Subject: [Jos Commandos] IBB & Alams visit to the late Pope



 
 
Unknown to most people, as Pope John Paul II (may the soul of the Holy Father 
rest
in peace) was dying; he sent a message to Babangida and Alamieyeseigha (one
Christian and one Muslim) to come to his home in the Vatican.  They were
very surprised at this unexpected invitation, but they quickly packed their
bags and baggage and set off for the Vatican cityvia Rome.  When they arrived, 
theywere ushered up to his bedroom.  As they entered the room, the clergyman 
held
out his hands and motioned to them to sit on each side of the bed.  When
they did the Pontiff grasped their hands, sighed contentedly, smiled and
stared at the ceiling.

For some time, no one said anything. Both Babangida and Alamieyeseigha were
touched and flattered that the old Pope would ask them to be with him
during his final moment.  Babangida being a Muslim was even more flattered
that the Holy Father would invite someone of another faith to be with him at 
such
critical hour.  They were also puzzled because the Pope had never given any
indication that he particularly liked either one of them.  Finally,
Babangida, weary of the silence, asked, "Fader, for what did you husk de
two of huss to come here?"  The old Pope mustered up some strength, raised
his head slightly to get a good look at the two Nigerians and then said
weakly,

"Jesus died between two thieves, and that's how I want to go".
