Obi isn’t A Boy Anymore!

By Dr jarlath Uche Opara

It must be a joke, a fantasy of the highest depth. How will it happen?
Obi isn’t a boy anymore. The shoulder is broader, the muscles grown and the energy to do mighty works regenerating.

It would have happened years ago. He wanted it then, not anymore, for level has changed and the position very unbefitting. His height has grown taller, his width broader and the capacity of his reach and influence burgeoning by day.

Tell me how it will happen? Obi is no more a boy .

His influence looms large, his voice reverberates with honour and his carriage weaved around with integrity and morals.

He is larger now, with the boldness of a lion to confront any wild in the jungle. Obi isn’t a boy again. He was, many years ago, not anymore.

Obi is a man, full of beards and white hairs of wisdom, knowledge and skills to remain afloat in the jungle of politics without being devoured. He isn’t a boy anymore to play a second fiddle to anybody not even the warthog with all its speed and swiftness.

Let that thought be buried on arrival, for the brightness of Obi’ character and charima would make it look a dent on the persona of a man that has been tested and certified able to lead the largest nation in Africa to its promised land.

Let that thought be buried. Let that permutation be dismantled, it wouldn’t work, he is no more a boy. Let that discussion be seen as the joke of the century, baseless, ludicrous and at best very retrogressive. The horse is gone far enough, bolting the door makes no sense. He gallops, like a wathhog he mesmerises any wild animal in the jungle with ease, confidence and mastery.

Look far into the north, Obi isn’t a boy anymore. The south has crown him, and crown kings don’t play second fiddle. They are rather the attraction, the game changer and the deal breakers . He isn’t that boy that had no shop, running from shop to shop to sale then (Oso Ahia) . He is a man, with an established shop, with customers coming in droves for patronage. Why would he play a second fiddle? By the way, he is on lease for eight years, the masses would be enraged and miffed if at all he renages on the terms and conditions of the lease by playing that second fiddle rumoured about.

Obi isn’t a boy anymore! Levels have changed and for the best too. If you feel me and understood my vibe, you are indeed the wise one. If not, hmmmm!! Fogerrit!! You trekking to this point of understanding is faaaaaar!!
