Took me 20 years to know that the real bait is:
هِيَ الدُنيا تَقولُ بِمِلءِ فيها
حَذارِ حَذارِ مِن بَطشي وَفَتكي
فَلا يَغرُركُمُ حُسنُ ابتِسامی
فَقَولي مِضحكٌ وَالفِعلُ مبكي
The problem with the local Arabic accent 😅
Ojy Okpe: Atiku said he would restore subsidy. You said you would not.
Peter Obi: Me and Atiku are saying the same thing.
Ojy Okpe: No. You're not saying the same thing as Atiku.
Peter Obi: Remember what I said. I'll deal with corruption.
Ojy Okpe: Atiku is not talking about corruption.
Let me tell you guys why I am afraid for the future of Dawah in Yoruba land, despite having heavyweight scholars among us.
The media space is heavily polluted. The everyday Muslim can no longer tell the difference between truth and falsehood. I was reading through my comments and people were seriously asking me if I know Islam better than the Mufti.
Can you imagine that? The logic for them is that if the Mufti is doing it, then it must be right. Their love for him has blinded them to the extent that he cannot do any wrong. That is not Islam.
I do not hate him either. I am a bonafide Ilorin indigene and I know how the Muftis of the past carried themselves.
The office of a Mufti is an inward position. It is meant for deep reflection and issuing rulings, not for show. His current style of attending every social gathering is a dilemma of merging his past as an outward celebrity scholar with his present reality. It makes things very difficult.
If there is anybody who should have curbed Alhaja Kaola from doing this, it should be him. But painfully, he will go there. And we all know what will happen. He will use the Quran to justify the gathering as usual. This is supposed to be the person that should be issuing ruling to the everyday Muslims.
And this is where the problem is. When solid scholars speak out and say this is wrong, the masses will attack them. They will call them extremists. They will call them Alakatakiti.
Many people cannot even differentiate between these standard scholars and the celebrity ones. They actively hate the strict scholars and blindly follow the Mufti type of Alfa because it fits their desires. Unfortunate.
During our lecture yesterday, I made sure to emphasize this to the students. People need to learn Islam by conviction. We must learn from the perfection of the Quran, not from the imperfection of the Mufti, Alhaji Wasiu, or Alhaja Kaola.
If at this point you still don't get why we should be afraid in Yoruba land, then you might be selfish or you are not just looking wide enough.
The summary of that Peter Obi interview is, “just make me president abeg, stop stressing me.”
He had no clarity on any of the issues. He went as far as saying anyone who doesn’t like him doesn’t mean well for Nigeria. That’s the sort of delusion his followers thrive on.
I met some diplomats last year. Their issue with the opposition candidates, they said, is that whenever you ask what they’ll do differently, the answer is always, “that’s not the issue. Let me get there first.”
Peter Obi exemplifies that disconnect.
To become president, you must start by being in touch with reality. He is out of touch.
And no matter how many times he calls his interviewers by name or holds their hands in that psychological plea for mercy, as long as he keeps opening his mouth, he will keep showing why no sane Nigerian will ever consider him for president.
The presidency is not an experiment. And that’s a beautiful thing, because he would have made for a disastrous one.
The Borno Ulama (scholars) have a role. The Sultan of Sokoto has a role.
The Islamic Council of Nigeria has a role. These voices need amplification and resources.
