective, there is first and foremost, nothing like "Christianization" in the Christendom. As a matter of fact, becoming a Christian is a matter of choice and personal conviction, no one, however highly placed, can enforce Christianity on any individual; not even the Vice President. Prof. Farooq erred when he repeatedly used lexicons like "Christian sect" as though there were any. I respect the Prof. and his editorials, but the use of such phrase is an anomaly.

Back to the person of the Vice President, it is a truism that he has his own baggage of the unbridled rendezvous for which the Buhari led administration has plummeted the nation into – economic woes, insecurity, hunger, poverty, name them all, but religious sentiments or RCCGination as Prof Kperogi puts it, is definitely not one of them. If this narrative is a replay of the dissenting voices that firmly reaffirmed the bigoted nature of President Buhari in the pre-2015 campaigns (for which we have undoubtedly and manifestly seen playing out in the areas of appointment, and his body language against terrorism) – is what Prof. Kperogi is realigning to malign the person of the astute Vice President, then it's dead on arrival!

Politics aside, the Vice President cannot reinforce what does not exist in Christiandom (Christianization), not even RCCGination – a claim which the office of the Vice President have come out to debunk with video evidence showing a good number of Muslim appointees working in the Office of the Vice President, and definitely not "Christianization."

though am not in support of PDP or APC leadership to still be ruling the nation and leading us astray, but since nigerians have decided to be glued to these two evil parties, regardless of the havock, their rulership have brought upon the nation, i will prefer either VP Osinbajo from APC or peter obi from PDP to emerge the next president from either of this political parties, because they look more human with human feelings than the rest people in the race.
Peter obi talk much of accountability in government, which is what Nigeria need most now, and prof, Osinbajo should value sanctity of lives as a proclaimed man of God.
Nigerians need a caring leader who can stop these needless killings of innocent nigerians.
we don't need a government, that will be there, without actually been there anymore.

Prof. Kperogi has particularly been unfair to Yemi Osibanjo. He tried painting the Vice President black using Christianization as an excuse

do you blame him, when he is viewing Nigeria from the far distance from the diaspora, with a figuratively like broken mirror, thereby getting a twisted and partial view of what is the real situation in Nigeria, especially the complicated political system of the nation.
average Nigerian know that with the present wrong structure of the system, the office of the vice-president is just ceremonial and lam-duck, that can do no jack, over any government wrong policies.
at best the VP can only advice the president who have the final say.
but I had expected VP Osinbajo to have resigned if the president refused to listen to his advice, on how to stop the current killings and maiming of nigerians by these terrorists, bandits and criminal herders.
but he just sit in office, watching helplessly, while nigerians are slaughtered daily with nauseating impunity.

Please explain to me what Osibanjo has done to warrant being trusted as a president

Because he is educated and speak good English ? Or because he appears humble ?

He hasn't been an exceptional vice president infact he is the worse in recent years

Even atiku spoke out against his principle and made his opinion known
Buhari CPC lacked the numbers to impeach him so what was he afraid of ?

So you want to tell me if Buhari has ordered mass murder in his village he would keep quiet because he doesn't want to offend his master ? That shows how much he rates Nigerians , how much he cares

If u mention fashola then I can understand his works as governor speak for him ... osibanjo has done absolutely nothing to be trusted

You could have actually started your epistle by telling us what Obi has to offer Nigerians instead of always attacking others.

You people have been shying away from doing proper campain by telling Nigerians the reason why they need to vote for your party/candidate

Obi's achievements in Anambra state when we are talking about ruling Nigeria of 200m population. What's the population of Anambra state?

What influence or development is in Obi's name in other SE region?

What has Osinbajo achieved as VP, hahahaha, he has achieved more than some elected president couldn't do. We all witnessed his actions during the short time period he had full power.

The empowerment programs which have been running for years is been handled by him. Infact, he has performed above average compared to all the past VP's who used to be Dundee's to their president

Oya oga name two things osibanjo achieved ?

You haven't listed what Osibanjo has ever achieved nah you can't because nothing

He even got professorship without PhD ...SAN we all know is association of former state attorney generals and few politically connected lawyers ...what has he achieved that's not linked to government

His intervention in the NDA palava which could have cost the country a lot.

There is no African countries who rolled out empowerment or grants program like Nigeria during Covid period. Osinbajo championed the program.

