IBORI: Return of the Golden Calf

-

by Kenneth Tadaferua

And they built the golden calf, and the multitudes of the people bowed, and they worshipped, and they adored, and they rejoiced before it.

They cared not about Mount Sinai. Nor about the ordinances and commandments of the Most High God, nor did they remember Moses. They ignored the bright burning Light on Mount Sinai.

If you know not the light and the salt of the earth, how can you be the light and the salt that lightens and sweetens the earth. In their poverty, sicknesses, terrors and hopelessness, they turn not to Light but to the golden calf.

Then they go home and in the emptiness of their hearts they ask, why am I so wretched, why is there recession, why can't I feed my family, why are there no jobs, no money, no electricity, no contracts, no trust, no good schools, no hospitals, why are our daughters turning to prostitutes and our sons, yahoo-yahoo experts, thieves, and criminals, why are they joining cults to adore the devil in other to get fraudulent jobs and deals?

The answer lies in the private foreign bank accounts and foreign real estates and other foreign assets into which their golden calfs stash their patrimony. Ignorance is a disease but it does not stop its dire consequences from maiming your body, your heart, your spirit and your soul.

Continue. Rejoice, adore, worship and bow before the golden calf in great multitudes, with music from drums, pipes, cymbals, guitars, gongs, flutes and pianos. If you wish, say the prayers of the hypocrites and call the name of the Holy One, God, the Father Almighty, Eternal Majesty and attempt to mock His Light before His Holy Alter with church services.

But He would not be mocked. Go ahead and worship the golden calf. But turn not tomorrow to your neighbour to ask: Why is life in this country so hard and why are we so cursed? For you are neither light nor salt.

So Continue.

There is no iota of doubt, irrespective of political differences, that Governor Godwin Obaseki has significantly improved State Competence, relative to his predecessors and across the States in the Country.  To achieve this, he had to rescue the State from private capture by ruthless non-State actors; this freed up public resources for public purposes.  He has held himself to a very high ethical and work-ethics standards, scrupulously focusing on the interests of the real people whilst staying on the Constitutional tracks in line with his oath of office. As a result, it was difficult to derail or defeat him despite uncountable battles in the judiciary and in other political machinations, orchestrated from high quarters.  Edo State is not yet on the mountain top, it still needs concerted push to avoid a free relapse or rollback.  The quality, intensity, ruggedness, doggedness and character of the next Governor is therefore so crucial that those lining up for the job should critically as
