Eleganza Heaven
on Earth Estate: Who get that kind money?
My
fellow Obodians, how dey go dey, I hope say una dey kampe? I don hear another one o, I
hear am for Lagos say Eleganza Group of Companies don open their new Estate for Ikoyi
area. My people, no be kind place wey people like us fit dey live o. Last week I hear wey
some people dey talk am say the Manager for the place talk say he go cost between $35,000
and $50,000 per year if you want rent the place. My people, no be say I make mistake for
the money own o, na the thing wey dem put for paper be that. Dem talk am say the cheapest
for the place na $35,000 American Dollars. This one no be mistake, I no dey talk about
Trinidad and Tobago Dollar. Canadian Dollar nko, no be am. And wetin dem dey call that
Country for South America wey dem talk say dem want change their money to Dollar? He be
like say na Venezuela or Argentina, but any way sa, no
be that kind Dollar. I dey talk about the money for Gods own Country, the US of A.
Na the kind dollar dem talk be that. Na him be say if to say na soso Naira you get under
your mat for village, make you no appear with your Ghana must go bag because, dem go
disgrace you. That one na joke, dem dey take local Money.
My people jokes apart, no be say I dey
talk say the company no fit put any price wey wey him like for his Estate. And I no talk
say make people wey get that kind money no buy am, but the thing be say, na our people dey
talk say make person look him backyard before he do things. If you take that kind money go
Mallam Place for Keyside for Lagos Island go change am, I no think say you go fit carry
that kind money for hand by yourself. I dey talk 4.5 million Naira per year for the place.
My fellow Obodians, this na the cheapest o. If you dey talk about the $50,000 own that one
go cost you 6.5 Million Naira. Osanobua! Seh seh seh my brother, na person wey rich go die
well o. Which kind Barawos go pay that kind money for rent if him no dey do one kind 419?
My people even for Lagos own, that money go build better bungalow for Ikeja area, I no dey
talk about Mushin or Ajegunle o, I mean better place for this our Eko Akete. And if to say
na my village you carry am go, na him be say you don become Kingsmaker be that. Kia kia
our Igwe/Emir/Oba go make you him Royal advisor. This poku money for rent ?, I want know
the kind Ole dem wey go put that kind money down just like that for rent, when no be say
craze dey craze am. My people he be like say una no hear me o, we dey talk about our Lagos
Nigeria o, the place wey United Nations talk say 60% of our people dey live below poverty,
and a place wey na soso oyinbo pass me down we dey wear and use. This na country wey 90%
of him University Graduates no get work and just dey waka about o. The obodo wey dey
call Giant of Africa and plenty of him road na dead traps and the thing wey dem dey call
Middle Class na history as the country don become either you dey rich yanfuyanfu or you
and the Rats wey dey for Okokokomaiko church we no sabi person wey poor pass.
I sabi say plenty of our Leaders and
Olowo dem dey follow America own but the thing be say for Gods own Country, dem get
the kind economy wey fit support that kind thing. Plenty of dem people especially Middle
Class fit afford plenty thing wey our rich people dey take do yanga for Lagos and Abuja.
New York City wey our Leaders dem dey follow follow, plenty people wey dey pay that kind
money for Manhattan na Millionaires for Dollars no be our own Naira o. From the
thing wey my brother tell me, plenty people wey fit spend that kind money no be
politicians but businessmen and women wey their financial portfolio full pass shit wey dey
for Oyingbo area. So my people the thing wey I dey talk be say before we start dey build
Plush and choice Flats as our Wannabes dey call am, make we make sure say plenty of our
people go fit afford am.
We dey talk say crime dey, na this kind
thing dey make some people turn to Armed Robber and Pen Robbers as plenty of our so call
Leaders be. If we dey talk about Corruption and say we want commot am for our Obodo, he go
good if plenty of our Super Millionaires go look themselves for mirror and change the
person wey dey see first. Na him be say plenty of the thing na dem dey cause am. Where all
these people wey dey build all these Plush houses want make our people find that kind
money? And which kind expertrate dem think say fit afford am? I know say my body never
reach Obodo Oyinbo border before but from the thing wey I dey hear and see for CNN, all
these Dimplomats no fit afford that kind rent unless dem dey do one kind wayo for Embassy
wey their government no sabi. These people na the same civil servant we get for our Obodo,
their government no dey pay dem that kind money for salary. And make dem no tell me say na
all these so call Technicians wey we dey call Expertrate for Nigeria go dey live for that
kind place because these people for their country, dem no fit dey pay almost $4000
American Dollars for rent unless dem be Drug Dealers. Money no dey easy like that, make
dem no deceive us. Na all of us sabi say majority of our People wey dey for Oyinbo Country
no get that kind money especially since dem go pay rent and mortgage for their Domain. And
the people wey I know say go do anything to live for the place na our own Barawos wey we
dey call Governors, Senators, Congress and the rest of their Ogbologbo Onyeochi dem. We no
say plenty of dem no be say dem get factory for Agbara or Aba wey dey make money for dem.
Na this our so call oil money na him dem go take rent the place. And plenty of dem na
their young Concubines wey dem fit born na him dem go put for the place.
My people na this kind thing I hope say our
Press go write for their papers o. Any politicians wey we hear say he get flat for the
place, he no need say make wey probe am or say make wey create panels wey dem go bribe,
this na Bar Beach straight tarara, make he go face firing squad for the place. I no want
hear tory, this na our money. No person wey get sense go go spend that kind money for Flat
when you know say if you times four times na big mansion be that for VGC area. My people
na here I go stop o, na beg I dey beg the estate owners say he go good make dem be part of
our solution no be part of the problem. Nigeria na awa country, make we treat
am well.

Lagos Lawyers Nawa For Una O
My fellow Obodians how now, I
hope this life dey treat una better? I know say plenty of una don hear the hilahilo way
happen for Lagos Court last week between Former Chief Security Officer during Abacha
regime, Major Hamza Al-Mustapha the man wey dem talk say he dey among people wey want kill
Chief Alex Ibru for Lagos along with him lawyer and one Judge, Justice Ade Alabi.
According to my
source, them talk am say na the Judge first start the thing. I hear the lawyer for the
accused person talk say we want change something for the case and the Judge come talk am
say he no go gree. As them dey argue back and forth, na him I hear say the Judge talk say
the Lawyer dey behave like he be Hooligan. Na him be say he dey behave like all these
"Area boys" wey we dey see for Lagos. The lawyer come ask the Judge say se na
him he dey call hooligan, the Judge come say yes. So when the man hear that, he come tell
Judge say him go withdraw as Lawyer for the Accused because him no think say he go fit
continue with Judge wey no respect am. I hear say the Lawyer too na SAN o, na him be say
him no be suegbe (mumu) lawyer. When Al Mustapha hear that he come tell the Judge say him
no fit respect am as he dey call his lawyer Hooligan. I hear say the Judge say him no
care. Na him Mustapha come let the Judge hear am. He talk say the Judge na yeye and he dey
bias agaist am and his Lawyer because dem no be Yoruba. He come ask the Judge say if to
say him Lawyer na Yoruba, se he go fit call am Hooligan? My people I hear say Al Mustapha
and him lawyer dey vex gan o. He tell the Judge say him get proof say he the man don take
bribe from people wey no want make he go free. Dem talk say the Judge ask am make he sit
down and the man say no. To cut my tory short the case no fit continue that day o.
But the thing wey make me
vex small for the thing be how plenty Lagos Lawyers especially my Yoruba people own dey
attack the lawyer wey be Ibo. Dem talk say dem go ask make Lagos state Justice Office
punish the lawyer for the thing. My people I no sabi this one o, how many lawyers go take
that kind abuse for court? All these Lagos Lawyers wey dey attack the man, I fit bet una
my life say if to na dem the Judge call hooligan, I no think say dem go like am and na
wrestling the thing go turn to. Dem fit talk say make dem remove the Judge patapata. Make
una no get me wrong o, I no like the way wey Al Mustapha dem behave for the court, if fit
be true say the man and his lawyer want take cunny cunny dabaru the case as dem dey ask
say make dem postpone the thing, but I no think say the thing deserve wey Judge go dey
call the lawyer Hooligan. Which kind language be that wey person wey we call Judge go dey
do name calling for court. The only problem wey I get with the lawyer be say he for tell
his Client make he meshonu (shutup) because na the Judge court dem dey and you no fit dey
talk to a Judge like that. But my people, the Judge behaviour for court that dey, dey
small to reach o (O Ku die ka to). As Oyinbo people dey talk am that kind talk no belong
for court. If to say na me be the Lawyer, na salt I go take wash the Judge mouth for am. I
hope say the people wey go look into the matter go dey fair for the thing. We no fit look
the other side because one Judge na our friend or from our tribe. No be the lawyer talk
say we dey equal under Lawyer, which kind tribal stuff dem want put for the thing? Na
everybody no say the accused dey guilty for the trial but since wey no dey there when the
thing happen, he go good make we let the people wey dey in charge for the thing do their
work. As for the case, I hope the Judge go remove himself because his behaviour for court
that day means say he no go fit dey objective. Even self, I hear say Former Chief of Army
Staff, Lt. Gen. Ishaya Bamaiyi too talk say the Judge dey ask for money for back. Na him
be say the Judge no fit judge the thing well since dem don accuse am say he want take
money. The man don let the accussed get to him as he forget his cool. But that one no be
excuse, we no fit dey put emotion for court matter. As for Mustapha, he be like say the
man still think say na Abacha regime na him dey wey. The man dey pompous and arrogant and
he no get respect for anybody. How he go tell a Judge for that matter say him and the
Judge no dey for the same class, nawa for our soldier o. For that, make dem add to his
sentence if dem find am guilty of the main case. But I still think say make dem just give
the case to another Judge, we all know say no matter who dem put, the people na baba nla
criminals and dem go find dem guilty for the crime.
Na here I go stop my people,
make una tak am jeje o.

Who dey Make our Sharia Law Self?
Doh my people, how una dey?
I hope una dey cope with all these hilahilo wey dey happen for our Obodo Nigeria. Wetin
dey happen with my people for North wey be say na one fight after another we dey hear
every week? He be like this Sharia thing dey done dey make everybody kolo o. I guess he
get as he be for some of us wey dey leave for North. As people no get the kind freedom wey
dem get before dem just dey take am on their Neigbhours.
No be yesterday I hear again
say there was a fight between my people wey be Cattle rearers some Farmers. Dem talk say
na about 9 people lose their life because of some yeye reason wey I no sabi. I beg make
all these Panels and committee wey our Government dey create left and right no come tell
us say na because of some Malu wey wander into the farmer land o na him make people dey
kill. That one go dey low, he go belike say people value Malu life pass their fellow
humanbeing. I guess our Leaders dem wey think say Sharia go settle all the ills wey dey
for our society now sabi say na only when people get better work and food for table na him
dem go think about Religion and Peace for our motherland. All these foreign religion no
fit solve am. Na beg I dey beg my fellow country people make dem take am easy o.
Since we dey talk about
Sharia self, wetin I dey hear for Sokoto State wey dem talk say one yeye Sharia Judge
sentence a small girl for death because she comit adultery with one man wey dey marry.
Before I go even talk about the thing, how person wey dey single go comit adultery. I no
say I no be lawyer o and my knowledge for School own na Standard Six he end, but one thing
wey I sabi be say the na fornication dem dey call the kind thing wey she do, she no fit
commit Adultery since she dey single. Make I turn back to the court case, where dem dey
get all these Sharia Judges self? He be like say plenty of dem no sabi law, I hope no be
some week Sharia Course wey dem learn for Saudi na him dem want dey take dey judge us for
our Obodo? The thing wey I no sabi be say which time he become crime say person sleep with
another person wey no be him wife or husband? Plenty of all these our yeye Governors wey
introduce the thing, how many of dem get one wife? Dem no fit tell me say say the first
day wey dem meet their wives na that the same day na him dem marry dem? How many fit tell
us for Television say him no have sex with the women dem before he marry dem? Another
thing be say, how many of dem want put their hands for Koran say since dem marry their
wives dem no touch another woman or even self since dem introduce the so call Religion
Law, how many want talk say him never sleep with another woman beside him wives? I don
talk am before this Sharia law no only people like me wey poor and no get money go surfer
am. Person wey come from rich family and the ones wey get people for high places no dey
pay the thing any mind as na poor people law. Since dem talk say the woman go die, why the
thing no apply to the person wey sleep with am? I be the girl sleep by herself? I hear dem
talk say the yeye Judge no dey hard on the man wey give the girl belle. Who the callous
Judge want make he take care the Pikin wey the girl go born? Na wa for our Sharia Judge o,
the person wey actually commit the crime go go free why the poor innocent girl go die
because she sleep with marry man. No be say dem talk say "he takes two to
tango", wetin make the Judge believe say no be by force the man take give the girl
Belle as the thing common for our Obodo especially for Village? No be say I support death
o, as he be say dem go kill the girl true true, he go good make Human Rights Groups too
take the man go court for the same crime for another state as our Sharia Judges for Sokoto
don dey kolo. Dem don turn Sharia Law upside down. Where our Federal Government dey for
this? Make una no tell me say that our Araoke Attorney General Ige no sabi him left from
right o? Why we need dem self if dem no fit defend innocent girl wey be citizen of our
Obodo Nigeria. Abi this great force wey dey behind Sharia don make our Federal Government
too tremble and dey too afraid to even talk about the thing? If our so call Attorney
General no sabi our Constitution make he ask the people wey sabi am well well. I no say
Federal Government get power pass State Courts and our Uncle Legba the President too get
power if him too along with the yeye Advisers wey just dey chop our money for nothing go
read their law book. The reason why we get advisors for Nigeria I no sabi self since
plenty of dem no sabi their work. My people no be secret say I no like this dubious Sharia
law wey our desperate politicians want take surpress us as dem no fit do the thing wey dem
dey do when Khaki Boys dem dey for power. The thing be say na only poor people the thing
affect and plus the so call Sharia Judges na joke and dem no sabi their yansh from their
back. Se una hear about another Sharia Judge wey sentence one man for murder, and him come
talk say the knife wey the man take kill the victim na the say knife dem go take kill am.
Where the man get his own law I no sabi, when we no be cow wey dem dey slaughter for
Abattoir for Lagos. How dem go take kill the man with knife, se dem go dumbu am abi na
wetin? My people he get as he be. These people make me sick. I go dey tak to una now, make
una dey do jeje o.

The Havoc Wey Our Leaders
Dem Dey Cause
How una dey my people, I hope
say una dey kampe? I know say he don tay wey una hear from me. As una see we don get new
look for this our Virtual Booklet wey we call Online Commentary. Na our Oga patapata talk
say his money don come make we change the website around. Poku still plenty inside the
soup o, the man wan do the thing small small. I beg make I no bore una with our company
tory as I know say plenty of una go talk say no be that one una go chop.
My fellow Obodians wetin una think about this security palava wey be say the thing no gree
comot our minds. Everywhere you go, na soso Armed Robber talk you go dey hear. I no fit
remember the last time wey I close my two eyes when I dey sleep for house. As the yeye
Barawos dem no dey separate poor soul like me from those Pen Robbers wey dey their mansion
dey chop our money. But truth truth if we look am well well, I no think say our Leaders
dem dey serious about the thing as plenty of dem get money wey dem go fit take buy
security. And as for these our Politicians from the President down to Council Chairman wey
dey for my Mama Village, na so so talk dem just dem talk as the thing no too dey affect
dem. Na everytime we dey hear say dem go hire plenty people for Police and come give dem
weapons and equipment wey dem go take fight crime.
But my people I no think say that one go fit solve am especially if our Leaders dem no
change the way wey dem dey take run our Police Force.
My people make I break the thing down for una small, how many people una think say we get
for Police Force and how many Politicians we get for the country? I know say the number go
dey close but if una add our Leaders dem family, the number dem go fit fill a whole Lagos
State.
All this ngbati ngbati wey these our Leaders dem dey talk say because our Police no get
weapon na the reason wey dey make crime rise be that. Even if we give our Police plenty
Weapons that one no go solve am as plenty of those weapons go end up for Robbers Hands.
Unless our Oga Politicians dem look their backyard first, na Otubante (waste of time and
energy) the thing go turn to.
My people if una look the number of our Force wey dey follow our Politicians dem from our
Excellency Uncle Sege down to our Honourable Council Man/Woman, that one self fit cover a
whole Lagos and some states. And una know say the people get plenty family no be small, we
dey talk about our First Lady and their pikin dem. And make we no forget say plenty
Council Chairmen/Chairwomen get concubines for corner wey Police dey provide security. And
I know say plenty of their friends wey dey live for Obodo Oyinbo too go get Police Escort
when dem visit home. So my fellow Obodians, which account we go come right this one o? I
no dey talk about one Police man per person o, una know say people like our Governors dem
dey get battalion wey dey follow dem and their Dogs. The thing be say as Police Academy
dey graduate people na so our Leaders dem dey assign dem for their own selfish reason. Na
only for our Obodo you go see Oga Messeger for Governor Office dey get Escort. My brother
talk say for America dem, Senator no dey get escort unless he be Senate Leader or Speaker
of the House. All the other ones na only dem dey waka about or make their aide follow dem
but no be go house o.
But for our Beloved Nigeria, even Politician Dogs get Escort and our Leaders dey talk say
Police no too plenty. My people if dem fit comot all those goones wey dey do follow follow
behind dem and their family, crime go reduce no be small. This our country we no too dey
use our God given Talent for better thing. This kind attitude don dey around for long time
and the thing no dey fetch us anything but trouble and destruction. Plenty of our Leaders
no be say dem no get sense but GREED and EGO don chop their common sense finish and dem
just dey waka like Dead people wey him brain don die pafuka
As I want stop here, if our Leaders continue this their AS USUAL business, our Obodo go
continue dey get problem from every corner of our beloved country. I hope dem go look at
the mirror first and change their way of live.
OGA POLITICIANS, TAKE A BITE AT CRIME BY RELEASING YOUR ESCORT TO THE COMMMUNITY.
November.02.2001
Wetin Una Do For
Us Lately Oga Politicians?
How una dey my fellow
Obodians, I hope say una dey kampe? My people I no know for una but me I don tire for
these yeye Politicians wey we call our Leaders. As dem no do the thing wey go help move
our country forward, I no sabi why we dey pay dem in the first place. No be last year I
talk say I no fit see the thing wey dem do wey I go talk say improve the Lives of us wey
be Commoners. As this year want end so, I still no sabi the thing wey dem don do for us o.
But na everytime we dey hear say dem spend our money for something wey no fit put food for
our table.
For example, this our so
call Pan Africanism me I no support am now especially when our country dey go down hill.
No be say I no like my fellow Africans wey dey for our Continent but as people for my
village dey talk am, "if fire dey born us and dey born our pikin if we want save
ourselves and the poor pikin, we go first quench the fire wey dey born us before we go
comot the one wey dey born our Pikin". Na him be say if you dey drown you must first
save yourself before you go fit save another person. Everytime you turn around una go hear
say our President dey help some people for other African countries. Another time una go
hear say the man dey give free oil to our Neighbours for Niger and Chad. The thing wey I
want tell our Big Belle Leaders be say he no mean say because dem family get plenty food
eat and plenty money to blow na him be say the rest of us wey be Nigerians no dey go sleep
hungry for night. I know say plenty of dem no be say dem born dem with silver spoon for
mouth, I hope dem remember say plenty Nigerians dey, wey dey die for hunger as dem no get
money feed their family. As the thing be so, I no sabi the progress wey that our Minister
for Information dey cry about o. If to say na those two or three caterpillars wey the
Government buy for one or two villages for few states na him the man dey call dividend for
Democracy make he go check his head for Aro Abeokuta. I go even talk say if the man want
hear truth, make he come to our area for Malu Road, he go know say that their cry for
democracy dividend na propaganda wey no help us but just dem and their WOBIA FRIENDS AND
CRONIES.
My people these our leaders
dem no get heart o, una notice say for the past one month na that their yeye Electoral
Bill we dey hear for Radio, Television and Newspapers as if to say the world want come to
an end. I no kuku sabi the thing wey dem dey force about? Se dem think say we Mekunus care
whether some councillors stay for three our four years. Or make some Governors dem allow
other people take their posts as dem don serve as Govenors two times already. As my
brother for America dey talk- WHO CARES? Se as crime plenty so wey we no fit sleep with
both our eyes close for night or wey plenty children don die because of hunger, or the one
about plenty of our youths wey don become men and women of underworld as the degree wey
dem get don because useless since dem no fit find work with am, or what about our girls
dem wey dey sell their body because dem no fit find work do and dem no want turn to Armed
Robbers? Nawa o my fellow Obodians, which time wey our so call Leaders dem go put the kind
energy wey dem dey put for this their yeye Bill for Project wey go fit solve plenty of
those problems wey I talk just now? As for now I not think say we care whether one person
be Governor or make another person be deputy, the thing wey dey burn us for under dey
serious pass who our next leader go be. Sebi na person wey don belle full go dey worry
about that. I beg my people, make we start dey pray and ask our God /Allah say which time
HE go bring LEADERS wey go put our country and the people wey dey live for am first before
their Bank account for Switzerland? Na only God/Allah fit solve this one for us o, and I
hope say we go dey alive to witness am.
Na here I go stop, make una
take am easy o. Please LOVE YOUR NEIGBOURS AS YOU LOVE YOURSELF.
October.31.2001
Liers Plenty For Aso Rock
How dey go dey go my fellow countrymen and Women? I don hear
another one o. Dem talk say our President Uncle Sege and his Military Leaders dem talk say
the thing wey dem talk say happen for Plateau State na lie. Dem talk say no be so the
thing happen. When the thing don become embarrasment for dem, na him dem come change their
tory. Last Week when President dey talk to our Press him talk say the Soldier wey dey
involve for the thing dey defend themselves against the people wey dey atack dem.Weting
una expect from an ex-Soldier. Na everybody know say our own Military no get honours. All
of dem na Ogbologbo for Lies.
My people this na
our President o. The person wey be say for our Constitution dem talk say make he defend us
esepecially the ones wey dey unarmed. This na the man wey dey in charge of our Country o.
The man wey no fit defend small pikin dem and their mama wey those yeye Drug smoker
hoodlums wey call themselves Soldiers yamutu. I still no fit believe the thing o. How
person go shoot Women and small pikin and our President go turn around and talk say the
soldier dey defend themselves. The question wey our So Call Reporters for ask am be say
against who the Khaki Boys dey defend themselves. The thing wey we hear be say them gather
men together and come dem shoot dem like say dem be Malu for Ajegunle. I even hear say no
be say the people wey dem kill get guns o. If to say na true true the Army dey defend
themselves why he no ask the coward Khaki Boys come tell us wey be Public their own side
for the tory. If na true true the Army dey defend themselves why we no bring Detectives
for Obodo Oyinbo make dem study the thing. We can even ask the man wey defend Simpson
during Evidence own for America make he come investigate the thing for us. Se una remember
say the first time wey people talk say the thing happen, that our yeye Chief of Staff
Ogomudia talk say na lie people dey lie say him Boys no do the thing. I no sabi why the
man no fit resign if him be real Professional. Person wey be man of Integrity for don
resign since the thing happen under his watch. But make una no expect say that kind thing
go happen for our Obodo. I never see person wey get that kind moral and Integrity for
Nigeria. Because dem no say na the end of their Power trip be that. Plus na him be say end
don come for their Chop money be that. Dem no say if dem comot, dem no go fit thief money
from our Reserve be that.
All this tory wey
all of dem including the Ministers and our Uncle Sege dey talk no fit solve the thing. If
to say na true our President want move the country forward, the first thing wey he for do
be say, make him comot all those Leaders wey dey in charge including the yeye Cowards wey
kill people wey no get weapons for hand. If to say he fit possible, I for talk say make
our President no run for another term as the thing happen during his term. Na that kind
action go fit move our country forward and people go respecct am more. Instead of this
cock and bull tory wey dem dey tell us as if to say we be mumu.
Na here I go stop
my fellow obodians, make una no expect say the people wey give the Order and their Muguns
go face Justice for Nigeria. Small time dem go create one yeye Panel talk say make dem
Investigate the thing. Wetin happen to all those Panels wey dem create before? No No be
say na just talk our Leaders dey talk. Na the same thing go happen to this one. Our Uncle
Sege too dey afraid, him know say if he try am na for him house for Egbaland him go find
himselve. Dem go overthrow am, his entourage and send dem packing
October.26.2001
Our Soldier Don Turn To Killers
He don
happen o my people, our Soldier for Benue don turn our Villages to Killing Fields. No be
this week I dey tell una say our Soldier go revenge. I know say na their mama born dem, he
no dey hard if you want figure our Khaki Boys out. Why una think say Our Late Yabbist King
call dem Zombie? Dem too no dey hear word at all. Na go dem hear as my Grandmother for
Village dey talk, dem no dey hear come. I know say dem go make sure say dem teach the
people lesson.
My fellow
Obodians, una go think say our Soldiers dem go use some common sense get the people wey
kill their peers, but no be for our Nigeria, common sense no dey common for the people.
Which kind human beings wey no get soul go gather people together like say dem be Malu
(cows) and come spray dem with Bullets? Una mean say our Army no be person again wey be
say dem no sabi between right and wrong. Una want tell say the money wey our Government
dey spend for their head na to kill innocent people dem go learn for training? Haba
Alhaji, wetin this world dem turn to wey be say our soldier go just kill people just like
that and dem no go blink. You mean say everytime dem wear that yeye Uniform, Evil go just
creep into that their small brains? Yamutu people coldblood like say dem be fowl for
market? My poeple this one don pass me o, I no sabi this kind thing. Why dem no fit fight
their fellow Village Soldiers for Liberia like that? My African Brethrens for the place
for dey enjoy their Obodo now, instead na that yeye Monster wey call himself Leader dey
use the Obodo like say na him papa Domain. All this gbana wey dem dey smoke don turn their
head so tay dem no sabi Human again wey be say anything wey cross their way na yamutu. Se
no be person born dem, abi dem no dey shame? Small time dem go call themselves
Professional Soldiers, no mind dem, dem be Wannabe Mercenaries wey dey prey on Innocent
people. Their sakara na our obodo he reach, dem for send go Afganistan make Talibans teach
dem lessons.
As for my fellow
Obodians wey no sabi the thing wey I dey talk, make I tell una small. No be for Tuesday I
hear for Radio say our Soldier dem pack themselves for Motor come go the area where some
yeye youths kill their fellow Soldiers two weeks ago. When dem reach the place, dem come
ask the villagers say make dem come outside say dem want talk to dem. As my source tell
me, she say dem come separate our men from women and children dem. Na him dem come spray
the men with bullets like say na Animals dem dey kill. From their I hear say dem go
another village and kill all the men wey dey there too.
Some people even
talk say dem go our Former Minister of Defence, General Kalu house and kill Four people
for the place. My people make una dey surprise if our country no pafuka soon because I no
understand that one. If dem fit go their Oga patapata house go kill him relatives wetin
una think say dem go do with me and una? Na him be say this our Country don dey dabaru
small small be that. If our President and his people think say everything dey kampe, na
him be say if una sabi person wey our Uncle Sege and his Deputies dem, make una tell dem
say make dem stop the Ogogoro wey dem dey drink wey make no fit think straight, because
our Obodo don dey crack small small. If our country still dey kampe after next election,
make una know say no be my Papa born me. All this tory wey dem talk say na Tiv and Jukun
people dey fight themselves because dem no want live together again na lie, I know say na
some Godfathers push the thing as say dey go benefit from the thing if our Country pafuka.
As I want stop
here my fellow Obodians, make una no surprise if una hear say my brother for Obodo America
don send for me o. Since our Leaders dem no call me when dem dey chop the money, I no want
dey when dem start dey kill themselves. Person wey no eat Giri no dey die suddenly. Make
una dey pray for our country o as I go follow my neighbours dem go their Mosque/Church
this weekend.

