My Dearest Brother
We praise and glorify the name of
God Almighty, Creator of the Universe, the giver and taker of life, the
protector and the magnificent for His mercies and blessings to us on earth. And
we thank Him most profoundly for the gift of our lives as we enter the New Year
in His blazing glory.
I send you warm, fraternal
greetings on your hospital bed. I am short of words, but my heart pulsated in
painful strains when I heard the sad news of your unfortunate accident on a
motorbike in Abuja. A pensive mood instantly engulfed me and till this very
moment, my eyes are wet with tears.
I am a mere mortal, with no power
to question God on why He permitted this misfortune to befall you;
nevertheless, I still asked rhetorically that why you and not me? If the
mystery of life had made it possible to share your direct pains, myself and
millions of Nigerians would have borne on your behalf, the pains of the injuries
you sustained in the bike crash.
I am far away in London for
studies, or else, I would have been at your bedside, day and night to assist
nurses speedily nurture you back to good health. Those on ground have assured
us of their very best and we trust the Almighty God for your healing.
My dear Compatriot , you remain
an idol because of your almost flawless personality. Like your father and great
leader of our dear country, President Muhammadu Buhari, you are an epitome of
discipline, humility and hard work coated in humanism. Your respect for the
core values of humanity and existence are legendary and uniquely stands you out
among your peers and siblings of privileged families anywhere in the world.
We look unto your exemplary
character and conduct for emulation. We are proud of you as a source of
inspiration to countless young Nigerians. I have no hesitation to say you are a
great citizen of our beloved country, Nigeria.
I want to assure you that the
motorbike accident is just a phase in your life, and like the Holy Scriptures
say, “this too, will definitely pass away.” And you will recuperate and bounce
back on the streets to reunite with your family and friends in robust health
very soon.
Do not falter in strength, as I
personally perceive it as nectar to fulfilling your positively pregnable
destiny in the nearest future. There is no doubt that our country needs your
education for regeneration and strength of character for leadership in the
nearest future.
I, like millions of other
Nigerians are silently beseeching God Almighty in prayerful supplication for
your quickest recovery, as each day you spend on the hospital bed, is a great
loss to humanity whom your upright character is silently remoulding in homes
and palaces throughout Nigeria.
Please, permit me to end by
counseling that as soon as you are discharged from the hospital, rededicate and
redouble your efforts in the selfless service to humanity, from whose prayers,
flows the abundance of God’s blessing on your life, family and Nigerians.
While I hope to visit you soon,
may Almighty God spotlessly heal your wounds and elongate your life, and all
humanity with your temporary incapacitation, Amen! Wishing you a happy and
prosperous New Year.
Yours sincerely,
Chief Philip Agbese
