*BY OGO’OGU MD, THE SO OF THE MINISTRY OF CELEBRATION.*
*”The extension of the positive characteristics of a father can contribute more to the healing of a nation, society than all the money-laden do good programs combined. These caring, compassionate, respectful and loving attributes can not only encourage and heal a family, community and the society at large, but can be extended outward to a neighborhood, a town, a city, a territory, a region, and a country.” Byron R. Pulsifer*
Ladies and gentlemen, the gospel of peace is the gospel of unity but only when it is done without sectionalism, ethnicity, religion, and lopsidedness.
Today I am delighted for the opportunity heaven granted unto me to witness, and be part of sincere and progressive citizens of Ebira land that will celebrate and rejoice with our Royal father, His Majesty Alhaji Ado Ibrahim, the Ohinoyi of Ebiraland as he marks another wonderful year.. happy birthday.
Your Majesty, today, I bring to you an issue that troubles my head concerning the society you father… it is never part of God’s plan for a son to be afraid of his father, but wisdom demands that children should respect and honor their parents, so as our father, I come to you with full assurance of my utmost respect, and honor, as I speak to your heart- a conversation between father and son….happy listening.
*Etan Thomas read and I quote… A leader is a person who puts the welfare of the group above himself. It’s the same thing with fathers….Your Majesty, it is not out of place if you tour round our setelite settlements, all Ebira communities, and local government areas in Kogi Central… this is a display of authority over your territory. The action or outing alone can solve more of the pending problems of division and resentment amongst your people that are silently destroying the unity, and tore apart our garment of peace in EBIRALAND, leading to breakdown of Ebira family behavioral pattern, no leadership.*
Remember, if your society is at peace, there will be progress, your reign will be honored by all, and your crown feels larger, but if scattered and divided as it stands, you will be ignored, disrespected, and possibly booed for failing your responsibility of good leadership, and history may not be too kind, or are you afraid of any part of your land??? *Taaru Your Majesty.*
*This proposed tour is capable of restoring trust, confidence, royalty, peace and security, because everyone will have the opportunity to see the father leaving his comfort zone, denying his pleasure of hiding in the beautiful home of Alhaji Ado Ibrahim (the currently adopted palace of Ohinoyi of Ebiraland), for the sake of our unity, peace and progress. Remember, a King who does not tour the village or relate with the villagers, ignores his people, lacks knowledge of the true situation of his people and has little or no answer to the problems of his people… Ohinoyi tour Your Territory, Your Majesty*
One of the many advantages of this trip is that It will create room for tolerance and coexistence, which are currently a systemic threat to our peace and unity, even much as we all pretend that all is well. Your majesty, all is not well with your land and people.
*”I have repeatedly stated and emphatically declared that the key to the restoration and preservation of a sane and healthy society is the salvaging of the male, especially as a responsible father.” Myles Munroe*
It is good to talk about peace and unity via radio and social media, but to be taken serious, it must be experienced physically in our conducts, relationships with others and paying attention to community or society crisis… *Taaru Your Majesty, Your wisdom, knowledge, exposure and connections must be felt by all, especially now that you are on the thrown. Or the happiness and interest of Ebira families are not a priority to you??? We all can not be kings, there must be followers…*
The position of a Royal father is sacred, it is the highest position in the society that when he speaks, the citizen bow and obey…but why is it not so? Well, your answer is best as mine… *Remember a royal father is a father of all and someone who loves unconditionally.*
“To be our father is the greatest honor you ever received. It allowed you to touch mystery for a moment, and to see our love made flesh for such a time as this. If I could have but one wish, it would be for you to pass that love across . After all, there is not much more to life than that…. *Happy Birthday.*
Father, your sons and daughters are been carried away by drugs, this has become a threat to our society and the voice of the father (Ohinoyi of Ebiraland) is needed to address this immoral act in our society. You can organize town hall meeting and invite our political leaders, youths, Otarus and Ohis and charge everyone to come with a workable solution drafted in black and white. *If we do not act now…God forbid we might all regret our silence in the future…Happy Birthday*
I pray as this article drops on your table, you will read with the mindset of a warrior who protect his people, a young man who desire peace and unity in the defense of his society. Start voicing out and calling for your input to birth a society that works and free of hatred, disunity and intolerance in Jesus Name…Amen
Live Long His Royal Majesty.
Happy Birthday
Happy New Age
*May Your Reign Reunite And Restore Peace In The Land Before Your Say Bye bye Planet Earth Nice Meeting You.*