Who Kill Our
Soldier for Benue/Taraba State?
My people he don shele again o, I hear say some youths for North
go ambush some Soldier and come kill them like say dem be rats. Dem talk say the people
wey find the bodies say the way wey dem take kill the Soldier no dey good at all. My
source talk say dem kill dem like say dem be animals.
My people which
kind wahala wey the yeye youths want start again. I know say no person wey dey for our
Obodo wey Soldier never show am pepper. Plenty of us no lilke as the people destroy our
Country. Na all of us sabi this. The thing wey those hooligans do to those Soldier na only
people wey be monsters go do that kind thing. Plenty of us know say those Khaki Boys wey
dem kill no be dem destroy our Country. The people wey do am dey for their mansion dey
enjoy our money wey dem thief from our Coffer. On as serious note, the kind thing wey
those youths do fit cause wahala for our Obodo o. The thing wey I no sabi be say which
kind person or group dey behind this Indian Hemp smokers dem? I no think say those boys
fit do that kind thing by themselves. Some powerful people go dey behin the thing. If to
na me be Uncle Sege, I go dey careful gan. Some people no too like his government and dem
go try all kind thing to dabaru am. I hope say him don send his security men after the
invicible power dem. The question wey I want ask be say how those boys fit do that kind
thing wey people for the area no go see dem. Something no dey proper for the thing. Even
self which kind soldier those people be, wey some youths fit kill all them like that and
dem no fit fight back. I no go lie to una, I no care which can weapon person get for hand,
if dem waylay me, I go die fighting o. Even if I know say dem plenty pass me, me too go
kill plenty of dem before dem before my body become vegetable. That day make God expect
plenty visitors because no be only me go go yonder for the thing. But na pray I dey pray
make that kind thing no happen to any of us Amen/Amina.
As the thing don
happen now, I hope say the people wey sabi the youths wey comit this kind evil deed go
come out o if we no want katakata happen for Nigeria. Na all of us know say our Army go
take revenge. Before the thing go cause anachy for our Obodo as my brother dey talk, he go
good if the killers come out o. If not I pity the next riot wey happen for our Obodo
because the Khaki boys go make sure say some people pay for the thing. So my people if una
get pikin or family wey too dey involve for riot, make una warn am make he stop am if una
no want bury am before his/her time. Na all of us hear and see the thing wey happen for
Niger Delta when some youths kill our Security men. And that na against Police o. Una know
say our Soldier go come out with full force, like say na Liberia Rebel dem dey fight. I
pray say our Leaders dem go resolve the thing before our Country pafuka. Na here I go
stop, make una dey do jeje o. Please if una get killers for una midst I beg make una point
dem out before innocent people pay for the goods wey dem no get.
October.19.2001
Na wa for our Away President O
How dey go
dey go my fellow Obodians, I hope una dey live? Which kind country we dey self my people?
Why be say we no get luck for Leader own. If una look our history, plenty of our Past
President na yeye. Dem be like Asewo wey be say na because of money she dey sleep with
you. Na him be say she no too care how you be. Na that kind person we dey get as Leaders
for Nigeria. If dem no thief our money dem go sell our rights to Foreigners. Just like
Abacha dem wey go take our money open business for his family for Ivory Coast. You mean
say our youths no sabi work. Why dem no fit open company for our Obodo so our youths fit
find work do.
But the one wey we
get for that position now that one wohwoh small. No be say he thief money (yet) o, na
because o his ways. Make una no get me wrong o, I like the man small but the thing wey I
no sabi be say the Old man no too dey think at all or him advisors na mumu. The reason be
say na everybody wey dey for this world sabi the riot for Kano between Bin Laben relatives
for Nigeria and their Christian brethen. Even my brother wey dey for America talk am say
he see am for CNN. Na the same thing my cousin for Paris talk. The only people wey I think
no hear or see the thing na our Uncle Sege and his wacky and die friends wey he call
advisors. Make I ask una this, how person house go dey burn and he go come dey go party?
This one pass me o. How wahala go dey for our country and our President go dey go
Overseas? His country men dey kill themselves our President dey go Paris go shake hands
for people wey he forget shake their hands the last time he travel. Abi na French Food wey
dem go serve for the place na him our Leader never chop before and he think say he go miss
am? Which award dem want give for the place wey pass innocent people wey dey die for our
Obodo? Abi which meeting dem dey do self wey be say him life depend on am. This na our
President o and the man want make dem relect am again. We dey hear plenty world leaders
wey be say any time wey trouble dey for their country na the end of the trip be that.
Plenty Leaders go trade place with our President because na the thing wey dem fit take win
Eletion be that. I guess the thing no mean anything for our Obodo as the man know say our
votes no dey count. No matter what we do, his people go stuff the ballot boxes.
The man get some
nerves o as dem dey talk for America, I even hear say the soldier wey go meet am for
Airport the man ignore dem. He no even look their side as if to say dem no dey. This na
our country President o. Na everything dey dey akward for our Obodo, I no sabi the thing
wey those soldier do wey go make our President ignore dem. This na the kind thing wey we
no dey hear for other countries because their opponent go jump over that like Ants wey see
sugar for road. And the media no go let the person rest. I guess that one no count for our
country because na Autocrademocracy we get for our Ohodo no be Democracy. Our Media stll
dey run after money instead of tory wey affect our live. I no go lie to una, as of today
o, the man no dey get my vote. His behaviour pass me, na him be say the man no respect our
country and the people wey dey live for the place. Na here I go stop my people, na only
God fit help us for Nigeria because plenty of our so call leaders na wolf in sheep agbada.
October.17.2001
Haba My Hausa People Dem!
My people how una dey cope with all this nonsense wey dey happen
for North. Wetin dey happen for the place self wey be say na every week dem dey kill
themselves? The thing wey I go talk today plenty, and I know say my Northern brethren no
go like am but nothing go prevent me wey I no go speak truth.
No be for the
Oputa panel wey I hear one Major dey talk say our Hausa Leaders put am for Prison because
his people carry one market from area wey my Hausa people plenty and come go build new one
wey Hausa no plenty. The man talk say na the thing wey cause wahala wey plenty people die
for the thing be that. He even talk the hoodlums burn plenty properties. He say small time
he found himselve dey look Prison wall. He even talk say for Prison dem no tell am why he
dey the place. To cut the tory short the man say dem sentence am and Major General Gumwalk
to death. He say na only God save am, wey be say dem come reduce the thing to 5 Years
imprisonment. According to the Major, he talk say plenty people wey dem put for Jail na
from his tribe, he talk say dem no put any Hausa man for Prison.He even talks say our
Federal Government dem give the Hausa Community Plenty money and no kobo touch his tribe
hand. That one na one.
Se una remember
another riot for Plateau State wey plenty Non Hausa people die for the thing. I hear say
that one too na because dem say some people kill one Chief and because of that katakata
come start. My source talks say if una see how plenty of my Tiv people dey run helter
sketer, una go pity dem. Small time some Hausa from surounding States too join for the
tihing. I even hear say apart from people wey die, if una see how dem burn plenty Business
and Houses for the thing.
Another one na for
Kaduna between my Muslim and Christian Brothers. This na over matter wey I no think say
concern us for Nigeria. Dem talk say some Muslim people mostly Hausas dey jump up and down
when innocent people die for America. I no sabi this thing o my fellow Obodians. I no care
which religion you be, Anybody wey dey happy when plenty people die na monster no be
person. Where he dey for Koran wey God say he dey alright make you kill your neighbours?
Small time plenty of these my moslem brothers go go Mosque dey pray to God. The people
just dey deceive themselves because I no think say God go hear that kind prayer when we
dey support destruction of our fellow mankind.
The last one wey I
go talk again na the one wey happen for Kano. I hear say some fools dey use the money wey
dem earn for work dey buy Bin Laden Memorablia (Mobile Phones, Tshirts, etc). Why be say
some of us we no dey use our God given Brain self? This thing too dey happen where our
Black people dey. We too dey worship people instead of our Makers. These people wey dey
protest against America, which of dem wey that kind thing go happen for his village or
Town, he no go carry cutlass go attack people wey kill his family and townsmen. Una want
tell me say as America want fight the people wey destroy their lives and Properties no dey
justify? I know say plenty of una no forget the thing wey happen for Lagos last year? No
be una want carry Trailers go Lagos go attack our Yoruba people because dem kill plenty of
my Hausa people for Lagos? Why America no fit do the same thing?
Wetin our Arab
brothers do for us self other than say we dey worship the same God? These fools wey dey
attack Christians for North, una want tell me say if our Arab brothers dey kill Christians
wey be Nigerians una go support dem because dem be fellow Moslems. The way plenty of una
dey practice una religion self pass me o. If una no no, All of us wey be Nigerians na
black. Plenty of our Arab people na Yellow. Se una hear say plenty of our people wey be
black for Sudan, the so call people wey una dey support dey use dem as slaves. These na
una fellow black people o. So my fellow Hausa, I know say plenty of us dey nice for bod,
na the few Animals weu dey among us dey cause this katakata. But we as people, he go good
if we check ourselves, deeds and words. We get plenty Tribes for Nigeria, why be say na
only my Hausa people dey fight everybody. As my Mama dey talk when I dey young. Everytime
wey she catch me dey fight, I go tell am say na jeje I sit down wey the person come hit
me. And my Mama go talk say why be say na the same tory I dey talk everytime she catch me
dey fight? She talk say he go good if I look at myself first because different people no
fit dey do the same thing to me all the time.
My people na here
I go stop o, He go good if we watch our deeds before we cause katakata for our Obodo. This
killing don dey dey too much o. If we no stop this self destruction, I no think say the
country go fit survive o.

Nigeria
Connection: Our Police Don Become Teachers
My people how dey
go dey go, I beg make una no vex with me. I no too dey get tory nowadays. Una don hear
this one, I don hear another one o, and una go laugh if una hear am. No be jeje I sit down
for Office dey nak tory with some Omoges na him one boy come tell me say I get visitor
from Maiduguri. As I reach the place so na my friend Mohammed wey be Oga for Police na him
I see. The Man don change o, you no go even know say the man na Olopa as him face fat so.
Him no be the kind police wey dey chop corn for roadside for my area. I come ask am wetin
he dey do for our area, na him come tell me say him dey here for official business na him
make him say make he stop by my house. When he reach my house na him dem tell am say I dey
for office. The yeye man with him belle dey ask me how tey get the job self? To cut the
tory shot na him the man tell me say him dey go back to Maiduguri tomorrow and I come ask
am say no be today he just come and why he dey rush. Na him he come tell me say dem get
some training wey dey important. I come ask am say which kind yeye training dem dey do for
Police Station wey dey important. Na him the man tell me say the training na for some
people from Congo Republic. I come ask am as I dey laugh say if he mean our Olopa go train
Police from Congo, and he come say yes. Mohammed come ask me why I dey laugh, my people
wetin una think?
No be say I no
like our Police ( I no fit talk say I dey proud of dem) but the thing be say dem mean say
these Congolese dem no fit find another country Police and na our Nigerian Police Force
dem want make he train dem? I no too sabi the country but the thing be say if dem no get
checkpoint for Congo before, now dem go get am. Una mean say the people no dey read
papers? Abi because dem no sabi English na him make dem no sabi say our Police na
Ogbologbo for fraud. Which kind law enforcement dem dem want learn from us when our own
too dey go Obodo Oyinbo go learn how to become Police? I hope say no be their country go
pay for the thing because the thing go be waste of money. I know Plenty of una no too like
the thing wey I dey talk but my people if we no want lie to ourselves our Police na Big
Jagudas. You mean our Police wey dey give guns to men of underworld for evening and come
collect am for early morning after dem don get their own shares, sabi crime prevention?
Why be say na Robbers dey rule our country? I no dey lie if I say our Nigerian Police dey
among the worst Olopa for this world. The people wey fit sell their mama because of money
go come dey train some African Police. I pity the people for Brazzaville, the little peace
wey dem get don pafuka be that. Because I no sabi say our Police Force fit teach dem
anything positive since Agbari dey too much for our people. I understand say other people
think say we be Giant of Africa and we sabi plenty, that na lie for my book. I know plenty
African countries wey better our country fine fine. For Nigeria we dey bless but the
problem be say plenty of us dey look for easy money and we no want sweat for the thing.
And the leaders dem, those na disgrace. The only thing wey dem sabi na to feed their big
belle and waste our money for their concubine heads.
Our Police na
reflection of our society, we too like money and we dey corrupt. Na everything get price
for our obodo including our conscience. Na here I go stop my people, if to say the young
Kabila ask for my opinion I for tell am say make he no waste his money. The people wey he
send go dey worst pass before dem come Nigeria.

Nigeria Saga: Murder For Hire
My fellow
Obodians life don tire me for this our Country o. As I see am, life no mean anything for
our Obodo. People just dey die like fly and the Police no fit do anything about am. And
the problem be say our Police no want talk say dem don fail us. How many times una hear
say our Police catch someone for murder. Even ordinary Armed Robbers wey be our Number One
Enemy dem don become Kings of our Land. What a joke. The only people wey dem fit catch na
OPC and Bakassi Boys dem because those dey easy for dem. The ones wey no get face like the
Hired Killers just dey operate like say we no get security for our Obodo.
This Assasin
palava self how the thing take start self? My people why be say for our Obodo we no too
dey copy Oyinbo behaviour wey go do our country good? Na the one wey fit wipe our whole
country na him we go dey follow follow like people wey no get direction. Make we take
asewo own for example. If you go Allen Avenue and Ajegunle na so you go see our women dem
with skimpy skirt like say na their junior sister wrapper dem wear. Some of dem be like
masqurade wey dey for my papa village. And this kind corner thing wey these yeye girls dem
dey do no be kind thing wey our forefathers pass down to us o.. But as country hard so na
everybody dem dey sell her body for money. Sebi na the one wey dey for corner we dey,
plenty asewo poku for Corporate world own. Na dem dem dey call Senior Girls. These na the
women wey you go see dey run after bank managers and Managing Directors. All these thing
don make our women cheap. Sebi una hear about our pikin dem wey don become Body snatcher
for Europe. This na the kind thing wey our Leaders don turn our people into be that o. But
this one small compare to this Assasin palava my people.
The major problem
na this Hired Killer own. As he be for our Obodo now, no person life safe. Se una hear
about Mr Monday Ndor, member of River State House Assembly wey assasin kill as the man dey
return from Bori Town. This no be first this year o. Plenty Politicians and Business men
and women don die from this Undesirable Elements and I no think say I ever hear say our
Police catch one Killer for the crime. Plenty of dem na Egunje (bribe) you go see dem dey
collect for check point from Danfo and Molue drivers. The reason why we still get Police
self for Nigeria I no sabi. I know say the thing no dey easy but the way wey things dey
go, this people go continue dey kill us like rats unless our Police do something about it.
Our Leaders dem wey dey call Oyinbo people make dem come invest for Nigeria just dey waste
their time. Se our people wey be say if you do business with dem finish when the time come
make you collect your own share na Hired Assasin dem go send after you make dem come kill
you for Hotel. If to say I be Oyinbo wey get money, I no go lie to una my fellow Obodians,
our Obodo go be the last place wey I want do business. Agbari don dey too much for our
Obodo, and the thing don dey deadly as our Business people don start another way wey dem
go fit comot their partners. Before na through Juju, but plenty of dem don go hightech
now. Before you know it, na Hired Killer go dey pursuit person everywhere you go. Person
life no worth penny for our Obodo now.
Twenty years ago
this kind thing no dey for our Obodo. But as soon as this General Marodonna Babangida
enter power, our life just change for worse. No crime wey no dey for Nigeria now. Some
crime before na inside movie you go dey see dem. Plenty of dem don get root for Nigeria
now. And our Leaders no fit do anything as plenty of dem dey among the people wey dey
comit all these attocities wey don become disease for Nigeria. The baba Isale (Kingpin)
for the thing na our so call Leaders. I don tell my friends and families wey get small
money say if dem value their lives make dem no join politics or do business with our
people dem. If dem want start business wey dem no get all the money make dem just leave
the money for bank. Although that one too no safe as our Bank Managers and Cashiers don
become informants for men of Underworld. Na wa for our country no place even safe o.
As I want stop
here the thing wey I go say be say as Police dem don loose control for the thing, he go
good make everybody for Nigeria dey carry gun. I know say this no be best idea but at
least before person attack you, him go think twice as he sabi say you get your own gun
too. All these Barawos wey dey attack in large numbers when dem want attack a whole Estate
go think before dem come because dem know say the thing go be real battle for dem, and dem
fit no make am back alive. My people make una just dey pray o because na the only thing
wey fit comot us from all these bondage be that.
September.24-26.2001
My people I hope say una no vex as una no hear from me since last
week. Thing be say my source dem no fit find tory for me. I dey pray say something go come
up this Friday if not we go just dey look ourselves for face ( I just dey joke with una).
Any way sa if dem no fit find me tory he be like say I go ask some of una make una tell me
something wey una think say go be better topic for our people. Make una wait, he be like
say I dey hear one of dem dey enter come. He be like say tory don shele o, I go see una on
Friday as my God/Allah don talk am make una dey take am jeje o.
September.21.2001
Uncle Sege Adviser
For Aviation Matter Get Big Mouth
My people I don
come again o, how una dey? I hope say una dey kampe? Make una no worry he go better one
day sa.
He don happen o, I
no sabi where our President dey get these him Advisers from self. Before I start, make I
tell una why I talk so. Na all of una sabi the thing wey happen to our Friends for
America, the God's own country. Plenty people die for the thing and I hear say if una see
how many people go lose their job because of the thing una go say Osanobua. Na that we dey
talk for our house House before my friend Johnny enter. He come ask me If I don hear the
thing wey our President Advisor for Aviation Matters talk? Me I think say he dey talk
about that woman wey dem say don dabaru Nigerian Airways, I come ask am say wey thing the
woman do again? Na him talk say no be the woman, this person na the adviser no be
Minister. As my friend narrate the thing to me, him talk say he read am for News say the
man Captain Shehu Usman Iyal talk say the thing wey happen for American Embassies for
Tanzania and Kenya no fit happen for here. My people, na so I open my mouth gbaga like
this, as if to say no be the thing I hear be that, which kind fools we get for Government
self? This na the person wey dey advise our President for Aviation matter o. My fellow
Obodians, if una get family wey be Ajala travel make una tell am say the time don come wey
he must sit his yansh for one place.
Una see this kind
person I no sabi how dem take make am Captain self? Una go think say because na Airforce
person he go get some sense for that him small head but he be like say no be so. If to say
na Civilian like me wey talk am, we for say na because I no sabi anything na him make talk
like that. This person come be captain again, how he tay reach that post self because he
no be like say get sense for upstairs. Even America wey be Oga for Technology own and
security, na all of us see the thing wey dem do dem. Israel nko, no be almost everyday
suicide bombers dey attack their territory? We for ask the man say which kind Ogogoro wey
he drink when him talk am? If the thing fit happen to those countries wey I mention, who
we be for Nigeria? Make I start with that Captain self. I no go lie to una, if dem bribe
the man say make he allow dem make dem attack our Country, the man no go resist. Plenty of
our people go sell Nigeria and dem no go blink dem eyes at all at all. Una want tell me
say Abacha and all the so call Leaders wey chop our money, dem no be Nigerians? Abi the
captain want tell me say those Barawos dem no sabi the thing wey go happen to our Obodo if
dem neglet am and send the money to their accounts for Obod Oyinbo? That worst pass
terrorist self because na the whole country dey surfer for years. Where plenty of dem dey
today? No be dem don become Ministers and Senators wey dey rule us? The thing wey I sabi
about our people be say we no get conscience. Plenty Nigerians go sell the country for
Kobo and dem no go think twice about.
Another thing be
say the thing wey the man talk dey dangerous. Se the man want make those people target our
Obodo? As the world dey close so, wetin make the man think say dem no dey among us
already? Who go stop dem self? Make una no tell me say these our security men wey be say
when dem see ordinary Robbers wey carry Shakabula (local guns) na run dem dey run. You
mean na dem go stop person wey get bomb for motor? He be like the man don kolo. I no talk
say I be expert o, but I no think say person with that kind background go dey talk that
nonsense. Wetin go happen if those people think say we dey deer dem and come face us? As
dem never face our country he dey good so. Because those people no be mumu for the thing
o. Countries wey get better security pass us dem no fit catch dem and the man come dey
talk about us wey be say we no fit stop even Ghana must go back bags wey dey obvious for
our Borders. Se the man think say if dem dey carry contraband come our Borders our custom
go fit stop dem? He be like say the man no sabi our country self. Se those custom people
wey be say na the thing wey dem want chop na him dem dey look for ports. Dem go just give
dem some Pounds and our custom officials go look another way.
My people na hear
I go stop, I hope say our President go want these his so call Advisers dem make dem dey
think before dem open that their big mouths. As for this man, this thing wey he talk dey
dangerous and he fit give some people false hope. I hope our President go sack am. Make
una dey do jeje o....................
September.19.2001
I Forsee Big
Religious War For Our Obodo
My people how una dey, I hope una dey
cope with all this hulahula wey dey happen for our World? Na beg I beg una make una
forgive me say una no hear from me, na all these killings wey dey happen for our Obodo and
America make me no fit come work o. My people I no know for una o, but the way wey things
dey happen for our Obodo lately, make una no surprise if hear break lose for Nigeria and
war come happen. As for una wey witness civil war of 1966-1967, if una look at the thing
wey dey crop unto our society now una go see say dem dey similar. The thing wey I no sabi
be say our so call Leaders wey be say plenty of dem participate for last civil war dey act
like say dem no sabi the thing wey our people face especially my people wey dey for East.
This thing no be joking matter, plenty people lose their lives for the thing. The first
sign wey I see, and I believe say our Government make big mistake when dem allow some
States make dem introduce Sharia as state law and religion. If we sabi our people well
well, we be what some people wey sabi book go call Nomadics. Na him be say we too no dey
sit down for one place, we like dey waka waka. If you go North, una go see plenty
Southerners wey majority of dem na Christians dey live for the place. And the same thing
for South, wey be say plenty Northerners wey be Moslems call the place their home. So the
thing wey I no sabi be say why our Leaders dem go allow Sharia Law wey fit divide our
country? Wetin our so call SSS dem do wey dem no fit advice our President say that na bad
move. Una want tell me say we no get Organization/Agency wey dey in charge of that kind
thing for Nigeria? Me and una know say that no be true, because plenty of the people wey
rule us in the past, use the thing to oppress their opponents and our people. This na the
kind thing wey make our country yeye. The system wey our Colonial Ruler put in place for
us wey our government for they use for Intelligence gathering, find out where trouble dey
or go fit dey; but our Leaders dey use am dey harrass their opponents. Make I break it for
una small small.
This Sharia na good thing for Islam and
we fit use am for plenty goods for our Obodo but the thing be say our Country no be like
other country, the people wey introduce am no do am because dem be good Muslim. Me I no
care the thing wey dem talk, if dem search their mind dem no say plenty of dem do thing
for Politics and want use am create katakata for our Obodo. Una want tell me say dem no
sabi say the thing go fit cause palavar for our country? And after one state introduce am,
the other ones come dey follow follow and the thing come spread like say na bush fire.
Plenty of our so call Leaders no get backbones, dem go use anything to remain in power.
Dem fit sell their mama if the thing go make dem retain power. This dey typical of our
people. Na the same problem we get for craft or job own. Una remember about 10years ago
wey be say na everybody want become Fashion Designer, na the same thing dey happen wey be
say every where you go, na so so Church and Business Centers you go see for corner. Our
people too dey look at another man life dey judge their own. And the thing dey cause
plenty wahala pass anything. Why our Uncle Sege go allow the thing dey beyond me o my
people. But as I don talk before, the man don change, I no care the thing wey he dey tell
us for public. We all know say the man no be mumu and he dey intelligent proper but the
problem be say the man na Figure Head. Na "some power that be" dem dey call the
short, I no dey wrong if I say dem get something on am. Because I no sabi a sensible
Leader wey go allow the kind system wey him and everybody wey dey around am know say na
bad omen for our Obodo.
Since the time wey dem make this Sharia
state religion and law for our Nigeria na him the thing don dey cause wahala. Plenty
innocent people don die as our people dey poor so, plenty of dem lose lose theri
properties for the sake of Religion. Last year na Kaduna, Enugu, Anambra, Kano, Zamfara,
Ogun, Lagos, Sokoto. This year na Kaduna, Plateau, Cross Rivers, Nasarawa, Bauchi,
Plateau, Abia, Anambra, Akwa-Ibom, Kwara, Lagos and some other states wey I no remember.
Before we no too dey hear that katakata for our Obodo but now the thing don become routine
for our Society. And another thing be say some our so call Leaders wey no fit close their
yeye mouth and keep their unwanted opinion to themselves dey fuel this war just because
dem want be Relevant at all cost.
As I see am, the thing go happen again,
and make una no surprise if the thing lead to Religious war for our Obodo. And if that
happen, make una just forget the country wey una sabi as Nigeria. As I want stop now, na
beg I dey beg our Leaders including the Imams, Alfa, Cardinal, Pastor, Reverend, Jujuman
and Babalawo say make we begin dey talk among ourselves if we no want our country become
Yugoslavia. I go see una on Friday as my God don talk am, make una dey do jeje o.
September.12.2001
How una dey my people, I no go fit give
talk today because plenty of our co-workers dey live for Obodo America. According to our
Oga for Lagos, some of dem na New York City dem dey live. We pray say everybody dey kampe
o including other Americans wey the thing affect. I promise una say una go hear from me on
Friday. Make una help us pray for dem o.
September.10.2001
No Respect For Our Leaders
How dey go dey go my people, I hope say una dey enjoy o? My
people I don find out why Oyinbo dey live longer pass us o. This leave wey I take na him
make me realize the thing. Una remember I tell una say I dey go my village go rest. When I
reach the place I make sure say my family for Lagos no sabi the place wey I dey stay.
Since I don dey go leave na this one I go say I enjoy pass. My people make I no lie to
una, life no dey for city o, na for village be the bomb as my brother for America dem
talk. Na so so fresh food I dey put for my belle, no be the kind Oku Eko wey plenty people
for Lagos dey eat. If una see me now, una go think say I just come back from Obodo Oyinbo.
Even people wey dey for our office talk say I look better, but make I no bore una with my
enjoyment.
Which kind yeye
thing wey I dey hear now wey plenty people talk say make we respect our Leaders especially
our Head of States? He be like say the people wey dey talk this nonsense don smoke gbana.
Which African Leaders wey una sabi wey put his people welfare before his own? Since wey
dem born me na only few people dem na him deseve that kind treatment and plenty of dem don
die. Na only General Gowon deserve my respect. No be say the man and his cabinets no chop
money but plenty bridge wey una dey waka everyday na him build dem. Even all these
monumental buildings wey una see throughout Nigeria especially for Lagos na during the man
era na him dem build am. All the other ones from our Current President Uncle Sege to
General Abubakar na rogues dem be. Una want tell me say that yeye farm wey our President
get for Ota na his own sweat na him take build am? If we look well well na that our money
wey dem allocate for OFN (Operation Feed the Nation) na there plenty of the money be.
As for the rest of
dem una sabi their stories. Plenty money wey Babangida, Aikhomu, Shagari, Diya, Abacha,
Ekwueme and the rest of dem get today belong to all of us. Na the reason wey me no
consider dem say dem get money. The place where dem born me, if na true wayo you take get
money people no dey respect you. I no respect any of dem. Which time wey una hear say dem
take people wey call dem barawos go court? Because the salary wey dem get for their
military career as Oga for Soldier no fit reach the kind Billion wey dem stack for Obodo
Oyinbo. And as for the civillians among dem, which kind business dem get wey pay dem the
kind money wey dem get for Bank accounts now? My people make we no deceive ourselves, all
these people wey dey act like say dem born dem with silver spoon na big Onyeochis. Una don
see the kind mansions wey dem get around the country, which kind industry una hear say dem
get wey dey bring that kind money? I look around our Obodo, I no see or hear say any of
these undesirable Elements get company for their village.
So my people, I
never see leaders wey dem say make we respect o. Una want make we respect all these people
wey be say na through force dem take gain power? Abi the ones wey be say their hands soil
with plenty innocent people blood wey dem don send to their maker before their time? So
which leaders we dey talk o my people? Make una look around, una want tell me say with all
the resources wey we get for our Obodo, how come plenty of our people dem want run go
Obodo Oyinbo go live? When I be small pikin, plenty people wey dey go Oyinbo Country go
study dey rush back home when dem finish their study, but the thing no be so now. As other
countries dem dey move forward, na back and reverse our country dey do. How many middle
class we get now and how many dey 25 years ago? Almost all of us now no fit afford three
square meals a day. But if una go our leaders dem house, una go think say na everyday be
celebration. If una go London, una go see as plenty of their pikin dem dey blow our money
like say dem get atlantic ocean for backyard and na money full am.
So my people, as
for me o, we no get Leaders wey I go fit respect. Na only Robbers wey dey wear Leader
Clothes na him we get for Africa. Na here I go stop my people, make una dey do jeje o.

