I thought MAY was just a month....

Our maid had a fight with her neighbour and the police got involved in the francas. I spent most of yesterday and early today trying to post bail for her and her brother. To say the least it was hectic but informative. The Nigerian police force seem only to listen to the first complainant and do not bother with any investigation even with evidence staring right in their face.

What got me amused though was when we got to negotiating bail. The lady IPO insisted on N8000 and we wanted to pay N4000. So we called another police officer to plead with her. She agreed to take less and told the other officer..'tell them to make it may' We all look at each other in confusion until we figured it out...may is the fifth month...so she means she would take 5k....hilarious..make it may! police code....hehehehe

E Don Tay!

I cannot believe it is almost three months since I last updated my blog! Being home again and waiting for something to happen by the way of a job has understandably distracted me.
A lot have happened though in the last weeks most worrying is the spates of bombings in the country. Boko Haram must cease and desist... Lord have mercy!
On a lighter note...the tragedy of the Baba Suwe 'shit' scandal has kept the country enthralled and created fodder for comedy. Yahoonews probably took the best caption award when the styled the saga like this
"Nigerian actor freed after 25 bowel movements" Hilarious this might have been but it does brings out the underlying weakness in our justice system where a person can be detained for over 25 days with no justifiable proof of a crime.
God have mercy!
