2. Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the bottle?

4. Why is "abbreviated" such a long word?
Because it's the shorter form of "abbreviation" by just one letter!

Because in Naija anything can happen - and especially for some who turn in their graves when they remember
that some people are still owing them, their coffins must be nailed down!!

Because medical accidents and mistakes still happen!

11. Why is it that when you're driving and looking for an address, you turn down the volume on the radio?
Some of us don't care, because that's when we blast it full volume - incase someone in the neighbourhood shouts
out: "Baba Jimoh!" (for whatever reason).

The result speaks for itself - one who makes you broke by investing all your money deserves an oscar!
