Why are they hiding under their beds &amp; denying him?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy have they refused to take phone calls from his wife, children &amp; family? Why don\u2019t they visit him in Kuje prison to offer a word of encouragement?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy have they stopped inviting his loved ones to their parties &amp; why have they refuse to pop into his home to check on his family?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIs that how friendship is supposed to be? Were they not all in it together? Did they not all benefit from him &amp; his profligate, disgusting &amp; repugnant treachery, perfidy, madness, evil, power-drunkeness &amp; graft?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf the truth be told they are even more shameful &amp; cowardly than he is.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey were never his true friends but rather friends of the office he manned for over 8 years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey never loved him &amp; they have now run away from him &amp; abandoned him like rats abandoning a sinking ship &amp; like the proverbial three blind mice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hope Godwin has learnt his lesson &amp; that he has come to appreciate the scripture that says \u201ccursed be he that relies on the arm of flesh\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201dI hope he now accepts the fact that all power belongs to God &amp; that the Lord alone rules in the affairs of men &amp; forges the destiny of nations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet this be a lesson to us all!
