I was on my way from Ibadan this afternoon after i spent 4hours travelling to that ancient city for my speaking session today no thanks to the road construction which is another story for another day.
On my way out of ibadan I wanted to buy fresh corn and decided to play a fast joke on the lady selling. I asked ‘I hope your corn doesn’t have Ebola’?
She looked at me a bit stunned and asked in her Ibadan dialect ‘Emi ni nje Ebola, Se oruko eniyan ni abi oruko agbado titun’? (Which one is ebola is it a person’s name of the name of a new corn)
Guess what I learnt a great lesson and that lesson has not left me ‘There is no fear of Ebola among the illiterates cos they don’t know what it is. For them life continues because they live in nature’.
Looks to me that our exposure to social media and technology is gradually becoming a curse to us than gain.
Imagine how better your life would have been without some of these BB BC’s and your smart phones? This is not for us not to take precaution but just a lesson i learnt on my way from ibadan.
Are you still afraid? Throw away your phone and join my ibadan friend to hawk Agbado cos in that world ebola doesn’t exist. lol*rotfl*

I pity you and the illiterates.
