Ghosts do not not belong to the world of the living. Ghosts have their world. You can never predict the operations of ghosts if you are not a ghost.
Humans can only shout and scream with the appearance and disappearance of a ghost. That’s all!
Do not attempt to settle a quarrel between ghosts if you do not want to be mistaken to a fool! Leave the battle between ghosts for ghosts to settle. Let them fight and settle their differences in their world. They understand their world. The activities of ghosts transpire in the dark.
Ghosts see and operate freely in the dark. Their activities are veiled from public view. Why then do empty mortals want to penetrate that world and offer solutions to their problems? The best humans can do is to sit and watch the drama with an unbiased mind.
Do not defend any ghost no matter how innocent he or she appears. Do not cry for the screaming of a ghost because the ghost does not represent you or care about your interest more than the interest of a fellow ghost.
Trying to describe a ghost amounts to an effort invested in futility because it is a world you do not belong. Fighting for or defending a ghost on social media is a trade only idle men engage.
The Nigerian Senate is an institution on its own. It is a world that few elites belong. Actors in this theatre have an index of bonding between them that ordinary Nigerians are not privileged to enjoy. Trying to analyze events at the Senate is like walking into a pathless wood.
The recent alleged sexual harassment case against the senate president, Senator Godswill Akpabio by Senator Natasha Uduaghan which has generated serious heat in the polity is only the fight of ghosts in the public which does not happen often. It is just a scene that was captured with cameras and beamed for members of the public to view. What has became a subject of debate on social media is only a scene, the rest of the series are hidden from public view.
In that theatre called red chambers, many events take place behind the curtains. Those ones are are blurred from public view. They are not subjected to discussions in press conferences. The Nigerian Senate is like the land of the ghosts, mere mortals do not understand the workings and internal politics at the red chambers.
If you did not know, please know it from now that beyond what you sit at the comfort of your home to watch on screen, the Nigerian senate as an institution is like sponge, absorbing much and giving little away. Don’t argue blindly on things you know a little about. There are more to Natasha versus Akpabio than both parties are ready to divulge to members of the public. It will amounts to display of ignorance and foolishness to argue blindly in support or against any party in the case.
A man of few words courts few enemies!
