Why A Muslim-Muslim Ticket is a Bad Idea

That Bola Ahmed Tinubu is the leading individual to become President of Nigeria in 2023 is a fact that cannot be easily disputed. Tinubu is the presidential flagbearer of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in the coming elections and it is not a secret that in our clime the matter of incumbency acts as a great advantage for those who are seeking political power. They have the resources of state at their disposal; they have political structures littering the whole national space; and they have an army of hungry and jobless people at their disposal.

So it was not surprising that the person that will become Tinubu’s vice became a hotly contested matter in the political space in the country in the last few weeks. This afternoon, that debate was put to rest when Tinubu elected Senator Kashim Shettima, a former Governor of Borno State, a sitting Senator in the country and a Muslim, as his running mate for the forthcoming elections. Tinubu is perfectly within his right to choose whoever he wishes as his deputy in government. What he fails to realize, however, is that the matter of a Muslim-Muslim ticket is an issue in today’s Nigeria since he himself is a professing Muslim.

Those who brought about the tradition of presenting two individuals representing the two dominant religions in Nigeria did so in recognition of the reality that the country is divided almost equally between Christians and Muslims. We speak mostly of a Muslim north and a Christian south in Nigeria, even though we are quite aware that there are thriving Christian populations in the north and a large Muslim population in Southern Nigeria.

Yet, the religious divide is almost an accepted reality and when it comes to politics, politicians want to show the electorate that they have the sensitive matter of the religious divide covered. In 2015, Bola Ahmed Tinubu had to step down from being Muhamadu Buhari’s running mate because it became apparent to the APC that religion was quite a sensitive matter in Nigeria and that if the APC will remove the People Democratic Party (PDP) from power, they will have to show some regard to the Christian population.

Thankfully they did this, and the result was the removing of an incumbent from office – something that has never happened in our nation’s political history. It is therefore difficult for me to comprehend why the same Tinubu will dispose of all counsel and still go for a Muslim as his running mate today.

An argument that has been proffered in Tinubu’s defense is that the 1993 elections saw M.K.O Abiola, a Muslim, team up with a Babagana Kingibe, another Muslim, to produce the freest, fairest and most popular election that this country has ever witnessed. What these people who proffer this argument fail to realize is that 1993 is a good thirty years ago. Times have changed: the social realities that we are faced with today are totally different from what was happening in 1993.

In 1993 we had no Boko Haram. In 1993 we had a military government that had been in power for close to a decade and with whom people were quite eager to see leave power. In 1993 the debate over a Muslim-Muslim ticket was brought forward but it was quite easily dispelled by the raging realities on ground in those days. Today, such arguments cannot be easily put aside.

Another reason why the Muslim-Muslim ticket is not a workable plan for Nigeria is because of the raging insecurity that the Boko Haram insurgency has brought upon our country. Just a few days ago, a variant of Boko Haram, the ISWAP, swooped down on Kuje, a community in Abuja, the nation’s Federal Capital City, and effected a prison break that saw more than 60 insurgents, who had been incarcerated by the state, released into the general populace.

As Nigerians come to grip with rising insecurity in the land, we also have allegations of collaborations between government officials and the insurgents. No one has been able to explain how the military checkpoints, situated at major points en-route Kuje, were suddenly replaced with new personals who barely knew their way around the area – all of these happening less than twenty-four hours before the attack.

Former President Goodluck Jonathan, a Christian, spoke of having Boko Haram sympathizers in his government. It is clear to observers that there are elements within government that have sympathy for the ideas of these lunatics. When Nigerians now take the government of their nation and put it in the hands of a Muslim president and a Muslim vice, we are clearly then putting ourselves at the mercies of more individuals who might have sympathies for these insurgents

. This is obviously not a time to disregard cries from the Christian Association of Nigeria that has been telling the APC that a Muslim-Muslim ticket is a bad idea at a time like this. Ignoring calls from Christian organizations and imposing such a one sided religious perspective on the country’s elections will certainly ostracize Christian voters. Tinubu is touted as a master political strategist. Unfortunately, in this one situation he has failed to read the handwriting on the wall and I will not be surprised if this singular action of his prove the deathknell on his ambition to be President of Nigeria.

