Rejoinder: Getting Their Beering Wrong

Listen folks…. Listen very hard…. For I’ve got news for you…
I’ve got news for Pius Adesanmi and men of his ilk…. Men who
would rather choose to believe the worst about everything…. Men
who in their celebrated quest to be the mouth piece of the
oppressed…. Replace one tyranny with another more despicable
than that which they claim to uproot…. It’s called the “The
Tyranny of the Pen”……And in their kingdom, they are your
absolute Monarchs….. Dishing out untruth in robes labeled truth
to their teeming subjects too ignorant to know any better…..Even
when they are unapologetic in contravening a basic rule in
humanity’s quest for sanity…..They expect us lesser mortals to
automatically endorse it by joining
them in chanting…..Guilty until proven innocent…..
Though it is wisdom to properly educate their subjects…..They
believe that their endorsement of belief in seeming truth is
enough for the ignorant ….So they cleverly forget to mention
that even to the receiving nation, the contents of a diplomatic
cable….Especially cables that dwell on espionage…..Are not
regarded as absolute truths but must be sent to a central body
where a team of trained
experts analyze it with a view to taking the wheat away from the
chaff…. In their blind worship of everything western they are
incapable of imagining scenarios where the possibility of
western diplomats “sexing up” information is a reality…..
Though revelations are mounting by the day of how some elements
in American Intelligence circles embellished reports in the
build-up to the Iraqi invasion….. The Adesanmi’s of this world
would rather choose to align with their dreams of a Nigeria
where men MUST be guilty until proven innocent….. And because
they are lords, we have no choice butto understand themeven when
they admit to their illogic and frustrations being borne out of
the “behavior of Nigeria’s political elite in fifty years of
atrophied post colonial nationhood and statehood”….
Hmmmm…..
It is this same frustration that would lead an otherwise
civilized man to throw all decency to the wind and engage in
exhuming a lie which to all intents and purposes was long dealt
with and buried openly in the public cemetery….. King Adesamni
would have us believe that one of the symbols of his
illogical frustrations had at one time put up nude
pictures of his own daughters on Facebook but what he cleverly
fails to highlight is the fact that this issue was dealt with to
the point where the said pictures where paraded for all the
world to see and make judgments…. And there the issue died a
most natural death for want of evidence to buttress what was
evidently a campaign of calumny against Chief Femi Fani-Kayode,
a man he so callously referred to as a clown leaving us to
wonder if the King had not degenerated into the same gutter he’d
have us believe his symbols of frustration stems from….. Though
I’m a lesser being I make bold to challenge the “revered” king
Adesanmi to produce any evidence of what he attempts to exhume
but I must warn him that this penchant for believing even the
most disturbing and absurd may be our hint to understanding the
inner workings of a mind given to perversity….. Yet again, what
king Adesanmi will not tell us but hopes our ignorance will
suffice is that like every other medium, Facebook is INDEED
prone to attack and there remains EVERY POSSIBILITY that a man’s
account can be hacked into and manipulated…..
This would explain the long rested issue of the said online
altercation described by His Royal Majesty and one for which his
famed frustration and negative fixation will not just not let
him be…. A great writer is amongst other things, one who has
mastered the art of delivering lines laced with innuendos, truth
and half truths all in a bid to steer his undiscerning reader
towards that which he plans for them to see and in this we MUST
be unanimous in commending the great Professor for staying true
to his craft…. We must praise him for having the courage to
“owning” up to a deep-seethed frustration and its attendant
effects of beclouding his sense of judgment….. We must show pity
for the debilitating effects on what is without a doubt a great
mind…..
We must give ourselves to research with a view to extricating
our minds from the stranglehold of those who love to keep us in
bondage with their writing prowess… But most importantly, WE
MUST LEARN TO SEPARATE ADESANMI’S WHEAT FROM HIS CHAFF THE SAME
WAY WASHINTON TREATS ITS DIPLOMATIC CABLES…..
