Sleeping in a Coffin?
Point of correction, I do not sleep in a
casket, I sleep on my bed, it’s big and
comfy, I only lay in my “casket”when I do
my meditation because it helps me to be
focused, it tells me more about the
imminence of death. My casket is a
reminder. It wakes me up from slumber.
It tells me, “guy, you have got little or no
time left, wake up, be creative and
work”.
Of course, when I read some of the
comments of my people, I know a good
number of us are ill-informed about
quite a number of things. I think it is
more of what the casket represents that
shocks my people and they start reading
meanings into it, depending on their
level of understanding. But one question
is, what if the same wood that was used
to build the casket was used to make a
sofa chair?
May be, all the hullabaloo about me
sitting on a chair wouldn’t have been
there in the first place? So when people
vocalize their disapproval of my message
via the image of a casket, I understand
that they do that from a position of Fear,
fear of what the casket represents –
Death. So whatever people fear they
antagonize. But, the fact that I have
reminded myself and even you about
death does not really change a thing. It
won’t draw your death near, and it
won’t even shift it away. All it does is
simply a reminder, to thread carefully.

My Coffin sensitizes
Only if a kidnapper can buy a casket for
himself today, and begin to lay inside,
constantly reminding himself that death
looms even as he goes about kidnapping
and extorting money from families. It’s
possible to realize at a point that all his
activities will one day end up in a casket,
and there, his flesh will rotten. The same
is applicable to all evil doers. They need
to realize, like in the famous book,
“Waiting for Godot” that the world is
bizarre and empty, as vanity plus vanity
will always end up in vanity. Crime no
dey pay jor.
My Coffin preaches:
Take a critical look at my image inside
the coffin, it speaks volume. I always lay
in my casket with my cap, glasses, shoes
on. I’m always well dressed. Yes, it is
always done intentionally to tell us that
your glory disappears with all the wealth
you must have acquired the very day you
go to that coffin. Your glory-your cap
goes with you, your vision-your glasses
goes with you; your struggle-your shoes
goes with you. The only thing left of you
is your history and your legacy. The crux
of the message is to leave a legacy, so
we can live forever, not in the physical,
but in people’s memories. As for me, I
will live forever. You dey vex
We are blind because of our fears
Who knows what any of us sees from
the privacy of our own blindness? Make
no mistakes, each of us is blind in a
particular way, just as each of us is
sighted uniquely. Consider how each of
us is blinded by what we fear. If we fear
heights, we are blind to the humility vast
perspectives bring. If we fear Passion,
we are blind to the comfort of Oneness.
If we fear change, we are blind to the
abundance of life. If we fear death, we
are blind to the mystery of the unknown.
And since to fear is something
thoroughly human, to be blind is
unavoidable.
It is what each of us must struggle to
overcome. To a large degree, I have
overcome my fear of death, all I ask God,
is that may my death not be painful. I’m
sure some of you know how my cousin
who was killed by kidnappers died an
agonizing death. You see, in the course
of our lives, we all stumble and struggle,
repeatedly, in and out of relationship, in
and out of the grace of the hidden
wholeness of life, most of us struggle
and stumble with the uncertainty of
tomorrow as Nigerians.
I have discovered that in the course of
our lives, and as blind children, we may
never know what we are called to be
until we have learned what we are called
to become by simply overcoming our
fears. In life, death is the most important
reminder of all activities. Abi you dey
