“Our wife, our wife”: come midnight and we will know whose wife she  really is.
Did you hear…”Osinbajo is very presidential, he has action” (Really)
Some people said, “He should not deviate from Buhari’s policies” (But  why should he)
Did you see Osinbajo’s wife on TV the other day she looks the part (abeg  which part)
Some sabi-sabi people even said, “he is governing from Lagos”(Anyway  that was once our capital too)
Don’t mind them, El-Rufai is in control (With all the wahala at his  backyard)
Saraki is angling to be Vice President, but Osinbajo won’t have it (Chai  this people don sell us, Saraki should finish with Code of Conduct  Bureau)
Even the North has given Osinbajo six conditions (I wonder why six and  not eight or twenty)
Actually we currently have three presidents, Buhari, Osinbajo, and  others…
If the Pastor says “you will be promoted” will Osinbajo say AMEN.
Hear some Imams are spreading the rumor that Baba was poisoned (By who)
And some group claim that they warned Baba about his kitchen arrangement
How about that gist that finally an Awolowo would be in the Presidency
Also these days, Mr. President seems to be speaking to everyone on  phone, I am particular about him telling Adesina whom he now refers to  as Femi that Nigerians are “Mischief Makers”.
Going forward have you heard that Osinbajo is responsible for the  appreciating Naira (But he was head of the Economic Team)
Oh did I forget, some said Osinbajo is the function of the President’s  magnanimity, you recall Idiagbon too, and Mr. Buhari loves to work from  behind.
Yes, I equally saw that write up on, those that have visited Osinbajo  since his boss traveled on vacation.     And sure we get to read a lot on social platforms, including the recent  exhortation to pray seriously for Osinbajo, because of because; We are  praying for Buhari too, and some are praying for you and I know.     Nigeria is one hell of a place, and it is not out of place that I suffer  monochopsis these days, meanwhile that “big word” means; the subtle but  persistent feeling of being out of place.
Really is Professor Pastor Osinbajo to the rescue, how come silly  Nigerians suddenly think he’s got some magic wand, same Nigerians who  did not believe in the APC or Change mantra, would it not be safe to say  that what is manifest if indeed any, is a function of the promises made  by the duo.
Why is it that we are so foolish, and in the words of the Apostle Paul  who has bewitched us. Why are so myopic in our hate for each other, so  much that I see how some Yorubas are rejoicing or how some Christians  are upbeat and how some Muslims are threatening thunder, fire and  electricity, should anything happen to Mr. Buhari (off course we need  the latter)
So I ask has Osinbajo made any policy and the last time I check, all  those that say this dude is Presidential never stated that he was vice  presidential. Nigerians are so…before I am accused of saying what I do  not know.
Let me end this admonition in this manner; Once upon a time there lived  a king. The king was very kind and ruled his people very well. One day  he was cutting an apple with the knife and accidentally cut his finger.  The king cried aloud and his minister who was devotee of Krishna came  running and saw that the king has cut his finger.
The minister tying a cloth to the king’s finger said, “Dear king,  don’t worry, whatever happen its is mercy of Krishna. So be happy and   thank your luck and thank Krishna”
The king got very angry and said, “What nonsense you are talking. The  blood is coming out. I am crying in pain. You say this is mercy of  Krishna. You are a big fool. I will throw you in jail”. Shouting thus,  the king got his minister thrown in jail. The minister smiled and said  aloud, “Whatever happened is mercy of Krishna! Thank you Krishna!”
But one fine morning the fat king went alone for hunting in the forest.  There were no guards and no ministers with him. He soon lost his way in  the forest and landed in an enemy’s tribal kingdom.
Suddenly the tribal king and his soldiers rounded up the king and tied  him to a tree. The tribal soldiers then drank and danced around the king  and shouted, “Let this king be sacrificed to our Kali”. Shouting  thus, they all prepared the king for the big sacrifice to Kali devi.
The king was sad, as there was no minister with him to advise how to  escape. He was weeping with tears running down his eyes.
The tribal king and the priest came to inspect the king and saw that the  king had a bandage on his finger.
The priest then said to the tribal king, “Sir, this king has already  cut his finger and the blood has already come out of him. But for our  Kali we need fresh blood and a whole body without any cuts. Therefore,  this king is unfit to be sacrificed and let him go back to his  people.” The tribal king agreed and set the king free.
The king got back to his kingdom and related the story to his minister  who was in jail. The minister then smiled and said, “See I told you  that whatever happens is mercy of Krishna and is for our own good!     On that day you cut your finger it saved your life! And when you put me  in jail it also saved my life!” The minister said smiling.
The king was surprised and asked, “How’s that!”
The minister replied, “See, wherever you go I have to be with you. But  on that day I was in jail. So I did not come with you. If I had come  with you, the tribal king would have sacrificed me because my body was  whole and no cuts on me. This way I too was saved!
You cutting your finger and me going to jail both happened to our own  good! That is what I believed. And this is the moral philosophy that  everyone should believe… “Whatever happens; happens to our own good  and it is mercy of Krishna!”
If we strongly believe in this moral philosophy we will really stop  worrying and make our lives happier and happier… forever and ever!  Putting our lives in hands of Krishna is most secure way to live our  life.
Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare/ Hare Rama, Hare  Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare.
On intent, hence the number of Krishna devotees is almost negligible I  have used them, but the lesson thereof is that, there is no Osinbajo, or  Buhari, it is about the success of this administration which in turn is  the success of Nigeria and Nigerians. The devoid created by Mr.  Buhari’s extended leave despite the handover to an acting has again  exposed all the crack that we are still a divided nation, and we still  largely do not know what we desire, and continue to be tossed,  continually running from the issues, trading and chasing shadows, and it  seems we will be on this path for a while, how much time do we have,  indeed—Only time will tell