As the nation approaches the 2023 general elections, the two other leading political figures and parties in contest for the office of the presidency of Nigeria are Atiku Abubakar’s People Democratic Party and the Peter Obi’s Labor Party. Atiku has gone to the South-south of Nigeria and picked a Christian Ifeanyi Okowa, sitting governor of Delta State, as his running mate. While Peter Obi just picked Yusuff Datti Baba-Ahmed, a Muslim, from Northern Nigeria, as his running mate.

These two parties understand the nature of the religious divide in Nigeria and have keyed into it while selecting those who will become their deputies in office. While Atiku may have done well in choosing a Christian as his deputy, he also has a lot of baggage that he is contesting with as he seeks to be President of Nigeria. So that in my estimation the greatest threat to Tinubu emerging as Nigeria’s President is not Atiku Abubakar but actually Peter Obi. And it is this Obi phenomenon that has made the decision Tinubu look like a very bad one. I will conclude this essay by explaining why.

Whether Tinubu envisages this or not, there is a teaming Christian population in Nigeria that have become tired of the way and manner government is run in Nigeria. The eight-year rule of Muhammadu Buhari appears to be one that treats issues of Islamic insurgencies with kid gloves. Besides that, there has also been the raging phenomenon of Fulani herdsmen in the country that has resulted in the death of hundreds of people.

Only recently, insurgents attacked a Catholic Church in Owo, Ondo State, leaving scores of innocent worshippers dead. The fact is that the ongoing insecurity in the land, coupled with the ruling party’s disregard for the country’s Christian population, has given the Peter Obi phenomenon greater admiration with the Christian voting populace. Churches that were hitherto apolitical, have begun to use their pulpits to campaign for a Christian president and Peter Obi is the only one among the three leading political figure that fit the bill. Tinubu’s action in choosing a Muslim as his running mate has totally ostracize a large voting bloc from the Christian populace.

As I have mentioned already, Bola Ahmed Tinubu is perfectly within his right to choose whoever will be his running mate but it should be noted that in spite of this master political tactician’s wisdom when it comes to elections, he clearly does not know it all. There is a biblical statement that usually follows incidents that don’t appear normal: when Samson went to the Philistines and sought a wife among those who were considered the enemies of Israel, people did not understand why he did it.

But the Bible records that such an event was from the Lord because he sought an occasion of confrontation with the Philistines so that he could destroy them (Judges 14:4). In the same vein, Tinubu’s choosing a Muslim vice at a time like this may just as well be an occasion from God. It is not difficult for God to put an error of judgement in a leading political figure, no matter how minute, that will go a long way in determining who will lead this country. As Christians, we pray daily that God will put to shame the enemies of Nigeria and help destroy them. May God answer our prayers and do what is right for our beloved country, Nigeria.

The Inevitable Defeat of Pastor Tunde Bakare

By: Deji Yesufu

In my estimation, Pastor Tunde Bakare was the best of all the aspirants that sought the Presidential ticket on the platform of the All Progressive Congress (APC). That Tunde Bakare got zero votes from the primaries is more of an indictment on all of Nigerians. It is a testimony to the fact that the best of us continue to languish at the base of the country, while the worst of the lot enter political office. In a normal country, no one should be pushing an Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu or an Abubakar Atiku as president. Alas, this is not a normal country and we are left again to choose between the devil and the deep blue sea. The only ray of hope in the horizon, at least for some of us, is the Peter Obi phenomenon. This essay is not about Peter Obi; I have written quite a bit on him already. Instead, I want to examine something that I choose to call “The Inevitable Defeat of Pastor Tunde Bakare”, while at the same time draw out some relevant lessons.

In the year 1998, my third year in the University, I came to living faith in Jesus Christ. In a dramatic turn of events in my life, I became very religious and decided that I was going to make God, in Christ Jesus, the central focus of my personhood. I have never regretted that decision because it has helped me a lot in decision making. That same year, I met a young man called Israel Badaki. He was studying Geology at ABU, my alma mata, and was a rather reserved fellow. He took a liking in me and began to mentor me in the Christian faith. One of the tapes he gave me to listen to was preached by a totally unknown Tunde Bakare. The first message of Bakare I listened to was “Prophetic Cave Dwellers”. In this message, Bakare drew out lessons from the life of Elijah, particularly that instance where God told him that He had 7,000 that had not bowed the knee to Baal. Bakare said that although the life of the 7,000 that were following God in the days of idolatry in Israel was commendable, there was still that blemish in them: they were God’s prophets who chose to live in caves. That message instilled something in me: Christians cannot afford to be silent in the days when tyranny rules in the land.

