Premium Crass or Premium Class!

By


Serial Ranter


Nigerians are the biggest victims to Yahoo Yahoo

Not the whites...

We are the biggest of all scammed.

Our government is the biggest scammer.

We were conned in 2015 and now we have been conned yet once more.

A colossal wasteland

The effect is so bad, everybody is affected

Even the institutions are affected too.

The scam runs deep it has affected and infected even common sense.

A dear friend was complaining to me about an episode she was unfortunate to experience.

She said a woman complained about something common sense could have resolved.

Yet the response of the average Nigerian who was her friend, was predictable.

''leave it to God''

Aunty was in an abusive relationship for years with an unapologetic adulterer, finally she grew sense and left the marriage.

Now, her ex totally refused to contribute to the upkeep of the child against the ruling of the court during divorce cases, and so she decided she was going to drag her hubby to social welfare.

The gospel thing to do, right?

Get this....

Her own friends were now advising her to leave it to God.

Quoting exodus 14:14...''God shall fight for you and you shall hold your peace.'' When you should be quoting Matthew 11 : 12, ''...the violence taketh it by force.''

My friend couldn't digest this religious venom anymore, she got so irritated and screamed "Really? Why stop there, you can as well leave hustling for your daily bread to God too.''

Even God is tired of our averageness. He is exhausted from our lack of vision.

He would have folded his hands and watched this woman die from maybe HIV, or get beaten to death and receive her into heaven, but she grew sense and left the marriage.

But our average minds won't be analytical when we need to, we rather be religious to save us the stress of thinking and providing solutions...which is exactly what they did.. They started preaching peace... And friend was like wha da fuck has peace got to do with this?

We would rather watch a motivational speaker talk and tell us we can, without telling us how to...why?

Luck

He got rich and successful luckily

If he indeed worked hard and smart, there will be a plan he would sell to you.

Yet he will come on air, or on the pulpit and tell you... ''Yes you can...'' Without revealing ''How you can''

Maybe he honestly doesn't know or maybe, typical Nigerian, he doesn't wanna share, so he will be the only rich one and continue lording over you simpletons.

One can never tell with the average Nigerian, especially the ones lucky enough to live above average.

We put a premium on stupidity and class on ignorance.

Premium crass or premium class...you tell me...

But las las we will be alright, let's just leave it to God.

I am not afraid of the storm Facing it alone isn't something I would lose sleep over But I want to conquer with you Set anarchy to never after Bring liberty to forever more Alone we are survivors, caging the fiercest waves Swimming the deepest seas But, hand in hand we would drown the ocean You and I, we would drink the rivers dry And spit out islands Kingdavid Chinaeke Ofunne Authorpreneur

Solomon's Lair!

By
Rated 18 Solomon's lair  I almost refused to go for the birthday party this year. Solomon always hosted a party every year, and as usual, I always gave the opening speech and acted as the MC too. I hated the drama and fake smiles all around. Each year, new faces present, old faces absent. New Friends present, Old friends lost, only me stagnant. I was always present as the best friend, the loyal soldier, meanwhile I was notoriously known for not celebrating my own birthday. It was so bad that most of my friends didn't even know my date of birth, just my age. Yes, it was that bad! It was an exhausting exercise for me. The cake and speeches, by God I hated the hypocrisy. So this year I swore to him by the old gods and new, that I wasn't gonna be in the spotlight of his special day. I just wanted to drink and chill quietly in solitude. Surprisingly, without any fuss, he obliged me. ''Obi is now a man o'' I smiled. ...

Riotous Love

By
I have always found Tony, my boyfriend, fascinating His write-ups and rants about bad governance and patriarchy got me wet and awestruck every single time I visited his timeline  Whenever he wrote a piece on Facebook and Twitter, he got thousands of likes and comments I always read every comment, especially from women who were mesmerized by his writing prowess I was once part of such women until I decided to shoot my shot, and, like cupid, I hit him straight in the heart A simple "Hello, I've read and enjoyed all your stories, maybe you could write ours someday, hope I'm not overreaching?" I had to drink almost a full bottle of bailey's to find courage for that stunt, and today, we are celebrating 8 months of the best love story ever. He was my Mr. Perfect, everything I could ever ask for and more It wasn't surprising when he asked me to join him and go for the peaceful protest here in Lagos, and like a love-struck puppy, quickly I jumped up and said yes That ...
