GANI'S LAST WORDS


A world renowned preacher and firebrand evangelist was about to die,his doctor asked what he wanted to do with his last moments.He replied with childlike glee “another opportunity to win souls for Christ!”.I wasn’t with sage Gani(I believe he deserves this title) at his last moments so I really have no idea what his last words were. Probably he was professing his love for his wife(we need to appreciate this resourceful woman too.You have no idea what it is to give your husband to Nigeria) but this one thing I know,Gani looking down at Nigeria(I believe he is in heaven)would be startled by the flood of condolences and comments and current of “grief” sweeping across the nation at his death.Forget whatever is portrayed by the media of Gani being strong in death.His death was agonizing!Infact he wept on national TV when he first returned from London after he was diagnosed with cancer.His death was avertable.If only the Nigerian medical system was sound!That was his bane.His pain.
It was in prophylactic of these dastard waste of Nigerian lives,potentials and resources that Gani founded a party-National Conscience Party(NCP) and contested for president in the last presidential elections.Did you vote for him?Who did you vote for?Did,did you even vote at all?Most ran to the polling booth the moment they heard someone was sharing #500.Na wa o.These I believe are exactly Gani’s thoughts. “Where did all these verbose condolences come from?Who are all these strangers?Why are they all pretending to be missing me?When I needed them most they weren’t there for me.When you could have changed a whole lot by voting for me,voting rightly,you did nothing!” I doubt if he had 10000 votes from a nation of 150million.Nigerians we talk too much.Too much and do nothing!All talk no action!As I type this piece I provoke with eruptive anger with every successive word.Also lets stop accusing and blaming “our leaders”(I wonder who coined this phrase).Lets resolve in our heart to do the right thing.No more corruption in any form.Expo.Bribery.Breaking traffic rules et al.Paramount is a national renaissance in our nation and government.The men follow football intensely(even dieing at times) and beer.The women,aristocrazy,fashion,their bodies,fashion(o I already said that) et al and we leave the fate of our country in the hands of greedy tyrannous vampires who have been Nebuchadnezzar for too long!All that is left for evil to thrive is for good men to do nothing.I doubt if any primary school student can recite the national anthem correctly!We are all just going about our lives selfishly and giving no impacting concern to Nigeria.Think not what your country would do for you but what you would your country. Thank Allah,Gani didn’t die for Nigerians(His whole labour would have been wasted).He died for the truth!
No man can live forever.A man’s life lies not on how long but how well.Spartans knew this simple truth.They never sort long life per se but glory and till today we talk about them.Today we are talking about Gani.Thank God churches are now teaching their members to be patriotic and so many individuals are fanning the flame of Nigerian consciousness.The future of Nigeria can be decided by this generation.So what is it going to be?

-I'm liking this new rejuvenated interest in the motherland. Funny enough, I have never heard of Gani-He sounds plausible though.
-And excuse you with the calling out fashion twice. People have the right to look good(LOL).
-I am generally an optimist but when it comes to "democracy" and voting in Nigeria i am such a agnostic pessimist(whatever that means).

For the love of me said...

Loads of us loved and respected Gani, it didnt neccessarily mean we wanted him to be president. Personally, I preferred him as the voice of conscience. He was a great man, that one and it is indeed a pity that our medical system so sucks.

Hi thanks for coming by mine. Voting or no voting isnt really the thing in Naija cuz elections and its winners is decided by people in power. Gani was a man of intengrity who stood for the truth,the cowards we have in power couldnt admit it when he was alive but now that he is dead,no one has anything to lose by saying he was a good man. May he rest in peace

@HYWA Y DO WE KEEP SAYING OUR ELECTIONS IS DECIDED BY THOSE IN POWER???? HJAVE YOU EVER WONDERED IF TRULY IT IS ALREADY DECIDED THEN THEY WOULDNT B WASTING MONEY(BILLIONS OF NAIRA)BUYING OUR VOTE!THEY WOULDNT B STEALING BALLOT BOXES! THE ELECTIONS ARE NOT DECIDED! the only thing left for evil to thrive is for good men to do nothing!!! dang!!!

Chiamaka said...

I still think the elections are decided... evil still strives when good men who come out to vote are shot down by thugs. they waste all their stolen money so that people would think the elections are not decided.