Tunde Bakare exemplified this message perfectly because in the days when Sanni Abacha reigned with terror in Nigeria, Bakare spoke frequently against him. Bakare was picked up by the State Security Services (SSS) at various times and was continually intimidated by their presence in his church auditorium. It did not deter Bakare from criticizing them. One day, Tunde Bakare gave a prophetic declaration: he said that by the close of a certain week in 1998, Sani Abacha will be dead. It happened as he said and the relatively unknown pastor was shot into national limelight. Bakare’s popularity was short lived because he soon made another prophetic declaration, in latter months, as the country drew up to its first elections after many years of military rule: Bakare said that Olusegun Obasanjo was not Nigeria’s messiah. He said Obasanjo was Agag and from the biblical account, Agag was hacked down by the prophetic sword of Samuel. Unfortunately for Bakare, Obasanjo finished his two terms as President and the Owu chief is still alive today – having celebrated his 85th birthday this past week. Bakare quickly developed a reputation for being a prophet whose prophecies were not always accurate.

I remained a follower of Tunde Bakare until 2013 when I renounced Pentecostalism as a denomination (today I am a professing reformed Baptist: a subject for another article). I did not leave Pentecostalism because of Bakare’s failed prophecies: I left because of the plethora of defects in the character of many Pentecostal leaders. I also discovered that the Word of Faith doctrines were plain heresies and that at its core is an undermining of the gospel of Christ: which is actually what a Christian must end up preaching, regardless of what we pursue in life and ministry. Along the line of renouncing Pentecostalism, I also renounced belief in prophets and apostles. I came to a realization that only biblical prophets gave accurate prophecies and that the Bible actually warns against individuals giving failed prophecies: scripture regard such individuals as false prophets. Because of my close observation of Tunde Bakare, his life, family, doctrine, etc, I will be very reluctant to call him a false prophet because of his failed prophecies. Rather, I will like to call him a presumptuous personality and the dangers with presumption is that many times it fails us.

This is why when a video emerged on the internet and Tunde Bakare was saying that he was going to succeed Muhammadu Buhari, I knew that he had again ventured on one of his presumptuous statements that are often couched under the title of prophecies. I knew that Bakare will ultimately fail in his quest to get the APC presidential ticket. I followed the primaries keenly and was quite hopeful that maybe I will be proven wrong: maybe this will be one of those one in a hundred prophecies that Pentecostal prophets make that come to pass. Alas, Bakare got no votes from the delegates at the APC presidential primaries and the rest, like they say, is history.

Bakare’s inevitable defeat could be founded on two things: first, the horrible realities of the Christian life outside the confines of a church fellowship. If the primaries were run by Christians, and based on Christian principles: where none of the delegates needed to be bribed with thousands of dollars, it is possible that Tunde Bakare would have gotten a few votes and maybe even won the contest on the mere fact of his character as a leader. The fact still remains that Tunde Bakare is an exceptionally brilliant personality who rose from abject poverty, obtained an education and founded a thriving law practice in 1984. He left law and entered into Christian ministry. He has led that church for many years, influencing many young people in life and ministry. I was personally taught self-development and entrepreneurship through the teachings of Bakare that I got at his church when I attended it briefly in 2004. While at the church in Ogba, I saw how his leadership acumen brought about such order in ministry that could easily be transformed to running an orderly government in this large and disorderly entity we call Nigeria. This is why I began this article by saying that I am convinced that Bakare was the best candidate in the APC primaries. But Bakare’s inevitable defeat lay at the fact that he was dealing with men who know nothing of a Christian worldview and were not willing to allow a level playing ground in their politicking.

