I saw a post about Bola Ahmed Tinubu recently.
Some people were cursing him.
Others were praising him.
But one comment hit me…
The person said: “With the money this man has made, even in his next life, he can never be poor.”
And it got me thinking…
What if our definition of good wasnt this man’s path to success?
What if this is actually how the world works?
What if the reason I admire Peter Obi is that he operates within my definition of good?
And what if the reason people like Mc Oluomo and Tinubu have come this far is that they operate within a completely different definition of good, bad, and evil?
So who is right?
Or better question…
Who defines what is right?
Religion tried to give us structure.
It gave us language for good, evil, morality, and empathy.
I once heard someone define sin to me like this:
“Anything you do or say, and instantly feel bad about… that is your spirit telling you I am not with you on this.”
Compared to the Bible which defines it as:
Sin is anything that goes against God’s will… even your thoughts and intentions.
Now think about this…
Some people kill every day.
Some people do things we call “demonic.”
And we judge them instantly.
But what if…
They don’t even see it as wrong?
What if, in their world, it is normal?
Who is the moral authority?
I have spent the last hours thinking & writing about this.
Countries go to war… kill thousands… then thank God for victory.
But the same Bible says “Thou shalt not kill.”
So whose God are they praying to?
Even education… There are billionaires today who never went to school or dropped out of school, yet they are on top of the food chain because they just learned and understood the simple basics.
On the other hand, some people followed school, did everything right… and still struggle.
So is success really tied to education?
Or just to the rules of the game you choose to play?
Life starts to look different when you see this…
We are not all playing the same game.
We are playing different games… with different rules… under different definitions of “good.”
Maybe that is why… someone you see as a devil… is someone else’s answered prayer.
Buhari was a disaster to me, but some people miss him… because their world made sense under him.
So maybe the real question is not…
“Who is good or bad?”
Maybe the real question is…
“What game are you playing… and who defined your rules?”
People always ask:
“Why do good people die early?”
What if they just chose a game where goodness is not the winning strategy?
What if they were playing a different game entirely and the world doesn’t reward goodness but rewards alignment with its rules?
Is that why we see politicians today working with people they once criticized? Because they got to understand the dynamics of the game better, while we on the other side choose to understand with emotions?
The world is not fully understood… so we use emotions to fill the gaps where understanding is missing. And that is a problem too.
