Which Way Nlng?

@Kuwena
I guess Aniffy's advice should speak volumes. There's no point racing down to the US in midsummer only to hang around doing nothing till session starts in the fall. Not forgetting that your spending starts from the moment You step onto US soil. So You just work a few more months in Nigeria.

Ideally too, bear in mind that You should resign just a few days (at most a couple of weeks) to the date of your departure. That way, You won't have to while away time and maybe get exposed to all sorts of risks prior to your eventual departure.


Doubt if there's need to comment on this, really. Just go check that "home truth" post of mine, Kuwena!


@Others
Hi ya, Guys. Hope everyone's Sunday was cool and interesting. Sequel to my earlier post on canvassing for some more patriotism, and in following Kuwena's example of asking for only sweet comments (I mean, positive statements), I'm compiling a list of negative, terrible things that "couldn't happen in Nigeria", despite how bad we're said to be. You get it? IN order words, it must be negative things that have happened elsewhere. You don't need to name the country where it happened, please. The aim of this is not to mock other countries or put down any one, but simply to appreciate the true fact that even if we cannot be grateful for what we have in Nigeria, at least we can be thankful for what we escape!

So, let me set the ball rolling: Nigeria is a place where You're sure that You won't go to bed one night and wake the next morning trapped in your house under piles of rubble resulting from an earthquake or a cyclone!

( You don't  have to limit it to natural disasters, anyway!)

Got to run now! Cheers all.

Thanks, Aniffy. Kenosky, coming home already? My, my. How time flies!

@ Alfaprime

Kenosky,

Just wondering yesterday/today, when exactly are you coming back?
I can't wait for us to get down to one of our numerous joints in Las Gidi and just chill out.
Perhaps na me go trip you now!

I've also been thinking .  .  . _{knowing that you're an ardent palmy fan}

Have you discovered any palmy joint in the UK?
I mean fresh palmy joints no be for Harrods wey them fit freeze am?
Oyibo dey drink palmy? Abi na all those their fake beers?

I also know that you enjoy isi ewu
Can I get a correct isi ewu joint in the UK? I mean the one wey im two eyes, ears and tongue complete?
Knowing that you love those things, I can understand why you're so keen to come back.

I do not blame you though.
All those Oyibo food sucks! _{including the ones I ocassionally chop in Lagos}


Abacha n'Ugba nko?
Abacha ncha? Abacha Enugu state?

One thing I like about you is that you neither forget nor pretend about your roots.

I wonder whether you do see correct ofe egusi there?
Abi na all those their sillly source?

No more Garri for you! Isi azu!

Suya spot nko?
I bet na all those their lousy Barbecue

Perhaps a good business case might be to spring up a correct Naija Restaurant there!
Where we can bring all those dishes to those in diaspora
And bill them $, British Pounds or Euro.

That's for those wey wan settle there sha!

I sign out!

I can't wait to demolish MAN UTD 2morrow.
We will seperate the Boyz from the MEN!
And we shall know who be the Boyz-2-Men!

We will know who the REAL Champions of Europe are!

UP CHELSEA!

hey guys , how work ?

Well the much awaited circus will be coming to town in about 24hrs from now.

I've got a little' poser for you guys.

Who can do a little poke into the future and tell us how 2moro's going to end up ?

As in give us the final scores and who will be the glory boy(s).

let me kick things off by saying I 'see' Manchester United winning 2 - 1 (or is it 3 - 1),

Well, Ryan Giggs or Scholesy scores then 'drog' equalises

and who else but Carlos 'hungry lion' Teves finishes it up late in the game.

Its not going to end in penalties, man u don't like that.



Actually guys, I must confess, scenes of a drab game, that will see 'the drog man'

scoring a solitary late goal in the 85th, 86th, 87th min ( who cares ) has been playin

in my mind but each time it comes i just make sure I 'bind and cast'. (e no fit happen).

Anyway, the ball is in your court, lets see once an for all, who the true 'prophet ' of

'which way' is.

The Thirty-fourth Verse: I Belong Here
 
I belong here, with you
Black American Negroes
Take me into your arms
I am your son
Hitherto I was not a nigger
I was pure African
My ancestors never tilled
The white enslavers’ farms like yours did
I had never sympathized with Roots
That long tale of Haley’s
Though I had seen Kunta whipped to Toby
And had seen the men in chain gangs
As they made their way from Mississippi                                                                              
To the cotton fields
Passing by the blocks
And through the fires of brands
Bearing the white man’s name,
I had heard your Negro Spirituals
Your voices reaching out to God
Hoping you would live to see the day                                                                                  
When you would be free to
Do what you wanted
Go where you wanted
Serve yourself and your children alone,
I had heard of Rosa ’s defiance
Seen Luther King’s fights;
I had grasped the roles of Booker and Du Bois;
I had glowed with pride at the
First generation of swarthy American leaders
Preaching a revolution that was slow but sure
I had stayed home in the motherland and seen and heard it all;
Now I reach out in person
I come to you at last
A latter-day prophet
A missionary from the ancient land
Bringing my heart and my hand
Hoping to reclaim yours in love and forgiveness.
It is true we sold you off
It was my fathers that gave you away
Though we had once been brothers
Back home in the jungles
Where we chased the monkeys and squirrels
Where we set traps to catch the antelopes
That made us envious by their leaps
We would catch a canary and run home to show mama
She would cook the bird meat in hot oil
And give us some to eat with
The hot water-yam porridge
She would make a pot of stew
Leaving some beside the stones
For papa’s return from the daily hunt
Warm and ready for his taste;
We played swell as children
Hopping over stones
Thrown on ruled spaces
In the sand
In company with one another
Joyfully
We were thrilled to be alive
Gleeful for the gainly season
We spent all our time
Catching up with the birds and rodents
Some brought down by our catapults
Others caught in our traps
Happy
We trilled and shouted
Skipped amok
To the dancing cymbals, timbrels and drums
Ululating in glorious spectacular rendition
Till the dusk stopped our further play.
It was sadness the day you left
I asked after you, but was told lies
I was told you were harried away and stolen
By solemn, severe strangers
That you would long be outcasts and scum of earth
That you had been sacrificed to certain
White gods that had come with spear noses from far away
That your lot was fixed for eternity
Lawfully sold bondmen
Who would never think
Never feel the air in their faces while
Lolling by the streams as we did back home;
I did not believe their lies
I wanted to see for myself
I missed your company
I had to visit you
That is why I have come
I have come to stay with you
To love you
Die with you;
Tell me about your oppressors
Of those white gods with spear noses
That my fathers told me about
What did they do to you
Did they bite?
Were they like the poison eke
Did they kill?
Were they like the hateful fox
That ate all our many lambs?
Did they rape our sisters?
Those virgins that made us stare lewdly as if at Aru
As their breasts tormented us and we dreamt
For it was dreaming only that helped
We longed to hear them moan and scream our names beneath us
Our shafts tearing away at what they had hidden for so long
Excited to watch the sport of torsos in the grey
Darkness of the lewdly night.
Sibling,
I am here now
Tell me everything I need to know
Do not drive me away
I am like Ruth
Teach me
Show me
Let me be like you.
