The Myth Called Father Bernard

THE MYTH CALLED BROTHER BERNARD Brother Bernard is just a name but a name that has saturated fame, notoriety in Nigeria and it's the same that evokes comical blunders. Hope Bernard isn't one of your brothers. Man dreams of a trip to Peru, had a dream he was eating his shoe, then woke up at night after a mouth-full, as the call of "Brother Bernard" sails through He finds out his dream had come true. Yet, they say "Brother Bernard" is just a name. Oh okay! Any dissimilar notion is just lame! It's becoming a myth though just a name. Brother Bernard is like a whistle in a game. There's unanimity that everybody has a name; Some are short, some are long. Dick is a short name but can be strong, Virginia is name-modified known agelong and can never be ignored or go wrong. If there's a name that has attained realms of societal ridicule & is carelessly profaned, then it's the mythical phrase "Brother Bernard". No jury or advocate will annul "this" case. Does the name create an unseen force? Our people have caved their superstitions, greatly influenced by Social Mediacians. Some say "Brother Bernard is just a name"! Methinks, that and other names ain't the same! Though the meme didn't mellow, what a shame! A fellow opined it is more than a name. The empirical enquire the memes aim: And entreat the source of your mythical claim"? But...I pledge to relish in this euphoria, my lord, bask in the blunders of the madness galore, to seize the comical moments with my bare hand. Revel in the emphatic mention of "Brother Bernard"!
