A part of Nigeria says that when
a child knows how to wash his hands well he will dine with elders. Japtheth J Omojuwa
has been dining with the elders lately therefore, it’s a proof that his hands
are well washed.
Few years ago I met
this brilliant and very vibrant young man who is made of great stuff. I haven’t
met too many young people with such a personality graced with such aura and
splendor. If you call him a realist, I say he is a realist extraordinaire. Japheth
isn’t another experimental work of creation, neither is he just a number
amongst the over 6billion people that occupy space on planet earth. He’s a
brilliant chap who has mastered the art of applying wisdom to life, people, and
most recently politics.
Yeah! You only
need to know him a little to know that he is such a revolutionary. Especially when
it comes to the show-off of vibrant and well articulated passion, organized zeal,
and desire to be heard. My first interaction with him was during undergraduate
days. Those were his days of turning point. The result of his turning point,
has explained that the dog in every man can be judiciously tamed. And that in
every pervert is a celibate and probably vice versa.
I just wonder at
his incredible ability to argue a course crazily with facts, dates, and questions
that he only would eventually answer. In my modest opinion, I think Arsene
Wenger owes this particular Nigerian so much. Being a passionate Gunner he
carelessly uncovers his passion for football at the slightest opportunity. He
does it so well that you could possibly become irritated most especially if football
is far from your passion or first love. But you can’t but stay glued to him so
you can amass the wealth of information that he’s willing to release at such a
deafening will, thoroughness, speed and with so much objectivity.
His seamless use
of word play is revealed when he blends simile, metaphor and sarcasm
effortlessly like any other Nobel Laureate. I’m a fan of smart people who love to say so
much with little words and time. So that side of him thrills me a lot. When he
renders short speeches, you’ll most likely think that he was only born to talk.
Then when he writes, you are like, this is exactly what he was born to do! Japheth
J Omojuwa is a bundle of multitalented missile fired to our world for
remarkable effect, taking Africa as a starting
point.
Sometimes ago I
just concluded and called him a workaholic, and sincerely I still wonder if he
sleeps at all. Lately, someone said he tweets so hard that there’s virtually no
need to use up more words tweeting.
His passion to
be heard and to challenge conventional wisdom has been demonstrated through his
online voice www.omojuwa.com. His uncompromised and well thought out political
views on pragmatic and daring political issues has decorated his brain child (www.omojuwa.com) with the Best Nigerian
Political Blog 2011. In fact he has brought a new meaning to accomplishment.
You will fail
repeatedly at several attempts to make him live by your own opinion, after he’s
personally convinced over an issue that have been well incubated and re-baked
again and again in his mind. He cares less about what others feel. For that
uncommon courage, I doff my hat.
Omojuwa’s strong loud esteem has been
adequately mistaken for pride and some others feel his pride or strong self
esteem (whichever you choose) is traceable to the kings’ College thing. Anyway
behind the proud and hard talking Japheth is a respectful, caring and quite
courteous Omojuwa who is quite simple and personable, yet with the will of
steel. But trust me, don’t expect him to be courteous enough to ever shut
his mouth when they are supposed to be doing the graceful work of running for
the sake of liberty.
He’s a crazy God
chaser who draws market place inspiration from the author of inspiration
himself. Like Rockefeller, he cleaned the house of Worship joyfully and
tactically. Omojuwa has been caught doing cleansing justice to what he calls
his Father’s House. In my opinion, he can’t but be richer than Rockefeller in
both intellectual and material wealth.
He’s a brilliant
chap who has mastered the act of thinking. And thinking you know is what the
average mind will do anything to avoid. Jay is a perfect and quintessential
example of someone who makes no bones about his political view. It doesn’t have
to go well with those who feed on the goodluck of lukewarm leaders; he says it
the way it is. And that’s his essence
Omojuwa for me is a subject of high
value for several reasons. As he turns a year older my great hope and
prayer is not only that he institutionalizes his full essence but that he’ll
build a brand known for the truth and also, that he inspires many more young
men and women to give themselves to the rebirth of comatose Nigeria by standing
for what matters.
