Rauf Aregbesola: My Candid Advise

I have always loved this man. I tell you the honest truth, I really do and that is why I like jumping to his side anytime he is backed to the wall by all those who do not understand that it is not easy to be a Governor and also a scholar at the same time. So now the matter before the court of public opinion is that of the Hijab or no hijab wahala that has suddenly enveloped the state making people forget that the more pressing problem of non payment of salary is still there. We as a people are fond of misplacing our priorities. If some parents and children because of the non payment of salaries can no longer afford the very expensive hair attachments suddenly decide to start covering their hair in a bid to still look good while carrying rough hair why should the old men that run the Christian establishment in Osun or anywhere for that matter suddenly start tearing their cassock. On this matter I really stand with the hijab wearing crowd. Whose business is it if I decide to cover my hair which is even a major prescription of my religion, why should it bother anybody to the point where people start dressing ridiculously to school just to ferment trouble. I have seen people dressing like the Pope in Osun and really looking like the clowns that they are. Hijab wearing is very harmless and Infact I find it very attractive and a sexual turn on when a woman covers her hair. Some of the most beautiful women I have ever seen in my life wear hijab and the mystery around them really turns me on. So for that simple reason, I support Hijab wearing and the practice should be promoted nationwide even in my Akwa Ibom birth land. Lastly, in my secondary school, we sat side by side hijab wearing ladies and this did not affect my performance in WAEC, I still failed. Fatima was to be blamed for that and it was not because of her hijab, it was simply because she refused all my entreaties despite the fact that I swore to her that I would convert if she as much as smiled at me. She refused and with her very beautiful face accentuated by the silky hijab gave me my first heartbreak. So my dear Raufu, ignore we have bigger problems on our hand.

That was what I heard as I watched a video shot and thrown on social media by a middle-aged lady who claims to be a family member of the fierce and fear inducing social media crusader. She screamed into the camera as she spoke in a heavy accented Yoruba laden English, ‘ ahhh, Kemi is a evil, Kemi is a evil.’ I laughed and laughed that my stomach almost came out of my mouth. These people are so funny. I recommend that video for all to watch. If you have lost your job from a bank or telecommunications firm, if you cannot pay such fees again due to the economic hardship, cannot find dollar to buy or simply find this regime of change unbearable or have had your account frozen and under investigation, just go to YouTube and search for Kemi Olunloyo and you will surely find the video. The mama claims to be an Aboderin and set out to defend the honour of the legendary Actor Jide Kosoko who just lost his wife, the third in a series and who Kemi had accused of all sort of unprintable things. Mama really gave it to Kemi and ended it all by calling her in a mix of Yoruba/ American English a ‘biiitch’.

‘Edgar you are a evilllllllll’.

This very pretty lady was on Channels TV the other day analysing the latest CBN forex policy. It was my hard-working partner Lami who urged my attention to this pretty damsel speaking on the tube. Her clear understanding of the issues and the prescribed CBN solution plus her spontaneous and lucid delivery all combined to make that showing very arresting. This lady should be watched; she is definitely going places. I have met her before at a session held at the Cactus restaurant and in which issues of the economy were being discussed. She held her ground that night and made me reach out to her to make her my friend. I think she works for one of the exchanges in Lagos, I think they call the place FMDQ at least that is what they called it on the programe I watched last week. Her bosses had better get all they can get from her now while they can becuase something tells me this lady may be sitting very soon in the hallowed halls of the Federal Executive Council giving advice on the direction of the economy. Kudos my dear and well done for that showing.
