“The truth is bitter” is a popular phrase we know of, but nobody likes to hear it; the truth that is. It always sounds like a mortar shelling or bullet riddling. People also believe in the other sayings “Ignorance is bliss” and “What you don’t know won’t hurt you”. Apparently, neither the former nor the latter is true, Ignorance is not bliss and What you don’t know still hurts you, just that you don’t know how it hurts you.

What if I say a bottle of coke is equal to 20 cubes of sugar and its job is to get you closer to diabetes, but I think everybody knows this already.

What if I say the government; world government that is, is constantly looking for ways to hurt you.

Who runs the world? Definitely not the girls.

The Illuminati runs the world! I am not trying to scare you.

What if I say the Illuminati has nothing to do with the devil or religion or profanity and you are made to believe otherwise. The guys in the music industry are just making their money off this façade getting all the attention. From as little as your fast food and fluoride toothpaste to technology, money, market prices and oil, the illuminati controls everything.

40 years after the world war, the world population was balanced and was growing geometrically. They had to do something about it, don’t you think? Surely, the world was more peaceful then, they could not start another war. Poetically, the Odysseus of their time advised them, they took to the labs and prepared some pathogens perfect for population control. They dispatched the HIV first, then 30 years later, they dispatched Ebola, though they had announced both of them together. For what it’s worth, the “undead” virus may still be in their freezer, but I would not like to scare you further.

What if I say 9/11 was all planned by the host country themselves, I cannot give too much details on this.

What if I say for some reason unknown to me, since the dawn of civilization; the days of Alex the Great, every big gun has been trying to conquer Afghanistan as if to avert a prophecy of some sort. I would not know if the Afghans are good or bad but I know they have oil and the people fighting them are the people they do not sell oil to; USSR, Russia, U.S.A. But the Afghans are resilient, local enemies of Afghanistan used to say a prayer.

“May God deliver us from the venom of the cobra, the teeth of the tiger and the revenge of the Afghan”

Pablo Escobar and Muammar Gadhafi might have not been bad guys but victims of their individual causes just like Ojukwu.

What if I say the mainstream Nigerian music videos of today are more or less soft porn videos a pervert would easily masturbate to, just the lyrics are enough for the pleasure. Put me in a superior position and I’d ban them all and mandate the musicians to enrol for basic moral education. I’m sure you’ll do the same, but it could all be an attempt by the government to corrupt the next generation.

What if I say the whole subsidy issue, Farouk Lawan, Otedola, subsidy committee is a total film show and the ordinary people of Nigeria are their grateful audience.

What if I say that the girls were not abducted but instead relocated. It was more of a relaxed operation than a quick one. This is only my opinion, though they called it an act of terrorism, they say terrorism is a consequence of religion.

What if I say religion is more of a tool for propaganda than a tool for salvation. I am not supposed to be blasphemous, they say. So I should not say stuff like “The pope is gay” or “the forbidden tree is not a tree but actually sex”, but that’s none of my business.

I might appear to be spewing hatred, but it’s the truth and it’s food for the spirit.

What if you say I’m a blatant liar and I am just talking rubbish. If the shoe fits, I’ll wear it, but if it doesn’t. Then you have to swallow the truth, grin and bear it.