Assasin Palava Don Enter Politics
My people I beg make una no vex with me say una no see me on
Wednesday. Se a month ago I tell my Oga say I dey go leave. I no sabi say the man think na
next week I go begin. Na jeje I sit down for house dey drink Palmwine na him our messenger
for work knock for my door say Oga say make he come call me. Me I think say the bobo dey
joke since me and an na friends. Na him de man tell me say he wish say na joke him dey
joke o, the bobo come talk say our Oga dey vex say I don begin make I no dey dey punctual
for work. To cut the tory shot una believe say the man no talk say him no sack me if to
say no be our secretary wey show am my leave paper. Any way sa my people, una Senator of
the Masses dey go vacation next week Monday as my Oga give me extra day because the man
with him Moustache disturb me from my vacation wey I for start this week. I don plan say
this time around, na for our village I go run to. Make the man with him big stomach come
tell his goonies make dem come call me for village. I no think say the man sabi be say na
me be Mayor for our Village. Na kobko na him I go say make dem take comot him wire
moustache. Me no fit wait go the place go eat fresh Ogbona and crayfish and I go come nack
better palmwine on top of am.
Kedu ko du my
people? Se una don hear say war want start for Ebonyi State between our brothers dem
Senate President Anyim and Governor Egwu. The kind palava wey begin between these powerful
men no be joke. I hear last week say our Senate President Anyim send report to Police say
our Governor Dr. Egwu dey threaten am with Assassin. He talk say him don notice say Hire
Killer dey follow am here and there. He even talk say the people dey call him house say if
him come to Ebonyi, na him dead body him family go carry. Last week I hear say our former
Vice President elder Ekwueme and some elders for South East gather together say make dem
resolve the thing wey dey between these foolish men. But according to my source for South
East, dem talk say Governor Egwu no want settle the thing. Dem say the man no dey happy as
dem make Senator Anyim Senate President. I even hear say the man campaign against his
fellow Ebonyian for National Assembly. Some people talk say the Governor no dey happy say
our Senate President go dey share limelight with am for Ebonyi State. But my people since
I no dey there and no be say both of dem call me dey tell me the thing I no sabi if this
na true true or not. But my fellow Obodians, if to say na true this people want kill each
other because of power, na him be say dem go better thing for us be that for Nigeria. The
thing wey I no sabi with dem be say plenty Nigerians go sell their mama if the thing go
make dem reach the kind power and prestige wey these too foolish men get. One na Senate
President and the other na Governor and dem want kill themselves for the thing, how many
of dem wey him family don reach that kind positions before? Na him be say some people no
sabi when God lift dem up. Which among dem think say if the other person die, no be him we
go blame. Una see my people, these people no be people like me and una o, these na people
wey sabi book well well and dem go Univeristy. One na Doctor and the other one he be like
say him be Lawyer or Engineer. If to say people like me wey no sabi book dey behave like
this, people go tallk say na because we no get education na him dey make us dey behave
like bush people. Wetin una go come say about these fools now? If both of dem know say dem
too dey big for the position wey we put dem, make dem just comot the thing and let people
wey go appreciate dem get the thing.
I don tire for
this kind village politics wey plenty of our so call leaders dey practice, if dem no want
the thing make dem just comot. Abi na by force? I no sabi the kind unversity wey some of
dem go wey be say na through force dem dey take power. These positions dem no be their
rights, na priveledge and small time their time go pass. I hope say dem go listen to our
Elders and end this chicken fight wey dem want turn deadly.
Na here I go stop
my people, I go see una for September 10. Make una dey do jeje o.
August.27.2001
Our Educational System Dey Kill Our Future
My people
he no dey easy for person wey be student for our Obodo. This no be the kind thing wey una
no sabi. Plenty of una wey go Secondary for Nigeria know say to pass WAEC and GCE no be
joke. You go study so tey he go be like say your life want end for the thing. Before I
start dey talk about the thing make I start from when person dey for form One. If I miss
anything make una forgive me as una sabi say for na Standard Six me I stop since this Book
brain no be all of us collect am when we dey come for this world.
When you want
comot Primary School, you no fit wait because you know say the next step na Secondary
School. And na dat go tell your Family say you no be small pikin again. And plenty of una
no want stay home go Secondary because your Family especially your Parents no go let you
rest as dem dey ask you make you do this and make you do dat. The day you leave home go
Boarding House na dat day you start dey become real man or woman. Because na there dem go
teach you home training if you no get one before you comot for your house. The yeye people
wey call themselves your Seniors go use you so tey he go be like say na House Boy/Girl you
be. Even from the thing wey my nephew tell me, house maid get better life pass you. All
the provisions wey your Mama buy you na inside Senior belle the thing go end. You wey be
say your brother or sister no fit ask you make you help am watch him trouser and Blouse
before you tell am where him/her go go. You cause am so tey he go be like say na you and
him/her na mate. But for Boarding school if you try am, na you and Belt go become one as
dem go take am put mark for your body. Small time you too become Senior, and everything
wey dem do you, you too want do am to people wey be your junior. You don forget the hate
wey you get for your Seniors dem when dem make your life miserable. The question wey I
want ask be say since you sabi say plenty of the thing wey those Senior do you na
injustice why you come do the same thing to the Innocent pikin wey be your Junior for
School? Plenty of una go talk say dem dey train person for Future, that fit be true if dem
no kill you first.
As you reach Form
Five, plenty of una study well well to reach the place. When time don dey reach wey you go
graduate, dem give una Mock Test before una do WAEC. Plenty of una do well because una
read well well. I hear say plenty schools dey follow WAEC style during this Mock Exam as
dem want make their students know how WAEC be. When WAEC come una study hard because
everybody know say if you want go University you must get better result for WAEC if not,
you go retake the thing or do GCE. Na everybody sabi say the thing no dey easy. Small time
when result comot, those yeye WAEC go tell plenty of our pikin say dem fail. And true true
if una look am, plenty of those students no be say dem no sabi book but because our
Educators dem too dey rely on exam wey person do for one day. As I dumb so I know say some
Pikin dey sick for that day, some of dem because hungry no gree den, dem no fit do the
thing as hungry no let dem rest. And plenty wey dey live for Big cities like Lagos and
Ibadan, no fit reach the Exam place intime because of go slow. This thing don spoil plenty
pikin life especially the ones from poor family. Plenty Student wey no get money for
another exam, go start dey look for work. But today wey even University graduates no fit
find work, na him be say person wey stop for Secodary go end up for him Papa Farm for
village if him no want Messenger work for Office.
So my people na so
life be for Nigeria o. Thet thing wey I no sabi be say why we too dey make life hard for
ourselves especially our Pikin dem? Small time some students we go tell dem say because
dem no get all their papers make dem go repeat am or make dem do GCE. Plenty time, plenty
of these pikin dem go fail the paper wey dem don get for WAEC and come pass the ones wey
dem fail for WAEC. I know sabi why we no fit let dem join am together make dem take enter
University, instead we go tell dem make dem go do am again. And this no be exam wey dem
dey do every month o, if dem fail am, na another year be that. You go see some people wey
don dey take the thing before dem born my mama. Why this hassle self? Plenty of these our
Leaders sabi how the thing be when dem be small Pikin o. But the money wey dem dey chop no
let dem use their head say make dem change am. And dem know say the thing don destroy
plenty of our Pikin wey for don do better thing for our Obodo. You go Oyinbo country, dem
dey do things wey go make their Youths wey be their future better, but that no be so for
Nigeria. Nothing wey we dey improve, as we dey do things when I be small pikin na so he
still be.
The question wey I
want ask our so call Expert for Education be say why plenty of our Pikin wey dey go Obodo
Oyinbo with Grade Three or no school Cert dey come back as Doctors and Lawyers? And plenty
times the kind law and Medicine wey dem sabi better pass our Nigerian Lawyers/Doctors dem.
So una see my People, exam wey person do for one day no fit give true test say person sabi
the thing or not. Our Pikin dem wey dey study for Obodo Oyinbo don proof that wrong. I
hope say our Educators and Leaders dem go change for the sake our Pikin before GIANT WAEC
and GCE GO DESTROY THEIR LIFE.
Na here I go stop
my people, make una think before una do am o
August.24.2001
Haba Money
Grubbers, Una Don Start Again?
How una my fellow Obodians, Se dey go dey go for una? Una don
hear? Our Leaders dem especially the Governors don begin their yeye wobia way again. Dem
no too dey see money for face. Na everbody sabi say because of plenty oil wey our country
sell this year, the money wey dey for our Nigeria Reserve plenty well well. Two weeks ago
our Governors dem come decide say dem go take Federal government go court. Dem talk say
since the country get plenty money for reserve, make the government share am among all the
states. The thing wey dem do in the past wey IMF and other Foreign Banks talk say our
Country owe Billions of Dollars na him these wacky and die want start again. I come hear
say Uncle Sege and his people wey dey for Federal talk say dem no go share the money as
say the country still dey go through some growing pain as dem put am. When I hear that, I
tell my friend Johnny say at least some people get some senses for their head for Abuja.
No be these Kalokalo wey call themselves Governors wey be say anything wey look like money
dem want chop am. Una mean say these people no sabi the say say "make person save for
raining day"? And as my Mama people dey talk, NO TAKE YOUR TEN FINGERS CHOP! I come
think say as Obasanjo and Central Bank don yari, the thing go stop, but that na dream for
my part.
On Monday as I sit
down jeje for my house na him my Johnny come stop by my house. He come say he hear say as
pressure dem too much for Obasanjo head, the man come agree say Federal Government go
share the money. Una see my people, all the yeye people wey we call Leaders na the same
side all of dem face. As una know, our President no dey things without a reason. I fit bet
una say the Governors dem and their Cronies don threat the man say if he want win another
election, make he release the money.
Nawa o my people,
these people go continue to eat our country dry like this? Where all these yeye people wey
call themselves Human Rights Organization including our so call Media wey be say na
Contract their CEO dey look for for Abuja and State Capitals dey? Which people go come
fight for our future as all the Elders dem don sell their soul for Naira? Where all these
student Leaders dey self? Una want tell me say na only few of us care enough about our
Children. My people if una no sabi, na our pikin future na him these people dey mortgage.
Upon all the money wey Federal Government allocate to our Governors, I no sabi the thing
wey dem take the money do for our Obodo. Instead plenty of dem don share the money among
themselves and their cronies. This one no be lie o, I hear say plenty of our Leaders dem
especially the Governors dey buy properties yanfu yanfu for Obodo Oyinbo as if to say
tomorrow no dey. My source tell me say some Governors dem dey build mansions for
Washington Potomac, Chicago, Atlanta and some other cities for America. My source tell me
say there is this HighRise Condominum for Washington DC wey plenty rich people dey buy.
Dem talk say na only our People dem dey pay cash for the thing. These na flats wey each
one cost at least 1 Million Dollars (1.25 Billion Naira). Se una dey hear my fellow
obodians?
My people na so
una see am, I even hear say Governor for Central Bank talk say him no support the thing o.
This na person wey sabi our Economy well well. The man talk say the thing go cause super
Inflation for our Obodo but our Government dem no want hear that since plenty of dem sabi
where the money dey go. For example make I ask una this question, no be here una dey wey
our Comrade Governor Tiunbu borrow plenty money last year, the man don borrow another one
again o. Which person wey una think go pay that one when the Governor don comot? Na me and
una pikin go dey responsible. While the man and his family go dey chop our KUDI for
Washington DC.
As I want stop
here my people, I hope say some people wey get small good inside their body for Nigeria go
resist this yeye Federal Government bonus wey be say na our Politicians dem dey benefit
for the money. I don talk before, if God give me small money, all these Foreign
Instituitions na dem I go suit for Wordl Court. Small time dem go talk say our Country owe
money, una want tell me say with all the Technology wey dem get, dem no fit go after the
people wey wack the money? All these things na politics, these country wey dey borrow us
money, na there our so call Leaders wey be Traitors dey store the money. Na the thing wey
make Westerners look other side be that because the thing dey help their economy no our
own Nigeria.
The thing wey I go
say be say, all the people wey dey chop the money make dem continue, one day our Almighty
God/Allah go bring person wey go deal with all of dem.
August.22.2001
General President
Obasanjo Na Wa o
My people he don shele again o. This one happen for Murtala
International Airport. I hear from my source say State Security Service (SSS) no allow our
former Vice President Aikhomu go London last Monday. Dem say na jeje the man dey go, as he
enter Airport make he go give his Passport to Immigration make dem check am, na him One
State Security Service man tell am say he no fit go. The man come call his Oga for Phone
about the thing, na him dem tell am make he tell our ex Vice President say President
Obasanjo talk say he no fit comot the country. My people make una hear me o, I say dem
talk say our General Uncle Sege talk say the man no fit leave our Obodo go London.
Which kind yeye
thing wey our Country one start again wey person no fit comot him country because he no
support our President? I for understand if the man kill person or steal some money and he
want come run away. Dem talk say the man no fit comot because he dey involve for some
wahala wey happen for Edo State. The question be say even if the man dey involve, Where
our Police dey when all these things dey happen? Dem want tell me say our Police no sabi
their job again? I know say I no sabi law well well, but the thing be say wetin concern
the State Security Service for the thing? Se our General President and his Security
Operatives want tell me say we no get court wey go fit handle something like that? My
people, na the thing wey I dey talk about all these Khaki Boys wey dey call themselves
Politicians. That their yeye military behaviour still dey for their body. The thing wey I
no sabi for these people be say, na dem suppose to sabi law pass, but no be so, na dem dey
break am pass. Any time wey things no go their way na him that their were (craze) go come
out. Dem too dey think say the world revolve around dem too much. This na lesson to all of
una wey dey vote for Ex Military Leaders because dem carry bag of Gari and Rice give una.
Plenty of dem too dey behave like say dem don smoke Ganja. I hope say our next President
no go dey use him power when things no go his way. As for me o, I do talk say I no go ever
vote for person wey be Soldier before, plenty of dem no get respect for their fellow
humanbeings. No be lie I dey lie, if to say no be Gun and Boot wey dem dey wear, I fit
take plenty of dem one by one.
With all their
sakara, na only civilian dem fit handle. Why dem no fit win the war for Sierra Leone when
dem face people wey get guns like dem? Na only for Nigeria their power reach, when dem see
people wey dey tough pass dem, dem go run away.
Na here I go stop
my people, I hope this kind thing wey our yeye SSS and President Obansanjo do no go happen
again if our country go move forward. If to say na me be Aikhomu, na court I go carry dem
go. But if we think again, that man wey call himself Aikhomu no be better person. The man
dey reap the thing wey he sow. The man too don comit plenty attrocities to plenty
Nigerians when he dey for power as No 2 Citizen. I don talk am before, na NEMESIS,
everybody go get his own. Na the reason be say make we dey do good everytime be that. No
person sabi tomorrow. Se Aikhomu sabi say this kind humilation go happen to am? No, na so
he be o my fellow Obodians.
August.20.2001
Our Country No Go Better Until...
How una be my fellow Obodians, I hope una dey Kampe? Today the
thing wey I want tell una dey serious gan, and want make una think about am well well.
This thing dey before dem born me and he still dey as I dey talk to una. Situation for our
Obodo no go change unless we change our lifestyle for this country wey all of us call our
Papa Land.
The first question
wey I want ask una be say how many of una wey dey live for Nigeria no dey work for
Government? My people if to say I fit see una I go see say na only few go fit raise their
hands. Because for Nigeria plenty of us wey comot school no dey think say make we open our
own business. Instead na where we go fit thief plenty money na him we go dey plan. Na
everybody sabi say Government no dey pay good money, if want big salary, either you work
for Bank or Oil Company. But since that kind job no plenty, the next best thing na
Ministry. No be say dem dey pay plenty money but we know say we go dey command plenty
respect especially if na better Ministry we dey work. In other words for Ministry you fit
become Millionaire if you dey work where plenty contract dey . Na there you go see
Messengers wey get plenty houses for Lagos. This na our mentality for Obodo Nigeria,
plenty people no join Ministry because dem want help the Country, na how dem go take thief
money na him be the motor wey dey drive everybody for the place. From ordinary Messenger
to Permanent Secretary, na how much cut dem go get for that contract na him dem dey run
after.
The next question
be who be the largest Employer for Nigeria? Na all of us know say na our Government.
Instead wey our Leaders go create environment where people go fit open their own business,
na to steal the money na him be their goals. The money wey dem allocate for Ministry wey
go bring investors come our Obodo, the Leaders dem don send the thing to their Bank
Account for Zurich. Because of this, work wey dey around no dey plenty. As goverment want
reduce unemployment, dem go be force to hire people wey dem no need or want. Small time
you see people wey their names dey for payroll but dem no sabi where the Ministry gate
dey. As order come from Oga patapata make dem hire plenty people, the Director for
Personell don see that as opportunity wey he go fit thief money. The man go create plenty
ghost workers as him too want become millionaire. Na this kind thing dey make people dey
rush after Government work be that. Our Government dey too big. The money wey dem for use
to promote investment, na him dem go use pay ghost workers.
As for the few
ones wey get their own business, plenty of dem their business dey evolve goverment
Contract. Na everybody for Nigeria be General Contractors. People no dey open business for
nothing for our obodo. As soon as you hear say their friends or brothers don become
senators or Ministers, kia kia, all of dem don become Contractors because dem know say Ije
(food) don dey for dem be that. Na for Nigeria you go see people wey no sabi Medicine but
because of their Connection, dem go win Contract wey say make dem supply Medical Equipment
to all General Hospitals for our Obodo. How people no go die when everybody don sell their
soul to Mighty NAIRA? People wey open business do am for one reason, to thief money from
our Government. Everywhere you go na the same tory. People go do everything to become
Important for our Society. We believe for Nigeria say the only way wey you go make am for
business for Obodo be say our na our Government be your Customer. Na there you go get
contract, chop the money and no one go ask you why you no fit the project. Plenty Housing
Estates wey una see wey look like places wey dem dey keep Chicken, the contractor don chop
the money. And there is nothing our government fit do since the Government people behind
am no get clean hands for the thing.
Na all these
things dey cause wahala for our Obodo. Since our Government dey encourage am, how una
think people go change? Which time wey una see wey wey get good Government?
As I talk before,
the only thing wey go make our country better be say our Goverment must change. All this
yeye thing wey be say everybody na Government dem dey rely on must change. I dey beg our
Leaders say make dem make Ministry hard for all our people wey be say people no go dey
rely on am to survive. If Ministry or Government job no dey attractive, that go make
people start their own business. Na all those things fit turn our country around. As for
contract own, make dem do am so tay if you no finish your project you no dey get money.
Another thing be say make our Media dey involve, any project wey government award and the
company wey win am make dem publish am. If the people wey win the contract no finish am,
make dem arrest the criminals wey dey involve. He go good if dem make am law say if person
thief government money, na treason be that and the thing go cause the person life. I know
say I no get all the answers, but if we want make our country better, we must change our
ways and lifestyles. Na here I go stop my people, make una dey do jeje o.
August.17.2001
Councillors for
Akwa Ibom Want Eat Our State Dry
My people na me again o, how una dey, I hope una dey kampe.
Plenty of these our so call Politicians no dey ceast to amaze me my people (this na the
new oyinbo wey I learn from one University boy wey dey for our area). I don hear another
one o, and I know say plenty of una don hear am too. But for una wey no get Radio for
house or no get money take buy paper, this one na for una. No be Monday I hear say some
Barawos Councillors for Akwa Ibom dey blackmail the Governor. Dem talk am say if out
Governor no increase their salary, make the man kiss Election 2003 bye-bye. My people this
na the people wey dey run the affairs of our Local governmet o. Se una agree now say no be
only Men/Women of the Underworld be Thief, plenty of our Leaders dem be Ogbologbo for
crime. Na dem and the Robbers dey share our National Cake.
Make I ask una
this, una think say if una carry plenty money go this people office and dem come see am,
se una think una go leave that place alive? I no think so my people. I wonder wetin dem do
to the money wey Federal Goverment give their Local Goverment? How people wey we call our
caretaker go dey sakara our Governor say the man no go get their votes this coming
election? The question wey I want ask dem be say who tell dem say dem too go dey there
next time around self? Wetin make dey think say people go vote for dem again with all
these demands and pressure wey dem dey put for our state? But I thank God say the Governor
talk say he no dey listen to dem. My people this na my type of Governor o. I no dey listen
to una again, I know say plenty of una think the Governor too na Thief, but this time
around I support am 100%. At least he no give-in to those yeye Councillors wey be disgrace
to our state. Se na only these people dey for this world? Plenty of dem na to eat the
state and country dry na him make dem join politics. Na God go punish all of dem wey dey
thief our money. Make una see me se trouble o, una believe say plenty of these yeye people
no pay their staff salary up till now and dem want collect raise from our Governor. Una
see my people, se una see our politicians in action? If to say these Councillors no dey
selfish, how dem go dey ask for Salary Increase when plenty family wey dey work for dem no
get pay last month and the months before that. We don talk am before, I no know about
tomorrow o, but these people wey dey represent us now only sabi their own. Dem no care if
me and you no eat for a month, as long as their own pocket dey full for money.
My fellow
Obodians, na here I go stop, I hope say all my people for Akwa Ibom go remember these
Councillors dem next election. Make una count on me say all these people wey dey chop our
money, na all of dem names I go list during next Election. Make una dey do jeje o.
August.15.2001
Haba Judge, Wey Your Common Sense?
My people how una dey today, I hope una dey watch everything wey
dey happen around una? Another one don sele o, and na for Ekiti State I dey. Se una
remember early this year or so, wey we hear say our Government dey give people wey dey go
Mecca money? Plenty of una write me say una no support that kind thing especially when we
get plenty religions for our Obodo. Today own dey different small, I go even say this one
dey wohwoh pass the other one own.
No be last month
or so wey hear say one Governor dey take our money send some Politicians (Legislators) go
Jerusalem. He no tay wey the thing happen na him our Brother Lawyer Falana take the
Governors and his Barawo Legislators go Court. When I hear the thing, if una see as I jump
una go think say I don win Pool. But he no tay wey the thing go court na him we hear say
the yeye Judge talk say our Human Rights Lawyer no get case. The Ode/Mumu (Dumb) Judge
talk say since the Human Rights People no fit show say the thing go affect dem, Him dey
throw away am.
How the yeye Judge
think all those people wey don become Robbers take become am? If to say the few money wey
dem allocate our State our Leaders dem take am create work, some of these people go become
a better citizen. From there dem no go dey attack people like our Human Right Lawyer
Falana and the rest of us. So which kind case the Judge say we no get?
My people se una
hear? Where dem dey get this kind Judge and which School give am Law Degree self? How the
man take become Judge don pass me o. I no sabi this one, how person wey get sense go make
that kind judgement. Ordinary people, I dey talk about commoner like me wey no sabi book,
know say this one na common sense. How the man go talk say the money wey those Fraudsters
wey call themselves Politicians/Legislators want take go Jerusalem no go affect us? Se the
Judge dey go garage where plenty small Conductors dey as their Papa no fit find money send
dem school. Abi na Univesity Students wey no fit find Job since dem comot school na him
make we talk? Heh my people, where this yeye Judge dey when dem talk say 95% of our
Graduates no get work? Which kind constitution go talk say he dey ok make we use Public
money dey send people go Pilgrimage? If the thing dey, make dem burn am. Which kind yeye
thing be this my fellow obodians? The thing no gree me think self. We dey talk say work no
dey, plenty family no fit find food eat and the few money wey dey, our Leaders don spread
am around among themselves and their cronies dey take am dey feed their ugly faces. Se dem
want tell me say these Legislators no fit afford money go Jerusalem? The thing wey I no
sabi be say, wetin our people go benefit from this jounrney self? Today na Jerusalem,
Tommorow na Mecca, which time una go send some of us wey dey practice Traditional Religion
go Brazil? All this thing na waste of money I see am; and na this kind thing dey make
people think say our Leaders dem no care about our Obodo. Na only their own dem sabi.
Small time dem go talk say Federal Government no release their money, I dey pray say one
person wey close to Uncle Sege go see this my comment and go tell am. If to say na me be
am, I no go give that Governor and his cronies salary for one year. As be like say dem get
too much money for pocket. Dem lucky say I no dey work for that State, If to say na Ekiti
State I dey work and I come be civil servant, if dem no pay me salary na the Governor and
this Legislators na him I go take go court. And go beg the people make dem take my case go
that Fool wey call himself Judge Babalola court. I want hear the kind excuse wey the Wobia
go talk say I no get case. I no think say the Judge get common sense for upstairs. The
money wey he go chop no let am see beyond his nose.
I hope say our
Leaders dem go comot this kind Judge wey no dey apply common sense to law. My people make
una no surprise if the Judge hand no dey inside our Politicians Pocket. Small time time
una go hear say dem make the old fool Chief Judge. I hope say my people go remember who be
their friends for 2003. The so call Legislators and Governors na 419 in disguise.
Na here I go stop
my people, make una no allow these kind people hijack our freedom and Democray o.