The second thing that lay at the heart of Bakare’s defeat are these presumptions he calls prophecies. God did not tell Tunde Bakare that he was going to be the 16th President of Nigeria. If God did, Bakare would have won the APC primaries. Instead he got zero votes. Bakare’s defeat is a pointer to a greater malaise that lies not just in the life and ministry of Tunde Bakare, but at the heart of Christian ministry in general in Nigeria. Christians need to understand this biblical testament: the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of true prophecy. All of prophecy is founded on the pages of scripture and fulfilled in Christ and his calling to save sinners. What that means is this: Christians do not have a sure home in this world. While we may have a commitment to leave our world better than we met it and we have a commitment to social concerns and development, at the heart of the Christian message is a gospel that calls sinner to repentance and faith. Somewhere and somehow in the ministry and life of Tunde Bakare, this message has been lost and I think that God has sent this unusual rebuke to call Tunde Bakare back to true ministry.

One of the messages that Israel Badaki gave me, preached by Tunde Bakare, were sermons that he directed at Benson Idahosa. Bakare will say to Idahosa: “you have lost your vision and calling in life; by pursuing wealth and mundane things, you are no longer serving Christ but your belly”. I will be reluctant to say that Bakare has also lost his vision in ministry. I will rather say that true Christian ministry is calling sinners to repentance and faith. National development, and the redemption of Nigeria is a side calling which should not envelope our true calling. If Tunde Bakare is called to pastor people, he could focus on that calling for now. His advice for national development will always be welcome but it is obvious that he is not the one that God will use to save this country ultimately.

The title of this article is taken from the movie “The Ultimate Defeat of Mister and Pete”. A 2013 American movie that tells the story of two young boys who spent their summer holidays evading arrest from the police after their cocaine dealing mothers were arrested. Ultimately they were caught and with retrospect they realized that the police were not pursuing to arrest them just to clamp them in jail but for their ultimate good and preservation. Perhaps God has permitted this defeat in Tunde Bakare to allow for self-introspection and a whole revamping of the ministry that Jesus Christ has committed to his hands. The Bible says that all things work together for the good of God’s saints. I am positive that if Tunde Bakare is an elect of Christ, the defeat at the APC primaries will only add to him and to his ministry.

OBILIFIED IAM

SEYIKP:
I am also contemplating, soonest I may de-batify and become obidient in the coming election.

By: Deji Yesufu

The political situation in Nigeria is at the moment in the process of throwing out different candidates that will bear the flag of the various political parties in the land. While there are almost 100 registered political parties in the country, only two of them have enough reach around the country. These two are the All Progressive Congress (APC) and the People’s Democratic Party (PDP). There are a few other parties like the SDP, LP, and APGA but most of them have only regional reach. The PDP and APC have become the behemoth that they are because they have once produced people who became president of the country.

So political parties are in the middle of their various primaries. INEC, the country’s political arbiter, has a few days ago extended parties primaries by another six days to give more time for political parties to mop up everything concerning party primaries. When Nigeria came into the fourth republic in 1999, many people did not pay much attention to things like party primaries and because of this a lot of shady deals were cut and people emerged as party representatives in manners that did not conform to the law. INEC has resolved most of these issues at the courts, and with a new electoral act in place, political parties know that they must do everything by the book or risk loosing at the end.

One area that INEC has failed to fix in these electoral processes, though, is the issue of how party representatives are selected at the primaries. Today, we have the delegate system. What it means is that at various levels of selecting candidates for political offices, individuals are selected by the parties to elect people as party representatives. The people who do these election or selection, as the case may be, are called delegates. Delegates are established members of a political party. They are expected to be individuals that are well known in the party, people who are above board and who can make decisions for the party.

In fact I understand that at the national level there are 3,200 delegates who will choose for Nigerians the people who will represent the country for both the APC and the PDP. Now this is where things get interesting: because Nigerian politics have become heavily monetized and the inherent corruption factor has become part and parcel of us, these delegates no longer make choices based on mere observation alone; they elect the highest bidders to office. Ayisha Osori’s book, LOVE DOES NOT WIN ELECTIONS, brings to fore the problem that well intentioned persons undergo to overcome the larger than life presence of the delegate system. You literally have to pay your way into being chosen by your party. I am told that delegates are collecting as much as $15,000 each to elect people as party representatives for House of Representatives. This should give you an idea of how much these delegates will earn at the presidential level.

Now if what I have written above gives you a bleak picture of the state of things in our country, then I have succeeded in showing you why I am still convinced Nigeria can get better. For the rest of the essay, I want to suggest three things that will fix this country.

