Nigeria as its hot.

These are Interesting times to be a Nigerian. Really Interesting times. A time when whistle blowing is fast becoming the order of the day. For the second year running, our budget gets reportedly stolen/missing/lost but then, unlike the other time, the police is to blame. The Head of the Senate committee on appropriation said Police took the budget along with some Cash notes from his house. I thought it was EFCC who had permission to carry out such raids?  I never knew he was allowed to work from home also. Speaking of home, Our President has decided to take his position one step ahead of others. He decided to work from home.  If given the opportunity, I am sure many of you will want to work from home too. It’s not like you have the issues of Nigeria to deal with by the way, why cant you?  I would have found this alright if his excellency has actually had a stressful year, or his office was like Sango ota  and he had to go to Ajah everyday, the it is permissible to do so sometimes, considering the stress of the traffic. When Office and home are in the same locality, then this becomes worrisome, especially as we have not had access to him addressing us in recent times and also remember that he only just got back from an extended leave for treatment in the abroad.

The abroad brings us to the story of our very own Anthony Oluwafemi Joshua who knocked out Wladimir Klitschko at Wembley over the weekend. The eagerly anticipated bout lived up to it’s billing and lasted 11 rounds, but when AJ landed a devastating combo, after a jaw closing uppercut, there was  one clear winner. To those who are claiming that Nigerians like famzing, please allow us. We have to claim our own, especially when they are like AJ who identifies with Nigeria totally. In an interview, he even gave the ‘secrets’ to his success so far to be Nigerian meals.

Speaking of meals, our Minister of Mis-information – Lai ‘Iscariot’ Mohammed recently, when asked by Richard Quest, whom I was not sure meant business at that point which Jollof was better, actually opted for Senegal. Imagine Senegal, winning a match between, Nigeria and Ghana. Their juju (wo)man is actually really strong. Sound like all those miracles that happen when you get  a job you are not qualified for, and did not even apply to.

Prof Yemi Osinbajo was brilliant once again, at the latest edition of The Platform. Peter Obi was also unique but please tell him to stop frying burnt dodo with hot zobo. How will he say he used one watch for over 17 years. I get, he might not be a watch person, but naaa, that’s too much juice too much sauce. Just like many politicians, it’s easier to say things when they are not in the corridors power anymore.

I sometimes think about Kogi people, and I wonder the kind of sins their ancestors might have committed for them to deserve some of the things they are getting- these are the kind of things that keep me up at night. Their Governor came out to say that They are not owing any worker 15 months allowance, only 12 months. It’s funny when you think that this is the state the “Ajekun Iya’ crooner is also from, but sad when you can and cannot imagine the reality of the lives of those affected. A year salary – I wonder what NLC is doing about this and many of such other cases. We only hear of NLC when there is increase in pump price of petrol.

Why on earth is DSTV increasing prices for subscription? Our Price control mechanism here has given them a chance to exploit us so much that they feel they can do and undo without much consequences. Glo has also increased the cost of data bundles, without any significant increase in the quality. Watch them lose the market that they dominate to their other competitors.

In unrelated news, St Totteringhams day has been cancelled till further notice. Chelsea move closer to the title, while Arsenal strays further away from the light. The best team in the EPL over the past 2 seasons will not win the Trophy.   The bad boy, Mario Balotelli also kept his good record in France going, to move Monaco closer to the title.

Banky and Susu

So Banky W and Adesua – decided to break the Internet together. They announced their engagement and social media went agog. They carried their #WeddingParty Romance to the real world. They now have free pre-wedding shoots, they have sampled how their wedding would be in real life. The only thing now is that they should just get married at the Stadium, so majority of us can be guests. Just put Aso Ebi at designated stores, we’d buy. Wishing them a blissful union.

Till the next one. Please keep your ears on the ground, but do not allow anyone step on it…