Poverty Dey Breed Plenty Babies
How dey go dey go my fellow Obodians, I hope una enjoy the
weekend? As for me o, I no too enjoy am as my pocket get hole. Anyway sa, he go better one
day.
Na wa for us for
Obodo Nigeria o. We dey complain say we dey surfer but that one no disturb our Pikin
Factory. No be this weekend my source for one local Newspaper talk say the new Population
Data Sheet when dem just release for Obodo America talk say our population for Nigeria don
reach 127 Million. Dem talk say na we be the 10th Populous Country for the world. Haba, as
plenty people dey complain say Men of Underworld no let dem rest for Night, plenty of dem
na so so Poi Poi dem dey take relieve the pressure. Wetin be this? Imam/Pastor you want go
sell dem? Dem talk say plenty people for Third World Countries na so so sex dem dey do for
Night. As rich Nations dey get better na so we for developing countries dey produce Pikin
yanfu yanfu.
Na him want make
me ask our expert for Nigeria this quetion because I no understand the thing at all at
all. How people wey fit afford plenty pikin dey get few why we wey poor pass church rat
and no fit afford am go dey born pikin like say we get Children shop for Jankara? This
thing make me remember one uncle wey I get for London. Twelve years ago wey the man come
home I come go visit am. When I reach him house I see say the man and his wife na two
pikin dem get. As una know say me I get big mouth, nothing wey I see wey me no go talk. Na
him I come ask am say why him no bring all his pikin come home? The man talk say se bi na
dem dey outside dey play as I no sabi before say na two the man get. I come follow him
answer with another question say as he get money so why be say na only two he born? The
man come laugh, he ask me say where I want make he tey get the money? He come talk say
besides, him no get that kind time wey him go dey pursue him wife when people dey look how
dem go take survive. The man come tell me say him dey shock say I no get pikin because
plenty people for Nigeria na to make babies na him be their past time. He come talk say se
I no know say na person wey no get work and money na him dem born pikin pass. When the man
talk am, I tell myself say he be like say this oyinbo country don dey turn this man head
o. How person wey no get money go born plenty pikin, how he go take feed dem? I come tell
the man say I no sabi that one o. He come talk say make I listen. He say person wey dey
work and dey dey busy every time no go get time for sex because by the time wey he go
reach him house he don tire. And if him wife too come get better work or business all
those wahala go don make am tire by the time wey reach house for night. Plenty of these
people, the husband and his wife no too dey see each other. But for person wey no get job
and he come dey poor, him and his wife go dey see each other plenty time. Every time wey
hungry catch am like this and he come see Iya Bonboy for house, wetin I think say go
happen next? The man talk say na person wey no dey busy go get time for sex. Na the thing
wey make poor people dey get plenty pikin be that.
My people that
time I hear the man but I still no sabi the thing wey he talk untill I come reach house
come look around my street wey be say I know say plenty of us wey dey live for the area
money and us no dey meet. But na so so Naming Ceremony and Christening you go dey hear
every day. Na that time the thing come make sense to me. If you reach our area, he go be
like say na Baby factory you dey as you go dey hear yan yan yan for night.
My people na so
una hear am o, wetin we go come do? We dey complain say food no dey plenty, the way wey
our country dey go, make una no dey surprise if our population reach 500 Million by 2040
and 85 of dem na gari be their staple food. I pray say this poverty wey don take control
of our Obodo go stop and our Leaders dem go create plenty work for us so we no go fit get
time for Poi every time wey we see our wife dem. Na here I go stop my people, I hope say
all of us go look at our pocket before we ask Hajia Silifat/Mama Ronke/Mama Ngozi make she
come inside come rub our back. As the country dey so, we no fit support one more
Pikin, please make una think before una do am if we no become like our Brethens dem for
Somalia

South West Governors Want Hijack Election
How una dey my
fellow Obodians? Make una no worry, one day sa our Country go better.
Another wuruwuru want sele
o my people, and na our South West Governors one start am. No be last week I hear say the
Wayo Governors dem dey talk say dem go support Uncle Sege if the man agree say his party
no go contest for South West area. Before before, una believe say plenty of these
Governors dem dey among the ones wey I think dey try for our people. As I know say he no
dey easy to rule for this our Obodo. Na so everybody go dey talk say wey my own?
As I dey talk before, this
new thing wey I hear I hope say no be so dem talk am. Make we look at the thing well well
self. Which kind deal dem want make for our people? I understand say the man na our Yoruba
brother and he dey do him best. But one thing wey I no sabi be say, se make we vote for
person because he come from our area, abi because the man na him be best candidate? My
people una sabi say plenty of these governors dem study for Obodo Oyinbo, dem want tell me
say this kind thing dem fit try am for those places? Na one of the things wey I no like
about our people wey read for Oyinbo country be that. Make una listen my fellow Obodians
well, anytime wey something no favour dem, dem go talk say our people no sabi anything. Na
so you go hear dem dey talk say for Britain na so dem dey do this, and for America na so
dem dey do that. But when dem sabi proper say this one go benefit dem, that their yeye
rule go just dissapear like that. Na mee you go hear. Una no go hear a word from dem. Me I
call those kind people "OPPORTUNISTS" as Oyinbo people dey say. If una call una
self opponents why una go dey make wayo deal wey go put our democracy for shame. Na the
thing wey I go call the biggest Wayo be that for this new Millennium. If una think say una
dey do better work, why una dey worry una self about that kind thing. Unless the money wey
una take they build houses for America na from our Treasury una thief am. He be like say
all those sakara wey these Governors dey talk say South West na for AD na empty boast,
doubt don dey crawl for dat their corny corny head.
My people, this no be
joking matter o, this kind thing wey these people want start no dey good for our country
at all at all. Una see my people, Non Yoruba wey talk say we Yorubas too dey play
tribalism no lie for here o. If to say na Notherners talk say dem want make that kind deal
with Hausa President, na so you go hear our Pro Democracy group go dey yell foul and talk
say Notherners want dominate Nigeria. Where dem dey now? Una want tell me say dem no dey
for this our Obodo? If to say na Overseas dem dey, I sabi say dem dey read news for
Internet. This kind silence make me wonder if these our Pro Democracy Groups no be Ethnic
Organizations self.
My people as I go stop
here, I hope our President go reject that kind wayo for the sake of our young Democracy.
If these people agree for this kind wayo, I hope say our Anti-Graft Commission go go
arrest dem for bribe because na the thing wey dem dey call Government Sanction Corruption
be that. Make una dey do jeje o as una reject all these wayo deals wey our Leaders want
put on us.

Whch Kind Crazy Person Dey Make Those Yeye Virus
Self?
How una dey my people, I hope una dey manage? Una no talk say una
no hear from me this pass monday. Na this yeye computer Virus o. Na jeje I sit down for
office wey one boy for our office talk say I get message for my computer. As I open the
thing I come see say na of my friends for Bank na him send am. As I open the thing I read
am wey the bobo dey talk say make I advise for something. Since una no say for our Office
na me be Oga Adviser for everybody. Whether na person wey her husband no dey sleep for
house o or na man wey just see omoge wey he like, na me dem go come talk to about the
thing. With all this adviser self I no sabi why me no fit find woman for Lagos. I guess
say the Omoges don see for my face say I no get kobo for pocket. If dem marry me, na
hunger go kill dem. As I dey talk before my people, na him I come see something wey look
like paper clip for the message I come ask one of the secretary for our office wetin the
man want make I do with the clip. Which kind thing be this now? Na him the girl come talk
say na attachment dem dey call am. He say na message dey inside the paper clip. Which kind
Invention wey Oyinbo never try self? This one don pass me o, how the message take enter
paper clip I no sabi o. Sebi dem talk say nothing wey fit enter needle mouth, how this
people come do am now? Anyway sa, I come no fit open the thing. Na him I come send message
to my friend for bank say the message wey he send I no fit open am. Small time the man
come write me say no be him write am. To caught my tory short, before I know, everytime
wey I want open document my computer go tell me say he need SirC32.exe before he go fit
open am. As una sabi say I no finish Standard Six for school, how go come manage with this
box wey dey call computer? Na him I come go call one of those computer boys for office
make dem come see me see trouble o. Na him the boy come talk say na Virus. My people if
una see how I be when the bobo talk say na virus na him my computer get, una go laugh me.
I come ask the bobo say how the thing go get am when no be say I dey sick myself? Besides,
even If I dey sick, how the computer go get am when dem talk say no be person dey inside
am? Na him the boy come tell me tory about the thing.
My people some
people dey craze for this world o. I dey talk about mad wey don pass Jankara market for
Lagos. How people go dey manufacture virus for computer when plenty Doctor dey look for
cure for disease? The reason why our Doctors dem no fit go talk to this people I no sabi.
If this people fit dey create this kind thing, before you know dem go create computer wey
go dey take our omoges. Na wa o, this Oyinbo people don pass me o. Which kind brain wey
get for Africa self? All those juju wey dey take harm people, why we no fit turn am and do
something positive for our race. Which kind head we get for Africa wey be say na to
destroy our own kind na him we sabi pass. Na the thing wey dey kill our society be that,
he for better if plenty African Leaders go put money where our pikin dem go fit develop
their brain, instead na to spend the money on their concubines and buy motor na him dem
sabi. I don talk am before, all these our so call Leaders dem be cause on us. Na to chop
the Continent dry na him be their mottor.
Anyway sa I no
leave una. Me I dey go enjoy for Beer Parlor , make una take am easy o.

Oputa Panel: Why Our Past Leaders Dey Afraid?
Thank God Friday don come.
How una dey my fellow Moslems, I hope una dey go Mosque go pray to our Papa Allah? Na only
person wey open his heart go see his grace. Since we dey talk about repentance, wetin I
dey hear about our past Leaders wey no want appear for Oputa panel? I even hear say Uncle
Sege wey be our President talk say if dem ask am make he appear him no go hesitate. My
people, who be our past Leaders wey no want appear for the place when person wey be
current President no get problem for the thing? He even talk say he go go if dem ask am
again. Una see my people? Plenty people for our Obodo get big ego wey pass Olumo Rock, the
reason why dem no want go the place I no sabi.
I even hear some people wey
talk say since dem be past Head of States, make Justice Oputa and his Panel go meet dem.
My people all that na nonsense. If their hands dey clean why dem no go tell dem side of
the story. Unless dem no get tory wey people go believe. The question wey I want ask
people wey talk so be say why we dey concern about these people wey one finger no too
enter their yansh when dem dey power? Which kind respect we dey give these people when dem
no respect our Constutution? How dem take reach power, no be by force? If dem no respect
us and our country, why we go dey worry about dem? Alhough I sympathesis with General
Buhari because the people wey him overthrow want eat our country dry. If to say General
Babangida and his cronies no comot dem, Nigeria for don better. All this yeye behaviour
wey plenty of us dey see for road we no fit try am during Buhari regime. But the only bad
thing about his regime be say, dem no respect people rights.
Make I continue with my
tory, whether person be former Head of States or na commoner like me as long as say the
person na Nigerian, he must obey the law of our Papa Land. Una want tell me say all the
attrocities wey these people comit against their fellow Nigerians no mean anything? Why we
no let the people wey dem kill their family be the Judge, plenty of us too dey do Mr and
Mrs Too Know, he dey easy for us, why we no go talk; sebi no be us dem kill his family
with bomb. Plenty of us for Nigeria too sabi our own. Some of these yeye supporters na
their own neck dem dey protect. Dem dey afraid say their own secret and attrocities fit
come out. Under our law everybody dey equal, if our past Leaders hands dey clean I no sabi
why dem no want clear their conscience unless their accusers dey right.
I beg my people I no want
hear that tory say because dem be Past Head of states he no go good make dem appear. These
people for don think about that when dem dey send assasin go kill their fellow humanbeings
because dem want remain for power for life.
Na here I go stop my
people, I hope this go teach some of us wey think say we be God when we reach positon of
power. Nothing last forever, make sure say you do good when it reach your turn.

Government Deal With GSM Providers Na Joke
Nigeria hail thee my brother.
How una dey cope my fellow Obodians, I hope una dey take am easy o? Una don hear say the
two GSM Providers wey talk say dem go start wireless next week don release their price?
Dem talk say the connection fee go cost between 15,000 Naira and 20,000 Naira, plus the
person go dey pay 4000 Naira every month for access. As for the minute own, that one go
cost about 35 Naira. Osanobua! I guess say people like me wey don plan say him too go dey
carry the thing dey do yanga for our area, the yeye people don kill my dream be that.
Where dem want make poor people like me get the money? Sebi I hear say for other African
Countries, plenty Barbers and Cleaners for road dey use am, where dem take get the money?
Na wa for Nigeria, my source tell me say for other African countries Mobile Phone no dey
expensive. Him talk say na the reason wey plenty of those people fit afford am be that.
The question then be say
which kind magomago wey those country government do with Wireless Providers wey our
Leaders dem no fit arrange that one with the one wey dey here? Which kind government wey
we get for this our Obodo self? He be like say these people wey dey rule our country dem
no too like commoners like me o. Why be say dem no dey put us for mind when dem dey do
their mago mago? I even hear say that yeye Government organization wey dem call National
Communication Commission (NCC) na dem approve the thing? My people make I ask una
something, why be say anytime wey our government dey look for people wey go head some of
this yeye Panel self, dem no dey include poor people like me? When dem know say the
decision go affect everybody especially we wey be commoners, why dem no fit put us for the
panel? If to say people like me dey there when those GSM Providers carry their rate come,
sebi I for don check my pocket and tell dem say no be here una go dey charge this kind
price. My people, una know say I for don tell dem make dem carry the thing comot my face.
But our Leaders dem no get that kind sense, since the money wey dem go take buy am na from
our Treasury dem thief am, wetin una expect from dem? Una know say dem no care if people
like us get am. Even self as plenty of us sabi, rich people for Nigeria no too dey like
make we dey compete with dem. I know say dem no want dey see poor people like us dey carry
the thing around like dem, because dem want people to know say na dem be it. Wonder no dey
end for our Obodo self, and plenty of our leaders dey talk say dem want improve
communication na the reason why dem sell the licence be that. But the question now be say
how much we dey get for salary wey go dey pay 20,000 for Mobile Phone? Se na that yeye
7500 Naira wey plenty people dey get for work na him dem go dey comot 4000 Naira every
month because dem want dey talk to their mama for village? Na him be say after we don buy
phone, make we just put am under our leg so the thing go carry us reach work. Abi, how we
go take pay for Molue and Danfo when we don take our money buy phone? Wife and pikin still
dey o, how we go tay feed dem? My fellow obodians, I guess that our premature dream no go
come alive o.
The only way wey plenty
Nigerians go fit buy am be say if we dey put some money for bank, and by year 2010, our
money go reach. Na here I go stop my people, I guess say our Leaders dey take style tell
us say if we want dey use Mobile Phone make we move go Burkina Faso.

