As
events unfolds at the Rivers State House of Assembly crisis lingers on,
just as a statement made by Hon.Evans Bipi. Drew my attention, be it
that he was the attacker or the "attackee" is none of my concern as my
write up is not to point fingers.
Widely travelled was the
statement he made, saying that our amiable First Lady, Her Excellency
Dame Patience Jonathan was his JESUS ON EARTH and as a result no one got
any right or audacity to question or pose as a threat to His Jesus. The
Spirit of Peter a disciple of Jesus I see in Hon. Evans
Looking
at the comparison of Hon. Evans Bipi critically I see some senses in it,
We all got our Jesus here on earth. Jesus said to his disciples "I am
not leaving you alone, I will send a helper" Jesus can come to you in so
many ways so therefore; Her Excellency is now the Later's helper.
However, I have asked myself some salient yet rhetorical questions, like
"why would a man compare another man to his Almighty saviour" "how can a
God be compared to just a mere woman" while brain fighting on these, I
only got one answer which says. "Ye are little gods" when this result
arose I told myself, therefore; for one to be compared as JESUS, thou
shalt possess those things Jesus got.
It was at it this point I knew that just as Evans Bipi got his Jesus
here on earth I Usiaphe Kevin a.k.a Whale Mouth I do really got my own
JESUS here on earth.
Now, that I have been able to come out
publicly to proclaim a man my Jesus here on earth then, this man must
have been living a Jesus' lifestyle and here is many but a few of my
travails with the master.
Just like the Jesus Christ who is now
seated in Heaven, this man was born in unison with him, though no angel
proclaimed his birth, but brought into the world by a commoner yet he
was carrying so much to be needed by the world, there was a purpose to
his birth.
This man may not be born in a manger yet, his environment and upbringing
look like one.
Subsequently as Jesus was known for beginning his
ministry at the early age, so this man was.
JESUS Christ never at one point in time disassociated himself from the
Father, that is how my own Jesus here on earth will at every opportunity
given to him recognise and appreciate the handiwork of his father in
his life, then you keep hearing the name "ALI BABA" on his lips.
Just as the heavenly father chose JESUS CHRIST and then coming to earth
to make Peter, Matthew, James, John Andrew and others fishers of men, so
it is my own Jesus here on earth took Seyi Law, Elenu, Shakara, Emeka
Smith, Acapella, Pencil, Whale Mouth and others to the riverside casted
his net for us, gave us fishes and taught us how to fish, giving us at
intervals hooks and baits so we could fish well.
An incident
sometime ago precisely 1st October 2013, at the city of Enugu where a
room service young lad, was given a key to unlock his career of becoming
a model cum presenter which was made possible by my Jesus here on earth
who only saw what is on the inside of this young kid and gave him an
opportunity to excel in it. Something like this is seen when the name
"UNKNOWN aka ELVIS GREY" is mentioned. At that moment what came to my
mind was the story of Jesus Christ and the woman of Sameria, because for
being his room service potter only he was given an opportunity and that
also reminds me of Jesus's saying I came not only for the Israelites...
Humility
is one key symbols the Lord Jesus portrayed here on earth, and when I
try to think about one who got that to the fullest is no other than my
Jesus here on earth. No wonder he is so quick to apologise to whom ever
fill aggrieved from his tweets, utterances, jokes and statements amidst
his present status quo. This is further proven when I was seen as friend
not a servant by him just as Peter and other disciples where seen by
Jesus.
As Peter was given the platform to perform miracles, same
was I and my colleagues now enjoy pleasantries of, getting awards and
laurels, travelling all over the world for events, becoming national
figures, receiving calls from all over the world with statements like "I
saw you on Tv", "You were wonderful at the show" and so on. We are
actually walking on the sea, just as Peter did. Thanks to my Jesus on
earth. It is pertinent to note also that even when we are about to get
drawn just like Peter, he is desirous to pull us back to our feet.
He
is a teacher and a father, if I am to write out few things have learnt
from him without a direct conversation with him, I would be needing a
carton of pen ordered from BIC factory, not to mention the ones I learnt
while with him. A Chinese saying has it that "discussing with an
experience person is worth more than 10 years of education.
An innovative Jesus he is, this is seen as he goes deep in studies,
research, thoughts, and hard work to get to the world something new and
fresh. No wonder when the adulterous woman was about to be stoned the
usual way, JESUS CHRIST took his time to write on the floor did his
research and came out with new resulting different from what the scribes
and Pharisees knew. Now I realise the reasons my pings are well replied
at 2:00am, that is when my master is at work. A good reason he tells me
never to toil with my academics
Today we all enjoy directly or indirectly the good results of my Jesus
here on earth, because the skits, concerts, and event management ideas
seen everywhere today was the sleepless night of my Jesus.
When I
see those things have been opportuned to. have or be part of, I asked
myself "if not for him, how would these have been possible". When ever I
board a flight today I remember my first flight in 2010, sitting with
super stars like 2Face, Ice Prince, Wande Coal and others in a hummer
Limo, getting to hear my name on radio as one of the comedians to
participate in Africa's best comedy show. All do say is "Thank you
Jesus, for giving me Jesus"
Notwithstanding, his critics are
numerous just as his followers and you all know that, that is a quality
of Jesus. Having criticisms everywhere is not a problem, not succeeding
in midst of your critics is the huge problem because, Jesus who was
crucified rose to the utter most shock of his enemies this same story
applies to my Jesus whom whenever they think he would fail that is where
he outshine.
He was booed at the beginning of his career in a city now he gets a
triumphant entry of over 6000 capacity of Eko hotel and suites in that
same city and other cities and other countries.
Furthermore, just
one thing I pray for my Jesus here on earth that he should be better
than my JESUS in heaven, because my JESUS in heaven said to him "greater
things shall you do". This is the reason while my Jesus in heaven
marked 33 years on earth, you who is my Jesus here on earth will live to
celebrate more years.
AYO MAKUN a.k.a AY COMEDIAN, I may look
like Joseph of Arimathea who was a disciple but not known, I say to you,
you are my father, you are my Jesus here on earth. Whatever I am today
is simply because you agreed to be my father and my Jesus.
There is no way I can pay back what I have learnt and gained from you,
am left with nothing rather than to thank and pray for you.
That
as you mark another year of your many many years God will make you
bigger,
You shall live to see your children's children.
Just as Christano Ronaldo serves as escort to Messi at each year's world
best footballer awards, so will your enemies escort you to
thanksgivings.
As God have used you to put smile into the faces of young comedians like
us, and the nation entirely, the only tears permitted to be in your
eyes shall be tears of JOY.
As I write this on the day I am
awarded as the Best Comedian 2013 at the Urhobo Art and Cultural Award
Night held by UPU. I dedicate the award to you sir, it belongs to you,
and I know as you are there for me, more of it will come to me.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU SIR
MIGWO SIR
