UMAHI i: The Cuban Chief Priest And Desperate Search For Relevance

From Emmanuel Uzor ,

After listening to a rabble rousing comment allegedly credited to one Paschal Okechukwu, popularly known as Cubana Chief Priest in their world of immoral assembly, united by alcohol and other illicit substances, I struggled to raise my pen to drop any rejoinder.

Ordinarily, I don't take anything coming from an overfed buffon who is always under the influence of alcohol, being a bar tender and agent of illicit pollination of substances and other drugs seriously, but what drew my attention was that he mentioned a man so dear to the hearts of Nigerians, His Excellency, Senator David Umahi, the Honourbale Minister of Works.

I would have been hard on my reply or assessment of Cuban Chief Priest but what quickly came to my mind was that I remembered you don't shame the shameless, you don't discuss a man who in all intents and purposes chases clout online and leverages on insulting people to make money.

His comment on Senator Umahi deserves pity because he was in his usual element of being under the influence of substance when he alluded that the Honourbale Minister of Works has not done anything in the South East for them to use to campaign for President Bola Tinubu.

I want to agree with CP that he has no knowledge of campaign. At least, you don't expect a man who could not campaign for himself to win an ordinary primary election for the House of Representatives to campaign for a whole presidency.

If Cubana Chief Priest could not handle the responsibility of coordinating the City Boys Movement given to him in South East, how do you think he can effectively see anything to campaign with when he is always busy with alcohol and women of easy virtue?

Anything that does not have coloration of alcohol, hard and other illicit substances and women sounds awkward and meaningless to CP because he doesn't have any positive thoughts except clubbing and messing around. So he often misunderstands governance with frivolities.

It's obvious his state of mind after soaking himself in alcoholism got formated that he quickly realized that there was no federal government project anywhere in the South East where he undertook to be the coordinator of the city boys Movement.

Probably waking up from the arms of strange women and still basking in the euphoria of hangover, he tried to take his madness on Senator David Umahi to continue his desperate chase for fame which clubbing and other criminal activities could not give him.

With the embarrassing bagages he bear with shame, one would have expected that the overfed urban gorilla with zero relevance to his immediate family and South East in general should be thinking on how to shed himself of these atrocious behaviors and try to be a better person.

A man who practically made himself an agent of pollination, crossbreeding offsprings across the continent with zero shame is to a very large extent, an irresponsible man who should not be allowed to contribute even in the meeting of Umunna.

I quite agreed with him that Umahi has not done anything in the South East that he (CP) would use to campaign for Tinubu and APC. How can he see the roads including the one opening in his own backyard? He is too busy to differentiate between a reinforced concrete road pavement and the express road inbetween women tighs. He should know that the roads Umahi is constructing in the country is different from the roads he crisscross every night in night clubs.

If Paschal Okechukwu did not see the Uga-Akokwa to Okigwe federal highway that is being done by President Tinubu through the Honourbale Minister of Works Senator David Umahi, he did not also see the Afikpo-Uturu-Okigwe federal highway that is being done with the demolition of the Uturu Mountain to dualize the road to CP's State, how then do you describe such a character?

A man who is not in touch with anything that tends to show seriousness except it is a pool nude party. A beach party and a drinking gathering should not be asking embarrassing questions that portrays his depth in content and character.

I don't want to dwell so much on what he spewed against Umahi because it will be like dignifying his shallow thoughts with a response because there is no gainsaying the fact that Cubana Chief Priest does not always reason from his normal senses but through the instrumentality of alcohol.

Under the headship and supervision of Senator David Umahi as Minister of Works, South East has been turned into construction site with the following:

How on earth can someone with clear sense see this humongous projects and still say he does not see anything to campaign with?
We should tell CP to wake up from his drinking spree and face the reality of life because a man who sleeps and wakes up from the arms of strange women can never think straight.
