THE WRECKAGE OF TRUMP’S PRESIDENCY

-

By Akin Ojumu

On the day Donald Trump took office, America was a place where peace reigned, and it was a land flowing with milk and honey. The land flourished, prosperity flowed, health and wealth abound, and there was contentment of life. Our democracy was virile, and in our courts was justice.

In 4 years, Donald Trump threw a wrecking ball to everything we hold dear. On his way out of the door, every single institution of our nation is left gasping for breath trying to live, having been poisoned by the toxic fumes of destruction that emanate from the deadly gas chamber of Donald Trump’s soul.

Our democracy is now in tatters, our economy is left shattered, the schools are shuttered, and the Church is in spiritual gutter worshiping an idol. The much-vaunted American exceptionalism, Donald Trump has dragged into the mud, and drowned it in the murk. America, the shining city on a hill, is fallen and has now become a laughingstock of the world. 

Those who hate us mock us, those who love us are in a state of shock at what has become of this once great people. Our enemies, intoxicated with schadenfreude, dance on our open grave, while our friends, covered with sackcloth, mourn the catastrophe that has befallen the land of the free and home of the brave.

On Trump’s watch, deadly pestilences overtook the land. A pestilence of lies and conspiracy theories infect many souls, a viral pestilence of unimaginable deadliness kills as many as 3,000 lives every single day, a racial pestilence boils to the surface consuming us in its hot and hateful lava, and our way of life has been completely upended. A giant image of idol of trumpism and paganism has been erected in the House of God, and the people of God bow down to worship and offer sacrifice to the giant image of abomination.

Donald Trump, the man crowned pro-life, pro-God, king Cyrus by white evangelical Christians, is leaving America in a vortex of violence, sickness, and death. Donald Trump has bankrupted our collective soul leaving a massive hole at the core of our being. This godless, soulless, immoral narcissist is leaving behind a great American carnage. A man that came with a promise to make America great again, will leave America groaning with a most excruciating pain.

With about a week left before we are finally rid of this unimaginable evil and his indescribable terror, America is barely holding on, with bated breath, until the day when we can start to dig ourselves out of the mountainous wreckage Donald Trump leaves behind.

Can America recover from this heavy blow to our soul? Will we ever survive this dagger plunged deep into our heart? Are we not all going to be consumed by the wildfire raging through the land, lit by Donald Trump? Can America rise, like a phoenix, from the ashes of Trump’s devastation? Is it possible for America to retrace its steps from the depth of the death spiral into which Donald Trump has plunged the nation? 

We shall see. Time will tell.

FACT CHECK: DID BOLA TINUBU CALL FOR REDUCTION OF NIGERIANS’ PURCHASING POWER?

By Akin Ojumu  With respect to Bola Tinubu’s presidential aspiration, my position is pretty clear. Those who’ve been following my various commentaries on this issue know very well that I’m not a fan of Bola Tinubu and his unscrupulous campaign to become the next president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.  My opposition to Bola Tinubu’s candidacy is visceral and intense. The man is a clear and present danger to the well-being of Nigeria, if he ever becomes president. BAT is an advanced metastatic cancer rapidly growing and spreading in the Nigeria polity. If the country must survive, this deadly cancer must be treated as all advanced cancers are treated; radical excision combined with several courses of radiotherapy and multiple cycles of chemotherapy cocktail in addition to the clearing of all associated lymph nodes. Now, there’s one thing I detest as much as Bola Tinubu’s presidential run, and that’s fake news. I cherish the truth, it’s the compass that guides us to safe shores. Wi

BECAUSE JOB DIDN’T TITHE, HIS LIFE BECAME TIGHT

By Akin Ojumu Being the trust-but-verify guy that I am, while fact-checking a social media post by one of my High School friends, in which Bishop David Oyedepo was quoted to have linked the adversity of Job to his tithing habit, I was shocked, but not at all surprised, to find a 2019 video that did indeed confirm what my good friend shared.  In Bishop Oyedepo's telling, the real cause of Job's afflictions was his failure to pay tithes. According to him, God removed Job's divine security and allowed Satan to buffet him with calamity because the man was a habitual tithe defaulter. Because Job didn't tithe, his life became really tight. Here is the Bishop in his own words: “You can't see anywhere where Job tithed. So, his blessing was not secured. You can't find anywhere where Job tithed. No! He was overly committed to giving liberally to the poor and God was committed to bless him. But there was no security.” Just so it's absolutely clear. Bishop Oyedepo's

YOU CAN’T LOVE NIGERIA & WANT BOLA TINUBU AS ITS PRESIDENT

By Akin Ojumu Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is not a stranger to Nigerians. The man with the Graves Disease eyes has been around a long time. BAT is a vector of deadly viral disease of pandemic proportions. He is a parasite that takes over everything his hand touches.  The following is just a sample of what Bola Tinubu, allegedly, did to Lagos State: Number 4, Oyinkan Abayomi (Formerly Queens) Drive, Ikoyi – Valued at N450 Million A 5-bedroom detached house on one acre of land was Lagos State Governor’s guest house since 1979 Certificate of occupancy was signed and released to Tinubu by Fashola in 2007 26 Bourdillon Road, Ikoyi – Valued at N600 Million Originally claimed to be by Oando Plc Guest House, it was later acquired by Tinubu from Oando Lagos State Government paid to rebuild and renovate, it then purchased it from Tinubu for an undisclosed sum. Subsequently, the State handed the property back to Tinubu under the Pension Bill he signed into law shortly before Tinubu left office in 2
