Nnamdi Kalu A Specie Of Uncommon Courage

By Dr jarlat Uche opara

Like a star he shines. Like a moon he brightens, like a sun he radiates and like a lion he roars fearlessly with the oratory so uncommon, one can’t but listen with deference.

He is human with weakness but his carriage and confidence often place one on a cross road if indeed he is human or a god in incarnation. Resolute, fearless, courageous, confident with the cerebral depth that is stunningly exceptional.

I don’t know what beats this drum for him. I am at loss what his intelligence source is. It beats me where he gets his strength, hope and unwavering faith. It seems extraordinary, breaks down walls of human limitations, giving him a scale up , so tempting, not idolizing him becomes one so intricate.

If he dies now, I would thump my chest on how many that would turn him into an object of worship. That is how revered and loved he is among his followers.

Give it to him, he is a rare gem. His bouquet of flowers, so reddish with an unusual fragrance. He lives in the hearts of some many, with an undying loyalty and reverence. A personality cult he has built around himself. His Incarceration today, his death tomorrow would the more fuel the very course for which he is being held.

It is course that is beyond him. A course that runs in the blood, a course that runs in DNA, a course many have seen as a religion, a lifestyle that must be lived even in the den of lion.

Hate him, castigate him, malign him, cast aspersions on him, plot against him, one cannot but question and admire where his inspiration comes from, very unusual with depth that is beyond humanity.

Let justice be done and be seen to be done. Let fairness and equity be the measure. Let laws be used to either nail him or free him. But using kangaroo method to dim the star and opaque the dazzles of this sun, its ripple effects, the end no one knows.
