Auchi Is Not Too Far From Okene, We Demand For Public Apology – Ebira Youths Warns Apostle Johnson Suleman

Ebira youths has taken the social media to react over the viral video of the founder and General Overseer of Omega Fire Ministries International, Apostle Johnson Suleman.

In the video which went viral during last Tuesday, January 23, that Apostle Johnson Suleman of Omega Fire Ministries was over heard saying “You want to wear a brazilian hair on ebira head”

However, many kogites who condemned the pastor’s words has reacted to the video, while some also supported the pastor’s moves.

See some reactions with vidoe;

It’s not uncommon to come across a Nigerian clergyman, who is energetic, anointed, gifted and vocal, but lacking in basic hermeneutical and pedagogical skills. This can be proven by the rife gaffs we see and watch them make every now and again.

There is a video, currently in circulation on the social media space where the head of the clergy of the Omega Fire Ministries, Apostle Johnson Suleiman made a statement during a sermon, an allusion that many, especially of the Ebira extract have found rather offensive and insulting, than its prolly intended message.

The entire message is not available for careful perusal, but, I’ll try to drive a context from the clip.

I believe what he said was intended as a figure of speech. I believe he meant the innuendo, as simply a geographical contrast, and not to denigrate or disparage or malign the highly adored and appraised beauties of Ebira land.

“…A Brazilian hair on an Ebira head…” Sounds to me, an allusion juxtaposing the geographies to drive home the point of what a spendthrift and profligate those “prostitutes with high tastes” he mentioned earlier are.

Just like using the “Ogàné and Omavi” contrast as an allusion to the misplacement of obeisances.
Or, for one to “Ka’eika” as the Ebira connotation of an Irony.

Of course, when we use these in the Ebira language, we do not mean the people of those places literally. They’re simply figures of speech—Symbols in the imageries.

The idea of choice of tribe to use in the innuendo was not critically thought through obviously; and sadly so for a clergyman who pastors a mix of tribes and races. But, I believe it’s more the figure of speech, than it is a ploy to cast that kind of aspersion on our worksome tribeswoman.

Every well meaning, hardworking Ebira lady and even, the men have every right to be upset by the statement. The comparison was uncalled for. Ebira ladies are not just embodiments of character, but academic pacesetters and record breakers. As at 2016, my very immediate elder sister, Maryann Ahuoiza Shaibu graduated as the overall best student from her higher institution of learning. So have several others set all time records! This doesn’t sound like an air-brained or empty-headed set to me! Therefore, making the extrapolation that he alluded to the idea that Ebira ladies lack academic adeptness, unfounded and unprovable.

So, I beg that we row our boats a bit past the aroused sentiment, to engage the semantics, and then, judge from that seat.

Disclaimer:
* This is not to hold brief for the said Apostle, but, to simply present a perspective.
* Also, this doesn’t in any way, exonerate the clergyman of his errors. He should know better to be careful not to err in words. Too much gaffs from his end in recent times I must say.

It’s on this note that I humbly plead heartily with all Ebira sons and daughters, who have aired their grievances on this matter, for the sake of God before whom our hearts and his are tabled unclad, to sheath their swords, and let this slide. We are a people of substance, virtue and character, who have invariably marked ourselves out as a dexterous, industrious illustrious and hence, invaluable assets to the nation at large! I beg that we shouldn’t be shaken or moved by invectives off the mouths of uncouth men or women. We are proudly Anebira and we are forgiving. Ebiraland continues to succeed and prosper!

Peace!

Michael Jordan’s 1984 Sneakers Sold For ₦615 Million (Pictures)

Why Michael Jordan’s Nike Air Ships with red swoosh and soles that he wore in 1984 rookie season game for the Chicago Bulls auction for record $1.5million

A pair of sneakers worn by NBA superstar Michael Jordan early in his career sold for nearly $1.5 million on Sunday, setting a record price at auction for game-worn footwear.

A pair of Michael Jordan’s earliest Nike trainers sold for $1.5million at auction
The shoes set a new record for the highest selling game-worn footwear ever
Jordan wore them in fifth ever Chicago Bulls game against the Denver Nuggets
The model of shoe was never publicly released, making them extremely rare

The white leather shoes with the red Nike swoosh and soles were worn by the iconic player in the fifth game of his rookie season with the Chicago Bulls, when Nike’s Jordan-affiliated brand was only just taking off as a sensation both on and off the court.

‘The most valuable sneakers ever offered at auction – Michael Jordan’s regular season game-worn Nike Air Ships from 1984 – have just sold at $1,472,000 in our luxury sale in Las Vegas,’ the auction house said in a statement on Twitter.

The astronomical price easily beat the record held by a pair of Nike Air Jordans which sold for $615,000 in August 2020 at a Christie’s auction

A pair of Nike Air Yeezy 1s worn by rapper Kanye West sold for $1.8 million in April, triple the previous record for sneakers – although that was a private sale.

Jordan’s autographed size-13 lace-ups were in good overall condition, with signs of court wear and tear, Sotheby’s said. The pair was a gift from the player to Tommie Tim III Lewis, who was a ball boy for the Denver Nuggets during the 1984-’85 season.

The market for rare sports shoes is soaring. The record price for sneakers has been broken several times recently as what was seen as a niche market a decade ago now attracts interest from the general public as well as leading collectors.
