Just as established false teachers can be sometimes right—as a broken clock can be right twice a day—even people whose motives may be wrong can appear to say the right things and fight the right battles, only to eventually achieve their suspicious motives.
Oselu can be tricky! Yes, but the people who let these thrive are those who have failed in doing the right thing, saying the right words, and having the right motives—and these kinds of people lack the credibility to point fingers at the one who, although might have the wrong motives, still says the right words and intends to do the right thing.
However, frankly, both categories can't be trusted.
Just that, the fact that one party at least does one thing right while the other fails at both, makes choosing the "lesser of two evils" appear appealing.
But most prominently, both categories fail woefully in the one, important aspect that matters—they both have no credibility when it comes to good motives.
And when it comes to choosing which is fairer between speaking the right words and having the right motives, having the right motives utterly dwarfs speaking the right words.
The person with the right motives can learn to eventually use the right words and actions, while the one with the right words and actions but without the right motives is highly deceptive.
"Worst of all, however, are those with the wrong words, wrong actions, and wrong motives—a trifecta of daunting hell and evil!"
And between the Nigerian government and the USA, we know which one of them fits this worst category!