Objectivity Palava
My People we
thank God say our National Team win for football. Now we fit tell that yeye boy wey come
from Liberia, wetin be him name self- Weah, make he go sit down for one corner dey cry.
Any way sa today no be the day wey I go yab am.
I receive one letter
from our countryman. Make una read the man letter with him Oxford grammar. When una
finish, una go see my comment about the thing wey the man talk. Enjoy am.
I wonder why
Nigerians are not very objective when it comes to selling Nigeria to the rest of the
world. I want a country where I'll not be introduce as a Yoruba man or Hausa man or an
igbo man. These differences is what is pulling the country back. You can always read
sentiment in whatever write-up that comes from Nigeria. Let's bury our difference and put
Nigeria where she belongs. After all it is the geographical entity that makes the country
great not the individual ethnic groups.Sit up and push the country forward and stop
wasting your time promoting an ethnic group that the world does not care about.
I hope say una enjoy
the thing wey the man talk for the letter.Wetin una think, una no think say he dey take
style yab me? As for me o, I not too like am. As una sabi say me I no too sabi grammar, na
one pikin wey dey work for our office na him I say make he read the thing for me.
For begining na praise I dey praise the bobo. I talk say if to say everybody wey dey for
Nigeria dey reason like this, our country go don better. He no tay wey I praisy the bobo,
na him the boy for our office read the last two lines for me. My fellow obodians, I know
say no be me dey smart pass for our village, but I sabi when person dey yab me. He be like
say the yeye bobo dey take style dey tell me say I dey tribal. Wetin he mean say make I
"sit up and stop dey promote one ethnic group"?
Una know say I no
talk say I dey perfect but the thing wey I sabi be say that tribalism wey the bobo say I
dey promote no be true. I no think say one ethnic group dey wey me I never yab for this
our Forum. I don talk about Hausa, Yoruba, Ibo, even the so call minority, na all of dem
don see my saliva for their head. So my fellow Nigerians, I no sabi the ethnic group wey
the man say I dey promote. He good make person dey look him facts well well before he
talk.
Na God I take beg
the man, make him read all the thing wey I don write for this forum. If the man fit prove
say I dey favour one tribe pass the other, my name no be Pa Omugo. We try hard make we dey
neutral for this place. I know for sure say the Oga patapata for our Company hate
tribalism with passion. He even dey for our company code of conduct say dem go sack you if
you play tribalism for this work. I hope say the man no take our comment on the past
government say we no like one group. That no be our thinking o. Na person wey dey wrong na
him we dey yab, I know care where the person or the group come from, if dem do yeye thing
or spoil our country name my mouth go rain saliva on them.
Na here I go stop,
make una dey do jeje o.
July.27. 2001
New Day For Nigeria : More Heads Dey Roll For
Commission Report
My people se una think say na Nigeria we dey wey all this things
wey dey happen? I no think say I go see time wey our Leaders dem go dey cough out all the
chop money wey dem don wack. Se una don hear say the Cocoa Export Levy and Cocoa Buffer
Stock Funds Commission Inquiry wey our beloved Uncle Sege form last year don come out with
their report o? I hear say all the people wey chop money, dem don refer their case to
Ministry of Justice and Nigeria Police Force. Na him be say plenty of these Barowos dem go
pay a visit to our Monumnetal Complex for Kirikiri. Una sabi say dem talk say all the
small fry wey dey involve too dem go pack dem go visit Malari Land. Na wa my people, I
guess make I call my friends dem for CBN as dem talk say plenty of dem dey for this mago
mago scheme.
My people make I
tell una secret, una sabi say this kind thing wey dey happen dey make happy small inside.
No be say I dey happy my friends go spend time for Prison. But I don talk am before,
person wey help chop money must dey ready for judgement if the thing turn for him head.
All these surfer surfer wey plenty of our pikin dem dey face, na this Wobia dem cause am
for us. I no think say I go lose sleep if dem put my friends for Jail, na the food wey dem
chop na him want carry dem go the place. I no dey like make person dey take the thing wey
no belong to am.
As for the Leaders
dem wey dey involve, for their sake I hope no be say na their girl friends chop the money
o. Because the kind money wey dem talk say make dem return no be small my people. I no
sabi where dem go get am since una know say plenty of our people no dey see money for
face. Na so dem go dey spend am like say there is no tomorrow. Person wey no fit return
the money, I hear say him punishment go dey double o. I dey hear from my source say our
Government go award dem lifetime membership for Kirikiri. Huuh, that na death, I hope say
this go teach plenty of our leaders dem lesson say dem fit run but dem no fit hide. Small
time, judgement day go come as my Neighbour Mama Mary dey talk for Bible Study.
As usual, the oga
patapata for the thing na Soldiers. Make I ask una something my fellow Nigerians. Why be
say our Service men for Nigeria na long throat plenty? Una want tell me say na the thing
wey dem dey teach dem for Defence Academy be that? He be like say soon dem wear that
uniform, all the home training wey their mama put for their head and the advice wey their
papa give dem go just dissapear like that. Na to thief money na him dem sabi. Na wa o, the
people wey swore say dem go defend and hold our country together na dem be oga for
corruption.
My people no
offence to our good Military Men, he go good if dem just scrap their oat as plenty of
their members just dey make fool of am left and right. How person wey call himself Officer
for Military, na him go be Oga patapata for Jibiti.
Na true say our
Military dem need head orientation. I hope say the people wey dey teach the thing go
include orientation for magnet hands. Because this our soldier case don pass head
orientation o. Even if their head dey say make dem no take money, their yeye hands go dey
say se 5 million Naira dey enough?
Na here I go stop
my people, I hope say the message wey our government dey send our country men and women go
stick inside that our dubious heads.
July.25. 2001
Small Small Mask Don Comot Our Barawo Leader Faces
Una don
hear my fellow Obodians? I hear say the commission wey Uncle Sege create make dem check if
some our past Leaders use wayo thief goverment land and properties don release their
findings. Plenty of our so call Leaders dey among the Oleh wey dey smile for our face for
morning and come take wuruwuru take our property for night.
No be yesterday I
read am for paper say the commisson talk say make the Onyeochi dem return all the
properties wey dey their possesions. Plenty of the people na real Power that be dem o.
Plenty key players for Abacha government dey for the thing, ex-Lt.-Gen. Oladipo Diya,
Vice-Admiral Mike Akhigbe, Alhaji Lateef Jakande, Lt.-Gen. Ishaya Bamaiyi and Dr. Walter
Ofonagoro.
Plenty of these
people dem I no too dey surprise because na all of us sabi say na professional Rogue and
robbers we get for Military dem no be Professional Service Men. I never see one military
person especially officers dem wey no get long throat. As for Alhaji Jakande, me I dey
disappoint say the man go yeye the reputation wey he build during our Papa Awo time. Which
kind property the thing be self wey the man no fit say no? The man and Dr Walter Ofonagoro
na jakuda wey don forget the home wey dem take comot. I remember the adage for Yoruba land
wey talk say I go rather become a slave before I go become barawo wey dey take things wey
no belong to am. All those civilians wey dey for the list, una be disgrace for una people.
As for Lt General Diya, how the man take dey waka for Odogbolu self? The last thing wey
Ijebu person go be na to fewo (thief). I guess say the man don forget say Ijebu man wey
thief na disgrace to him family and town. The man just spoil the respect wey people get
for Ijebu people wey Papa Awo build.
My fellow
Nigerians una see how life be now? These people think say as dem take the thing, no person
for our Obodo fit ask dem make dem return am. I hope say our government no go stop there
o. If we dey talk say make small pikin no dey thief, na big crime if these leaders dem
escape kirikiri time.
This na my
judgement, if Uncle Sege mean business about this his anti graft thing, na these people
make he take teach people lesson. I hope no be say since plenty of dem na power that be,
dem no go taste kirikiri life for at least 15 years with hard labour. If to say person no
be real jakuda, how you go make Government properties your own? I no sabi that one o. If
our government no put these people for Prison, na God/Allah I take beg our Judges dem make
dem release all criminals wey no kill person for our Obodo. Make dem come tell dem say
anytime wey dem want rob make dem go after our Leaders dem wey thief Government money and
properties. As dem dey talk for United Nations Chapter, all of us dey equal under the law
of the land. This na treason as I understand am. If our government dem no fit arrest the
traitors, make we kuku dabaru the whole thing make everybody find his way.
Na here I go stop
my people, make una continue dey watch the thing wey our Government Leaders go do to these
Gbewiri dem. I know say plenty leaders still dey wey the arm of the government no catch
because dem get Godfathers for the place. Small time, their protectors go comot and we go
come see the chicken yansh as he dey open. One last thing my fellow Obodians, make una no
let person tell una say him Papa get money for Nigeria o. That one na big fat lie because
no Rich Peson for our Obodo wey no do wuruwuru before he get money. Se na Abacha pikin or
Babangida dem go tell you say their papa get money? Ask dem which factory their papa build
for Nigeria wey dey bring dem money? And if to say dem get factory make dem explain how
their papa take get the money wey him take build the business? Dem no go fit tell you.
Every rich person for Nigeria na Big Barawo and their time go soon come.
July.23. 2001
Plenty Of Our Politicians Na Hooligans and Killers
How una dey my
people? I hope say una dey kampe? He don happen for Edo State. I hear say some hooligans
go attack FDN members where dem dey have meeting for Benin area. My people, wetin our
country come turn to wey be say you no fit start or join a political party wey you like if
you no want make dem send killers or hooligans to your house? Why be say military time
want better the democracy time wey plenty people die for? Plenty of the people wey dem
attack na members of FDN Poltical Party wey our former military Vice President Admiral
Augustus Aikhomu (rtd) and some people start. He be like say our people don dey craze o.
If dem fit attack former vice president people wetin that mean to plenty of us wey no get
power for our Obodo? Person wey dey send Hooligans and Killers to his opponent, him too no
dey different from the people wey he send. "He takes one to know one" as Oyinbo
people dey talk
The thing wey I no
sabi be say se na by force person dey join party? If people say dem no want join PDP, PPP
and AD, I believe say dem get that right. This kind thing wey be say our Leaders dem go
dey send Hooligans and Hire Killer make dem go attack their opponent don pass politics o.
The thing wey I no sabi be say if you think say you dey good and you dey sure of your
program, why you no fit run your campagn base on that instead wey you want eliminate your
opponents one by one? This kind politics wey be say plenty of our Politicians wey call
themselves Interllectuals go dey send killers go attack their opponent don pass me o.
I hear say some
people dey talk say na Edo State Governor and his PDP dey behind the thing. If to say na
true, the man should be ashame of himself. You mean say the man as a governor no get
better thing for his state wey be say na the people wey go run against am for 2003 he go
dey send Hooligans after? I guess say the man no get better program for his state wey he
fit run on. Na person wey dey weak and no dey sure of his capabilities na him dey do this
kind thing. Plenty of these people wetin make dem think say dem go dey alive self when
2003 come? This kind thing wey dem want start dey dangerous? Who ever dey advice dem for
this kind behaviour make he tell dem make dem stop o before there is all out war for Edo
State. I no think dem remember say we be minority for Nigeria, na look the majority people
go dey look wey we go kill ourselves finish before dem intervene. Our Leaders don forget
say we no be threat to our Obodo. Dem go talk say if Edo people kill themselves, that na
one group wey dem no go dey worry about be that.
If to say our
Local Politicians no be foolish people se na this kind thing dem go dey spend energy for
when plenty of our area still dey underdevelop? If una kill una selves finish, which
people go help us develop the state? Se na our Yoruba Brethrens we go run to abi na our
Ibo Brethrens? Make una think before una do am o?
I beg, na God I
take beg una make una think before una start dey send Hooligans and Killer to una self.
Remember say the person wey no get power today fit get am tomorrow and him no go forget
the thing wey you do am. As Oyinbo people dey talk am, "what goes around comes
around". Some people go say na the bad thing wey our former Vice President do in the
past when he dey for power na him he dey get the reward. The question be say if una sabi
so, why una no fit learn from that say the table too fit turn tommorrow? I guess be say
plenty of us we no too dey think about the future, and na him dey make us behave like say
there is no tommorow.
As I talk before,
if you dey sure of yourself and program you no go dey send Hooligans after your Opponent.
Why you go dey afraid if you think say you do right by your people? I guess the money wey
you hide for Obodo Oyinbo na him you no want make another government bring out for all of
us wey be your people to see. LET YOUR DEED BE YOUR VOICE & THE JUDGE.
Na here I go stop
my people, make una take am jeje o.

PDP Women Don Dey Kolo (Craze)
My people he don
sele for Lagos. This thing wey we call democracy don tun some people head o. All because
of the kind power the thing go bring dem.
No be yesterday I
hear say some politicians wey be women for Lagos dey vex. Dem talk say plenty of dem dey
vex with their Party National Vice Chairman Commodore Olabode George. I hear say the man
no respect dem. From the thing wey I hear, dem talk am say the man ask him boys (dundy
United) make dem detain the women and their supporters for Prison. I know say the thing
wey dem say the man do if to say na true dey bad. The thing wey I no sabi be say the
people wey the man ask make dem put these women for Prison se na him own Personal Police
abi na waiting? Make una correct me o if I dey wrong. No be say our President talk say he
no go allow States Police for our Obodo? Which time dem come start Personal Police Force
(PPF)? I no sabi say the yeye behaviour wey those khaki boys dey perform when dem dey for
power still dey o? If to say I be the women family na all the Police people wey dey
responsible for the thing na dem I go ask my Lawyers make he charge for court. Especially
when the women themselves no be poor people like me. As we sabi say for our Obodo person
wey never belle full no dey join politics. The women go get some money for pocket. Even
self I no sabi (make una pardon me for this because I no too dey like the idea) why these
women dem no fit use their womanhood for the yeye Soldier man wey dey live in the past?
Dem for let am no say na women dey rule this world at least for our Obodo.
That one don do
for the man own, as una see say I no support the kind thing wey the man do to dem. But the
thing wey dabaru my hear na the thing wey I hear say the women go do if the man no
apologize to dem. My fellow Obodians make una hear this o. I hear say the women say if the
man no apologize, dem go go him house go dey protest naked for the place. Una no hear me
my people? I say the women talk say dem go go dey protest for the man house naked without
any cloth for Seven days . Una no think say the women dem the beating wey the man give dem
don turn their head? How person go say she dey vex and come go person wey she dey vex with
house and dey protest without her cloth? Una no think say dem don dey kolo small? Which
person wey dey advice these people self? Small time una go hear say dem nominate dem as
our Ministers. Shei shei, we don die for this country. Na these kind people want rule our
country? I no sabi the thing wey that one go do to the man wey dem dey vex with? I hope no
be say na the reason wey the man say make dem detain dem be that because he be like say he
remain small for dem? People wey want go person house go open their yansh for public go
dey craze.
Na God I take beg
their family say make dem advice dem before dem go make fools of themselves o. If dem want
make the man apologize no be this kind wey dem go take get am. If dem do am, na dem go be
laughing stocks for the area. Even self since I get some moral for body, if these women do
am, I hope say the Police go charge dem for court for INDECENCY, as Oyinbo people dey call
am.
Na here I go stop
my people I take God beg una, before una do anything make una think real hard before una
do am o.

Emir Of Ilorin Don Cause Katakata
How dey go dey go my
people? Katakata want happen for Ilorin between Yoruba and Fulani/Hausa people. As the
thing dey go so if our government no find solution to the thing now, make una just forget
about the country dey call Nigeria.
I no go lie to una make I
say I sabi the real person wey cause this wahala. But the thing wey I sabi be say our
current Emir no do am well at all. Wetin happen to that old believe wey be say our Oba,
Emir and Obi na father figure to all his subjects and if wahala want happen between his
subjects he go find ways wey he go take resolve the thing. And he go do am so tay all the
people wey dey involve go thing say na dem right. But this our Emir for Ilorin too dey
play that yeye thing wey dey kill our society- Tribalism. Na the kind thing wey you go see
when people dey take money buy throne be that. Nowadays for our Obodo, plenty people wey
dey for position of power whether dem be President o, Senator, Minister, Chairman,
Managing Director even some of our Kings, na through bribe plenty of dem dey take reach
the position. Why we no dey give post to people wey we no say dem go move our
country/state/city/town/village forward instead na the person wey get money pass na him we
go talk say the kingmakers choose?
Sometimes we go even lie
say na Oracle or Koran select dem. He don tay wey this wahala dey brew for Ilorin but for
some reason our so call Leaders pretend like say dem no dey live for the country. This
palava I don talk about am before when I hear say Emir for Ilorin join Arewa Group. Why
person wey know say plenty of his subjects na Yoruba and he go go join one particular
Ethnic group. The Emir no do am well at all. The thing wey I no sabi be say which kind
advisors dey advise the King self wey be say plenty of his decision no dey in line with
person wey we consider Papa of everybody? Him no dey see the rest of Emirs, Obis and Obas
wey senior am? Take the Emirs of Kano and Kaduna, I no remember ever see dem make dem join
politics because dem respect themselves. Na the kind Leaders wey we want be that. Dem know
say all the people wey dey live for their city, whether na Hausa, Yoruba, Fulani, Ibo,
Tiv, Ijaw, Itsekiri, all of dem na their pikin. Na the way wey king wey get wisdom dey
behave be that. No be all this so call King/Emir/Oba/Obi/ wey be say dem too dey leap
before dem look. I no care which part of the country our Obi/Oba/Emir come from, he go
good if dem treat everybody wey dey live for their place the same whether the person na
from their tribe or not.
As for the solution he go
good if our Leaders dem go ask for our major Emirs, Obas, and Obi make dem get involve.
Our Emir from Kaduna, Kano, Sokoto, Maiduguri, Minna, our Oba from Ile-Ife, Ibadan, Ijebu
Ode, Lagos, Benin, Akure, our Obi/Igwe from Onitsha, Asaba, Enugu, Port Harcourt, and Aba.
All of dem na our Fathers and na only dem go fit solve the thing.
Another solution wey me as
Dr for School of Democracy go talk be say make dem ask all the people wey come from Ilorin
make dem vote whether dem want make our Emir for Ilorin dey rule dem or if dem want their
own Oba. I know say plenty people no go like the thing but as the current Emir don choose
his path, I no go blame dem if other tribe no want am make him continue to rule dem. The
thing wey I no sabi be say why our Historians no tell us the people wey dey right. If to
say na true Ilorin belong to the Yorubas, make the man vacate the position se na by force
person dey take rule?
But my people whether na
our Kings dem we go ask make dem get involve or if to say na through democracy, the thing
wey I go say be say, he go good if we resolve am quick before the thing cause katakata for
our Obodo. Hausa/Fulani and Yoruba are two of the largest ethnic groups for our Obodo, if
we no want witness another Burundi, our Leaders must find a solution to am NOW.
Na here I go stop my
people, I hope say perople wey dey for position power go read my comment and dem go share
am with our Leaders.

Wetin Dey Wrong With Our Muslim Brethrens For
South?
How una weekend my fellow Obodians, I
hope say una enjoy am? Me I no fit say the same thing as hungry no gree me as I no get
money for pocket. The thing wey I want talk today don dey bother me since only be say I no
too dey remember. But today wey I remember na him I say make I say am before I forget
again. But I know say plenty of my Yoruba people wey be Muslim no go too like am but that
one no go stop me as I go always talk truth.
My fellow Obodians how many of una wey
get friends wey be Musllim sabi her Muslim name? And the few of una wey sabi the name dey
call am by that? I know say una no plenty. Na the same thing with my so call Muslim
friends especially the women dem. Plenty of dem as dem become sisi dem no want make people
dey call dem by their muslim names. I sabi some women wey be say their Papa na big Imam
for Mosque but the pikin no want anything with their Muslim names. If you ask dem wetin be
their names? Plenty of dem go give you their adopted names wey be say their papa no sabi.
And the few ones wey dey use am either because their Imam papa go disown dem if dem bear
other names other than their muslim names or dem go make am sound arabic. Make una no get
me wrong o, their still plenty of dem wey dey proud of their religion and names but the
problem be say dem no too plenty. And some of dem wey dey use the names you go think ssay
dem no be Yoruba again as dem don turn the thing to Arabic. Na so so Ziouqrat instead of
Sikiratu or Abdul Kareem instead of their Yoruba pronounciation Abudulahi. I know one
woman wey her name na fatimo but if you call am that she go tell you say you be
illiterate. One day she told me say na only person wey no go school go dey call am that.
She say her name na Fatimat. I come ask am say where he dey for Yoruba book wey letter
"T" dey end word? The woman no sabi say I still remember the thing wey my Yoruba
teacher teach me for class. Although I no too sabi the thing because na F9 gadaba the man
give me.
The thing wey I no sabi be say you get
some of dem wey don go Mecca plenty times and dem no want make you call Alhaji or Alhaja
with their muslim names. The question be say which kind muslim dem be self? How una no go
dey proud of una religion? Why be say plenty of us too dey dey ashame of our names? Our
other Southerners too dey guilty of this only be say their own no too plenty. I sabi some
of my Ibo brethren wey no want people call them by their Ibo names. Na soso Jeremiah,
Clement, Cordelia and Florence you go dey hear. Dem no want make you call them Okechukwu,
chukwudi, Ngozi and chukwuma.
My people na this kind thing cause the
condition wey we find ourselves now for our Obodo because we no too dey appreciate our
own. No be this kind thing ruin our economy because na soso Oyinbo thing wey dey like? I
know say I no too sabi book but I get common sense. Nothing wey dem dey do for our Obodo
dey nice for our face. How many of us go wear Coat wey dem sow for Ibadan and Shoes wey
dem make for Aba with pride? Una dey laugh abi, na the reason wey plenty of our pikin dem
no fit find work when dem comot school be that because na soso ready made from obodo
Oyinbo with dey like, we no too dey proud of our own. If to say we dey support our own all
this Ibo made stuff we dey make fun of for don improve and our life go don better.
Na this same palava with this name thing
be that. I hear say some our people wey dey obodo Oyinbo dey ashame to name their pikin
Nigerian names because dem no want make Oyinbo people make fun of dem. My answer be say if
dey too ashame of the names why dem no change their papa name (surname) too to Oyinbo
name? Ignorance people.
My people na here I go stop, if we no
stop this kind attitude, I no think say our culture go see beyond this decade.

Surfer Surfer Don Turn Our Women To Exporter
How una dey my people? I
know say he go better one day. But I no fit talk the same for our people wey dey for Obodo
Guinea dey wait for Judgment. No be yesterday I dey read paper with my friend Johnny na
him we hear say dem catch our people dem for Guinea dey transport Asewo go Europe. I know
say plenty of una go talk say where I dey since this day? For plenty of una the news dey
old. He don tay wey our people dey sell their body for Europe especially Italy. Come to
think of it, na true o. No be last year my brother dey tell me say the time wey he dey
come Nigeria him plane come pass Italy. He say if you see plenty Omoge wey enter dem plane
for Rome. He say plenty of dem don bleach their body and come see as dem dey carry body
odor. That one I no fit sabi with my brother o. Na everytime he dey talk say plenty of us
wey dey Obodo Nigeria too no dey use Lofinda abi na deodorant he call am. I guess na the
thing wey make am dey buy the thing everytime wey he send people to me from Obodo America
be that. The man self I no sabi am, he dey act like say no be mat he tay dey sleep when we
dey small. Oja re my people, na him sabi.
As I dey talk, he say he
come ask the woman wey dey sit beside am why be say plenty people wey enter plane for Rome
na women. The woman come tell am say na their base be that because people believe say
Italian men like black women. She come talk say the people wey he see na the people wey
dey bring plenty hard currency enter our Obodo be that. My brother tell me say the woman
come tell am say na Exporter dem dey call dem. When my brother first tell me I no sabi the
thing wey he mean say dem be exporters since no be say dem dey carry goods go sell for
Obodo Oyinbo. He come tell me say I be mumu, he say the body wey Oyinbo people dey poi nko
no be good be that?
My people to cut my tory
short na so our country be now. No be all the women una see wey say dem dey live for obodo
Oyinbo especially for Europe get work o. Plenty of dem na dem body dem dey sell for
corner. This surfer surfer wey our yeye past Leaders bring to our country don turn regular
people wey before una no fit catch dey with this kind thing done become Ogbologbo for the
thing. I hear say plenty people wey dey behind the thing na some of our high society women
wey una sabi. If una see some women wey dey spray yanfu yanfu and no be say her husband
get money, make una be careful o. He fit be na somebody sweat the woman dey blow for una
head.
As for our Leaders dem, se
this kind thing no dey shame dem. Evertime dem go carry agbada dey run go Oyinbo country
as if to say the people respect dem. If dem no sabi, plenty of these Oyinbo dey laugh at
us as our countrywomen don become wowo for their hands. Na God/Allah I take beg una make
una find solution for this problem as face dey push me. We for no see this kind thing for
paper if to say we get Leaders dem wey get sense and dey considerate. Instead na Barawos
dem dey manage our Treasury. All this nonsense for no too plenty if to say work dey wey
these women and men go do. I beg Nigerian Parents, na God/Allah I take beg una make una no
too push pressure for una pikin head as country dey so, if una no want make dem carry dem
body come meet una for house. He dey dangerous out there, make una talk to una pikin
before dey too late.
Na here I go stop make una
dey take am jeje o.
July.11. 2001
Like President Like Senators: The Globetrotter
Leaders
How una dey my people? I
know say una no dey kampe. Which kind country we dey self wey be say almost all our
Leaders na their own dem sabi. I no fit poin t to one thing wey these Barawos dem do wey
go benefit us the mekunus. Instead na to jet from one couintry go another na him be dem
thing now.
No be last week or so I
hear say Uncle Sege dey complain say plenty of our Governors na "Owanbe" party
na him dem dey do for Obodo Oyinbo. Make una see me see trouble o, the Kettle dey call Pot
black. Which person start the abroad thing self no be am? If to say our President and all
the other Politicians dey shame no be journey to Obodo Oyinbo everytime go be dem motto
the first two years. And if you ask dem say why so so "ajala travel", dem go
give you one yeye excuse say dem want repair the damage wey Military do for Oyinbo eyes.
The question wey I want ask dem be say which people be these Military people wey don
become "weep boys" as if to say plenty of dem no be the same people wey dey for
military. I guess since dem done remove khaki and come put agbada, that don comot the
responsible for their neck and remove the yeye havoc wey dem cause our Obodo Nigeria
during Soldier era. Which of dem fit tell me say him no dey for government when Soldier
dey rule our country?
Make I come back to this
yeye "Away travel" wey done become the "thing" for our Politicians. No
be a month ago I hear say some legislators dem award money to themselves say dem want go
Obodo Oyinbo go learn how to rule our country "dem call am how to legislate".
Una want tell me say these people no fit learn am before dem become Senators? I no sabi
this one my fellow Obodians, dem case be like person wey want dey drive danfo and he come
go motor park go carry passengers. Instead make he carry dem go Lagos where he tell dem
say he dey go, he come tell dem say before dem go lagos, he want stop go learn how to
drive motor. Una no think say the man don dey Kolo? As for our Politicians dem, no be say
dem no sabi the thing wey dem dey do. Na barawo wey dey for their family body na him dey
drive dem around. If dem mean well for our Country, se no be unemployement, security
issues and good infrastructures dem go dey tackle? Instead dem just dey blow our money dey
take am dey buy jewelries for dem comcumbines and yeye bastard wey dem dey call pikin. We
dey complain say armed robbers don overtake our obodo, how that no go happen when the
people we call leaders na Ogbologbos for the thing? As long as the people wey our pikin
dem consider as role models na barawos, I no think we go fit defeat "men of
underworld". The thing wey I go tell our politicians be say one day go be one day wey
God go give us better leaders wey go probe all of una and no be say na jail dem go put una
if una sabi wetin I mean....
As for these yeye Thiefs
wey call themselves Armed Robbers, shame on una, all of una na chicken. If to say una be
bad boys and girls as una call una selves, why una no go attack people wey dey thief
plenty money, and na dem cause una make una dey rob? I guess say una weapons no dey
sosphicated afterall and all of una na sizzy as dem dey talk for obodo oyinbo. Una no fit
tell me say una no sabi the people wey dey thief our money but una too chicken to attack
dem because dem get better weapons pass una? Na the poor people wey struggle get money na
him una dey sakara and dey terrorize as if to say una dey bad. Na Yoruba people dey talk
say if your juju dey proper you go take am nack yourself for head. Why una no go attack
these una Lords for Barawo and see which person papa farm dey big?
I beg my people, na here I
go stop, make una take am easy o.
July.09. 2001
Child Trafficking: Tory of Alhaja Bisket
My people how life now, I
hope una dey cope with this surfer surfer wey we dey surfer for Nigeria? Make una remember
say the God wey bring us to this world no dey abandon his people. I know sa na everybody
don hear about the high class woman wey Police say dey sell small pikin. Make ask una
something wetin una think about the case? Se una think say na true true the woman want go
sell those small pikin, abi the woman want help dem as she and her husband talk? Whatever
answer una give, na only the woman and the pikin dem sabi the truth. As say me and
the rest of una no dey there when the thin happen, I no go fit talk say na true the woman
do am. But if to say na true the Police find the pikin dem under that condition wey dem
talk for News, the woman innocent no dey good at all.
Make I talk small about the
excuse wey the woman dey give. I hear for court case say the woman talk she get Orphanage
and na there she dey take the children dem. She talk say she dey pick small children wey
their mama don abandon for road and give dem shelter. As for her husband, him talk say him
and her wife don send plenty of these pikin dem go obodo oyinbo. The Alhaji talk say dem
dey treat the pikin dem like their own. As for the condition wey police found the pikin
dem, the woman and her husband talk say na the yeye driver cause am. My people I no talk
say the woman and her husband dey lie and I no fit talk say na true dem want go sell the
pikin dem since I no dey there and I no dey inside their mind. But the question wey I want
ask the woman and her husband be say since the woman herself dey inside motor where Police
find the pikin dem, you mean say she no dey hear when the pikin dey cry? Why be say she no
fit ask the driver why the pikin dem dey cry? If to say na true true dem dey treat the
pikin dem like say na dem born dem, una want tell me say dem go put their own pikin under
that condition? If to say na their own pikin dem hear dey cry, una mean say dem no go ask
the driver or the pikin dem why dem dey cry? This their tory no hold water for my court o
if to say na me be judge. Which mother go put her own pikin wey Oyinbo people dey call
toddler under Chairs/Tables with plenty load for back of her car? I hear say for inside
the motor, na so so chairs, tablse, tarpaulin and plates na him dey around the pikin dem
and no be say dem dey sit on them. If to say na true the pikin dem be like their own you
mean say Madam Bisket go put her little toddler for back where load dey while she sit down
for front with driver? I go dey surprise if the motor get Air condition.
My people as I talk before,
since I no dey around when the thing happen. But if to say na the pikin head catch up with
the woman, by the Grace of God/Allah, the woman no go escape am. Because I no sabi a
mother wey get her own children go dey sell another person pikin and when she sabi the
kind pain wey a woman dey face during childbirth. How she go feel if na her pikin another
person want sell for market? This na lesson for all the yeye people wey dey look for quick
money and want become "Cash Madam" by force. Na plenty day for thief but na one
day be owner own wey the thief go enter owner den and no go fit comot. All the people wey
become rich through blood money, na hell dem go go when dem die and by God grace, their
generation no go see peace for their life.
And if to say the woman dey
innocent, the good wey she dey do go help am escape the thing. God go make am meet Judge
wey go have mercy on am. My advice to am be say, make she forget about this Orphanage
business become she no fit for the thing. How person go put a baby for back with plenty
load around am? Wetin she think go happen if dem enter Pit for road as dem plenty for our
Obodo dem? The condition wey Police find the pikin dem no dey good even for our Obodo
Standard. na here I go stop my people, may God bless all the people wey dey do good for
our Society. And the whole Nigeria thank the Corporal wey find the pikin dem, we thank am
from the bottom of our heart.

