This chap is ribbing those clerics for fun. This is concentrated piss-take. “Wa ganu si ko wa gbowo dollar,” he’s singing here and laughing as well.
Proof, if you want any, that the volleys of vitriol produced with plumes of smoke coming out the alfas’ ears are impotent. They are like the garbage that regularly comes out of the mouths of Enenche and other Pentecostal mullahs. Ndi impotent. Mock them to your heart’s content, K1. Rib them in savage fashion. A cleric is just another guy. Even if he wants us to look at him the way a first year undergrad might look at his Nobel-winning professor, we must tell him to eff off. Clerics acting like alaga iduro and ijoko at engagement ceremonies deserve vicious derision. What part of the foundational text says they should be given money for praying?
A friend, who’d read this, told me stuff about a pastor neighbour of his. The neighbour went to visit him at home and when he was about leaving, after boring the pants of his host with doctrinal bullshit, told my friend that he wanted to pray with or for him. After the praying session ended, he said: “E wole ki e lo mu ore ti o joju wa. Ki se iru ore ti madam mu wa lojo yen.”
My friend was slack-jawed at the brazen conduct. What the pastor said was that he should go into the room and bring an offering of real substance and not the type my friend’s wife gave on a previous visit. My friend, a really calm guy, apologised for the wife’s presumed indiscretion. He wasn’t sorry, though. But he went in to bring something of substance because the guy looked satisfied when leaving.
I don’t think I’d have been that calm. I take that back. I’d have gone off like an unpinned grenade. I’m very certain. Bonhomie is never part of my interaction with Pentecostal preachers I’m not familiar with. I mean if those who aren’t my friends. I’m like a hornet when I come across them because I think they go around with a big head and silly assumptions of superiority. They think being a pastor is a shorthand for “I’m a terrific guy deserving of worship”. They want you to grovel and become their suppository.
Congratulations to those willing to endure them. I am not one of them. I am also delighted to see many Muslims, including clerics, thumb down the abuse of alfa privilege and condemn aafas for drenching microphones with saliva at pressure-washer volume while cursing K1.
