It is very easy for everyone to complain when the cookie crumbles. However, the question no one cares to answer is, “who built/made the crumbling cookie?” I am sure those who purchased the flour might just be blaming those who made the dough. Just like those who arranged the cookie on a faulty foundation might just be blaming those who baked the cookie. Until we all see our collective role in the making of the cookie, we might as well continue to argue “why, what and who crumbled the cookie”.
Even some Catholic Priests whose alters have become places of aberration (not adoration), where piety is substituted for politics, are crying foul and asking “how did we get here?” It is very clear na “uke meere”, may be in Uke or somewhere else, but wherever it happened is really nothing to be proud of. Uke is simply a name for an unpleasant, yet very unfortunate situation. This is not same as Uke the name of a great town here in Anambra State.
What is unfortunate the most is how we are more bothered as a people about trading blames than working to get the big elephant in the room away. In a sane and true Catholic society, a priest in the mold of the “uke” aberration Entrepreneur should be sent to the monastry for total reparation. This would not happen in Anambra where we have the best and worst of the Igbo race.
The multitude of impressionable miracle seekers who throng this aberration grounds are still people who are brothers, sisters, wives, relatives and friends of the criminals killing and kidnapping Priests and Ndi Anambra. Rather than deploy the alter to cleanse their minds using the light of the gospel, the mercantile Priest is more interested in sustaining his business and political interests, knowing that the light of the true gospel if preached to his ignorant multitude would liberate their minds and make him lose his followership by, at least, 75%.
No! He will not do this. Your pocket is far more valuable to him than your soul. Those who sit at home on Mondays, enabling criminals under the guise of freedom fighting attend aberrations in “uke”. Fr. Emmanuel Obimma would not tell them to end the infamous Monday sit at home, that is not his business. He has to keep their minds chained to the illusion that he shares in their collective idiocy. He thinks being a Priest immunes one from the hurt of a self-enabled criminality. The type he enables from the uke infested alter of his aberration group of companies. While he will continue his signature diatribe against the government of the day that he neither endorsed nor supported, he must be reminded that the current administration is too rational, prudent and spiritually enlightened to cower to his heretic and uncatholic manipulations.
Like Baal, the God of Elijah will confound him soon. His politics of money and Ahitophelic counsel will soon come to naught, as nothing prevents the blistering shine of the moon.
Ụdo ga achi na Anambra!
