If this assessment of Yemi Osinbajo were not from you, I would have dismissed it. Yemi has been very ineffective as a VP. The legal blunders of the executive arm of the government shows no evidence that it has a professor of law advising it. On religion, we did not hear his voice when Christians suffered catastrophes, like the non-freeing of the Chibok girls and Lear who was reputed to be the only Christian girl among the 110 students kidnapped by Boko haram from the Dapchi. All the other students, who were Muslims, were released. Lear, the only Christian among them was not because she was said to have refused to renounce her Christianity. From what I observe, Osinbajo has confined himself to making sterile academic speeches of little significance. He has had no moderating effect whatsoever on Buhari and has in fact been sidelined. In most crises of the government, hardly anyone remembers the country has a “Vice President.”<br />Moreover, he is reputed to have been an acolyte of Bola Tinubu, a Muslim and was a Commissioner in his government and who is said to be responsible for his being the VP. Many believe he used his legal skills to help Tinubu in all his business transactions, both legitimate and questionable. The fiery religious activist in this article does not match this character.Shima K Gyohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03652315392569269236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2625710219374323467.post-67708434312042585332022-03-22T01:59:38.727-04:002022-03-22T01:59:38.727-04:00Prof, your readers have suggested that you should ...Prof, your readers have suggested that you should consider endorsing a candidate instead of being critical of some candidates. Although I don't believe that all of these readers have the best of intentions (some of them may just want to put you in a box to make it easier to fight your opinions) I think that you should take the plunge. Please take a serious look at Prof Kingsley Moghalu who I think was the best candidate on offer in 2019 and will be the best on the ballot next year. He is well informed, experienced and free of bigotry. Nigeria will keep losing for ignoring this man.Mohammed Bellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05039491231210848459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2625710219374323467.post-47200596266036790162022-03-21T16:46:10.487-04:002022-03-21T16:46:10.487-04:00Just like the Islamization, there's no such th...Just like the Islamization, there's no such thing as the Christianization of Nigeria. Realistically it wouldn't even make the light of day in present day Nigerian politics, not even in Ogun State, mainly because of the political elite's greed and dispatch from religiosity. <br />Prof or pastor Osibanjo and his church doesn't have the political following to fly any such agenda nationally. <br />I might be wrong but, I believe the VP is being 'used' a second time for the over ambitious political egos of the same people that 'used ' the Buhari agenda to get 'power'. Firstly, the vice president I believe, is simply put forward to scuttle any perceived 'gentleman agreements his former principal would have had with the APC regarding his 'lifelong ambition' just because there're political hawks that know, coming back to religious-political sentiments, a 'Muslim/Muslim' ticket might not be feasible.<br />Again, I might be wrong again, Prof VP Unlike the over ambitious political hawks(that often play god with their scheming) should be wise enough to know and respect the rule of Loyalty in the scheme of things with political power(Neo Machiavellianism )and is fighting really hard not to bite the fingers that once fed his political craving, unlike the hawks and vultures that have become his convenient bed fellow's, who thrive on emotional blackmail, manipulative essential, callousness and indifference to morality. <br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09620219821168642819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2625710219374323467.post-11499830761706199102022-03-21T16:44:01.378-04:002022-03-21T16:44:01.378-04:00You have presented your facts and findings.

Sad to say, If a group of Christians gathered to pray for the demise of Buhari, the event shows their shallowness in Christian Kingdom principles, they mingle African traditional beliefs with Christianity.(In Afircan traditional world view, the "enemy" or "offender" perceived or real, must be killed by the gods or must suffer(syncretism). But Jesus prayed for His enemies "Father forgive them for they know not what they do". Having made that clear, Prof your painting of Osinbajo as a religious bigot is overwhelmingly sweeping, without reservation,no benefit of the doubt. Therefore, you cannot be completely true and may be even politically motivated.Prof Kperogi did not balance his presentation by also mentioning the ordeal Osinbajo was put thru in seven years, how he was sidelined and kept under siege in the Villa by the kitchen cabinet in circumstances beyond the President.<br />Williehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09784421563466862542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2625710219374323467.post-36362933274570700782022-03-21T04:23:33.936-04:002022-03-21T04:23:33.936-04:00You are merely expressing your personal prejudice ...You are merely expressing your personal prejudice and your ignominious hatred for anything Penticostal.
