AN ACCOUNT OF OUR LOCAL GOVERNMENT ELECTION

Chief Harrington Kingsley, my favourite candidate lost to a less colourful politician Mr. Joseph Oluchi in a manner which showed that politics is all about intrigue. All along Chief Kingsley has been known as the man of the people. He has along trail of experiences in politicking and governance to back up his candidacy. He is an accomplished account-ant with outstanding achievements to show for it.

I can still not believe that Chief Kingsley lost the last local government election to Mr. Oluchi. The campaign was the last in the series of campaigns that preceded the election where the contestants had to address the electorate and answer questions from the press. Going by the public rating of the two contestants before the last campaign, the people's opinion poll favoured Chief Kingsley as everybody had tipped him to be the winner of the election.

The venue of the last campaign was inundated with posters of the two contestants. The women's wings of the two parties outdid each other in dancing and in songs. The two contestants were carried shoulder high by their respective supporters who engaged themselves in wild dancing as they were shouting their slogans. Chief Kingsley's charisma and string of achievements attracted a large number of supporters to him.

Soon after this, the contestants were asked to take their seats on the rostrum in preparation for the question and answer session of the campaign. Chief Kingsley initially showed his brilliance in answering questions, put across to him for the first few hours of the interview. Then. it was time for a journalist who supported Chief Kingsley s opponent to ask questions. His question as to whether Chief Kingsley would probe the last administration threw off the chief. Chief Kingsley's answer that he would probe the last administration because it was an open secret that it was corrupt, gave his opponent the leeway to plan an intrigue. Chief Kingsley's open declaration of his intention was indeed a mistake because it made it possible for his opponents to convince even his supporters not to support him again.

I believe that Chief Kingsley lost his election because of this unguided utterance as politicians don't like to be probed. As a result of this, they ganged up against him and he lost to a less popular Mr. Oluchi who was ready to compromise.

Correct Answer: B) he must digest what is inside the scroll before communicating it to others

Explanation

The question is asking about the significance of the eating of the scroll by the prophet Ezekiel. The options are: Option A, that the prophet liked eating scrolls; Option B, that he must digest what is inside the scroll before communicating it to others (which is correct); Option C, that the content of the scroll should be hidden from the people; and Option D, that every prophet should eat scrolls for physical nourishment.

The act of eating the scroll by the prophet Ezekiel was symbolic and had a deeper meaning. It was not just about him liking to eat scrolls or for physical nourishment. Option B is the correct option because the act of eating the scroll signified that he needed to digest and internalize the message before he could effectively communicate it to others. This means that he needed to fully understand the message before he could share it with others.

In the Bible, the scroll contained prophecies of judgment against Israel and other nations. By eating the scroll, Ezekiel was showing his willingness to accept the message and to proclaim it to others. The act also symbolized the intimacy and unity between the prophet and God. It was a way of demonstrating his complete obedience to God's will.

It is important to understand that the Bible uses many symbolic actions and images to communicate deeper spiritual truths. The eating of the scroll by Ezekiel is one such example. To learn more about this, please read the relevant sections of the recommended textbooks.
