It's so unreal, I have been eyeing this Irish potatoes one kain since I got it 2 days ago.

So, I needed a small quantity not for cooking.

I asked for the price of a paint bowl, the Mallam said it's #4000, half for #2000, I asked for #500 worth, Baba said he just pitied me by picking 5 rondorondo potatoes and packaged for me.

I then decided to buy #1000 worth, see what I got.

I didn't know it had gotten to this, is this how it is everywhere? Where can one get this in a large quantity with reasonable price in Lagos or surrounding states like Ogun etc. ??

About Mermaids

So saying, he began to show me some of the curiosities of the laboratory,
which contained many strange things.


Of some of those I had read in books on alchemy; others were entirely new to me. At last we came to a closed shrine, and my curiosity led me to ask what it contained.


"Oh!" answered the monk, "this shrine contains some powders for fumigations, by the aid of which a man may see the Elemental Spirits of
Nature."


"Indeed!" I exclaimed. "Oh, how I should like to see these lovely spirits! I have read a great deal about them in the books of Paracelsus; but I never
had an opportunity of seeing them."


"They are not all of them lovely," said the monk.

"The Elementals of earth have human forms.
They are small, but they have the power to elongate their bodies. These gnomes and pigmies are usually ill-humoured and cross; and it is just as well to leave them alone, although sometimes they become very good friends of man, and may even show him hidden treasures and mines.


The Elementals of air, the sylvans, are of a more agreeable nature; still we cannot rely upon their friendship.


The salamanders, living in the element of fire, are ugly customers, and it is better to have nothing to do with them.

But the nymphs and undines(water spirit) are lovely creatures, and they often associate with man."






"I wish I could see those beautiful water-sprites," I said; "but I am inclined to believe that they belong to the realm of the fable.


For many years, accounts given by seafaring men spoke of mermen and mermaids, which they insisted on having seen at a distance.


They said that those people were like human
beings, of whom the upper part resembled a man or a woman, while the lower part of their body was a fish.


They told great stories about their beauty, their waving hair, and how finely they could sing; and they called them sirens, because it was said they could sing so well that men who heard their voices would become oblivious of everything else but their songs.


At last, such a siren was caught; and it proved to be nothing else than a curious fish of the species called Halicore catacca, which at a distance may be mistaken for a man, on account of its colour, and which barks somewhat like a dog.

Perhaps those undines and nymphs are also nothing but fishes."




"This is a most erroneous opinion, my dear sir," answered the monk. "The halicore is a fish; but the nymphs and undines are Elemental spirits of
nature, living in the element of water, being, under ordinary circumstances, invisible to man, and not being able therefore to be caught in this manner.




'They are almost like human beings, but far more ethereal and beautiful; and under certain circumstances they may be seen by man.


They may even attain a permanent material form and remain on land; and a case is even known in
which a certain Count Stauffenberg married such a nymph on account of her beauty and lived with her for more than a year, until some stupid theologian frightened him by telling him that his wife was a devil.


The count at that time had fallen in love with some good-looking peasant-girl, and so the
interference of the preacher was welcome, and he took this as a pretext to drive his true wife away.


But she revenged herself; and on the third day after his second marriage the count was found dead in his bed. These nymphs are very beautiful. They are strong in love, and are constant; but they are also said to be very jealous."



The more the monk spoke about the water-nymphs, the stronger grew my desire to see them. I asked him to put me in communication with those beautiful spirits; but he made all sorts of excuses, which, however, only served still more strongly to excite my curiosity.




"We are living here in this sinful world, and ought not to meddle with the inhabitants of another.
We are all sinners and liable to succumb to
temptations.


These water-nymphs are continually seeking to be united with men, and they have good reason for it, because they have no immortal souls.


Becoming united with man they form a link with his soul, and thus partake of his immortality."

"Why, then," I exclaimed, "do you hesitate to conjure these beings? I would only be too happy to convey the gift of immortality to one of these beautiful spirits.

Moreover, I would consider this as an act of charity and duty, and if such a nymph should insist upon marrying me, I can see no reason why I should object if she were amiable.

Besides, it would be quite an extraordinary thing to have a water-nymph for a wife."


"They are not only very amiable," said the monk, "but they are also very obedient to their husbands.

Such a water-nymph has no will of her own; she
regards her husband as her saviour and god, never contradicts or scolds him, but is always ready to obey his commands, fulfil his wishes, and gratify his desires.



She is very modest in her demands, needs no luxuries, and requires nothing except occasionally a short excursion to the seashore, which will cause you no expense whatever, because she has her own method of travelling."



I could restrain myself no longer, and earnestly begged the monk to make a fumigation with the mysterious powder.

At last, he consented.

What is this stupidity about accumulating wealth all about This is why Nigeria will never work.

Tinubu has accumulated wealth..
Obi has accumulated wealth
Shettima has accumulated wealth
Go to clubs in lagos and Abuja, you will see guys and girls that have accumulated wealth..

How does this benefit thr average Nigerian?

Have you seen Obalende and Ikoyi?
