MAKING A BAT PRESIDENT

-

By Akin Ojumu

In 1 Samuel 8:11-12, the LORD sent Samuel to warn the children of Israel of the atrocities the king they demanded would inflict on them:

“This is what the king who will reign over you will do: He will take your sons and make them serve with his chariots and horses, and they will run in front of his chariots. Some he will assign to be commanders of thousands and commanders of fifties, and others to plow his ground and reap his harvest, and still others to make weapons of war and equipment for his chariots.”

Now that Nigerians are toying with the consequential idea of making a BAT the president of their country, they need to be reminded of what that portends for their future.

BATs are sinister and spooky with beady eyes and razor-sharp fangs. They find dwelling in deep damp dark caves where the light of day doesn’t shine. When all other creatures go about their business during the daytime, BATs sleep all day long hanging upside down. It is at nighttime that you would find BATs sneaking around like a thief in the night. 

Of all the attributes of BATs, the most sinister is the fact that they harbor many of the most dangerous microorganisms that infect humans. BATs are vectors for deadly pathogens that cause pandemics and epidemics.

Here is a list of a few of the deadly viruses and microorganisms that BATs carry:

SARS-CoV
SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19)
MERS-CoV
Ebola Virus
Marburg Virus
Nipah Virus 
Hendra Virus
Rabies
Histoplasmosis
Salmonellosis
Yersiniosis

From among a teeming population of 200 million people, Nigerians have chosen a BAT to run for president and they seem to be clamoring for a carrier of deadly plagues to rule their land. If that’s not suicidal, I don’t know what is.

There’s still time to make amends and for Nigerians to take a step back from this dangerous precipice. He who has ears to hear, let him hear. But don’t say you weren’t warned.

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
