While coming back from work last night, I
stopped by at the gas station to get some fuel
for my generating set, on getting home, I had
to eat something, I opened the fridge and yes,
all the things in my fridge had turned to ice;
the light had been on for 12 hours without
going off. I finished eating and went to bed.
Oh I have to reduce the speed of this fan, the
voltage is so high. I woke up very early in the
morning to the sound of classical music. I
casually strolled into the bathroom. Oh! the
weather is cold this morning, i turned on the
hot-water tap. While towelling myself dry, i
turned on the radio and heard the presenter
speaking of how Nigeria is now one of the
most developed countries in the world and
how the new Nigerian president yesterday
declared his asset and all he had to boast of
was N20 million naira and a duplex in his
village while the former president donated all
his earned salaries to the less privileged.
I finished dressing up and took my time to
eat. I had no reason to rush, after all the road
is always free (No hold ups) and there are no
potholes moreover the train & trams are in
place. On the way, i saw a few policemen
patrolling and I greeted them. I stopped to
chat with them for a few minutes while and
the fire brigade and ambulance were with
siren rushing somewhere, and they told me
there was an emergency situation after which
i drove off.
In my workplace, i saw some people loitering
in the waiting room and discovered they
were here to be interviewed. I saw the son of
the senate president. I also saw a young man
with tattered shoes and patched-up trouser;
he graduated recently from one of d
government universities, but everyone could
testify to the fact that he's brilliant. While
going home that day, i saw the man with the
tattered shoes smiling and I asked him why.
"Sir, i've been given the job." "What! What of
the Senate president son, didn't his father call
beforehand? No" The man said, "He didn't"
That evening, i went out to play in the
neighborhood, i saw Adamu and Obinna
discussing the recent trend in the country, of
how Mallam Danjuma is now the governor of
Rivers state, Senator Abifarin Oluwafemi is
now the governor in Borno state, Mr Chijioke
Godffrey is now the governor of Oyo state.
Adamu even confirm that the president son
studied with him at the Air conditioned
lecture room in the same university & the
Professors were so experience in giving out
their lectures in electronic form with lots of
practical practice. Exams & marks were
conducted & awarded fairly without
preferential treatments.
Reminiscing on June 12 issue; I guess MKO
Abiola is not the MESSIAH to save Nigeria.
Hopefully YOU are the one. Looking forward
to a fulfilling & desiring Nigeria with more of
the above listed qualities.