Nigeria’s Young People: The EndSARS protests was the best thing that happened to Nigeria in the last few years. It was spontaneous; it had a unity of purpose in it; and it was engendered by our country’s young people. The killing of those young people at the Lekki Toll Gate, which brought an abrupt end to the protests, remains a tragedy and a blight on this country’s conscience. I am confident that either in this life or in the life to come, those who killed those young people will face judgement. I digress.

EndSARS showed some of us that the number one thing that will fix Nigeria is her army of young people. Our youths may not have jobs, they may even be denied education but they have a certain drive for creativity and a commitment to forge ahead and make it like no other sets of youths in the world today. A perfect example of this is seen in what Nigerian youths are doing in the music industry. From the mad face Portable to the calm, cool and collected Kizz Daniel, Nigerian young people are producing music that the world is crazy about. And this creativity is not restricted to music alone. We see it in our sports, media and movie industry also. It is only a matter of time, these young people will rise up and replace the old order of things in this country. Nigeria will get better because her young people will only get better at what they do.

Nigeria’s Massive Human Resources: One day the story of how India moved from being a third world country to first, like that of Singapore, will be told. For now India has placed herself and her people in every sphere of world affairs. Indians are about the leading people in Information Technology and the sciences. India has become a major source for medical tourism, especially for people in Africa. Even in the relatively unknown world of Chess, Indians are becoming the leading players of the game. The penultimate world champion in Chess, Vishy Anand, is an Indian and is still very much playing the game. India is what she is today because of her massive human resource. Human resources is the greatest and the best of all the resources that God has given to the nations. That Nigeria has the highest concentration of black people in the world is an advantage that this country will someday benefit from and this is why some of us do not believe that the breaking up of this country will prove advantageous to us. The world has learnt that countries thrive better when they come together and that is why we have such unions like the European Union and others. The larger the better.

The people that usually set off society in a positive direction do not usually have to be many; we only need to have a few people in places of influence and society will have no choice but to get better. The story of my encounter with a young man leading the vehicle licensing office that operates here in Ibadan, which I published a number of months ago, is a case in point. The young man and his team have ensured that vehicular licensing, at least as far as Agodi, Ibadan, is concerned, must be done properly. If such an individual were to move up the ladder of the civil service, he will bring a similar positive change to the whole system he presides over. Imagine what will then happen if we have such persons occupying the office of President, Governors, Legislators, Judges, and so on – with time, our society will become better. The blessing of population is that society has a greater likelihood of producing such people.

Sheer Providence: For many years, Nigeria was under the iron grip of one man called Sanni Abacha. He killed whoever he wished and left alive only those he decreed so. The Nigerian people were constantly under fear. We could not speak freely; the press was gagged and it was as if this was how things will continue to be. Nigerians woke up one morning in 1998 to learn that the evil military despot, that held the whole nation by the jugular, was dead. There were widespread celebrations and in a matter of weeks, the country began to have a semblance of normalcy. Subsequently Nigerians elected their own leaders into office and since 1999, the country has continued to enjoy uninterrupted civilian rule. Those who are thoughtful understood that what happened with Abacha is what we call providence: it pleased God to take away life from the one that had constituted himself as an enemy of the nation. The God who saved us from Abacha can still save this country today.

In spite of a rising army of atheistic youths on the social media today and the despising of the idea of God saving men through prayers, the fact remains that God answers prayers and he still influences the nations through his kind providences. One other reason why we believe that Nigeria will get better is that we pray daily to God to save this country and we trust that God will, one day, raise up leaders to various spheres of our national life so as to cause for things to work properly in the country. There are rumors that one of the reasons why insurgencies still persists in Northern Nigeria is because certain individuals in the top echelon of the Nigerian army are benefitting from the continued conflict. With wars also come the need for the purchasing of arms and ammunition. The whole process shores up illegitimate gains for certain people and the crisis is made to continue to persist because a few people are making money off the blood of others that are being spilled. It is not difficult for God to change such people in a minute. The Christian church will continue to pray and plead with God to send the right people to lead this country and we know that God will answer our prayers.

