Which?

Someone once rightly said, 'I was crying I have no shoes until I saw someone without legs.' Which will you rather have: shoes or legs? Affluence or good health? Most beautiful bride or peace in the home?

"My Husband washes my Undies"

My country is indeed an interesting place! I read with consternation as a couple of women reportedly emerged on social media to announce to the world what their spouses do and whatnots. I believe the whole noise came off one of the events on the ongoing BBNaija show where one of the contestants reportedly washed the pants of his love interest. And the dying-to-be-distracted throng of Nigerian youths started another session of tantrum throwing on the internet over whether Neo (so is his name) should have or have not washed Vee's (I hope am correct) panties.

Two days ago, I was forced to wonder again whether toll gates have actually been removed in Nigeria or whether the duty of toll collection has been transferred to the police.

Who A Terrorist Really Is

Who is a terrorist? The one who spreads fear And doles out terror like poisoned cakes. The one who wants to live But others must die in the process. The one who feels that his opinion is superior to others' The one who hides his relatives away from the calamity he engenders. Who is a terrorist? The friend who maligns you at your absence and comes to sup with your family. The friend whose heart is closed to you when you hold him in a warm embrace. The friend that will readily join others to murder your reputation. The friend who is always in an unnecessary self-imposed competition with you. Who is a terrorist? The ruler that sacrifices his subjects in order to perpetuate himself in power. The ruler who feels that he knows what his people want best. The ruler who will not sacrifice his personal comfort for the general good. The ruler who will not succumb to popular uprising until thousands of innocent lives have been wasted. The leader who knows the truth but prefers ...
