A little boy, who wanted N1000.00 very badly, prayed for
two weeks but nothing happened. Then he decided to
write GOD a letter requesting N1000.00. When the postal
authorities received the letter to GOD, NIGERIA., they
decided to send it to the President. The President was
so impressed, touched, and amused that he instructed
his secretary to send the boy N500.00. Mr. President
thought that this would appear to be a lot of money to
the little boy. The little boy was delighted with the
N500.00 and immediately sat down to write a thank you
note to GOD that read:- Dear God, Thank You very much
for sending me the money. However, i noticed that for
some reason you had to send it through Abuja, and, as
usual, those devil's took half of it.

Three contractors were touring the Aso Rock on the
same day. One was from Kaduna, another from Onitsha,
and the third from Ibadan. At the end of the tour, the
Minister asked them what they did for a living. when
they each replied that they were contractors, the
Minister said, hey we need one of the perimeter fences
redone. Why don't you guys take a look at it and give
me your bids. First, the Kaduna contractor took out his
tape measure and pencil, did some measuring and said,
i figure the job will run about N900,000 -- N400, 000 for
materials, N400, 000 for my work men, and N100, 000
profit for me. Next was the Onitsha contractor. He also
took out his tape measure and pencil, did some quick
calculations and said, looks like i can do this job for
N700, 000 -- N300, 000 for materials, N300, 000 for my
work men, and N100, 000 profit for me. Finally, the
Minister asks the Ibadan contractor for his bid. Without
batting an eye, the contractor says, N20,700,000. The
Minister, incredulous, looks at him and says, you didn't
even measure like the other guys. How did you come up
with such a high figure? Easy, says the contractor from
Ibadan, N10,350,000 for me, N10,350,000 for you, and
we hire the guy from Kaduna.
