About Yourself

Since I was a young boy, I have always wanted to be a politician. But I was lucky to be raised by my grandfather who trained me as a priest. I really enjoyed working as a missionary; the only snag I dislike about the calling is that it put one in public focus. I got my full bash as a politician in University of Ibadan. The campus politics was a bit dirty and intolerant of oppositions but it was nevertheless advanced more than the ethno-class politics played by the likes of PDP, ANPP, and AC. Yet campus politicians lacked ideology and majority of student politicians were influenced by role models like Arthur Nzeribe, Late Adedibu, and Late Comrade Ola Oni. Most student politicians lacked ideological leaning except the pragmatic militant group known as Democratic Socialist Movement. In spite of their ideological leaning and their advocacy of fundamental human rights, the DSM are intolerant of oppositions and no sooner do they found themselves in power that they become usually more corrupt than their predecessors in office. Life after college gave me the opportunity to go into trading. Mercantile business has its ups and down. Though I'm not yet there but I continued to learn daily and get involved in daring mercantile operations. Even though I enjoy this profession, it is my desire to delve into politics at the right time. Even though I may not be working in the mission presently, I do not subscribe to the tradition that a man of God must take money from the congregation. Working for God is a vocation, a calling between man and the omnipotent God. Salaried men of God does not originate from the bible, a man of God must put his hand to work to feed himself and his family though this does not prevents him from accepting gift in cash or kind from the laity.
