Sowore is a cultural goat! by wale ojo lanre

Sowore is a cultural goat!
By
wale ojo lanre
I don't blame him
I blame Nigerians
Who are easily deceived
By cheap and inconsequential acts
Nigerians who are easily carried away
Yea, easily sweep off their feet
By jejune deeds and acts
Which in other saner clime
Would have cultivated to the doer
Strict Excommunication or conferred on him
A pariah status or plaque infested soul
Who to be avoided like an escapee from the lepers' colony
Who is supposed to be ostracised
But here in Nigeria such a soul
if not venerated, idolised, will be eulogised, praised, commended
and turn him to
A daylight hero who will, in turn, see himself
As a superhero of all times
And in Nigeria, his past deeds acts, antics, the misdemeanour do not matter
Neither does it counts
Cultist. Axeman. Blackmailer.Drug addict.
Rapist. Sodomist. Homosexual. Defiant.
All these elements of So precedent behavioural identification
Do not count
And thus Nigeria Breeds its so-called leaders of tomorrow
Whose genre produces elements like Sowore
The guy who has allowed folie de grandeur
The stupidity of greatness hunted down his expected societal sense of responsibility, reasonability candour and diligence
And he like a son tamed on the free range
Sees himself as an entity of note
Just because he has through a breach of trust
Which he committed to a good samaritan
Gbenga Obasanjo
Who saved him from the shame of having to wait for a cross-border soole and offered to give him a ride to Lagos
And the son of the former President
Who naively believed he has in his car
A trustworthy young man
Who he can share his innermost mind battling issues with
Thus, revealed to him, the secret of his family
And without knowing that
He has in his car
A mischievous young man
who was desperate at having a story to stoke the popularity and acceptability of his newswire platform
And without he being informed
and without any formal permission
The desperate young man
whose precedent and acts in the University of Lagos
A reek of disgust and ignoble acts
Pumped the whole private discussion
which he was privileged to have obtained
from an unbridled talk of a loquacious son of Obasanjo
Into the WWW
And thus
The platform has assumed a potent instrument of intimidation
harassment, victimization and journalistic terrorism
And the boy has become THE Emperor. The Czar of Intimidation
Who uses the platform to command obedience to his whim and caprices
Thus making him feel above all
With Arrant Arrogance, unbridled pride and nonchalant attitude
becoming his second skin and apparel.
And these behavioural malfeasances
Have cut short the tenacity of his thinking horizon
These have commenced a fatal re-engineering of his mental faculty
Purging him off the virtue of humility
To swell up his head beyond the capacity of his skull
Making him misbehaving like a goat who suddenly found itself in
a yam stead
Or like a boy who fame smiled upon at Noon
First was his "Ekiti Marijuana "loose talk
Which I believe that it is only those who feel it know it all
For only a man who feels it will know it all
Thus, I care not about this gutter and senseless
remarks about my state
For, I believed he must have stuffed a touch light of the Ganja that day when he ran his mouth like a burst water pipe
However, his dance of shame at the Ooni Palace got me off
And going by his tweet and a post circulated by another young man who claimed to be an eyewitness,
I have no doubt
That this Omoyele Sowore
Is not only a bad influence but a cultural goat
His conducts, words and utterance both at the palace of Ooni of Ife and after, copiously showcased Sowore as a young man who lacks ordinary home training
And I don't blame him
{ Awon kenimani lo so ole re di alagbara }
Such a guy is not fit to lead.
Shame on him