Federal Character System Na Joke For Our Obodo
My people na me again o, I don come with another
comment. I know say plenty of my Hausa brethens no go like the thing wey I go talk today
but as I talk am before, anything wey affect Nigerians I go talk am even if the person na
my own blood. Na the thing wey expert dey call better journalism be that.
No be yesteday I sit down jeje for my house I dey read newspaper
na him I read say our Eaglet, the Under-17 Team dey the same group with US, Japan and
France for Soccer and dem go travel go Trinidad & Tobago go represent us for World
Championship. I no too pay attention to their coach name until I read another paper say
the Under-15 Team too win Nike Tournament and dem go represent Africa as dem beat South
Africa in Seychelles. I come notice say the dem Coach na Northerner. Na him come make me
go back to the first tory wey I read na him I come see say the man too na Northerner. Na
him make remember say our National Eagle new Head Coach na from North him too come from. I
no get anything against my people for North but the question be say na only dem sabi coach
soccer or any other sport? I notice say every time Teams go represent our Country plenty
time the person wey dey head the deligation na Northerners.
Wetin dey happen here my people, una want tell me say na only
Mallam sabi coach for our Obodo? Which kind thing be this, for sport? If to say na for
military matter I go say no problem since we no say plenty people wey dey for Military na
Northerners. But as for sport own, I no sabi that one own. Na all of us sabi say plenty
people wey dey do Sport for Nigeria na Southerners especially my Ibo brethens. The
question be say how we come have plenty Northerners for coach? Na common sense say person
wey dey do the work go sabi the work pass the person wey just come from no where and
become head just because he sabi "Banka Dede". I no say plenty of these guys na
good coach and some don pay their dues but if everybody dey equal he go good if we give
other tribes chance especially when this country belong to all of us. As our country no
dey perfect now I support true Federal Character wey everybody go feel say dem belong
especially for Sport Management. That old yeye system wey be say barboon dey chop and
Monkey dey work must stop if our country go better. This no be military regime wey be say
na only our Nothern brothers dey occupy Permanent Secretary positions why southerners with
better qualification go dey answer sir sir to dem.
Na here I go stop my people, I hope our Leaders go put their yeye
ego and tribalism aside and work on the things wey go make our country better.

All African Games Na Waste Of Money
My people our Leaders don
start again o. I no sabi the thing wey dey wrong with dem wey be say dem no too dey use
dem head. I know say he don tay wey I don dey hear say our country go host All Africa
Games. I also know say the yeye Stadium wey dem dey build for Abuja na the reason why dem
dey rush am be that. But my fellow Obodians make I ask una this, se with the situation for
our country wey be say plenty people no fit afford one meal a day na this kind thing our
Leaders go dey spend money for? The yeye festival self which kind people dem think say go
dey spend money for ticket when him and his family never belle full? Besides we know say
plenty of our Politicians and dem rogue friends no go pay for the tickets as the rest of
us. Between dem and us, which person una think say fit afford the thing self? Na wa for
this life o, the rich dey get richer while us the Masses dey get poorer. I know say Armed
Robber no dey good but I no sabi why these murderers wey call themselves Men of the Under
World no fit face Abuja and all the people wey dey cause this surfer surfer wey be say na
the poor man wey struggle to make small money or our brothers and sisters wey dey Oyinbo
Country dey wash Plates dem go dey attack for Nigeria? The question be say wey I want ask
the Olosi rubbers be say which people cause their surfering na us the masses wey dem dey
terorize everyday on na our Leaders wey steal the money wey belong to all us?
Make I go back to the All Africa Games.
This surfer surfer problem dey for other African Countries but dem Leaders just like our
yeye Politicians na Onyeochi and na only dem own dem sabi. If you visit most African
countries na only few dey better and care for dem people. And most of the ones wey dey
good to their fellow countrymen na Arabs but majority of our Black Brother Leaders na
disgrace to Black Race. With all the resources wey we get for Africa, I no sabi why na so
so handout we dey fight for for Obodo Oyinbo Countries. Plenty of dem go carry their yeye
Agbada come 2003 come dey chop food and money wey go dabaru dem stomach patapata. The
thing wey I no sabi be say all this money wey dem want take feed dem fat Faces why dem no
fit do better thing for their country instead wey we go dem spend am on sport wey only dem
and their rogue friends go watch. I hear say our Uncle Sege dey for better mood during the
yeye display of the Mascot. The man na really disgrace for person wey I hear say him
family not too get money when he dey small. Una go think say with his background he go
understand say hungry no go for body. I expect say the man go cancel Abuja project and All
Africa Games because of the kind condition wey our country dey now. But no be so, the man
with him pot belle don forget the surfer surfer and humilation wey him surfer for Prison.
I guess the man dey try to make up for the loss time wey dem put am for Kirikiri. My
people as our African Leaders dey prepare for All Africa Games, I go dey pray say make God
derail their plan because the surfer surfer wey plenty of African children surfer dey too
much for any sane man to carry.
Na here I go stop my people, make una
continue to pray for our Country and African continent as whole.

The Thing Wey Dey Destroy Our Country Dey Inside
All Of Us
How dey go dey my people, I
hope everybody dey do him part so our country go better? My people I know say plenty of
una laugh when una read the first two lines. The thing wey I go tell una be say I no think
say the thing na joke. How many of us wey be Nigerian care for our Country? This question
no apply to our Politicians especially the ones wey dey National Assembly because we sabi
their answer. Plenty of dem go tell you say na the reason wey dem join their yeye
Political parties be that to chop our money. Dem want take their experience help our
country. And we sabi the kind help wey dem go give our Obodo.
Before I start with us wey be commoners, I
want talk small about our so call Leaders. Na all of us remember say two years ago, our
country dey bad gan as we no get money for National Reserve. When we vote this Barawos in
we think say we don find people wey go help move the country ahead but instead na their
own family and pocket dem move along with their foreign accounts wey full with our oil
money. The thing wey I no sabi about these people be say how dem go dey spend money for
furniture when majority of people wey send dem go Abuja no fit find food eat? Plenty of
our Youths no fit find work when dem comot University. But the people no want hear that
one because the furniture wey dey their office and home no dey good enough for men of
their caliber. I no sabi country wey him Leaders and Politicians go like dem pocket pass
their motherland. No be seven months ago wey some fools wey dem call New Salary Committee
come come out with one ridiculous Salary Proposal for our Leaders dem. If una see the kind
money wey these people go make, I now see why people dey talk say if you want make it in
Nigeria, make you become Politician. Make una see us o, plenty of the people wey dey
inside these Committee na Book People o, and dem get book for head so tay when dem sleep
book dem come out dem mouth. These na people wey dem consider say na dem be the best in
their fields. But as I see all of dem na BIG Jagudas. The money wey dem want chop no allow
dem see proper. How our country go dey in this kind mess and we go dey propose salary like
say our National Treasury na Atlantic Ocean with plenty water? If you compare Abuja with
Mushin, dem be night and day and dem no fit meet. If una see the kind life dem dey chop
for that place while for Mushin people no fit find money buy Similac for dem pkin. Na so
you go see our Leaders with fine cars along with dem small girls wey dem dey call
Girlfriends. Plenty of these Girls dey young pass the Politicians Pikin. Na so the thing
be for our country o, our Leaders dey among the people wey dey destroy the country big
time.
As for the rest of us, all us of too dey
guilty. How many of us dem go give bribe and he no go take am? How many of us go talk if
we see people dey do things wey fit destroy our county ? I beg make una no raise una hand
because all of us na the same. Make I use our driving as an example. This yeye traffic wey
all of us hate, plenty time na we dey cause am. How many of us see lanes wey no move and
come see Pedestrian path wey be say dey free and no go follow am? If you dey go Lagos for
morning, na real hassle for road. Plenty time you go see people dey follow one way because
dem no get patient and plus because dem too selfish dey forget say if dem follow that one
way dem go block the people wey dey come from opposite direction. But as the thing dey
inside us to be selfish, we no too dey think about other people for Nigeria. As long as
our own dey kanmpe, we no too dey worry about our neighbours. How many of us think first
about our neigbhours before we do things? Especially if we no say the thing dey wrong. Not
too many people because all of us we go talk say no be that one we go chop. Since all of
us feel that way, I no sabi why we complain when other people do am to us especially our
so call Leaders.
These na some of the things wey dey
destroy our country, plenty of us dey selfish, greed na another thing wey dey destroy us.
Bribe make we no talk that one. That one na the thing we dey breath and drink every day
for Nigeria especially for Lagos and Abuja. And we too dey envy of our fellow Obodians too
much and the thing don send plenty people go yonder. The big thing wey dey destroy our
country na the thing wey Oyinbo people dey call Law & Order and we no get that one for
Nigeria. Disobedient na the first thing any pikin wey dem born for Nigeria go taste. Na
one of the reasons wey our Green Eagles no dey perform well for Soccer be that.
Una see my people, he go good if we think
about our actions and deeds how the thing fit cause katakata for our neigbhours. He good
if we put ourselves in their postions first and see if we like am before we do am. This na
some of the thing wey dey make our country no progress be that. Na the kind thing dey
destroy society be that. I believe say, if to say our Leaders and Politicians dey think
about the rest of us first and put themselves in our positions and see if dey like it, we
no go see too many people dey put contract money for their pocket.
My people na God I take beg una, he good
make all of us change because if we continue our yeye part, I no think say our pikin dem
go fit find something eat when all of us don go yonder. Na here I go stop. make una dey do
jeje o.
NIGERIA NA WA COUNTRY O, MAKE ALL OF US TREAT AM WELL.

Attention! No Stand At Ease: Military Don Hijack
Democracy
How una dey my people, I
hope say una dey manage? Wetin dey happen for our country self? He be like say this our
country na only Khaki Boys dem do am for. How long ago wey everybody dey jump up and down
say we don finally grab power from our money grubber Soldiers. We no know say the thing na
short live. Everywhere way you look, the people wey want contest for next election na
Military. This thing don tire me o, the people wey fight for democracy no fit enjoy am as
plenty of our retired Officers don put their khaki down and come carry Agbada wear. If una
go our National Assembly, plenty of the people wey dey there na former Military officers.
From the thing wey I dey hear from my sources, plenty people wey want run for next
election na these same Soldier Boys wey turn our our country to Poverty Universe.
Before I begin dey break am down, I know
say plenty of una go talk say since dem be Nigerians, dem get right like all of us. I know
say dem be Nigerians like us but how much salary dem dey pay soldier wey he go dey buy
whole village. The thing wey I no sabi be say as my Grandmother dey talk am, person wey be
thief go always be thief even if dey go church or Mosque everyday. The thing na like smoke
no matter wetin you do to hide am, the thing go come out. The thing wey I no understand be
say how this people dey win election self? Which kind "MuMu" and "Ode"
dey vote for dem? I know say plenty of dem dey buy election and votes, but if we no sell
the thing dem no go see buy am. I hope say people wey dey sell dem votes dey sell their
pikin future. He be like say plenty of us for our Obodo no dey learn and we like am as we
dey worship these Barawos dem. Everywhere you look, na so so Khaki boys you go see dey
blow money yanfu like say the thing na water.
As these people dey chop our money, 80
percent of our us no fit feed our family. Na the kind thing wey dey make some of us angry
be that. Na this make me call the people wey dey vote for dem "eru Aiye" Life
Servant because the "Chicken Change" wey dem dey give dem before election no go
last one week before dem go back to their miserable life.
My people na so una hear am o, if we want
make our country progress, we must stop dey vote for these khaki boys wey be say the
condition wey our country and us dey now, na dem cause am. Dem no care that time, and I no
say dem no care now. How many of dem una see for una area when election no dey around? Na
so the thing be o, we must stop dey vote for dem if we no want our pikin suffer the kind
surfer surfer wey all of us dey face everyday. Na beg I dey beg una my fellow obodians,
this coming election make una tell everybody wey una sabi say if we want make our
situation change and our live better, any Politicians wey don rule us or represent us na
no go area. We must do everything to prevent their victory. The time don come wey we must
handle our destiny/business ourselves. These money mongers no pay us and dem no pay our
country. Plenty of dem pikin dey obodo oyinbo dey chop our money while me and una dey
languish in poverty for Nigeria.
Na here I go stop my people, "a word
dey enough for person wey get sense" Till una hear from me, make una dey do jeje.

Uncle Sege Don His Grobetrotting Affair Again!
Hello
my people, se una dey manage? Which one wey our President dey self? For some reason the
man no fit sit him yansh for Nigeria. Every time wey you hear , the man don fly go another
Country. No be last Wednesday or Thursday the man travel go America. I hear say the man
dey for Belgium as we dey talk. This Baba Egba sabi blow our money o. I never see one
month wey the man no travel go another country. Make we look the thing well well, the way
wey our President dey blow money for journey no dey wise at all. He don reach almost Six
months wey President Bush for America don dey for power, na only once the man comot go
another country. And no be dem neigbhour for Mexico he visit? Se una want tell me say the
America no get money? And na the reason wey the man no fit travel be that, eh my people?
No my brother, una see for America the Government sabi him priority unlike our Government
wey be say dem no get our country matter for heart. Una see for America, the people think
say Recession dey come and their goverment want make sure say dem look at the matter
well well wey the thing no go fit happen. Another thing na this Energy wey I hear say dem
dey get for California. The thing don almost become embarrassment for their President. Una
see my people, for Obodo America, the people love their country but I no fit say the same
thing for our Leaders. I no say plenty of una go talk say na nonsense I dey talk but as my
mama teach me, people no dey like make una tell dem truth. Plenty of our Leaders sabi
their pocket pass the country own. For example which country una dey wey our National
Assembly dem dey blow our money for funiture? Una want tell me say if the people care for
our Obodo na funiture money bill dem go dey pass when everybody sabi say the condition wey
our Past Leaders leave our country no be pretty sight at all. As I talk before, una want
tell me say all these our Senators and Legilslators no fit afford funiture for house? I
beg make una give me a break as dem dey talk for Obodo Oyinbo.
As I want close my comment, I hope say our Leaders dem go do less travel and more action
on this yeye condition wey our Obodo country dey. Na here I go stop my people I go dey
talk to una on Wednesday as my God/Allah don talk am, make una dey do jeje o.
April.27. 2001
Our Country Na Hell For Business
How dey go dey
go my people, I hope say una dey hang in there jeje. He don tay wey I don dey think about
the problem wey Business people dey face for our country. My people I no sabi how plenty
of these people dey survive o. When I dey talk about business people me I no talk about
419 Business or people wey be say na through Dabaru and Wayo dem dey take survive for
business. I dey talk about people wey dey do business for our Obodo true true.
No be since 1999 na him Uncle Sege dey travel all over the world
make people come invest for Nigeria. The thing wey I no understand be as the man old so,
him no think say he must put his house in order before he go dey ask foreigner make dem
come put their money for our Obodo. Every where you go for our Obodo, nothing wey dey
work. All the infrastructures wey go help business move proper don pafuka. Na almost two
years now na him the man promise say NEPA light no go dey blink but as I day talk to to
una now, the yeye poeple don take light, na Generator Plant na him we dey use for office.
How business go tay survive when be say everytime dem move NEPA don use his power? I no
sabi Business wey no need light for business. Plenty business don close their factory
because NEPA don destroy their Equipments. Plenty business no fit hold meeting because the
office no get enough ventilation for their counterparts from Obodo Oyinbo. Na everyday
business dey loose billions of Naira as our Kingkong NEPA don visit us again.
There is this other problem wey dem dey call government
regulations and Egunje. Na all of us know say our Government dey try him best make dem
commot Bribe for goverment office but the thing go take years because the thing wey our
Leaders dey talk for Television, Radio and Papers no concern junior staff wey plenty
business people go meet when dem go the offices. If you know cooperate for the thing, the
thing wey you want go collect no dey comot unless you settle dem. If you think say you too
know, these God-Fathers for Egunje dem go just frustrate you. Plenty of dem na the thing
wey dem dey take support their family be that as plenty times our Goverment no dey pay
these people in time. Sometimes dem no dey pay dem salary for Six months. The question wey
I want ask our Leaders dem be say, how dem want make these people survive in this kind
environment? I no say some people even if our Goverment pay dem their money dem go still
ask for their own Family Support but the few wey no want take Riba no get choice as
pressure dey from their Family member and Landlord. This kind thing dey make am hard for
plenty business as dem must pay extra money to get documents from our Government.
Another problem na the roads. With the yeye roads wey no see
maintenance for years, plenty of dem, motor no fit pass as ditch plenty pass smooth road.
This wahala plenty for Lagos as you go see plenty go slow especially for morning time.
Plenty people by the time wey dem go reach office afternoon don reach as traffic don take
halve of their day. Business men wey don schedule appoitment with their partners no fit
make am to the office in time. Before you know am, their business partners don give up on
dem. Even sometimes with the way our roads be, by the time you attend one meeting evening
don come, plenty business men and women go come cancel the remaining meetings since he don
dey too late. As men of the underworld no gree us waka again for night, na so you go see
everybody dey rush home before night time come. This itself na another headache for
business as people no fit do their work.
Another thing wey dey destroy business for our obodo na we
ourselves. As plenty of us dey lazy and we no want work hard and we want make money. You
go office go collect document the person wey dey in charge either he don go buka go wack
or the person fit tell you say him dey for break make you no wahala am. People for our
obodo no too dey take work serious at all. Plenty of us the only thing wey we sabi na to
collect salary and get some Egunje, we no want sweat for anything. If you open business
for our Obodo and you no dey there, the people go just run the thing to the ground for
you. Sometimes I wonder which kind God creat us selves as plenty Nigerians dey lazy na
only enjoyment we sabi. Plenty business don pack up as their employees don chop dem
finish.
My people o, as all of us dey talk say he go better, I wonder
when that go happen as our government and us no too care about the country. Plenty Leaders
wey we get na only their own dem sabi. Make una take for example our National Assembly, na
everybody for our obodo sabi say work no dey and we need business make dem come open
business for our Obobo as plenty of our youths no gree find job. Which time una hear say
make those yeye rouges pass bill wake go encourage Nigerians and Foreign investors come
open business. We talk say country hard but our National Assembly dey busy dey buy
Furniture and Motors for themselves and their concubines.
Haba National Assembly, na God go punish una and plenty of una na
hell una dey go so as una no dey think about plenty of us wey dey struggle and no gree
find food eat. Na pray we dey pray make God bring better Leader for our country. Na here I
go stop my fellow Obodians, make una dey take am jeje o.

Death Traps Plenty For Lagos
How una dey my
people, I hope say una dey manage? I beg una make una no vex with us na our writer vex
comot our office say he no dey work again as our Oga catch am dey sleep for work when the
man come visit from America.
My people una know say since Governor
Tinubu enter office na him he don dey talk about say all the yeye road wey dey for Lagos
him go repair dem. Na all of us know say the man dey try for Lagos. But I no think say I
fit talk the same thing about our yeye Federal Government. All the Oil money wey dem talk
say he dey for reserve last year I no sabi the thing wey dem dey take the money do? We no
say since our Federal Government Leaders enter office I no think say dem lack for
anything. No be this year we hear again say dem want buy our yeye good for nothing
Legislators and Senators Peugeot cars. Which kind work wey our National Assembly do for
wey be say we dey dash dem motor. He don reach two years wey our Leaders don enter office
I no see thing wey I go fit point say Uncle Sege and his Potbelly comrades don achieve
since dem buy dem way into our lives.
Make we take the road wey everybody dey
call gateway to Nigeria since plenty neigbouring countries na there their citizens dey
follow if dem want come our Obodo especially for the ones wey no get plane money. The road
if una no remember na this yeye Badagry road. I no say the thing don improve small pass
the time wey that yeye killer leader wey no go die well for him grave dey for power. The
road na real death trap. No be two weeks ago na him our Oga ask me make I follow am go him
house as we tay too long for office and another thing be say we dey go Abuja the next day.
But since my parents wey dey heaven dey watch over me I come tell our Oga say we get Vigil
for our Church. Na him my oga come ask him wife neiphew make he follow am go home. As the
man dey drive him Honda from Maryland dey go Badagry road, as dem want reach Mile 12, dem
come decide say make dem follow Festac as we all know say Mile 12 no be kind place wey you
want dey pass around 11PM for night. As dem want branch like this na inside gutter dem
find themselves for the place. As God dey with our Oga, two people dey waka along the
road, na the people and my oga Neiphew-in-law carry the car comot gutter, if not na there
my Oga and the Boy for sleep. My Oga come talk as God safe am for that place him come dey
pray. As dem dey go for Badagry Road before dem reach Barracks, there is this overhead
bridge wey people wey dey comot Trade Fair go follow na him dem see this big gutter wey
dey for middle of the road, before the man press on him brakes the thing don dey too late.
Na inside that big hole dem land, my Oga come find way wey he tay manouver comot the trap
not before the two right tires don turn to crazy man's outfit. All the two tires for him
right side don turn into shred and the car right body don turn to goat wey cow hit for
head. All this thing happen around 11:30 for night. Luckily for dem, another Danfo dey
around wey enter the same ditch minutes before our Oga. The man talk say he no fair for
his life until that night as the whole place dey deserted. As reach the place wey Danfo
dey na him come see Vulganizer wey dey work on that danfo. To cut the tory short na this
Vulganizer dem follow go him shop. My Oga say if una see as he dey sweat, una go think say
na inside Bar Beach water him just comot. Him talk say as dem dey waka go the man shop him
don comot him shirt and remove Watch wey dey him hand. He come take hand dabaru him hair
as he no want make the people wey dey the man shop know say him na Americana. As reach the
place na so so men wey look like say dem don smoke Igbo (Hemp) na him see. The man even
talk say him try hard make him no speak grammar as he no want make dem sabi his identity.
Na so the man buy tires wey be say under normal circumstances he no go put am for him tire
for almost N1500.00 from the Vulganizer. Una know say my Oga no enter him house for that
day until 1:am for morning.
Na the same thing happen again to the man
near 2nd Gate for Festac area as he dey avoid another ditch. Luckily for am na only one
tire the thing affect.
My people una see how inaction of our
Leader dey cause palava for ordinary citizen for our Obodo. If to say God no dey with the
man he for don encounter Armed Robbers as dem plenty around that area. Na because God
still dey with our Oga na him safe am those two nights. Our Government Leaders dey travel
all over the world dey ask both Nigerians wey dey Obodo Oyinbo and Foreign Investors make
dem come open business for our Obodo. Which fool go come risk him life like our Oga and go
come put him money for this kind environment? Na pray we dey pray make God send us Leaders
wey go care about our country pass dem pockets and egos. Na here I go stop my people, make
una dey take am easy o.

