After watching the Acting President, Professor Yemi Osibanjo today in Benin City, Edo State, on TV live during his fact finding meeting with the good people of Edo state, I realised that he is totally not a Nigerian. He listened to all speakers with rapt attention and concentrated interest. One could see him practically and personally experiencing the pains of the abandoned and raped people of the Niger Delta. Even when there was a mini riot in the hall he remained calmed and probably prayerful as an ordained man of God. If the mild drama of mini riot that played out in the hall had happened in a situation where even a local government chairman was in charge, the chairman would have ordered the security men to shot at sight. If the person in charge was a state governor or a President of the Nigerian he would have ordered a massive arrest and inglorious shot at perception and at sight, but the learned and erudite scholar and legal luminary of international acclaim did not do any of that rather when he responded he said he equally shared the grievance of the aggrieved Niger Delta people. This is un-Nigerian. For a leader to share in the pains of the people and not to deal with them for daring to engage in mini riot in his presence shows that the goddess of pride, the delusion grandeur and megalomania tendency usually associated with the average Nigerian leader at virtually all levels are not in the Acting President. For him to order all the oil companies to move their headquarters to the Niger Delta is a wonderful act of justice and healing of the age long injury inflicted on the Niger Delta people. That he visited the Niger Delta states differently and interacted directly with the people and even visited the creeks to personally access the horrible situation is worth more than commendation.
No Nigerian leader at his level has acted like this. This is the reason I doubt if Acting President Yemi Osibanjo, SAN, is a Nigerian. Probably he is a Moses in the making to the Niger Delta people.

Our take @ Soji Graphics:-
Of course Professor Yemi Osinbajo is a Nigerian. Not even a dual citizen. Yet a dual citizen. A citizen of Nigeria and a citizen of a Higher Kingdom, where our conduct character and way of life are diametrically opposite to the way of this world.
In this world, it self first. So their order of life is selfishness, pride, greed and lust. And this explain it all, why past leaders not of Nigeria alone all over world behave the way they are.
With time, Soji Graphics will answer Donald trump of America word for word of his infamous speech against blacks and Africans. We will show him the planks in his eyes while trying to blow a speck of sawdust out of others. Because Donald Trump is of this world. And his scandal and controversy riddled life is enough a proof.
But the likes and types of Yemi Osinbajo are in this world but not of this world.
And this makes all the difference than tons of flyers and handbills to invite people to church.
Winning men over, by your conduct and lifestyle
