"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. And the stuff even made it to  Premium Times  and BBC .  So much noise about nothing, if you ask me! This is not the first time this is happening. In a previous season of BBNaija, another housemate sparked controversies for washing the undies of his love interest. A lot of internet perfectionists came out with condemnations or adulations. Others came with nothing. I call it the dying-to-be-distracted throng. The mass of...

What Difference is There Between Police and Toll Gates?

Image
It's no longer news that toll gates in Nigeria have been removed a couple of years back by OBJ's government, ostensibly to alleviate the financial hardship being imposed on the general public by the tolls. At the time, government rationalised that the removal of tolls on Federal roads will help reduce transportation cost in the country. As usual, it is one of those short-sighted Greek gifts that successive governments in the country are wont to force down the throats of ordinary folks who are not fortunate enough to be in government. 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.

Shouldn't I Deactivate My Blog And FB Accounts?

I've been bothered by this question for some time now. Adjoined to this, I also wonder: If everyone must have an FB account, must we all post comments? If your answer is yes, then must we all write in English given the rate at which misspellings and bad grammar (a lot of people spell grammer) have become the rule rather than the exception. Somebody recently posted a comment on my link (don't look for it, I have promptly deleted it) and I couldn't even read the stuff because it was too long and looked like, but one English at all. I was even tempted to post it here as an example. But I remembered that if you're not one of the culprits, if you check your own wall you will have ample evidence of this linguistic crime. Just as if the volume of English language bastardisation on FB isn't enough, I now ran into a blog that ... oh, my God, defies every logic of English language expression. I will give you a hint, I found while Googling the ABSU gang rape issue ...
