     But I would not know why some Nigerian women I held in high-esteem are disappointing me in recent times, even though they were not in the know that I was in love with them due to their good conducts when they started in the service of humanity. Such women is Iyabo Obasanjo, who unleashed unprintable insults on me through her indulgence in the many allayed financial blunders in her exalted seat, as a senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. When this happened, I cried fowl and blue murder trying to defend myself from my many friends who began to criticize me on hearing that my Iyabo was into the mess of financial misappropriation knowing fully well that I loved Iyabo so much and talked of her before them. I wrote an article, published in our many newspapers about this titled, “Iyabo’s Love For Shame.” My grievances to publish that article was not that Iyabo was caught in the web of the allegedly financial sham after all she’s a human being, but that she began a peek-a-boo, running helter-skelter in avoidance of the call by her father’s only security institution called the EFCC. Iyabo waved shame aside, threw caution to the wind, and placed herself in a ‘self-exile’ from the Senate for a good number of weeks. During that period of financial saga, I could not defend my only Iyabo from my numerous jealous friends. All the words in my banks of words could not yield any profit as possible as I tried to sign my withdrawal note and cash them. Therefore, I buried my face in shame, until Iyabo came out from her inflicted gulag, wherever she was hiding, to answer the call by the EFCC. But I was smelted or melted like an iron-ore that was placed on a hearth when the fugitive came out. I watched my Iyabo weeping like a baby caught by her mistress on trying to deep hand into the soup-pot, wearing obsolete kind of wrapper, perhaps to create an image in the many onlookers that she was humble. Which she was not! If ever Iyabo was humble, that could be when she was in the tutelage of her mother and before she attained the doctorate degree. And how confused she was, she is today plying every nook to re-build her-self quashed image and reputation before the many Nigerians who had “interest” in her, like me. While against that agitation, prior advice by many opinion writers was thrown into the abyss by the only daughter of the Owu-generalissimo. Well, perhaps she was acting on the premise that “what a man can do a woman can as well do.” And we have seen how much insults these defiants in the women-folk have caused the image of womanhood. Please extend my regards to professor Adenike Grange. I flummoxes whenever some women exhibit pretentious habit as the most shameful people in our world, which they are far from being. Many of them are shameless, even with their education and pile of degrees. They are hypocrites and vamps. They are traducers and terrorize the men’s world with the exposition of their ‘secret’ places. Do we not know that a woman who exposes her body before the men is a terrorist? And my beloved Eucharia Anunobi share in that fate, as one of the women terrorists, who terrorize men with the exposition of their secret places of their bodies. And my fear with all the rofo-rofo about Eucharia is that she has thrown caution to the wind and embraces the age-long axiom: “Our fate is in pour hands.” And truth to God, to such people like Eucharia, their fate is in their hands to make jittery of their reputations before the public glare and yet blink the eye, that nothing is happening. To Eucharia, her fate is in her hand to make foolery of herself in many quarters and in the newspapers and still stand tall and bolder to defend herself saying that whatever she puts on as clothe, she did that from the angle as an entertainer, nevertheless that she’s a staunch or an irrevocably Christian. Although, Eucharia has made us to believe that she’s just a good Christian no matter what she puts on as clothe these days, she even told us in those newspapers that she’s a born-again voyaging to become an evangelist or pastor someday, whatever the case might be, after she undergoes any school that qualifies one to be called a clergy. With that assertion, Eucharia could already be called a pastor because anytime one reads any of her obnoxious teachings or stance on the pages of the newspapers about her faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, one reads a woman who has so much to talk about Christianity, but has less to show in appearance – morally and majestically. Suffice it that Eucharia is very far to exhibit the good characters she preaches from the bible she reads in the real life. The appearance of Eucharia, with her flaunting boobs, at the just concluded “African Music Academy Award” (AMAA) in Owerri of Imo State, has exposed her to indiscriminate ridicule in and outside the bus-stop parliaments. Even her fellow women, as an eyesore and mindsore, have condemned what she wore, but the loquacious Eucharia is yet to accede and plead for forgiveness since she says she is a born-again. Rather, she sees these people as uncivilized people and that she had her opinion. Well, opinion is one of the dividends of democracy, but flaunting of boobs is not one of the dividends of Christianity. The loquacious Eucharia, as if that was not enough, went further with her running-mouth to make feeble-at-heart Christians to believe that even a juju-man can be a good Christian and swells practice his voodoo if what she wore to the AMAA was done as an entertainer. Entertainer Evangelist Eucharia Anunobi, indeed. But one question remains for saint Eucharia, has she not read in the bible, in the book of Matthew, where the Lord Jesus Christ admonishes Christians that one cannot serve two masters at a time? Eucharia, you have to chose whom you will ! Either the Nollywood or the Lord Jesus Christ! It is not good for a beautiful lady like Eucharia to be contradicting the belief of so many Christians who perhaps are not well baked in the things of the bible by her infamous preachments. These people could be misled by Eucharia’s sweet-tongue and sweet-look, ignoring her ill-fated wears. People like Eucharia are the people who propagated the “born-again and churchgoer” theorem. But it is either one is a born-again (from his old belief into the Christian faith) or one is still in his old belief but still goes to church. To this kind of person who goes to the church without repentance and embracement of the Lord Jesus Christ and His doctrines, is not a Christian even though the person might attend church services as many as he likes. The Lord Jesus Christ is not the author of Confusion, but from the way Eucharia is going, she could be seen is an author of confusion. Is Eucharia not carried away by fame? Just Nollywood fame? People like Eucharia are the people who have brought this rampaging moral decadence in our society that the moralists are fighting lead and sinker to quell. Her immodest fashion could be corrupting that girl-child somewhere to tow the line of prostitution owing to the fact that after all, auntie Eucharia was flaunting boobs and no caution was lengthened to her, or even make that boy-child to tow the line of raping girls just to see boobs, like that of Eucharia’s? Eucharia could as well tell us that lesbians and pansies can be good Christians and as well practice the shamefaced conducts that is against humanity and God. Wahala Eucharia! One thin I have envisaged about this Sharon Stone is that she needs advisers, who can manage her very well without any iota of sycophancy or praise-singing her anytime she wants to go gaga with her shamefaced kind of clothes, but my fear is that if she would listen to them because the devilish gods of fame has entered deeply into her head that I don’t think she even has respect for the home she was coming from or listens to anybody for an advice. And it is replete among the many “Nullified-wood” ladies breakout from their matrimonial homes. They end up in marriage ramshackle, perhaps, because they carry the images they create in their Nollywood into their various matrimonial homes, and which man can tolerate an insult in a woman as a wife? Does Eucharia not share in the fate of those Nollywood ladies whose marriages have gone the other way round? And what could still be giving her the audacity to be puffing instead of being quiet with her life because a woman whose marriage is ruined should be shameful and feel remorse except in the recent times people like Eucharia has made us believe that breakup in marriages is also a way of life? And one wonders what could have led to the marriage of the Sharon Stone of Nollywood breakup! Perhaps she is not absolutely SUBMISSIVE to her husband, which the Lord Jesus Christ taught Christian women in the bible to be. Or such indoctrination is not attributable to “high class’ women like Eucharia? Well, any how Eucharia wants to make us to believe that she has had a handshake with the Lord Jesus Christ, a piece of advice here is that as far as her estranged husband lives, she can’t marry any other man, likewise the estranged husband marrying another woman. If they do, it is adultery. Says the Lord Jesus Christ in the bible. Because, the rumour making rounds today is that the beautiful Eucharia is hanging out with a young man she now embraces as her LOVER. Nonsense!