Technologically, you have no idea how many both local and foreign investors that have started relocating their business to Nigeria. Some are even starting afresh from Nigeria. All those are part of the portfolio Osinbajo is handling

The good thing about all what I have listed, they are feasible to the blind, audible to the deaf. Osinbajo's achievements are not paper done, they are real life done.

The sad part about you oppositions, even when you know something is glaring, admitting them have always been challenges to you lots.

We would do our campaign by continue telling Nigerians what our candidate has to offer without even involving the opposition not to talk of attacking them. We are keeping things real like Olaitan

If he is a true follower of Jesus Christ, he will campaign for south east to produce the president. Jesus was a preacher of justice, equity, fair play which he espoused in the Gospel when he declared that he came down to sacrifice his life to save the world, osinbajo should sacrifice his ambition for Justice and fair play.

Bros stop talking to much grammar

Mention two things osibanjo did to stop NDA

I know you not today. You too like back and forth argument. After telling you the 2 approaches Osinbajo made, you will still twist that to ask another question.

you are absolutely right about his unbridled loyalty to Oga bubu, which is totally wrong.
infact i actually expected him to resign, immediately he realized he cannot positively influence the policy trust of this government.
but since nigerians are not helping issues by shamelessly glueing to the two evil parties, without thinking of any alternatives, the lesser evil choices in the two parties are ; peter obi and VP Osinbajo.
because it's now certain that powers behind the throne prefer to support VP Osinbajo to emerge as APC presidential candidate, than other contenders.
Personally i still believe that as a pastor, Osinbajo should have a mind of his own than presently exhibiting, if he is totally in charge as the president and commander in chief.

My take is that


Some professors are really mad people in clean dresses and few of them are roaming the streets.

Just simply accept you don't know what Osibanjo has done that you can name simple

You can ask me same of Peter obi even if I'm not from Anambra watch me name you 5 sectors obi met and changed in Anambra that's still effective till today ..

But first name what Osibanjo did in clear terms not ambiguous empty words or accept you don't know

How is osibanjo better than umiah ... osibanjo is not better than tinubu age aside ... osibanjo is certainly not the lesser evil he is at par with Buhari

when last did you visited ebonyi ?
as we are talking now, there is a serious communal clashes between two brotherly communities, were innocent people are being slaughtered like chickens, how have umahi been able to stop the carnage?
instead he sit upon the throne of governance, while his subjects are being slaughtered- a typical example of a bubu character.
I believe Osinbajo, given the right atmosphere will never descend that low, as a learned man, and also a man of God.
if nigerians must support anybody from the east and from the PDP, at this point in time, it must be Mr peter obi, because his past speak for him, forget about all those online paid agents, assigned to pull him down.
but unfortunately Nigeria is not yet ready for a serious minded person like peter obi, whose type of government of absolute accountability will mean bad business to the corrupt entities, who have built their own empires with proceeds of corruption.
lack of accountability in government is actually the root source of much of our problems as a nation.

So security is now the responsibility of the governor ?

No governor in the history of Nigeria has achieved what umiah did in infrastructure and you thing communal class us what you want to use against him ?

There is no area osibanjo is better than umiah absolutely no since area

Osibanjo is not the lesser evil in APC ... support him because he is your brother but own up to it

am not from the south west as you think, but for Nigeria to move forward in a right direction, the citizens must eschew tribal and religious sentiments and face the truth.
if as a governor he has nothing to do with the security of the citizens, what made him to make the feeble attempt at founding a security out fit called ebube agu ?
if that security out fit is well funded and well equipped, it can always take care of any community crisis, even without involving the local police, except for the stubborn ones that need to be prosecuted.
but just like Oga bubu, he prefer bogus infrastructure more than the safety of human lives.
but without security for the safety of citizens, no meaningful enduring development can be sustained.
but from the present reality in Nigeria, we need somebody like peter obi, who can run government of accountability as he once did when he was the governor, but it certain the system will not allow such a serious minded person like peter obi, so I will settle for the next lesser evil in the form VP Osinbajo.
but I would have preferred if nigerians can boycott these two evil parties called PDP and APC, because am doubtful of any credible leadership to come out from their midst.
if you must know, my favorite candidate is Mr peter obi because he can actually maintain a semblance of good government in Nigeria, but if they can't allow Mr Obi, to be there, let Osinbajo be there.