Life Don Become Yeye For our Obodo
How una dey my people, I
hope say una dey manage? Today matter no dey easy for me as I watch people dey waste their
lives or other people's live because of money and power. Every time you read paper or
watch television na people wey dem kill for road during fight or wey Armed Robber kill you
go hear. No be yesterday I read am for paper say dem find plenty body for Ikotun aread for
Lagos. Se una also hear about these yeye Agberos (Area Boys) wey dey fight for Oshodi Bus
Stop because one group no want make the other group carry passengers? My source tell me
say na about Two people die for the thing where several people dey injure. This thing wey
I dey talk na everyday occurence for our obodo, life don become yeye so tay plenty people
no value their lives again and people just dey drop like chicken. As the rush for wealth
increase na so death of innocent people wey some of our rich people don use their body for
money. He rare wey you go see dead body for our country wey dem never comot his/her
private part. Plenty times you go see dead body for road wey be say for days, our local
council no go carry am in time. Sometimes he dey reach months before City Council go carry
the dead body. I remember last year when my Brother and his family come visit us for
Nigeria and dem come talk say make I follow dem go Lagos Island go buy Tapes. When we come
reach the area, I come tell my brother say make we park our car around Central Mosque
since parking na palava for Lagos. Na him me, my brother and his wife come dey waka go
Ebipenjo Lane. As we dey waka we notice say people wey dey come from opposite direction
dey cover their noise with their hands, as we get close to the area na him we start dey
smell the thing. My people if una see as the area dey smell, una go think say na inside
Montuary wey NEPA don take him light for Months na him una dey. My brother and him family
come dey ask say wetin be that smell, I come tell dem say he fit be gutter as all of us
know say plenty gutter for Lagos Island na Shit full am. Small time na him we see one dead
body wey flies don almost eat finish, my people if una see the faces of my brother and him
family, the pikin dem come dey cry as dem cling to their Papa and Mama. To cut the story
short, I hear say the body don dey there since one month wey people just dey pass am.
My poeple se una want tell me say the dead
body no get family wey fit come carry am? Wetin our government people dey do wey be say
dem allow the thing make he burst? As he be for Nigeria, our government go carry Dog body
comot for road first before dem go carry dead body. The thing don become Baraku among our
people wey be say dem no dey think about am twice. Humanbeign life don become yeye as our
people dey kill themselves. This I dont care attitude dey for our Government too, small
time if wahala happen for our Obodo, the first thing wey our Government go say to Mobile
Police be say shoot to kill, dem no dey talk say make dem go there go arrest people wey
cause the Wahala. Na this same attitude you go find in plenty African countries. Una no
see the fight for Burundi, Sierra Leone, Liberia and others wey be say dem just dey hack
person head like say dem be chicken. I no sabi how grown men go dey cut small pikin hands
and legs because dem come from another tribe or country.
As I don dey tire, my advice be say he go
good if all of us look within ourselves and see if we like what we see for Mirrow because
plenty of us dey run after power, money which sometimes dey bring hatred among God, Allah
own people. My fellow Obodians, the change to brotherly love must come from us first and
then to our fellow neighbours and friends before we can see the end of this evil
behaviours wey don become part of our daily lives.

National Assembly Want Chop Us Dry
How una dey my people, I
hope say life dey treat una better? No be weeks ago I dey tell una say our President Uncle
Sege dey lobby National Assembly make dem approve money for am make he take buy
Presidential Jet. The new request wey our President dey make na about him Vice President
Alhaji Atiku own. Na all of una hear say the man Plane crash for Portugal and na God save
am and his entourage. If not, una for don dey hear say make wey elect new vice president.
As the thing don dey become embarrassment for our President an his people dem.
My people, Uncle Sege think say him smart,
as National Assembly reject bill for him own Jet he come send Vice President own. He think
say if dem approve that one, him go come submit him own again and he go dey hard for the
people to reject am. But as una know say all of our Politicians na Ogbologbo for Agbari.
Dem know say our President want use wayo for dem, dem come tell am say he no good make he
submit one bill for 8 Jets instead wey him dey submit one just for Vice President own. My
fellow Obodians I hope una dey hear that? How this yeye people go tell us say dem know the
country hard and dem dey do their best. But na everyday una go dey hear say the thing go
take time but dem want take the money wey dem for use create work for us and come take am
buy Jets for the President and Vice President, including the Senate President, House
Speaker, Attorney General and some yeye positions.
Thank God our President and his advisors
talk say that one na nonsense and dem no go do that. Una see my people, these our National
Assembly no dey cut am small o. Even for America wey dem dey copy, the only two positions
wey get private Jets na office of President and Vice President. Na the thing wey I dey
talk be that about the Rogues wey we call Legislators. Una see the kind wayo wey dem want
put for our face, dem know say if our President and Vice President want the thing bad dem
go put the additional six for the thing. I no think say plenty of these people go die
well. This thing don dey tire me my fellow Obodians. I no sabi how people go dey that bold
and selfish wey be say dem think say the world dey circle around dem? Our country still
dey bad like before and this yeye Democracy wey dem promise us na illusion. Majority of us
no get work and plenty family no fit find food eat. Plenty pikin don die because their
Papa and Mama no get chop money. With all these, our people dey talk about 8 Private Jets.
This people no talk about Bicycle my people, dem dey talk about Luxury wey be say if dem
take the money create business the thing go reduce our unemployment rate by 65%. Na this
dem want take buy 8 planes for people wey no need am.
Una sabi how I feel about the previous
bill for Presidential Jet, but this one I no know whether make I cry or laugh because the
thing don pass me. Una no think say these our National Assembly dey kolo for head? I go
let una be the Judge of that as I want go Toilet go do the natural thing. Make una
remember say the thing wey una do for ground na him your family and pikin go come meet,
make una dey do jeje o.

Arewa General Secreatary Dey Shoot From His Hips
How dey go dey go my
people, I hope una dey manage? Yesterday I talk to una about the way some of our
Politicians dey behave. Today the thing wey I go talk dey similar but my yabbist stick for
today go be on Acting Secretary General of Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF). The man
name na Mallam Inuwa Abdul-Kadri. No be yesterday I read am for paper say the man talk say
the bill wey our National Assembly want pass wey go make am impossible for past Military
Head Of States collect entitlement as their civilian counterpart na nonsense. According to
the thing wey I hear, dem talk say the General Secretary no support our constitution wey
talk say he dey illegal for person to take power by first. As most of our past leaders
take power by first, and no be say na we elect dem for the position. The Congress come
talk say anybody wey become head of states by force no entitle to money and benefit wey
regular person go collect if the person become our commander in chief. This go make people
think twice before dem waylay our constitution.
Na because of this thing na him make the
man talk say he no good make person no eat the fruit of his labour. Him talk say since he
take special effort and power for person to become our President, he good make dey pay dem
their entitlement as our past leaders.whether we elect dem or not. My question to the yeye
Mallam be say which labour our past military Head of states do? You mean say he good make
we reward people wey destroy our country? As the man dey talk, he be like say make we
reward robbers wey come to our home and take over our house by first. And since the man no
comot everything wey dey the house, he go good make dem get some benefit. Too. Na this
kind thing make talk say I know say the man no serious, I hope say he go go give the
people wey pay am for propaganda their money back. Because this him talk no be kind thing
wey go expect from person wey get brain for head. How you go talk say make wey pay people
wey cause plenty of the wahala wey we dey surfer now? I no blame the man since na glass
house him dey live. If we look am well well the man na from Privilege Family, plenty of
these surferness wey people like us dey face everyday no dey reach am. How the man no go
talk so since na our Past military leaders give am the money wey he take build mansion wey
him build for his village?
Una see my people, na this kind person dey
spoil our obodo, small time una go hear say the man want become Minister for Nigeria. Una
wonder why our country no improve? No be this kind person dey spoil am? And plenty of dem
no dey think at all. As dem dey talk for computer class, garbage in garbage out If the
kind person become Government Leader for our country our own don finish be that. Because
the man dey talk like person wey no get gumption for head. Make una see us see trouble o,
the man na Acting General Secretary for Arewa Consultative Forum. The group suppose to
represent us wey be Northerners for Nigeria, wetin una think go happen as this man dey
talk like say he no get anything upstairs? Arewa na Think Tank group, how the man take
become Acting General Secretary I no sabi. One thing for sure wey I know, the man no get
there because he get sense or he sabi book. I hope say plenty of these leaders dem go
think well well before dem open their big mouth.
Na here I go stop my people, make una take
am easy o.

Governor Akande Dey Practice Personal Politics
I hope say una dey manage
my people, how life dey treat una? Wetin Again I dey hear about Osun State self? Every
time wey you hear something about the state for Television, na so so fight you go dey
hear. If the Governor no fight him Deputy, the Police get wahal with local Council. And if
that no happen na people wey dey fight for Crown you go hear their palava for Radio. No be
two weeks ago I hear say the Governor go Mecca for Hajj? But as him and his deputy no dey
gree, the man come ask the state secreatary make he dey look after the state affairs for
am. But as I hear dem talk say according to our Constitution, the only time wey the
Governor fit delegate the task to another position or person be say him Deputy Governor no
dey around. But as the Deputy Governor Omisore dey around, I no sabi why the governor go
ask another person make he dey take care of the state affairs for am?
Before I continue make wey talk small
about plenty of our people wey dey go Mecca self. As he be for Nigeria, plenty people wey
dey go this hajj no dey go because dem believe the thing wey Prophet Mohammed talk about
the thing wey Islam religion stand for self. The thing don become status for our Obodo.
Plenty people like make dem call dem Alhaji or Alhaja. As my Afa for our Mosque tell me
when I be small pikin, him talk say the Islam mean Peace, you must love your Neighbour as
you brothers and respect dem too. And he talk say as for Mecca own, we go there go clean
our sins, and he no good make we dey vex with people before we take on that journey.
So my people my question be say as the
Governor na educated person and he sabi book well well but this him behaviour dey small
before he reach o. Although na our elders dey talk say Age no reach wisdom and another
thing be say because you go university no mean say you go get sense. But this Osun Palava
own don dey too long. The wahala no let my poeple for Osun reap the fruit of our Democracy
(although no be say people wey dey other states dey enjoy anything). Since wey we start
this democracy self na him the governor and deputy don dey bump heads like say the
Positions na their papa own. He dey okay if people no dey gree for Politics but only good
Leaders and Politicians go separate that from their official duty. This thing wey the
governor do, if to say I be senate leader for Osun State Assembly, I go look whether the
thing cause make we comot the governor as he don personalize him position as the head of
the state. If the governor no like him deputy na him sabi but he must still follow the
constitution because if we start dey do the opposite na him be say we dey undermine the
foundation of our Country be that. I no care if the governor dey do good job or not, this
thing wey he do, na him be say the man dey childish and no be kind person wey we want dey
lead our state or Obodo be that.
I hope say the people wey dey for Osun
States go start dey look how dem go comot am or purnish am. And if the man survive the
thing because he get some suporters for State Assembly, I hope say my people for Osun no
allow am make he serve second term as the man no sabi politics. This him behaviour make me
think say the man no too get comon sense just like plenty of our So call Leaders for
Nigeria. Dem no too dey think well well before dem act, plenty of dem too dey emotional
for Politics. If you no agree with dem, you don become their enemy be that. Na the same
politics wey I think our Uncle Sege too dey practice. I hope say our Leaders for Osun and
Yoruba go fit resolve this chicken fight wey our Governor for Osun state dey do with him
Deputy as the thin don dey get out our hand
Na here I go stop my people, make una dey
do jeje o.

Religious War Don Start Dey Divide Us
How dey go dey my fellow
Obodians, I hope una dey manage? Se una hear say the Muslim for south dey ask our
Government make dem make next Tuesday Public Holiday. And the one for North dey talk say
na Monday dem want. Una see my people, na the thing wey democracy dey cause be that. I no
understand why these two Regions no fit gree whether the Muslim Holiday go be Monday or
Tuesday especially since both of dem dey worship the same God. This no be fight between
Muslim and Christian but between two different areas of the Federation.The only thing wey
I go say be say tribalism don enter the thing and na this yeye Sharia own cause am. Before
all these fight over which day we go celebrate Muslim holiday no dey happen between our
Brothers for North and South. Una remember the thing wey I talk before about Sharia
palava. The thing wey our Muslim Brothers for North no realize be say plenty people wey be
Muslim for South get relatives wey be Christian and dem go do anything to protect dem. And
unlike Southerners, this kind thing no dey for North. I no think say you go fit see Muslim
family wey get Christian relatives as he dey for South especially South West.
Another palava wey religion dey cause for
our obodo na this Sharia thing for North. No be last week I hear say some Religion
Fanatics for North go burn Army Truck wey dey carry Beer dey go Army Barracks for North.
As the truck get problem for road na him these yeye boys wey no get work come look inside
the thing dem come see beer wey dem load for the truck. Na from their dem comandeer the
thing go Police station wey dey the area. I hear say the Police come tell dem say make dem
leave the thing alone, the yeye youths come refuse. When the thing comot Police station,
na so these youths put petrol for the thing and burn am. No too long na him I hear say the
Army come hear about the thing and come dey rush go there. But before dem commot barrack
na him I hear say their Oga patapata receive telephone from their Area command say make
him stop dem from going to the place. If to say the Commander no do this, no be the thing
wey we go dey talk be this. The whole area for don dabaru and plenty people for die for
mistakes of some hoodlum Youths. As it be so, the thing don dey divide us small, Soldier
for one side, and the civilian for the other side. This kind thing fit cause another coup
or war for our Obodo.
The question wey I want ask all these
Politicians wey dey introduce yeye law for their own selfish reasons be say wetin dem go
do to prevent this kind thing in the future? Because I believe say one day go be one day
wey the instructions from the Oga for Barracks go dey too late and and the Army go descend
on those thugs wey call themselves Sharia Vigilante. Na beg I dey bey our Politcians and
Government be say make dem make sure say those fanatics wey dey forment trouble comot for
street because I no think say other people or Military Organization go take the thing
lightly from dem if the thing happen again. I guess say our Pro Sharia governors no think
about this thing before dem start dey introduce law wey go divide us instead of make the
thing unite the whole country. As the wahala dey brew for background, I no go surprise if
our country dabaru especially if our Leaders no find solution for the thing now. My
opinion be say this Sharia thing na distraction for our Society and I no think say we need
am now. But as I be nobody, this na just my opinion and I know say plenty of una no go
agree with me and I respect that.
Na here I go stop my people, I hope say
una don dey plan for the coming Holiday. Make una dey take am easy o my fellow Obodians.

Why All This Fuss for Rating Self?
How una dey my
people, I hope una dey enjoy. Wetin dey wrong with our Leaders self? No be yesterday my
source tell me say our Leaders talk say the thing wey International Transparency or wetin
be their name talk about our Country na lie. Dem talk say the data wey those people use no
dey complete. Transparency International na the people wey talk say our Country na the
Leader for Corruption. Last week na him I hear say our Leaders dem, from Uncle Sege to him
Ministers and all the important people wey dey for our Obodo talk say the thing na
nonsense. Dem talk say if to say the thing dey complete dem go for find out say our Obodo
no be the worst offender for Corruption.
My people una see our Leaders dem, which person wey dey for our Obodo wey no know say
corruption dey grow wings for our Body? The thing wey I no sabi be say whether
Transparency International say na Nigeria be last or first, me I know get palava with dem
because even if the people talk say na our country be the last for the thing, na all of us
know say we dey breathe and eat bribe for Nigeria. Which kind cry wey dem dey cry when we
know say na one cancer wey go take miracle from Above for the thing to dissapear among our
people? Which contract wey you want get for Nigeria wey you no go give the people wey dey
in-charge chop money for Family Support? Our President fit talk Anti- graft from here to
Kutuweji, the thing dey go on for our obodo pase pase. Even as I dey talk to una, some
money dey exchange hand as we dey talk. All these our leaders dem wey dey shout say
Transparency International rating na lie, na rouges including our President. The man no
fit tell me say him family members and friends no benefit from the thing since him come to
power. All these Ajala travel wey him wife and advisors dey do, who dey pay for the thing?
Dem want tell me all these places wey dem dey go na for only official business? That 65
Karat Gold and Diamond wrist watch wey cost arm and leg from where dem buy am, and who dey
pay for the thing? That one na fringe benefit? I guess say that one na Official Souvenir
as my brother for America dey talk.
Make we no fool ourselves, the answer to the thing no be whether na our country come first
for Corruption or last, the answer be say how we go take comot the thing for our Obodo
because the thing don ruin our country finish? Plenty Palava wey we dey face today for
Nigeria na corruption dey cause am. All this hilahilo wey our Leaders dey talk na waste of
time, make dem stop dey give contract to person wey dem sabi or wey give dem money for
back. And all these wayo style wey be say their pikin wey dey go school for Obodo Oyinbo
go collect School Fee money from Company Chairman wey dem give Contract. If dem put the
kind energy wey dem dey put for Transparency International talk, our country for don
better. I know say Uncle Sege dey try him best but him and the rest of dem must do more my
people. If all of us na flies wey fit dey follow these our Leaders dem around, we go know
say plenty of dem their money don increase jaburata since time wey dem become Senator or
Legislator. Wetin dem want tell us now, we know say plenty of dem dey build mansions for
Obodo Oyinbo as we talk.
My fellow Obodians, make we no fool ourselves even if our Yeye Leaders want turn us to
"help me hold my Cloth people" This bribery thing dey for the water wey we dey
drink, na only God fit help us. Na here I go stop my people, I go dey talk to una tomorrow
as our Lord, Allah, Olorun, Chineke, Osanobua and Jah don talk am.

African Countries Don Become Big Gun Markets
I hope say una enjoy una
weekend my people? How dey go dey go? I beg make ask una something, why be say for Africa
we no dey make guns but all those fancy Weapons wey Oyinbo people dey make plenty for our
Leaders hand? Which enemey wey we get wey be say our Leaders na so so weapon dem dey
invest money instead make dem put the money where common people like us go fit enjoy am.
As he be so, plenty people wey we call our Leaders don Kolo for head, if una go all these
Oyinbo people wey dey make these weapons, their country dem dey kooleh, dem get peace. But
make una look at our African continent, if you no hear about Famine, you go hear about
tribes wey dey hack their fellow country men for head. Sometimes, na one country go dey
support rebels for another country because the person wey be President no too like the
Leader wey dey neibhouring country.
Plenty thing wey I no thing say go ever
happen for our continent na him I dey see for television everyday. Which kind luck wey we
get for Africa wey be say na us get resources pass but na inside poverty we dey live. Make
I use Angloa for example, I no thing say since the day wey I sabi the thing wey dem dey
call money, I go fit talk say this country get peace. Dem don dey fight this yeye war for
so long I no even think say the thing dey for OAU agenda again. Make una see o my fellow
Africans, God bless these country with plenty Oil and Diamond but war no allow dem enjoy
am because one yeye bastard no like the other bastard. I dey sorry say I use this word.
But the thing don tire me my people, evertime wey dem show Angola for Television na so so
small pikin wey no get legs and arms na him you go dey see for the place. The thugs wey
dey cause this war their pikin dey for Obodo Oyinbo dey enjoy blood money. The thing wey I
no understand be say our yeye people wey call themselves African Leaders go dey go OAU
meeting. I never see one good thing wey come out of that toothless organization. Na so so
men with pot belle you go dey see for Television dey talk say dem represent African
people. I no go lie to una, I never see one African wey I go talk say true true the man
represent our continent.. The war wey dey happen for Angola don become routine wey be say
people no dey talk about am again. But when una see all these innocent pikin wey be say
their future dey hopeless, plenty of dem no go ever see their parent again as our selfish
Leaders don ruin their future for dem. The money wey dem for take improve their people
welfare, dem don take am buy weapons for America, Russia and China finish.
I beg my people, make our Leaders dem for
Africa thank their luck say I no get money. Because if to say God bless me with plenty
money, plenty of these our so call Leaders for African go don go join their ancestors for
yonder. I for don use the money create soldier wey be say any Leaders wey no do right by
our people, him too no go dey around to implement his yeye plan. All these people wey una
dey see dey wear Agbada, Kaftan and French Suits no go dey around for our continent. I don
tire dey hear make people dey talk say Africa na backward society because of these inept
Men wey call themselves our Leaders. We don turn the whole continent into Gun Market for
our Oyinbo Brethrens. Which time una hear say France dey fight Italy with weapons, or
Sweden and Spain dey fight and na big gun dem take settle am? Some people go blame am on
Oyinbo people. Dem go talk say na dem cause am because dem dey look for market for their
products. If to say na so the thing be, una want tell me say our Leaders dem dey so stupid
wey be say NO no dey for their dictionary? Make una look the whole West Africa, half of
the countries na so so war dem dey fight among themselves. Plenty of these people wey dey
cause these wahala, I no think say dem lose one single family member for the war. Na the
fools and innocent people dey die like cow for Lagos Abattoir. Guinea, Liberia, Sierra
Leone, Ivory Coast all these countries no get peace. If una go both Central Africa and
East Africa regions, na the same thing dey happen. Uganda, Congo Republic, Burundi,
Rwanda, Somalia, Eritrea, and so on, all of the yeye Leaders don take their yeye Ego spoil
better thing for the rest of us. And people dey wonder why Oyinbo people no dey respect
us. How dem go respect us when our home no dey settle? The only thing wey we sabi for
Africa na to receive Aid. Which time wey una hear say bad thing happen for Obodo Oyinbo,
and na Africa country go help dem?
Na every year we dey hear wey our Leaders
dem go dey travel like Globetrotters dey ask for Debt forgiveness. The question wey we for
ask dem be say the debt wey dem say our countries owe, wetin dem take am do? Which time
wey dem borrow the money self? He go good make plenty of us start dem mobilize ourselves
wey be say which ever goverment borrow money and when Oyinbo people come dey ask for their
money back, na the people wey dey for that government we go ask make dem hold responsible.
I go also talk say he go good make we start dey ask the defaulters make dem start dey
vomit the thing wey dem chop. Because I no think say he dey right and fair make dem ask
the whole country dey pay the thing wey we no chop. Plenty of us wey dey live for Africa
no dey smell the money wey dem give am to Leaders not to talk of say make we spend am. Na
the finger wey cause palava na him King must cut.
As I want close this my talk, na God I dey
take beg generations wey dey come after us say, if our continent go better wey people
outside the continent go respect us, make dem make sure say the path wey our Rogue Leaders
dem follow, make dem comot am for History book because no be kind thing wey dem go dey
study. Until plenty of these our so call leaders comot from this Universe, I no think
African people go ever see peace.

