If It Were In Nigeria: (trapped Miners) by kenifeh(m): 9:56am On Oct 14, 2010
If It Were in Nigeria,
10.13.2010

Last night I dreamt that 33 Nigerian miners were trapped underground and the government decided to send a capsule down to rescue them one after the other.

When the miners knew of the rescue plan, they began to argue amongst themselves on who goes first. Zoning was suggested but they could not agree on which zone will go first. Eventually in a struggle to determine who goes first, several of them got injured and MEND issued a threat message warning that they would set off a bomb if any South-south miner was critically injured.

Meanwhile, the FEC had awarded the capsule contract to JB and we are still awaiting delivery three months later. There is a probe going on to unravel this and retrieve the award sum before we get to the issue of what formula to adopt for the rescue and which miner comes out first.
In the mean time, traditional rulers from the miners' towns are paying solidarity visits to the president to thank him for his efforts to rescue the miners.

And the first lady had just invited the wives of the Nigerian miners to Abuja for dinner at the Hilton! The first ladies from the 36 states will also be in attendance. All including the wives of the miners will wear the Goodluck for President ankara.
CNN reported early this morning that after 10 months underground all the 33 Nigerian miners have died and the Nigerian government has declared seven days of mourning during which the Nigerian flag will be flown at half mast to honour the dead.
Meanwhile, JB has sued the FGN for the balance of the contract sum.

If the trapped Chileans were Nigerians, nothing else would have killed them but their shout of EFCC, ICPC, GEJ, IBB, OBJ, INEC, they would probably have killed each other with arguments about which tribe is better, which tribe rules Nigeria better.

For 69 days, what will you have imagined if there were 4 Hausas, 4 Ibos, 4 Yorubas, 4 Efik, 4 Fulanis, 4 Edo people, and 4 4 4 of others? They would have ganged against themselves inside the trap, form organisations, criticise themselves, slap each other with arguments, and lo, they would have been dead in 10 days with arguments.

If they were Nigerians.
