Apparently, Brother Sam is losing touch with the reality. He has unabashedly joined the league of the noisemakers who want to change perceptions because of their hatred for GSM.
Noise may confuse the moment, but it can’t reshape perception. This truth will soon dawn on him and his ilks.
Until i read this watery piece , under reference, which is actually shattered in pieces, i was having the illusion that Sam Omatseye is still in touch because i used to fawn on his piece then inside the Nation newspapers , but i can see clearly that political sentiments have distanced him from the reality like a blind man in search of a dark goat in the hursh of the night. His argument here, much unlike a man of letters i knew,is pedestrian. It’s lacking in substance.
You said a man who stands out in a party lacks creative flair. Really, GSM has become a sorest scar that shapes your writing. Much unlike other PDP govemors that switched to APC to appease the ” god of Bourdillon ” that you serve, GSM stands out as a man to warch in PDP.
Likening GSM to a serpent is a misnomer – a verbal irony. He is more of a Quiescent porcupine, which remains in his quest mode unless a careless finger crosses his way.
He doesn’t go with a flow, unlike others who have jumped the boat to APC to rob our democracy of its apparel and turn the nation into a single party state .
You may say he lacks ” creative flair ” and borrows Wike style, who has condescended so low to hold the main opposition party, the PDP for your boss . Whereas the deceitful Ostrich still claimed to be in the same party openly working for APC .
Did you notice his sitting arrangement during the media chats ? This is like majoring in minors .
He is a last man standing, whom you have to applaud for his deep seated resolve to protect our democracy but writing to appease political class without integrity has blurred your vision .
Without integrity , nothing else matters .
GSM is making history with his raw courage and the ability to speak the truth that has become a scarce commodity. You could have preferred he maintains a stoick silence so as not to rock your paymaster ‘s boat .
” To avoid criticism as Aristotle, an acient greek philosopher and polynathssays, do nothing say nothing, be nothing ”
Noise follows relevance. You called GSM an ego booster . Of course, he’s not . We actually know a paid writer whose writing is to rub his paymaster ‘s ego. GSM only explained what has been shrouded in secrecy as a quiet achiever so that the likes of Wike would know that he’s not a small fry whose fortune, unlike Wikes, is fortified with a solid business experience.
It is safer to describe GSM as having” insistent illusions because, like Nietzsche’s , summation, he falls within the category of people who prefer the harsh truth to comforting illusion.
GSM will not be destroyed by a party in flame . He’s ratger a boon to the vessel as
“Rime of the Ancient Mariner “(originally The Rime of the Ancyent Marinere), written by English poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge in 1797–98 .
On the saga of 50 billion, which you mentioned. I hild a conviction that you will swivel attention to those greedy elements that are withholding a substantial part of the fund rather than a transparent governor who has narrated how the funds were rightfully discussed by a committee headed by his deputy.
We envisage this type of mudslinging will follow the media chat recently held by GSM, who prefers to say the hurtful truth and stay inside the cold rather than tell lies and be in the comfort zone..
“Standing out may be risky, but blending in guarantees you’ll be forgotten.”
