3 Kinds Of People And The Awkward News They Make

Below are 3 kinds of people and the awkward news they make.


1. Pastors

Instead of us hearing news of the sick and diseased people these men of God have healed, all we hear are news of the latest private jets they acquired. These pastors now feature in Forbes magazine for their richies but are never seen in Time magazine for their humanitarian efforts. Our men of God now crave for the kind of attention the entertainment industry gets, that's why they invite worldly musicians to come grace their church auditorium with worldly tunes. They make it look like God is desperate for music that's why the now borrows from the dark kingdom. Christ and his disciples made fame by healing and feeding the sheep without any media propaganda. The disciples of today fleece the sheep and use the money to buy TV appearances where they preach seed sowing, tithes and also show their staged-managed miracles where a man born blind gets to know the colour of his healer's shirt on the night of his deliverance. These men need to retrace their steps if truly they were called by Yahweh.

2. Politicians

Are you among the Nigerians that miss the days of Fashola and Akpabio as governors? In their days, we were frequenlty barraged with news of them commissioning projects after projects. These days, we see more of a governor's social life than his administrative job(as if that's why we elected them). From buying soup ingredients at the market to riding okada and eating at local canteens. These politicians have taken attention-seeking to a whole new level to the amazement of celebrities. Some of them are human right activists on social media who fight for the poor, but in reality they amass our commonwealth to themselves and still flaunt it in our face via twitter. This same twitter provides them an opportunity to show the infrastructural development they've brought to their constituency and the nation. Instead, they use it to show their social life. Maybe it's all because they have no development to show. Perhaps, that's why all we hear from the National Assembly is recess upon recess, huge bonuses, wardrobe allowances without a single law that affects the poor positively. It's so awful to see states still owing their workers several month's salary even with the bail out fund they got from the federal government. Instead of settling their angry workers, they rent crowd to welcome them and sing their praises at gatherings. Their aim is to make it look like all is well in the state as their social media team take pictures and upload for bloggers to feast on with headlines like "See How Governor Lagbaja Was Welcomed In His State". Why not news like "See The 8-lane Road Governor Tamedu Commissioned"?



3. Herdsmen


Right about now, people are praying for the good old days to return, the days herdsmen didn't make news. If we were told that these men would make the news on a regular, one would think it would be all about them battling a disease affecting the sokoto gudali breed of cattle, poor milk production, high quality leather or how their cattle population has increased to the extent of them willing to reduce price of beef. It's so sad that their stardom is so enmeshed with bad news. They lead their flock to feast on people's farm and also steal produce from the farm. They have stepped their game up by raping women and kidnapping dignitaries. They no longer find interest in slaughtering cows cos they now taste for human blood. News of their acts now grace the print and electronic media with captions like "Fulani Herdsmen Kill 8 In Ibadan" and "Murderous Fulani Herdsmen Kill And Rape Female Farmers In Ebonyi".
