BIOLA WILLIAMS: I HAVE CAST THE FIRST STONE

-

Biola is a famous actress and my sister. She does not mince words and gives me as good as it gets. I woke up this morning to her voice note on a matter that has shamed the public. We all heard of the hedonistic party held by a big woman of God one week after the death of Herbert Wigwe. It has been reported that Herbert was a major supporter of the church and it is even believed that a few weeks to his passing, he had given them a soft loan of N1 billion. This being apart from other such huge interventi­ons. So, while the whole world was mourning, mummy entered in a peacock dress and pulled in Flavour who with his bare chest was shouting “agba dollar” all over the place. Of course Nigerians went mad. The insensitiv­ity was idiotic. Herbert had just died and not been buried and this huge mimicry of Christendo­m was being parlayed on his grave? I refused to talk o. Amebo people started calling me- Duke what do you have to say? Duke say something o and when the pressure was too much, I released a statement where I said, I will not talk but reminded Nigerians of the sad nature of Christiani­ty in Nigeria today where we have rockstars and film stars as pastors who now live lives that would make the most hedonistic of film stars cringe in envy. That was how my sister, the great defender of Christendo­m, dropped a voice note for me which encapsulat­es the major problem we face in this country regarding these people. Basically, she said: “Oh Edgar, you do not have moral justificat­ion to talk because you are a flawed human being. You are flawed so you cannot talk. Who should cast the first stone, it should not be you… you are a flawed human being.” Kai. So because I masturbate, I cannot see what is wrong and talk? Did I also jump on the platform of piety to say that I was called into the ministry and as such my flawed nature should debar me from saying that, you cannot disrespect this man like this? So, because I love light-skinned, buxomly women, I cannot now say ‘Oh no, you can’t do that just one week after his passing?’ So, because I love porn and watch it daily, I cannot now say ‘Oh mummy of Israel, you just embarrasse­d yourself?” My dear sister Biola, I love you like mad and as such, I will let you go free this time. I will not yab you but do not take my silence on this matter for weakness, just take it that for Herbert, I will turn the other cheek. Let’s do afang when you are less busy. Kai.
