This blog post is with reference to the essay written by Chief Femi
Fani-Kayode, two time minister under President Obasanjo, titled “WITH
ANTI-CHRIST TENDENCIES, CAN OBAMA BE TRUSTED?”
The act of being a good Christian does not stem from stoning
sinners from pulpits occupied by hypocritical righteous fellows, neither does dinning
with sinners stand as a criterion to label one as anti-Christ otherwise Christ
himself would have become the chief anti-Christ.
The glaring hypocritical makeup of Chief Femi Fani-Kayode
demands that I ask if there are no traditional fetish practices involved with
making an individual a Chief of a community like the one he hails from or did
he become a chief with recourse to such practice?
Is our dear essay writer not a two time divorcee, married
to a third wife? While I am not against his marriage status, I would like to
know which part of the Bible allows for our dear Chief to elevate himself on
some dented moral ground to question Obama’s decisions about homosexuals when
he is busy rewriting the New Testament’s doctrine on marriage?
Let this be categorically made clear, because I abhor the
practice of homosexuals does not make me a better Christian than any other
kind of christian.
On the issue of Obama’s “relationship with the elemental forces,” “God or some lesser
deity,” our dear Chief, essay writer and of course, a student of Theology,should
know better than use knowledge in a ridiculous manner. The worst storm to have hit the US was as far
back as 1900, the year before Theodore Roosevelt was made President. Officially,
that storm killed 8,000 while unofficially it was said to be over 10,000. No one in the past or the future has named
President Roosevelt an anti-Christ for that.
The American Atlantic
coast has been subjected to over 200 devastating storms of which, by the
understanding of our dear essay writer, Obama seemed to have conjured two of the
storms with his oratory ability.
Storms rage because it
is their season and it will continue to coincide with US elections until probably the presidential elections are fixed for the early part of the year. And let it not surprise anyone to know that
the US has had an early storm in the past as early as in June. And believe me, Obama did not orchestrate it.
Also, it is ridiculous
to compare Obama’s oratory to Hitler's who intimidated his opponents with his
dreaded secret service and preached death to the races he despised. It’s funny that Hitler was not even considered for
the title of anti-Christ in his assessment.
Obama is as human as any
other human can be considering that he would make a good two time president of
the US when compared to a two time minister who left the ministries in no better state than
he met them.
For someone who got off
the charges of misappropriating fund for lack of evidence, as was the case with
former Delta State governor who benefited from such language until nemesis came in the
form of the British Judicial system, I mock his moral ground for subjecting
someone like Obama under his scrutiny.
Do let me ask, how does
one literally bow to the point of having his head almost touch one’s toe? And if Obama bears the tendencies of the
anti-Christ, should it not be the King of Saudi Arabia bowing to Obama until
his head touches his toe?
Again I declare that our essay writer is a hypocrite when
he wrote about Obama’s decision not to show to the world the video of how Osama
the terrorist was killed in his essay “OSAMA, OBAMA AND THE SMELL OF A RAT.”
As much as our dear essay writer may want to defend Osama’s
right to fair hearing, how much objection did he make when President Obasanjo ordered
a military bombardment on Odi community as reprisal for the killing of
policemen by miscreants from that community?
Did he write an essay to demand justice for that community?
Chief Femi Fani-Kayode’s
essay has been weighed, measured and found wanting. As part of his continuous assessment, he
should state in plain terms, without the use of "spiritual concoctions," why he
does not like Obama. I’m hoping he can,
so that he can further prove how “doublespeak” he is noting how it is that he
stated his admiration for Obama in his essay: OSAMA, OBAMA AND THE SMELL OF A
RAT.
Until he is able to adequately prove his case, I state, as a reponse to his essay's question: YES, OBAMA CAN BE TRUSTED!
