Iyabo’s Love For Shame
The nature of a woman is aplomb. She is amiable, consistent, adorable,
and meek and makes sure that peace reigns in any environment she is,
when the men are going gaga or exhibiting might in the wrong direction
to each other. She hates corruption, which is one of the man’s pedigrees
of rubbish characters after she made the man derail in the
heaven-like-garden in Eden. And I have loved women so much for those
features for several years except in recent times some women have taken
to the wrong definition of the feminist agitation of “Gender equality”,
and come short of the glory of my love.
Sen. Iyabo Obasanjo-Bello is among those women who have come short of
the glory of my love, because she is not behaving like a woman. She has
abandoned the features of a woman, paralleling with the men in the
dogged way. Some of these women behave inhuman than human. They are not
even behaving like the men that they are struggling to equal, but
something older than the first child of a vampire. There is no iota of
shame in the face of Iyabo. She has thrown shame to the dustbin. Women
are known to be shameful when they are attacked or exposed to the public
glare. That is why it’s very seldom, if not hard, to see a madwoman that
is walking naked on the road, the madwoman must be provided with clothes
by other sane women, for cover.
Iyabo has messed-up, Iyabo that I loved so much? She does not want to
draw her handwriting on a resignation letter after Everest allegations
of corrupt practices are traced to under her carpet. She does not even
blink; let alone crying. She is even stoical asking journalists not to
enter her office, as her father also did in his Otta farm?
Iyabo is stonehearted, resilient, in the wrong direction. She is seeing
resigning from the office too hard a thing to do? Just as her father,
Chief Olusegung Obasanjo, would rather prefer to go on exile than
forgive his enemies?
Iyabo does not know that I was in love with her and that the mammoth
allegations against her are even rumpling stomach, causing fever to me.
I wish Iyabo can make up her mind and resign. Her sit-tight posture in
the senate does not worth it. Her decision is in the wrong direction.
She should stop listening to those self-crowned sycophants who are bent
to wrong advice for their selfish interests.
Iyabo is so beautiful, like a threatening star of heaven walking on
earth. Her beauty should also reach her mind. Iyabo should resign
quickly, so that my fever could heal. Does Iyabo not know that she is a
woman? She should stop behaving like a man who can go naked in a street
and at the same time walk the same street ten times a day without being
ashamed. Can a woman go naked on the street? Maybe, because of “Gender
Equality”? I still have love for women, but not those who behave like
Iyabo!
