Femi Adeshina :old Sins Have Long Shadows by Kayharry(m): 8:59pm On May 15, 2020
Old Sins have Long Shadows

I just stumbled on an article written by Femi Adesina while he was at the Sun about the newly appointed Chief of Staff to PMB, Prof. Gambari.

The article was penned at a time when the Niger Delta leaders were up in arms against the appointment of Prof. Gambari as the head of the planned Niger-Delta conference due to his comments while at the UN on the hanging of Ken Saro-Wiwa. Prof. Gambari had then referred to the dramatis personae as 'common criminals'.

So, when the administration of Late Musa Yar'adua decided to appoint him as the Chairman of the conference, all hell literally broke loose with many would-be attendees planning a massive showdown. One even promised the scholarly Professor, a good slap and hiding to boot.

But you see, this isn't the point of this article. The real point of it, were the words so beautifully penned by Femi Adesina (yes the same one!) on the issue at the time. I have taken time to reproduce copiously, the major parts of the 12th paragraph (see full article attached below).

In the 12th paragraph, he wrote: '... when you are we on a slave's errand, do it as a freeborn", another Yoruba saying. Gambari enslaved himself to please his paymasters. Now, 13 years later, the shackles are still tied round his neck, threatening to asphyxiate him. WHAT AN ETERNAL LESSON FOR FAWNING, BOOTLICKING GROVELLERS TO LEARN. OLD SINS INDEED HAVE LONG SHADOWS.'

Intriguingly, this was written barely 12 years ago. Now, Mr. Femi has apparently forgotten about the words, 'eternal lesson' and apt message he put out. I hope those shackles don't asphyxiate him.

P.S: Prof. Gambari did finally opt out of the position due to the public outcry.

Gambari enslaved himself to please his paymasters.

Indeed Femi, Ogbeni try looking in the mirror. Same Femi that told Benue people to give up their lands so they won't be killed.

“It's not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives. It's what we do consistently.” ― Anthony Robbins
This world is a small place.A single lie destroys a whole reputation of integrity.This is the solemn truth Femi Adeshina have long forgotten can come around to hunt.

He back then accused Gambari of asslicking in order to please his paymasters.Today Femi Adeshina found him self in the same shoe.Karma knows how best to punish us.

Humn! A statement that even posterity will never forgive him.

On the controversial RUGA issue, Adesina sided with the Fulanis. Listen to deacon Adesina: “It would be better for those that were oppose to cattle ranching to provide lands than to die in the herdsmen’s attacks. What would the land be used for if those who own it are dead at the end of the day?”

Wonderful!
If you remind Femi of this article now, he'll insult you and your village people join.

But to be fair, Femi has no hand or influence in the appointment of Gambari.

Let's give him a chance to air his opinion about the man again and see if he's consistent.