Conclusion: There is actually no alternative to Nigeria getting better. Some of us have become too old to go to another country to go and begin to struggle to acquire a better life for ourselves. Even if one manages to go abroad, there is still that nagging pull that Nigeria continues to exact on its citizens all around the world. The constant thoughts of Nigerians in the diaspora is how this country can get better. Those of us who are still here have the opportunity to partake in the fixing of this country. There might be little time left for a few of us; we are not likely to enter the promised land because of age but we can bring the country to the point where we are able to actually see the promised land ahead of us. These three items I have suggested in this essay are points we cannot overlook: we can take advantage of our large population; we must invest in our youths; and we cannot cease to pray for Nigeria. And one day we will wake up to behold a New Nigerian nation.

Amen.

He is clever, brilliant, intelligent and full of wisdom. If you can't see this qualities in him then you lack any of the quality

Malachi 2:14-17
14But you say, “Why [does He reject it]?” Because the LORD has been a witness between you and the wife of your youth, against whom you have dealt treacherously. Yet she is your marriage companion and the wife of your covenant [made by your vows].
15But not one has done so who has a remnant of the Spirit. And what did that one do while seeking a godly offspring? Take heed then to your spirit, and let no one deal treacherously against the wife of your youth.
16“For I hate divorce,” says the LORD, the God of Israel, “and him who covers his garment with wrong and violence,” says the LORD of hosts. “Therefore keep watch on your spirit, so that you do not deal treacherously [with your wife].”
17You have wearied the LORD with your words. But you say, “In what way have we wearied Him?” In that you say, “Everyone who does evil is good in the sight of the LORD, and He delights in them,” or [by asking], “Where is the God of justice?”

1 Corinthians 7:15
But if the unbeliever separates himself, let him separate himself.
The brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases.
But God has called you into peace

A well objective written up piece by OP, of which I cannot really improve on and so just will only reaffirm the sentiments of the original post and stamp likes on the thread where deserving

Yes, the situation that led to Osinachi’s death is one that has many sides to it, and some of the sides to the story, I'll one by one list, as follow

1. We have a wolf in sheep clothing for a husband. An animal in human skin husband. Well now that he's gotten rid of the hen that laid the golden eggs, let him enjoy cooling himself off in the state or federal prison

2. We see what legalism gets one. The bible says wisdom is the principal thing, so you get wisdom, and in your getting get understanding.
How Osinachi didnt get the understanding that one doesnt stay in an abusive and toxic relationship, even marriage, we dont know. Self preservation, the protection of oneself from harm or death, is especially regarded as, a basic instinct in human beings and even animals.

Violence, meaning, any or all behaviours, involving physical force with intent to hurt, maim, or kill someone or something, is not the fruit of the Spirit, so how will anyone explain loving, endorsing or condoning violence?

Malach 2:16, thats been weaponised and used to unduly scare people from escaping toxic, abusive and deadly relationships

3. 1 Corinthians 7:15 is a useful and informative verse, if to list just one verse alone, as its evident that God has not called anyone into violent and toxic relationships. Morever a believer will not maltreat, abuse, assault his/her partner.

4. Osinachi was let down by the same church, now shedding crocodile tears in the aftermath of her demise. Osinachi couldn't by herself, set herself free because she felt she'll be blacklisted, ostracised and made a pariah, by a mean spirited church, who will base their arguments on their flawed excuse of her being a divorced person and so she cant be invited to their events to perform praise and worship ministrations

5. Evil prevails, when the good say or do nothing. Osinachi's twin sister, kept quiet. They sing together, she witnessed her suffering yet did nothing. Fellow gospel singer, Frank Edwards described the husband of late Osinachi, as abusive, yet he too, did nothing. If Osinachi were to be his sister, would he have loved others in the know, keep quiet too, hmm?

As for Dr Paul Enenche and all that his pulpit gra gra. Why DIDNT he get whiff of all this through the prophetic, anointing or something, hmm? Classic case, of having a form of godliness but lacking the power thereof

Sister Osinachi didnt want to lose face and ended up losing her life because of that. Ministers that invited her to come minister at their events, knew about the toxic relationship she had with her husband, but none of them, called out, until after she passed on. They started singing like canary birds after her demise, saying they knew about her abusive relationship but couldn't voice out because Osinachi asked them not to

Well, suffice to say, that, the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men/women to do nothing. All in the know, will have to carry the burden on their chest of 'wish I had called out, wish I had snitched'

What a beautiful woman and gift WASTED away just like that. All because of greed. Osinachi RIP, if not, then RIP. Sun re ooo.
- Return if possible, if not soon, then Rest in peace
