    Honourable Without Honour

    Honourable Without Honour

    When Jesus Christ says prophets are without honour only in his native land, none of Jesus Christ disciples care to ask why Jesus made such statement. People never question the prefix of ‘Honourable’ that is attached to political office holders name, notwithstanding that these politicians are non-members of House of Assembly. We live in an era of widespread lies and white deceits and no one cares.

    X-raying today’s politicians and their unearned tittles, one is bound to worry on the actual character ratings of these self acclaimed honourables when you put their personalities and behavior in public offices under moral lenses. Honour can be given to a deserving person based on his honest contribution to any of the existing sectors. In that wise, it will be an honour well earned and deserving.

    People deliberately distort facts to create a path for a given society of people to follow like the honourable prefix taken up by politicians with no basis for it. Every practicing politician and political office holder wear honourable like a neck diadem to the admiration of unsuspecting public.

    Honourable implies bringing or deserving honour. Let measure our public office holders from the results of their stewardships and decide if they deserve the honourable prefix in their names. Public office is primarily a service focused arena where you bring your all to duties of the office you are assigned in the most decent way possible. It is through your service to your people overtime that the people you so served will consider you for public commendation and that is when you can be called Honourable and it will be truly deserving.

    In a public office where gathering of crumbs, engaging in dirty deals, inflating contracts, praise singing to curry favour, using lies and deceits as political currencies and approval of contract driving by kickbacks, such politicians do not qualify to be considered to be called Honourable because there is no honour in any of these practices. This is how politics and government are being run nowadays and these same political merchants will parade themselves as honourable to the admiration of an ignorant society of people.

    Honourable is not an item you buy across the counter, it’s to be earned through extraordinary performance in quality service delivery to the people. It is on this note do I make a request from the present politicians to tame their inordinate quest for penchant lust for material items while in office and focus on the object of their election or appointment which is service and stop behaving like a lord or god who will not give account at last. We are the maker of our society and the scores we have today isn’t to be proud of. You are directly responsible for the state of the nation and state of our state, Ekiti. You will account for your role in making or unmaking this nation and our dear Ekiti. Time is ticking, mend your roles and do the right thing. Stop chasing wealth for personal use in politics, create it for the people. You can’t water the people you serve without you being watered in return. When you create thorns for people, you will get pricked harder. Whatever you sow will bear fruits for you to reap. Do honourable deeds and you will be at peace with the title you much crave, Honourable. Our politicians are honourable without honour like so called Church goers who claimed to be Christians but without the knowledge of Jesus Christ. Heal your heart!

    Elder Kayode Oso writes from Lekki, Lagos.
