Today, I am possessed
by the spirit of exposure. Without let or hindrance, resistance or disputation,
I surrender to the service of my fatherland to expose, perhaps in the process,
educate the foolish and enrich the wise, nothing more. While exposing, I didn’t
consult the Ifa oracle or Delphic oracle, both Yoruba and Greek prognostic
divination essences famed for revelation.

Exposure, that act of revealing the unknown, invades my conscious mind. It goes beyond the paralyzing mental hypnosis suffered by victims of religious ecstasy. I am fully aware and awake, with no hallucination, reverie, or phantasmal anecdote. I have no choice in the matter, therefore I must expose. Exposure is different from prophecy, the alter ego of prediction. While exposure reveals what exists but is not known, prophecy reveals what does not exist, therefore not known. Today, I am not predicting anything. Every presidential aspirant must be exposed, nothing hidden. No guesswork. No half-truths.
