Someone called to seek my view about the construction company overseeing repairs on the Third Mainland Bridge, recorded to have ‘sacrificed’ three rams before the start of repairs.
Calmly, I asked the fellow: “If one of your favourite pastors or Imams had come to annoint the road or even held a service there before the commencement of work, would you have felt the same way or protested?”
So, you despise other people’s faiths because their ways and doctrines differ from yours? That’s religious intolerance, and I take exception to it.
The fellow quietly walked away because my points were brief, pungent, and unmistakably true. Give unto Caesar, what’s Caesar’s.
After all, the sky is wide enough for birds to fly without getting involved in accidents.
Aboru bo’ye o!
