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
