The lion is a large cat of the genus Panthera, native to Africa and India. It has a muscular, broad-chested body; short, rounded head; round ears; and a hairy tuft at the end of its tail. A lion’s pride consists of a few adult males, related females, and cubs. It is mostly referred to as the “King of the Jungle” due to its ruthless lifestyle toward other animals and the fact that it can chase at a maximum speed of 80 km/h.
Former Lands Minister Daniel Omara, also the head of Otengoro Olang Clan in the Lango ethnic group, shared a brief tale on Thursday where he narrated the life of a lion when it’s still young and when it’s elderly.
The former Minister Atubo, a renowned critic of the NRM regime since he was dropped from Cabinet in 2011, used this analogy to deliver a message of good governance, democracy, and how to promote and live an acceptable rule of law for all when they are still in government.
Below is an extract of his tale, which he shared earlier on various social media forums.
No matter how long it lives, the Greatest Lion will eventually die miserably. That’s the world.
At their Peak, they rule, chase other animals, catch, devour, gulp and leave their crumbs for hyenas. But age comes fast.
The old Lion can’t hunt, can’t kill or defend itself. It roams and roars until it runs out of luck. It will be cornered by the hyenas, nibbled at and eaten alive by them. They won’t even let it die before it is dismembered.
Life is short. Power is ephemeral. Physical beauty is short-lived, I have seen it in lions. I have seen it in old people. Everyone who lives long enough will become weak and very vulnerable at some point.
Therefore, let us be humble. Help the sick, the weak, the vulnerable and most importantly never forget that we will leave the stage one day.
Jah (God) Bless those who want to overstay in power should learn from this fantastic lesson of real life. All human beings must die. So why live a false life by abusing other human beings. Where are killer iddi amin and team?
