"Be Like James Ibori" - Pastor Advice Nigerians At Ibori's Birthday Thanksgiving

.

Chai!!!! Some MOG ehn!!
On Sunday 4th August 2013, the people of Oghara in Delta State celebrated their former governor in grand style on his 55th birthday. Although, the ex governor, James Onanefe Ibori, is currently serving his jail terms in a London prison for fraud, his admirers and political associates gathered to celebrate him.

The celebration started with a Thanksgiving service at the Baptist Church,
where the pastor, Rev Iweh Godspower, challenged the congregation to emulate Ibori.

While the Rev was preaching, he asked:
"What is that aspect of ibori's personality that could attract such mammoth crowd which filled the church and overflows outside?"

He answered his own question by saying:
"It is given that Ibori is a huge success, but that is not why all of you have left your homes and different towns to be in Oghara today; even though the man you have come to celebrate may never know the individuals that have come to honour him. You have come to Ogahara today because Ibori is a man who after climbing high in the social, political and economical ladders of Nigeria, he did not seize and throw away the ladders in the way most Nigerian big men usually do; he made the ladder available for others to climb up too. And even when some people are too weak to make good use of that ladder, he helped pull them up.That is why you are here today. Never forget that and you go and do likewise; help others to climb up the ladders of life and love."

The crowd applauded him and others bellowed Ibori's nickname "Odidigborigbo of Africa."
The three days celebration ends  with a topflight novelty football match at the Oghara Township Stadium.

I wonder why Nigerians continue to celebrate 'lootocracy'. They honour looters, terrorists, militants, assassins etc
