Thomas Thomas Takes Failure to.....

By Alhaji Umani Uwemedimo


There is a popular saying "show me your friend, and I will tell you who you are".

It is very true that when people are curse or destined to fail, whatever or whoever associates with them becomes failure.

This has been the hallmark of Thomas Thomas from birth. The name is very familiar in Akwa Ibom State. Most times people mistake him to be a journalist; the truth is that Thomas is not a journalist but a man who chooses to destroy others by assassinating their characters and achievement through his fictitious writings and outright falsehood so they can be seen as failures like him.

Thomas Thomas started writing for newspapers Community Pulse Newspapers at about 2009 with a clear cut mission to malign, assassinate, and destroy people’s reputations by writing all manners of falsehood and fictions against them. This he does with the intention that his victims will look for him and beg him with money to stop destroying their character because they have a future to protect.

But because he is destined for failure, coupled with the innocent cries of his victims, the millions he has swindled from people so far has not achieved anything for him, neither is his life and living condition anything better than that of a church rat. He criticizes, blackmailed, and writes all kinds of fictitious things about government in an attempt to ensure that such government fails. In his attempt to blackmail government and make it devilish to the people, he runs into trouble with people and government which includes arrest and court actions.

His known allies who are also affected by this curse for failure are Solomon Johnny and Unyime Ekwere. They were flushed out of the Community Pulse newspaper the same day in 2010 when they tried to turn the newspaper into an attack dog for Senator Udoedehe.

They went back to the opposition leader Sen Udoedehe and collected fat sums of money to establish Global Concord Newspaper which they use as the mouth piece and attack dog of Sen Udoedehe from 2010 till date. They wrote all manners of evil and lies to discredit the government then in their selfish bid to enthrone Udoedehe as governor in 2011 which they failed. Trust Akwa Ibom people who love bad news, the paper became one of the best selling local newspapers in the state. A lot of people where falling on them with money couple with the proceeds they make from false stories and blackmail, but none of them today can boast of a better living condition.

This explains when a man is anointed for failure and that affects all that associates with him. Soon after the 2011 election, Solomon Johnny contested the 2012 councillorship election in Ibesikpo Asutan and failed.

In 2015, the Global Concord which had long been factionalized into three separate editions because of Thomas insincerity went separate ways. The Monday edition which is edited by Thomas Thomas stuck to Udoedehe, Wednesday edition edited by Unyime Ekwere declared support for Umana Umana, while Friday edition handled by Solomon Johnny went for Udoedehe. To show that Thomas was anointed for failure, and he always support failure; his candidate for the APC governorship ticket then, Udoedehe could not even win the party primaries. He attempted to contest the Etinan Federal Constituency seat in that 2015 but failed the primary.

Unyime Ekwere who supported Umana Umana for governorship got the party ticket for Etinan State Constituency in 2015 but lost the election because anything associated with Thomas must fail. And anything he supports must fail. But before then, Thomas had already extorted a lot of money from Umana Umana because he does not joke with money. He can write anything for you when money is involved. He can paint the devil to look like Jesus Christ when he is paid, but the unfortunate thing is that all must fail.

But despite all their spew and media campaigns of calumny against the candidate of the PDP then, they all failed together. Can you now see that Thomas Thomas caries a curse that everything he supports must fail?

Thomas Thomas is a very dubious person. The Global Concord newspaper became factionalized because of Thomas. When they finish printing the newspaper, Thomas will go back to the printer and secretly reprint the same edition and take it to the distributors for sale, and whatever is the unsold from the Global Concord, they will count his money from the sold copies while the unsold copies is counted for the general printing. When Solomon Johnny discovered this, he became very angry with Thomas, and that led to the division.

It’s only those who don’t know Thomas that can take him serious. Almost everybody is now used to his style and how to get his support. Just promise him position and give him money, he can write anything you want for you. Before the APC primaries, Thomas again declared his support for Udoedehe which makes it clear that Udo was heading for another doom. As predicted, it happened that Udoedehe lost the APC governorship ticket to Nsima Ekere.

But before then, Thomas told his readers that Nsima Ekere cannot win APC primaries, and cannot become governor in Akwa Ibom state. Because Thomas is known for failure, his candidate lost to Ekere, and to fulfil his vow that Nsima Ekere cannot be governor of Akwa Ibom state, he has now moved in to support Ekere knowing that he carries the anointing for failure.

But before then, Thomas and Solomon Johnny were dangling around PDP chieftains for cash to get their support. It was feared that if Thomas ever ventured into Udom’s second term election, that will be a failure on the part of the governor. Being a devoted Christian, Udom and his supporters ignored all their antics that they want to support him because he is better than Nsima Ekere by all standards. Yes, it's true that Udom is far more better than Ekere, but were they saying it out of conviction or because they wanted money?

Thank God that Thomas Thomas the failure has finally locate Nsima Ekere, and very soon Solomon Johnny will join him when the required N2 million for each of them is paid to Johnny just like it was paid to Thomas. Work will soon start. All I can say is happy failed project again.
