Ekem, the Myth, The Rising Star and the Prophecy of our Time

  “The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”

With everything now in place, Nigeria's electoral history is about giving us yet another new record, as King Ekemini Austine Mbeh defiles all odds and permutations to emerge as the candidate of Nigeria’s oldest federal constituency and number one city in the ongoing electoral contest that would elect new leaders in each category of the country’s political leadership and democracy.

A budding, young and dynamic vibrant star who had to brace himself after losing his father, a political colossus in 2016 at almost his pre-teen age could have given up, and signed off of life goals and pursuit, but eight years after, like a thunder bold shooting out from its prime, Ekem is now the dream, stepping into the shoe of his father, though now a lager shoe than his father left to the consternation of everyone.

In the seemingly difficult to comprehend mystery behind his rise and the history accomplished, many have tried shooting down the star to prevent it from rising and shining. They now describe his confidence and rise as arrogance, pride, and all sorts of hate-induced criticism, jealousy, envy, and the display of some of their family witchcraft trademarks. While they are still trying to unmasked the mystery by denying it reality, I have a warning to these people that can't come to terms with the unfolding of the age but stays criticizing, “Woe betide the man or woman who tries to stand in the way of God’s act at its appointed time!”,

The myth of Ekemini Mbeh’s rising is its invincibility. Ekem is invisible like John Ceener of the world wide wrestling entertainment, the more you look, the less you see. “The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”Ekem will keep rising and shining to the perfect day. we should all be proud of and identify with this new historical event of our time as people. Most people can't understand the unfolding of this time and Ekem’s place in history, in trying to discredit what they don't just grasp, they conclude that he is arrogant, proud, he is this and that, HOW?

Excuse me, are you his father, how much of Ekem do you know? Ekem was just a young lad blossoming from his parental protection and the custody of his father before death scored a devastating goal against him, a life knock that can make many his age lose completely the contour of life. Since then, the courageous, brave, and onward-looking lad has been in the fiercest battle of keeping up with the durable legacy of his late father, Late Bar. Austine Udoh Mbeh, and you are here churning out reasons untenable just to find loopholes. what do you know about Ekem?

Ekem is the dream, the rising star, the storm in evil men's tea cup.

Ekem is the myth, the rising star, and the prophecy of our time.
