Tinubu: the audacity of a prophet

It was Samuel Sutherland in his book “why revival tarry” who posited that pastors make the Pulpit famous, while prophets make the prison famous. This is essentially a truism as regards prophets of old because of their penchant for the truth, no matter whose horse is gored, anti-status quo and anti-establishment stances over a sin infested religious and their political leadership of Israel.
