Good morning people. Barka da Sallah to my Muslim friends and happy holidays to everyone else, including those that have to work today
I'm trying very hard not to discuss political matters but I just have to say this one. Someone put up a post about how 'they' voted for change (I would have voted for Transformation if Prof. Jega allowed me) and how it was wrong to stone Dr. Saraki, particularly on a religious holiday and she ended with #saynotoviolence. Though I'm not an APC supporter, I endorse THAT post.
The comments on the post, though, are just shameful. If you're going upandan fighting against domestic violence but you endorse violence and oppression in other areas of our national life, it's time for a #HeartCheck. Here's the comment that made me run away from the post before I write #Nonsense there.
"On Bukola Saraki: Be Careful Where Your Sympathy Lies.
Bukola Saraki may have started facing Karma. In July 2009, Saraki & his co-conspirators including the CBN Governor Sanusi Lamido hatched a plot to bring down Intercontinental Bank. Saraki was owing the bank heavily & Erastus Akingbola was bent on selling his assets pledged as collateral. Many of those assets were listed in the CCT document. The only way out for Saraki to save his assets was to plot the removal of Erastus as CEO of the bank, bring down the bank & Saraki's debt sin will be washed away. Sanusi had a different grudge against Erastus & found a worthy ally in Saraki. Saraki used the press to publish a list of assets of Akingbola & Cecilia Ibru both real & imaginary. Expectedly, it generated & resulted in public hatred for both. Some of the assets were published at current value when they have been acquired at far lower values. The press was manipulated against Erastus by Saraki to give a dog a bad name. Saraki played god. He terminated the careers of thousands of people just to save his assets from being sold by a bank. He caused CBN under Lamido not to accept recapitalisation proposals of the banks. He influenced CBN to make his boy Lai Alabi CEO of Intercontinental. Eventually Saraki's loans were written off. He got his assets back but many families have suffered. Saraki is evil. He is selfish. He will set a whole village on fire just to kill a rat. This is more obvious the way he has gone about his ambitions. Saraki cannot be trusted. He is a great manipulator. Saraki is now confronted with a similar medicine he has applied on people to get to where he is. When this case starts Saraki will be confronted with facts that will shock him. If this is followed to logical conclusion he may lose his assets & even go to jail which is where he rightly belongs. Think twice before you show any sympathy for Saraki, an evil of a man. If he escapes the judgment of man he cannot escape that of God"
ASSUMING that was true, does that justify violence? If your answer is yes, I hope I won't hear a different song from you tomorrow about how violence is never justified ooo.
In other news, I left an awesome group today because the privacy settings were changed from "Closed" to "Secret". I belong to only 2 secret groups and there are business reasons for that. One of my issues with Group 3 was the fact that it was a secret group. Every time I see the "Secret Group", I just keep seeing "Secret Cult". I'm not judging, I'm only explaining...
Have a blessed and productive day.
