“The truth worth of a man’s life is not measured by
the span of his chronological age but by the quality of his life, HOWEVER
SHORT.” - Anonymous
While this is not a political blog, it has become
imperative to write this piece, at least for the sake of posterity and most
importantly, for eternity sake. So Beyond The Matters of Eternity this week seek to offer a word of wisdom to our dear president, Mohammadu Buhari.
Firstly, the scripture says “...Supplications,
prayers, intercession and giving of thanks, be made for all men; for kings, and
for all that are in authority…” (1 Tim. 2:1-2). So it is expedient that we all
keep praying for our beloved president because in the words of Reno Omokri “When opposition becomes hatred or leads to a death wish, it stops
being Godly and starts being satanic.”
The events of the last few weeks the president has been
away should call for sober reflection by the President and his team
as it was an open secret that while some pray and wished him ‘speedy
recover’ according to one of our musicians, it is a statement of fact that
majority wished him dead and did not want him to return. Even the late former President (Musa Yar adua) did not receive this much 'death wish'. So what could be wrong?
As it is often said that the voice of the people is
the voice of God, rather than just dismissing the WAILING WAILERS, the
president and his team should do a thorough soul searching and ask themselves
why majority of his countrymen (who were then HAILING HAILERS) hailing him as
the messiah 2 years ago now wish him dead. Are people that callous and wicked
to wish their president who supposedly went on medical vacation a journey of no
return?
One must admit that while the permanent solutions
to the nation’s many challenges may not lie with him, the president needs to do
a lot more once he is declare fit enough to continue within the next one year
to satisfy his conscience and his God. It is obvious to all and sundry that the nation is in her worst economic state
ever in her 57 years history with no signs of ‘speedy recover’ (that word
again) except one refuse to judge by sight.
Get Well, PMB!

While wishing the president ‘speedy recover’ and long
life, I end this piece with another quote of admonition – “You can successfully write your
own epitaph before you die. You can write it in the hearts of men. Whatever you
write on the hearts of an individual person is what they will write about you
when you are gone. To write indelibly in the hearts of men takes sacrifice.
You’ve got a price to pay.”
A word is enough for the wise. And PMB, I want to believe is wise.
God bless PMB!
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria!
