TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE

My friend called me that they scammed her of $750 last Monday.

After listening to the story of how they scammed her, I realized it was the same syndicate that scammed me in 2019 that scammed her last Monday.

As a Nigerian, I consider it a disgrace to be scammed—after all, I belong to a country that is notorious for always winning the Olympic gold medal in the 419 game.

THE DOG WITH TWO EARS

Ijapa (Mr. Tortoise) went and bought Aja (the Dog) in the market.

Ijapa took Aja home.

The following day, Ijapa put Aja on a leash, and told Aja, “Let’s go out.”

Aja was surprised that he was put on a leash.

He had never been put on a leash before.

Aja asked Ijapa, “Where are we going?”

Ijapa answered, “To the market.”

Sháyó Philosophy

Yesterday we met again to see if they had hot pepper soup at the local African joint.

Logically, when these simple folks enter a pepper soup joint, it is like Ṣẹ̀lẹ́ enter spirit: matters get philosophically historical like magicadabra.

“We are in October again,” I said, just because the bottle of stout looked chilled.

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!!!!

We went to celebrate the Independence Day of Nigeria at a local bar where they sell Nigerian food, beer and hot Isi Ewu pepper soup.

We ordered swallow food.

After that we ordered drinks.

Please learn from our mistakes.

Do not drink more than one bottle of beer.

We all laughed and chatted heartily after drinking one bottle of small stout and Isi Ewu pepper soup.

METAMODERN VISION OF TOLA WEWE.

I am joyful today that I gave birth to a new baby.

As a writer, I am always very happy to see my new book in print.

A book is like a child: it takes a lot of work to raise a child.

But the credit for raising a child doesn’t belong to the parents only: the community also supports the parents as they raise the child from infancy to adulthood.
