Sam you are a good person but...
ReplyDeleteYou are walking a razor thin wire by painting yourself as a pious Tewahedo follower but actively seeking political office in the future. Do understand that both don't mix.
Additionally, I want to add its evident that you have been blessed. Your smart, knowledgable and driven. However, trumpting yourself as "President this..., Chairmen that...and future Prime Minster this" shows your gassin' your ego in the process of growing EGI.
If you want to be a career politician then great. However, don't do it under the guise of being some "devout Orthodox follower."
Best of luck nonetheless.
