@ChinuaAchebe30 That is the Twitter handle of Chinua Achebe whilst alive and he had 422 followers, ONLY!!!

The moment he died, he started trending. Things Fall Apart too trended.There were several threads up running about his famous quotes and loved books.

Where were these media junkies when the man was alive?

Maybe we should bottle sycophancy and turn it into an exportable commodity. We will sell, wella.

It so seemed that a certain King must appease kingmakers in the land if he must continue to rule the land. It had been the turn of his clan among the 3clans far flung among the kingdom and as is the tradition; he must relinquish the throne for the other Prince nested across the river.

This he knew as the honorable thing to do and was willing to do . But somehow, he felt pulled by a part of his past that he felt the gods had not meant he must reign for just a meager 4year term. You see, he came from a lineage that had never worn the crown before. His forbears never knew what a horse was much less own one. Forsooth, he never wore a pair of shoes all his growing days.

As the scripts of the gods, besmirched in foreign liquor will play out, he assumed the throne fortuitously and ill-ready: the Lord of a vassal state had committed an abomination in the land and was vacated out of office. He stepped in.

The gods from no where descended among men and sniffed one white powdery stuff and of all days decided to re-write the script of the land on their ill-advised visit. By the time the nation woke from a general slumber: the gods have the power to make even the sun sleep, our King had been made Supreme Lord of the Land.

The deepest stuporous sleep still wears out. Our brothers from across the land where the cows graze roused up from theirs and were going to burn the kingdom for they claim it was their turn to rule as the agreement written among men had declared. Blame the gods for the funny stuffs they have been sniffing lately and not the shoeless King.

Well, what is four years in the life of a kingdom reasoned the royal House that had reign over the land. ``This man is but the son of a fisherman, from their rivers flows the liquid that pays for our luxuries. Let him have a taste of the throne for a while. He is a frail man at heart, he will not betray us``. With this thinking JKing reigned un-peacefully for there existed a certain ilk of the Royal house which never wanted the frolicking fisherman’s son.

kutchs:
This post sounds just as silly as the owner‘s name.
Why not get the whole details before rushing to post silly as usual, it‘s so annoying what hatred for anything Jonathan has turned some of you to.

Clear your febrile mind before you spew rubbish at me for airing my displeasure about an issue pertaining to GEJ, your benefactor.

GEJ announced this project though it be in the works for a long while. He said those words knowing other members of ECOWAS are seriously non-committal because they hardly have the means and also because they know it is largely Nigeria that stands to profit from the project, before the benefits trickle down. Forget the ADBs and WB, without the counterpart local funding, it remains in the doldrums.

That is even beside the point, why did he not announce the project in formal gathering of ECOWAS Heads of States where it will be seen to be a collective decision and not the whims of a fisherman high on palmie at a self glorifying occasion?
Was it not the same palmie that made him dole out $1m poverty alleviation fund just to bring a certain Beyonce to visit his State as Governor? That man has lost it. He does not have the pedigree of a leader, Nigerian leader at that!
And it seems he must outdo himself, he shelled another #3b of taxpayers money to Nollywood as if that is the most tendentious of our collective national need now…….shior

Bring in all your 40 computers and abuse us for all you care……we have learnt (NOT TO GIVE A DAMN). Spew all your invectives, dish all your venoms, they count for naught because your GEJ has expired.

Look back into his tenure and tell me 3promises fulfilled….yet, the promises keep rolling out by the day.

There are surprise ahead of you guys. Enough is enough. Even PDP knows that now.

Looks like GEJ is ready to make any avowal at the sight of anything pleasant regardless of cost, practicalnes, and reality.
That convoy ride across the streets of Abidjan and the honors certainly touched the right cord in the `I PROMISE` membrane of his brain.
I am surprised he didn't promise them free education and automatic employment at all levels in Abidjan

thanks for your mercies, Lord.
great is your faithfulness.

femi, i think you are doing Dantiki a disservice with this post.
you may have hyped your abilities to clear high end cars, but what is the sense in declaring their price tag on an open forum like this?
the invoice value you have is for your consumption alone and not for the world...confidentiality it is caled in proper documents.
Did you know how much he had claimed from the buyer? this NL is a national library, in fact, Nigeria,s response to Google. should the buyer stroll in here and see the price will he feel good about the seller,s margin?
:
aside, at what value was Duty paid? we all know govt officials troll NL, should one of them come here and see this value, will you pay the difference of your compromised duty? think about the next man who intends clearing like vehicle, how easy have you made life for him?
please, advertise your skills and services but be mindful of common good.
i love the machine though.....cheers.

