Egede Lawrence examines media true talk for the wise in politics of strong advantage for Ebonyi people, particularly the northern part of the state ahead of the 2023 polls.
The truth says that if you can't help yourselves and be united to fight one course together at home, it means losing the fight for another abroad to win you.
The truth also says that if you are not united because of the differences of choice, you can't force a horse to drink the water flowing through the time stream.
Differences have no choice but can preferably exist for a better purpose, that people should be united to amend their divisions in daylight and also at nightfall.
It is better to unite firmly both in daylight and at night so that there is no doubt about how to be strong against the adversary called "Division amongst many.
A very firm discipline demands knocking hard on the head, but also wants to open the palm to avoid suspicion of having a stone object, to prove t meaning of no intent to harm.
That's the work I do early in the daylight and avoid lateness at nightfall, to prove e same without suspicion that I mean nobody harm in telling the truth.
When there is daylight we say the light is coming, but some are not conscious of how the light beams brightly for them to see.
But as soon as the blackness of night comes, the awareness that the light beams no more is compulsorily observed, so that people will become conscious of the nightfall. We should now listen because nightfall is dark.
We should listen now while it is still daylight because e time will come when the blackness and darkness of nightfall will come.
Jesus Christ told his audience in the biblical book of ST. John chapter 9 verse 4, "I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh when no man can work."
So many people don't read the bible and work with it, so many people don't know parables as to work with it, so many cannot understand idioms and adages as to work wisely, many others don't read proverbs to be alerted, and in missing them all they lack knowledge and fail in exams. We must be conscious.
Therefore, we should always be conscious of both the daylight and the nightfall, so that being late to bed at nightfall closings sleep won't occur. But to go to bed early and rise early at dawn or daytime will not elude us. We should listen very carefully now.
I have discovered that the truth in Parables, the wisdom in the Proverbs and, the knowledge in the Idioms and Adages expressed in my writeups, at times irritate those that don't understand me.
The truth favours many men and women, who understand that it is not always easy to avoid the truth and go Scot-free from it.
The truth favours both foes and friends alike, who understand that it is not easy to avoid the truth and go scot-free from it.
The truth still tells us that in unity we stand and in division, we fall like packs of cards.
Any group of people in uniting daylight and divided at nightfall is in trouble of falling apart like packs of cards in the end time.
Politics is a subject of unity that brings people together initially, but when a centimetre can't hold things fall in pain in the end. This is a solid truth.
The politics of who will take what amongst many brothers and sisters now gathering some people together and in patches, but at the same time scattering the same people in the long run as 2023 is near.
So, Ebonyi North must be early to unite now and be strong to take their right of position in the political seat of power in 2023.
They can't be serving many masters at the same time, without falling apart at last.
We are talking together within ourselves at home and also in diverse places, as to which of the political parties to vote for, in the Guber race come 2023 in Ebonyi State. Let's be together.
In the pa, st we have oftentimes obeyed the laws of unity under the PDP umbrella with the rules governing the chatter of equity.
But now, as the new tide has changed to APC, it is better to unite, sweep away any doubt about APC, be strong together, pursue one goal and succeed at last still under the chatter of equity. No need for divisions.
If you are united waging a war for victory to be achieved and the t end even if you fail, at least you have failed to dare greatly.
This is true advice and also a big suggestion for those who are now directly concerned.
Let them be awake to have an edge over all the doubts about which way to follow for victory. Unity is strength.
APC as a mega party must be up and doing to treat people amicably now, not at nightfall.
I am saying these things just as Governor David Umahi, under whose love I have my joy of him being kind and harmless to everyone.
To God is the glory forever.
