MC Oluomo preaches vanity in coronavirus lockdown

Chairman of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) in Lagos, Musiliu Akinsanya, popularly known MC Oluomo, has bared his mind on the lockdown in parts of the country caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

In a post on Instagram on Wednesday, the union leader said the disease known as COVID-19 has taught that life is vain.

“At this period of trials our cars are just parked there, no where to go to. The private jets are lying in waste, air spaces are all shut, every country nursing its citizens and fighting an unseen tiny enemy,” he wrote.

“Each man is confined to a room in those big mansions and the designers; clothes, bags, shoes, perfumes and make-up kits have all become useless and serving no purpose.

“No more urgent appointments and business meetings that deprive us of time with God and family.

“No parties to attend and hangouts to meet up with friends, no more convoys and sirens, even the money stocked away in the accounts and soak always are useless… Even our expansive and expensive mosque and church auditoriums are empty, it is now each man with his God in truth and in spirit.”

The NURTW boss added that at this moment, all that concerns everyone is food and air to breathe to stay alive.

“This world has never been vanity as it is today!” he wrote.

NEW MONTH MOTIVATION Emptiness and Vanity! At this period of trials Our cars are just parked there, no where to go to. The private jets are lying in waste, air spaces are all shut, every country nursing its citizens and fighting an unseen tiny enemy. Each man is confined to a room in those big mansions and the designers; clothes, bags, shoes, perfumes and make-up kits have all become useless and serving no purpose. No more urgent appointments and business meetings that deprive us of time with God and family. No parties to attend and hangouts to meet up with friends, no more convoys and sirens, even the money stocked away in the accounts and soak aways are useless… Even our expansive and expensive mosque and church auditoriums are empty, it is now each man with his God in truth and in spirit. All we need today is food and air to breathe, we just want to be alive. Nothing else is really important. This world has never been vanity as it is today! Good news is; we all have one more chance to introspect, to reflect and ask yourself why does God need to keep me alive through this? To party or buy new cars or perhaps finish my doctorate degree or build my mansion? What is my purpose in life now and after Covid-19? Why does God need to spare me and allow others die? Of what value am I to humanity and to God and His kingdom that should make God to spare me? No one has the right to make you happy or sad. Try not to tie your happiness to anyone; it’s your responsibility. This month shall favour everyone as we raise our hands up for the blessing of the almighty Allah, I wish you a new month filled with unreserved happiness. God help us all. Amen. #Happynewmonth #stayhome #staysafe

He said it was a time to ‘introspect and reflect’ on one’s purpose in life after COVID-19.

“Of what value am I to humanity and to God and His kingdom that should make God to spare me?

“No one has the right to make you happy or sad. Try not to tie your happiness to anyone; it’s your responsibility,” MC Oluomo said.