Language is dynamic. It moves with time, fad, usage and application in numbers. Of all languages, English language, especially the American version of it is the most adaptable. Of the most potent drivers of language shift technology and population rank tops.
lots of the words we use today never existed in the English lexicon Someone thought it through to either COIN, ASSIMILATE or CORRUPT them. Therefore, a little open mindedness will certainly not be out of place in understanding why certain people use certain words on certain occasions.
It gets to me when people make you feel uneducated because you the word JEEP to designate the type of car you drive or admire. They often than not cite Brand rights as reasons why such vehicles cannot be so called.
While we may as a people have failings in our application of registers, for once and again, we are spot on this and i have no apologies. I drive a jeep. What do you drive?
let us frolic around for a while.

Go to Facebook, type the word `facebook`. It comes with a highlighted warning, informing you that you have entered a wrong word.

Well, today, facebook is a valid English word. It is indeed a VERB.

Remember the advert, DON,T JUST SEND IT, DHL IT? DHL is not a valid word but FEDEX is now allowed as a valid English word. Same as FOREX, BIRO and many more
Jeep is now generic and it so applied. Yes,, it was a Brand, yes it may have been patented but world-scale application of the world has turned it generic.
Relating to or descriptive of an entire group or class; general is what is generic. But, for practical reasons, the automobile industry has to be specific to vehicle build to avoid ambiguity and also patent infringement.

But, hey, here in Nigeria, we no send them. 150million of us cannot be wrong, always,

So, teacher, where did you park your jeep?

By what name do you call them?

Why should i or any Nigerian care about all these thieving leeches? When all they do is suck the blood of the people they are supposed to govern, why should anyone grieve over their losses?

The circle of alienation is coming full swing. Soon, they will feel the contaminated venom of the people. Until then, let them continue to reap misfortunes. they don,t care about us, why should we care about them.

The doofus in ArsseHole Rock even said we Nigerians are the cause of accidents and all myriads of problems in the country. His petroleum minister echoed the same sentiments that Nigerians are responsible for petrol Scarcity.

Very well, one day, one day, the proverbial monkey will stroll to the market. He will not walk back home.

I don,t have any problem with people calling those cars SUVs, CUVs, 4x4.
call them what you wish but stop making all Nigerians ignorami just because of one incomplete knowledge. A dead clock is still accurate, at least, twice a day.
By the way, who say i be prof.

Hey folks, can you stop celebrating ignorance no matter how blissful it pretends to be?
JEEP is not only a brand name, it is a generic name.
It is a valid English word listed in Collins, Chambers, Michael West dictionaries of the English world. It is also a valid Scrabble word and in Scrabble, we do not play Brand names.
Wait for it, JEEP is also a full fledged verb.
Stop jeeping about in half education, please.

``sheer bravado and braggadocio. He is just being highfalutin``
``impish and contumelious``
``are equal is chimeric and quixotic.``

Thanks so very much, Serendipity.
School has been very rewarding today

Did you guys notice that it took airport security 20minutes to get to remedy the situation. 20 whole bunkum minutes.
That mass volume of time is enough to land a distressed flight, disembark the passengers, put off fires and address a press conference .
20minutes to a dying man needing help is eternity.

On Toyin Street Ikeja, a petrol station is nested right under a 2storeyed building that is fully residential and inhabited.
Dunno how I can sleep in a house where PMS is dispensed right under my sleepy bum.

We certainly do not take safety issues seriously. Our faith in the intervening presence of God more than compensates for our carelessness.
So, we are at ease taking safety issues for granted, even at petrol filling stations.
But, none beats me more than this.

I was at a fuel dispensing station in Festac, MRS to be specific, on Sunday when a man who had just fueled up opened the hood of his car as the attendant was dispensing to a jerrycan carrier.
The next thing we saw was the man dashed into the front seat, brought out another battery, removed the one in the RUNNING ENGINE and replaced it with the one he had just brought out.
WOW!!!
I screamed at the man and it was only then that the supervisor came out and said: ``there is no problem, Oga`.

What about a petrol station that has a resident vulcanizer in it. As he worked on one tire one evening, a sudden gust of wind came and blew his Unclad fire straight at the dispensing machine. Thankfully that evening there was not one drop of petrol sold in the whole of city as the scarcity of the product was chronic. Now, i imagine if it was a full work day.

share yours please and let`s learn.

So what that he, s 73 and lived in nigeria.......looks like you dont have aged elders in your family..... Get rich young or die has killed all of them

Idetest leading. I hate being lead.
But, my opinion is sought before major decisions are made in organizations I belong to.

Are Borno and Yobe coming?
We are interested in their offering at the competition..maybe perhaps, bombing is a medal winning game now

@Siena Truly amazing story. while i cant relate to that experience, i can at least say this: `your Dad was a good man and you a better son.
His violent disposition may have diminished his greatness, your good upbringing multiplied his worth, erased his failings and elevated his patriarchy forever.
he lives in you.
Now, i respect you more than ever before
