As Nigeria Clocks 53 Tomorrow: Why You Should Celebrate

As Nigeria clocks 53 tomorrow...
Some might ask: "what is there to celebrate about Nigeria?"
And my answer would always be: "A LOT!"

 Tomorrow is not about the filthy, corrupt and greedy Nigerians in governance
It is not about the filthy, corrupt and greedy Nigerians in both the private and public sectors...
It is not about the fact that millions of Naira would be spent in celebration by these corrupt people and their cronies as they "mark our independence"... 
It is not about Boko Haram as is existent in the North...
It is not about the Kidnappers as we have in the South-east and west...
It is not about the Terrorists as we have in the South-south...
It is not about the Nigerian Clergy who have become a scourge on their own...
It is not about the various systems, structures and infrastructure in Nigeria which only exist and not function...
It is not even about the good Nigerians who, if really existent, might change the country for the better...

 Tomorrow is about NIGERIA and the founding fathers who fought for her independence...   
It is about a NIGERIA that still yields oil despite all the degradations...
It is about a NIGERIA that remains fertile despite all the desecrations...
It is about a NIGERIA that remains rich despite all the looting and deprivations...
It is about a NIGERIA that remains  my fatherland...your fatherland!

 So, come tomorrow,...
For ten seconds or more if you can afford to...
Find a quiet corner...
Forget all the troubles, the katakata, the wahala, the yawa, the gwogwotigwo...
Lift up something...your hands, a cup - whether filled with wine, water or empty...
And toast to NIGERIA...

 Tell her to keep strong...
Tell her to overlook our excesses...
Tell her to bear with us even though we have failed her and continue to do so...
Tell her that we shall overcome; that it shall get better...
Make her an unconditional promise; promise her something that you would start doing differently to her benefit...
Then ask God to bless her.

 Nigeria is different from Nigerians; where the latter have failed, the former has stood the test of time and for that I celebrate, so should you.

Kai! The Oracle Is Interested In The Female Backside!!

On a recent outing with the Chief Priest, I was surprised to see loads of bare boobs and front-and-back cleavages flying around everywhere... I also noticed young ladies putting on very tight pairs of rubber-like trousers which showed every tiny detail of their lower anatomy and served no other purpose than change the complexion of their limbs and butts. Kai! Oracle you too see ooo "If you gat it, flaunt it"...If you have a big breasts, which are meant for convenient breast feeding; chiputa ha! Display them to the public! If you were blessed with a big pad behind, which is meant for more comfortable long periods of sitting...show the public. But Oracle, these are what men like... Chief Priest, shut up now lest I deal with you!  I'm sorry, Great One... How many of those semi-naked ladies would you proudly take home to your mother? How many would you bring to this Shrine? Most men lust for them and the word 'like' should...

The Biafra of My Dreams (Revisited)

  On the 30th of May 1967, the late Lieutenant-Colonel Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu declared the Republic of Biafra as a secessionist state from Nigeria. This sparked off the Nigerian civil war that lasted from the 7th of July 1967 until January 1970. Fortunately or unfortunately, at the end of the war, Biafra was not to be. It is no news that Nigeria, as it is, was born out of the selfish desires of the British for easier control of their interests across the different regions of the country with oil being the most important, and as it were the Nigerian Government was backed militarily by the British in their quest to retain the oil-rich Biafran region. The truth is that if Nigeria had no oil, or if the bulk of the oil was found elsewhere but the southern region, or if the southern region had made Shell/BP a better deal than they had with Nigeria, Biafra would have been in existence today. The agitation for Biafra in Ojukwu’s time was mainly as a result of the massacre of Easterner...

The Vision About A Wolf Leading A Herd Of Elephants

If this isn't a vision; then I wonder what is! It happened suddenly just as I was eating my Eba and Egusi soup...I felt a gentle breeze hit my entire being...and in some form of levitation; I left my house with a ball of Eba still in my palm! Kai! The travails of being a Chief Priest...I just hope this doesn't happen on a lovely night with my wife. In about 5 minutes I was soaring, without wings, held by an invisible hand, above a large expanse of land filled with different groups of animals; each group with its own ilk; everything seemed at peace. Suddenly there was commotion...On looking closely; I discovered that a herd of elephants were at the heart of the unrest. I became interested in finding out the root cause of it all. It was then I noticed that the 'outgoing' leader of the herd wanted to crown a 'Wolf' his successor against the will and culture of the elephants. There was a lot of agitation, and this drew the attention of other animal grou...
