THISDAY

Reverend Mbaka as Merchant of Venice

- AISHA BUHARI FOR PRESIDENT

For those of you who did not read literature, the Merchant of Venice was a powerful story written by Chinua Achebe or was it Dele Momodu? Mbok leave me, we are still looking for my WAEC certificat­e so you will pardon me if I am a little bit confused as to who wrote the book. That is not the issue here abeg. The point is that this priest or whatever he is looking like is commercial­izing his prophesy o. So from the videos and reports in the national dailies we are seeing, as long as you keep the donations coming, you will surely win elections o. Me, I do not know why our leaders do not learn from history. This was the same circle with Jonathan who was accused of coming to collect prophesy on credit and when he could not meet his obligation­s the ‘grace’ left him o not even the struggle of Madam Peace brought back the “grace” to him and he lost. Now our present oga is making the same kind of mistake. I have seen the video where he is being accused of treating the man of God with levity and if not for his pretty wife who has been sending some kind of support, he would have been impeached by now. In fact, it is because of his refusal to recognize that power is flowing from the long catholic robes that he is having this problem of being cloned or not. Why can’t this man just cover his head with his frock and just sizzle somewhere and quietly tend to his flock? Is the Catholic Church so weak that it cannot do anything about this ‘person’? These are the reasons why some of us have stopped attending their church o. It was a Reverend Sister like this who saw vision for my sweet girl ‘Anne’ and asked her to leave me o. Mbok, it was traumatic for me that period o. She will be going for confession and me I will be following her not knowing that they were entering her brain and turning it against me till the woman left and turned me into a sad Duke of Shomolu. If I had known shey, I would have been sending donations and support and I am sure the prophesy going by what we are seeing would have been different.

Me I will not hide my mouth and I am not afraid of any prophesy, nobody can dethrone me as The Duke of Shomolu so I will say the truth. This Rev Mbaka is a serious problem not only to the Catholic Church but to Nigeria and I really do not blame him or his ilk, I blame leaders who in their fear driven by inept leadership, rely on these kinds of people to deliver the votes for them. This is Nigeria. Mbok, Buhari and Atiku focus and leave all these kind people alone. They have nothing to offer. with glee and in my reply I told them I met a great man and would take this punishment with a great equanimity knowing well that as a patriot I would be taking the punishment for Nigeria. I left you that day with a renewed respect for your passion, intellectu­al depth and full understand­ing of the issues. As you go to your maker, be rest assured that we will complete the work holistical­ly and make Nigeria great. I will be at your burial and I will give a silent eulogy my lord. Rest in peace sir.

This is the solution to all these cloning and US fugitive wahala we are facing in this country. This mummy is the best middle ground we can get. Her forthright­ness, boldness and courage under fire remain to be seen especially for a lady brought up under ultra-conservati­ve traditions. As I was penning this column, a news report just hit me. She was quoted by a national daily to have said that TWO NIGERIANS ARE SERVING AS A CLOG in the wheel of her husband’s government. Mbok, if this is not Mary Magdalene come back to us, I don’t know what to say o. Can you imagine, she even went further according to the report to say that she knows that her hubby’s aides seated would not want her to say this but she went ahead and you see why I have to marry one of her daughters or nieces as reward for this forthright­ness. She really deserves to be The Duke of Shomolu’s mother-in-law. Kai, the only thing remaining is for her to give us these two names. Mummy the power that has given you this courage would give you the courage to give us these names. We need to know so that we can drag them out of Aso Rock and secure this second term. Mummy, if you give us these names, I, will give you two VIP tickets to my new play, Oba Esugbayi, coming up this December at the Muson. But you have to make sure you come with an original certificat­e, certifying that you will be coming with the original Buhari o otherwise no entry. I will also give you the highest honour that can be conferred on anybody