Be Careful
Who Una Dey Send Errand My People
How una dey my people, I
hope say una dey my manage? Making una no worry, he go soon better. I no know about una
but this thing wey I want talk today don dey too much for me. As I know say plenty of us
wey dey live for Nigeria, we get one or two relatives wey dey live for Obodo Oyinbo. As
all of us know say he no dey easy for our people wey dey live for those places. But the
thing wey dey pain me pass be say some of those guys wey dey there na real 419 paraku. He
no means say because dem dey Obodo Oyinbo dem no dey use Agbari. I go even talk say the
local 419 wey we get for Nigeria still dey come behind those Overseas 419 dem. Those away
own na real Chiefs for Jibiti. As I know say plenty of una go dey wonder wetin I dey talk.
If you get relatives wey dey Obodo Oyinbo, the chance say this thing no happen to you dey
small. He even small pass ant (Era) for our Obodo.
How many una wey send food stuff and goods
through some of our people wey dey go Oyinbo country and you come hear story say dem seize
the thing for Airport? No be say dem no dey seize the thing true true, but I hear say some
people go just wack the thing for Oyinbo Country. Make we talk say you be tailor wey sabi
sow cloth well well. As your relatives, friends or your relatives friends dey go back
Obodo Oyinbo, you come ask am if fit help you sell the thing for the place or give am to
your sister. Some people no go take am from you, and I no blame dem as some of us go just
pretend like say the thing na by thin air he go take reach Obodo Oyinbo and dem no go pay
kobo for the extra luggage wey we give dem. And some people because of shame, dem go take
am from you but na for their house for Nigeria dem go leave am come tell their people make
dem tell you say dem no allow am carry am enter. And sometimes na the thing wey happen be
that. At other times the things go reach Oyinbo Shore but as the man no have time for your
yeye cloth, he go just give am to him children and Akata friends say na the things wey
bring dem from Nigeria be that. The man go come dey tell you tory say Oyinbo Custom seize
from him hand. And few times, our people go sell the thing or if dem get their shop for
Obodo Oyinbo, dem go add am to am. And dem go come give small tory why dem no go pay you
money. As for food stuff own, the person go just tell him family make dem no worry about
extra gari as he don banker for the one wey you tell am make he help give your brother, or
relatives for Obodo Oyinbo.
Plenty of these thing no too dey invlove
plenty money as people like me no too get money or property wey I go send relatives for
Oyinbo Country. The one wey big pass na the thing wey dem dey do fellow countrymen for
Overseas wey ask make dem help dem give money to their relaives for Nigeria. Plenty of our
people deliver the message. But we also have plenty Ole wey be say na the thing wey dem
dey take survive be that. As dem want go home, dem go rally round Nigerians say dem dey go
home or say if dem get message for their family. Dem go even tell you say dem no dey carry
load o but if you get money wey you want give your Papa or Mama, dem go help you deliver
that one. True true, the money go enter here but the problem be say he no go be for your
family hand. The man go just take the money and add am to the money wey he dey take build
mansion for Lekki. Or he fit take am open Boutique for one yeye Asewo wey he call
girlfriend. He go come send message to you say Custom seize the money from am for Murtala.
Some of dem go even tell you say dem put the money for Carry on bag wey dem dey take enter
plane. But as dem want enter plane na him dey come tell dem say the plane full inside, so
dem no fit carry am inside. The next time wey dem see the bag na for Nigeria, and all the
money wey dey inside, dem don thief am. Dem go come dey curse Baggage people wey no sabi
anything. The real Ogbologbo for the thing, go even plan with men of underworld make dem
come attack dem for road. This go come make am real for our Police eyes. All these because
of some few Marks and Pounds wey dem want take impress their family or Village say dem don
make am for Obodo Oyinbo.
This thing wey I dey tell una don ruin
plenty people wey be say na from bank dem borrow the money as dem one take am build house
for Nigeria. The money dem no see am, and dem go still pay money back to Banks wey loan
dem money if not na their House for America dem to take. My advice to people be say before
you ask person make he help you give money or food to your relatives, make you make sure
say na person wey you know say he no go use 419 for you. Na here I go stop my people, make
una dey do jeje o.

How Some Of Our Judges Reach Their Position Self?
How una dey my people, I
hope una dey kanmpe. Today the thing wey I want talk dey important he fit affect whether
person go live or not. No be a month ago I hear for Paper say our Government comot one
Judge because the man no sabi him work. As the boy wey read the paper for me talk say the
Judge collect money for back. Dem talk am say there is this murder case wey one person
file against one Rich man. As he dey for our constitution say any court case wey involve
murder, Court no fit grant the accuse bail until dem sabi say no be him do am. Na him dem
carry one influential man go court for murder, as the man lawyer ask for bail the judge
come deny am. The plaintiff talk say na for him face dem put handcuff for the accused
hands and dem come push am inside Black Maria take am go Prison. To cut the tory short sa
a, na him the Judge award money and properties to plaintiff. Small time the man come talk
say make him go check the building wey dem just award am, as reach the place na the
accused he see for door wey dey go out and him think say the man dey for Kirikiri. The man
say him think na ghost he see but the man come tell am no be so. He come found out say na
the Judge release am.
This second one I no think say he go fit
happen for our Obodo but the thing sele. The people wey we think say dem go protect us na
dem be Devil for Twins back. This tory no dey new o my people, una hear about one Nurse
wey her Boss do test for am without her consent because she talk say she get boil wey no
heal for body. As the test come back, the Doctor come found out say the woman get HIV.
Instead make the yeye boss tell the nurse, he come send am and her husband go LUTH for Idi
Araba. Na there the poor woman come found out say na AIDS test her boss do for am. When
the woman come go back work, na him her boss tell am say make she go leave. From there dem
come sack am for work. Na him the woman come carry her boss go Court because of the yeye
thing wey the man do to am. As I hear, dem talk say he dey against our law make person do
test for you if no sabi say na the thing wey dem dey do to you be that. The day wey dem go
court na him the Defendant lawyer come ask the court make dem no allow the woman for Court
because of AIDS. Una sabi say this yeye Judge wey no sabi law come agree with defendant.
My people na wa o, how person go get case for court and no be say he die and dem no go
allow make she enter court. I no go surprise if the judge no dey Kolo for head.
Na the thing wey make talk say I no sabi
how plenty of these yeye lawyers dey become Judges self? Where he dey for law wey be say
person no fit enter our court because he get disease for body? Which University give these
woman Judge law degree self? I no say me no sabi book well, but I no fit make that kind
decision? Which medical Doctor tell the Judge say if she allow the woman for court, na
everybody go get HIV for the place. If to say na so the thing be, all for us wey dey live
for our Obodo go don die long time ago. As the thing be, you no fit sabi person wey get
the thing unless the thing don enter their body well well. I know say no person want die,
but the Judge no get mercy at all at all, how the yeye woman go feel if to say na Head
Court tell am say she no go fit sit for Bench for Court because she get disease for body?
Na wa for these our Oppressors self wey be say small power wey dem get na to finish
Mekunnu like me na him dem sabi. As the woman don take her case go Court of Appeal, I hope
say the Judge there go reverse the yeye ruling. This na lesson to all of us say, he no dey
good make we dey hire people wey no sabi work because na these kind thing dem dey cause
for the rest of us.
Na here I go stop my people, make una dey
thing before una do am.

My House No go Be House Of Gossip
How dey go dey go my
people, I hope say everything dey go koole? Today na about our people wey don turn house
of Worship to house of Gossip. The thing remind me for the tory wey I read for Bible when
Jesus Christ our Saviour visit Synagogue for Jerusalem, as him enter the palce na him see
Money changer and gambler dey gbaladun for the place with their women. Na him come talk
say "my house shall be House of Prayer, but una don turn am to house Fornication and
Gambling". He come drive all the people comot. But today own different small, na
about our people wey be say instead make dem go church go worship our Almighty God, na
gosip dem go sow for the place. The thing plenty among our women dem wey be say anything
wey happen for Church, the Amebo among dem go don carry am among their friends and
neigbhours. No be last week Sunday na him this my Friend wey dey live for Onitsha come
visit him family for Lagos. That day the Bobo come talk say as him dey among friends and
families he go take the opportunity go do Offering for Celestial Church wey dey our area.
True true my friend and him wife don reach Twenty years wey dem marry for Lagos before dem
move back East for work. God no too answer their prayer for pikin own until Ten years ago.
Plenty people wey dey live for our area for Ajegunle dem no sabi say the man and his wife
don born pikin as God answer their prayers. This time around as God go bless dem better,
na double dosage he take stuff the wife belle. As I dey talk before, since the time wey
the wife go born pikin don dey close, the woman come talk say she no go fit follow her
husband go Church. To cut the tory short sha, as we reach Church come see as Rabbit Ears
people come dey tune their Antennae on. Una know say sometime our people no too dey mind
their own.We never reach thirty minutes for the place na him the CGF (Church Gossiper
Fellowship) come send their Junior member make she come take style ask one of the people
wey follow us come. As God go catch dem, the person wey dem send no too sabi our
entourage. She come go ask the wife's best friend say wetin my Friend dem dey do here as
dem hear say the man and his wife don scatter. She even talk say she hear say the man don
follow a Ghanian woman when his first wife no fit born pikin. Na him my friend wife friend
come as am where she tay hear that kind tory? The friend come raise her voice say no be
prayer una say una come pray for here why be say na so so gossip na him una go dey run
after like Touts wey dey run after Molue. She come tell the woman say by the way, the man
and my friend get one pikin already and dem dey expect another twin soon. If to say the
woman time no dey close, una for see am with her belle. The boy wey una see near the man,
na their first pikin be that.
Se una see my people, na the thing wey
make me no dey go church be that. I know say plenty of una go talk say person no dey go
church because of other people. I know say you go church go worship and pray to our
Almighty God but sometimes, the yeye thing wey these people dey do for church no dey allow
Angels enter Church and no dey allow God accept prayer as the people don turn the place to
Gossip den. If una be Angel which of una go go inside that kind church before dem turn
their gossip on una? Small time dem go tell Angel say na him be the smallest Angel for God
Kingdom as if to say na dem and our Almighty God dey make the decision for Heaven. This
thing wey we dey take lightly don ruin plenty life for our Obodo. I even hear say the
thing wohwoh for Obodo Oyinbo as our people dem don turn plenty of their church to
Towncrier. My brother talk say him no dey go Nigerian Church again as the people turn
against his family one day. Him talk say right infront of his wife, the people dey take
style ask am who his pikin dem resemle as all his pikin dem na Oyinbo pepe and our whole
family black pass Charcoal. Na true say dem no light for our family but how these people
sabi so when no be say dem sabi our family finish? Na the kind nonsense wey our people dey
do for church be that o. Wetin dem want make my husband do, leave him wife? Make una no
pity some people if una see say the church wey dem dey go no gree dem because dem no dey
honest with God? Instead make dem go there go worship and pray, na the thing wey no
concern dem na him dem go place for ground dey sell for church. And dem go dey wonder why
God no answer their prayer.
My people na here I go stop o, I hope say
plenty of us if this thing remind us about ourselves or our friends, he go good if we stop
the yeye nonsense before the thing consume us finish.

Why be say so many of our People dey
bleach?
How una dey my people, na me again oo. I hope say
una dey enjoy our pretty wheather. I beg make I ask una, why be say plenty of our people
dey bleach. As be so now, even men dey do am bigtime, I dey talk about Godogodo Men. I no
know the thing wey dey happen because he be like say the world want end. Ogini, kashiko,
kilode? My question to una be say, where dem find this kind jabajantis from. I think say
this nonsense go end for our shore but our people take am to Oyinbo country, I guess na
our own Export be that. Wetin dey make people do am, I no know. Me I go make our
interpretation or analysis. The people wey dey do am, I think say dem get the thing wey
Oyinbo dey call "low esteem" because to me be say, if your like yourself very
much, and you like de way God made you, why you won turn your skin to Oyinbo own. I no
know think say the people know de thing wey go happen to dem after dem don do am for a
long time. You go see some of dem, you no go even want make dem come near you because the
way wey dem dey smell. He go be like say make person vomit. Agaga if you enter Molue with
some of dem, and the bus come full, he go be like say you dey inside Oyingbo Water where
dem dey dump shit. And some of dem think say dem better pass person. If you con see the
one wey get tribal marks, I beg my sister, him face go be like Oyinbo road with plenty
lanes. Some time I dey wonder if some of dem get mirror for house. He dey one man wey I
know for our village, the man dey dark pass the pot wey my grandmother dey take cook Tuwo
for Sokoto. The next time wey I see the man, he be like Michael Jackson wey dey poor. I
think say na Iwin (devil) na him I see. And the man think say him be Mr Universe. I beg my
brother and sister, if you dey do am go stop am because the end no dey good. I know plenty
old people wey do this thing for a long time, now if you see dem, dem body be like person
wey fire burn. The thing no look good atall atall. Another thing be say, doctor say de
thing na health hazzard, he no good for our skin. A person wey truly like you no go care
whether you be like skin or dark skin. Na the thing wey dey inside na him want. I know say
there plenty people wey be say if dem see o say you bleach, de first thing wey go enter
their korokoro head be say you be ashewo and Alatika, and dem no go respect you. I beg na
here me go stop, make una dey do jeje oo, I go see una tomorrow because my God don say so.

Una Don
Hear This?: Amala, Gari and Lafu Better For our Brain..
I don hear another one my
people, dem talk say this one na realy eye opener for our people wey go do anything to
leave our Obodo. Na inside Journal of American Medical Association dem talk am say the
research wey dem do between our Yoruba people for Ibadan and Black Americans wey dey live
for Indiana for America. Dem talk say during reseach wey dem do for Five years, dem come
found out say Africans wey dey leave for Africa get better brain pass our Black American
Brethren because of the thing wey we dey wack for Nigeria. I guess say all these Gari,
Amala and Lafun wey we dey chop with Ewedu no dey bad for our body. Na wa o my people,
before I remember when I be small pikin wey people go dey talk say Gari no good for Eyes.
I know say plenty people including me go take bad eyes pass brain wey no dey work. Make
una come see o, plenty people for Africa especially our people for Nigeria go dey complain
say American food better pass our own. Dem talk say people wey dey live for America dey
get fine body pass us . But me I dey among people wey believe say the thing no be so. The
thing be say if to say our Leaders for Nigeria no dey thief our Oil money wey dem for take
improve our lives, all these Kwashiokor faces wey dey waka for our road like Zombies no go
too dey happen. But me I thank God say at least dem talk better thing about our food. As
my brother wey dey for America dey say, him talk say plenty people especially Black
Americans no want come Africa because every time wey dem show us for Television na people
wey hungry don kill and small pikin wey flies dey follow na him dem dey see. Because of
that plenty of dem no want hear Africa affair for ear.
As dem talk say the kind thing wey we dey
chop for Nigeria na him make us get better Brain pass our counterparts for Obodo America,
I guess say plenty of our People wey dey there go start dey force their pikin make dem dey
wack Eba, Ogbono, Tuwo and Crayfish, if dem no want make dem become Vegetable wey dem
reach 60. All these our Tokunbos dem wey be say na so so Burgers and Fries dem want wack
go soon dey drink Gari and Ogi everyday. But the question wey I want ask the people wey do
this reseach be say which time wey dem go do one for our Elders for Nigeria wey be say
small time as soon as dem old small, you go see dem dey put bandage for legs when no be
say dem get wound for body? I guess say that one no need foreign reseach as our expert for
Nigeria- me Pa Omugo know say na the waka wey we dey wakaabout na him cause am. Una know
say for Obodo Oyinbo dem no too dey waka as plenty people get motor. And for here, plenty
of our Elders sabi all these shotcuts wey be say dem go reach their destination before
person with motor reach the place. Since this one na eyes problem as motor dey get old if
dem drive am too much na thing wey dey happen to Legs wey don reach Kontagora, Enugu and
Ibadan come back .
My fellow Obodians, una see say our
country no dey bad after all, if una hear person wey dey pack commot go Obodo America,
make una tell am the thing wey Americans talk say our brain for Nigeria dey better pass
our counterparts for Obodo America. And he go good make he let that brain work for here
instead wey him go turn an to use brain for Ameria. Na here I go stop, make una enjoy una
weekend as I go try for my own.

Our Governors for South
East Want Cause Katakata
How una dey my people, I hope say una
dey manage? As I talk yesterday, I beg make una no vex with me o. All the
jagbanjatis wey I dey do before, I promise say the thing no go happen again. Na here I go
rest, make I no take my own disturbunaas we begin our next comment.
Wetin dey wrong with our Governors for South East wey be say sometimes you go think their
brain na their yansh he dey. No be two weeks ago I read am say dem do meeting with some
leaders dem. After meeting, na him dem come announce say dem go make sure say the next
president for our country go be from our area. No be say no person for our tribe wey
no sabi govern our country but the thing be say I no think say 2003 be the right time.
Ever since Uncle Sege from South West don become President na him some of our Leaders for
North don dey complain say the man dey marginalize dem. Dem come talk say come 2003, dem
no go support our current President. When the thing no come sell for public na him
dem come shift gear say no be say dem want make the next President come from North, the
thin be say dem no want the current President win again. Na from there dem come start
another Propaganda as Politicians dey talk am.
Dem talk say
dem go support Presidential Candidate from South East. Na all of us know say
relationship between our Leaders for South East and South West don improve and dem don dey
gree well well ever since this our Democracy start. As I see am, some of our Leaders for
North don start another wayo wey dem go take dabaru the alliance. Na the reason we dey see
plenty of these Rogue Leaders dey go South East. Dem dey pretend like say dem be our
Leaders for South East friends. As the thing don dey enter our yeye South East Governors
heads, na him make dem talk say dem go do anything under their power wey go make our next
President come from the area. The question wey I want ask our Governors for South East be
say how many of these their new found Friends dey there wey dem dey kill plenty of our
people for Kaduna during Sharia riot?
The thing wey I go talk be
say make dem think am well well before dem allow these opputunists come between dem and
their counterparts for South West. Wetin go happen if the next president come come from
South East and the same thing wey these same Agirasha Politicians dey complain about come
happen, who go come support our Politicians for South East? Una know say plenty of our
South West Leaders no go forget as we all sabi say Yoruba people too no dey forgive and
forget. As dem dey talk for Yoruba land, the Cane wey dem take beat the first Wife still
dey for Roof and never dry, and na the same one dem go take beat the new wife if she no
behave herself. He go good if our South East Governors think before dem leap. He go good
make dem behave like person wey get backbone. Make dem no allow this divide and conquer
wey some Politicians want use for dem take place. No be say I dey support Uncle Sege, but
if the man go lose him post, he go good if him do am without their help. People no go talk
say because the man no fit govern our country na him make am lose the election, dem go
talk say na because plenty of our Governors turn our people against am.
If our Governors for South
East let these Barawo Politicians come between dem and their counterparts for West, I no
think say either region go smell the Presidency again as these Opputunists don dey dey lay
the groundwork. Na the thing wey happen for 40 years wey be say plenty of our past
President na from our North. And the thing wey pain me most be say, plenty of my people
for North no benefit for the thing. Na all of us sabi say the Asewo Policians
dem na their own pockets and family dem sabi. As wiseman for my village dey talk. one word
don dey enough for the wise.
Na here I go
stop, make una take am easy o.

Who Want Become The Next Pa 'Mugo?
How una dey my people, I
hope una enjoy una weekend? As our Company dey expand, some benefits wey our Visitors and
Viewers dey enjoy don dey dey difficult for us to provide. We know say plenty of una dey
enjoy Pa 'Mugo (motor mouth man) as he sabi talk about our People, our habits, cultures,
norms, religions, everything wey dey wrong and good about our Obodo. The man also sabi
talk Politics and the people in Government especially the rogues wey we call our Leaders,
and last not the least, our beloved Country Nigeria, the place wey love to hate. This na
country wey be say people all over the world dey call Ogbologbo. Plenty of us wey dey live
for the place na Trouble, I never see country wey be say people wey no get money go dey
Sakara person wey get and him go dey do like say na him Papa get the whole country. But
make I no get carry away.
As I dey talk before, with this thing in
mind na him make Management talk say make we ask some of our People if dem want go dey
write the thing since work don dey dey too much for Pa Omugo. In the meatime, Pa Mugo go
continue dey talk him talk but we hope say before this month finish we go find a taker. I
beg my people, this vacancy no dey pay money now, we hope say as the thing continue dey
grow small small , the Management and the person go fit sit down and talk about how much
Kobo dem go dey give am. We ask everybody including our Omoges dem make dem apply as the
thing no mean say because the name na Man own make our Women dem no apply. As people for
Obodo Oyinbo dey talk am, we no dey discriminate at all. Whether you be "short Pebu
for Surulere or Dongo enter wrong house for Idi Araba", as long as you sabi Pidgin
English we go take you. Please if you know say you and Queen Elizabeth for England go the
same school please make you just sit down for your house and dey enjoy your Shakespeare
because we no want person we go dey take grammar kill us for here as plenty of us na
standard Six we reach for School. As for Mr/Mrs Ogogoro, if you know say your mouth dey
marry to your Beer, I beg make you no apply as we no want person wey be say when we ask am
make he send him work, na Mr Gulder go dey comot for him computer . We want person wey go
dey reliable, and by the way, we encourage our fellow citizens around the world make dem
apply as the thing wey dem dey call INTERNET don make communication better for all of us,
as person wey dey Ajegunle and Victoria Island fit dey yab from their own Parlors as long
as our Chief NEPA no take light.Our people wey no sabi Muritala Airport go fit put himself
inside Computer wey dey him brother house for Germany. Na wa o for Oyinbo, dem go soon dey
make person parts, I no mean the one for Jankara Market o.
Na here I go stop my people, We go dey
talk tomorrow as our God, Allah, Olorun, Chineke and Osanobua don tell us yesterday.

Our City Council Don Become Signboard Chaser
How una dey my people, I
beg say una no hear from me. Na our systems for Office dey do yanga, I hope say una go
forgive us. My people wetin dey wrong with our Local government wey be say anytime dem see
Business Sign board for road or on top of building dem go think say na automatic money be
that for dem. No be last year we sit down for office na him dem come bring paper say our
company owe dem money. When our Oga see the paper him think say na people dey play with
am. Dem tell am say na the thing wey he owe our Local Government be that. I know say
plenty of una go talk say why we no want pay tax if we dey run business for Lagos. No be
say we no want pay dem but the thing be say dem tell my oga say the thing na from 1998
through 2000. As una know no be say our Oga no want pay the money but the thing be say
that year wey dem talk our Oga still dey for America. Na around last year June na him our
Oga register the company with our Government. As we dey argue with dem for office na him
we come ask dem say how dem tay know say we don open for business? Na him dem come tell us
say na the sign wey we put on top of our Office na the thing wey dem see be that. Na him
our Oga come ask dem say since when dem don dey see the sign, dem come talk say na since
1998. My people na wa for our govenment o, the way I see the people he be like say no be
our government send dem. Una know as our people be, if fit be say our government no send
dem, dem go talk say make dem go use gbaju e for this new company. But the problem be say
our Oga na real Padi, him too no dey part with him money. Another thing be say the man
sabi people for our Government. But the thing wey I like about the man be say him no too
dey go to dem because him no believe that kind thing. Una know say the man tell dem say
him no go pay as he never make money for the thing. And this na true, the man since wey he
start business, na from his personal accout he dey take dey pay us. But make una no talk
say na me tell una this o, as we know say the man get office for America, if he be say na
that one he dey take pay us money but as una know these Yankee guys dem get small wayo for
body, una no fit sabi with dem. As dem sense say our Oga mean business, dem come comot our
office. Una sabi say last week, I see these yeye people dey trouble some company wey dem
just open around our area. My people wetin this world dey turn to? If to say na so our
government dey collect money, no wonder plenty company no dey pay dem money. How dem go
take run our city government if the people wey dey in charge no sabi which time person
open business? Which person dey in charge of Lagos Island local government self wey be say
dem no sabi which company open for business for their area and which time dem
open am. Me I dey think say na our
government dey give person permit wey go allow am make operating the thing for the area.
Na the thing wey I dey talk be that about this yeye disease wey we get for our Obodo.
Plenty people wey get business for our Obodo no dey reach the Ministry before dem go get
business license, the reason be say the yeye people wey dey in charge for the thing don
chop the money finish. How right hand go sabi wetin left hand dey do when plenty of these
offices na their own dem sabi? If to say the people wey dem dey send make dem go collect
money dey work well with the people wey dey give permit, dem for don know say our company
na last year dem open am for Nigeria no be three years ago wey dem talk. Even self, which
kind nonsense I dey talk for our obodo, how many of our Ministry dey keep proper record
for office self? Na the thing wey I like for company wey get computer for office be that,
if to say our government don allocate some money for computer, all this yeye thing go don
reduce small. As for people wey one open Business for our Obodo, my advice to dem be say
make dem make sure say dem no put Signboard for their area, if not, na these yeye
Signboard watchers go dey knock for their door everyday. As for our palava with these yeye
people, our Oga don receive letter say if we no pay dem their money, dem go carry us go
court. My people make una no surprise if una see me for Television dey defend our Company
o. Na here I go stop my people, I beg if una get tory wey una want make I talk, make una
send me email.

Nigeria Here We come ...
How una dey my people, I
hope una dey kampe? I don here another one o, I hear say plenty of our people wey dey
Obodo Oyinbo want pack come home. Dem talk say since our country don dey better, dem want
come home come stay. Which country dem dey refer to my fellow Obodians, I no think say na
this our Obodo Nigeria? Na everybody wey dey home sabi say country hard. Which person dey
tell this story self? I no think say the person na this our country he dey live. How
person go talk say the country don better when plenty of us no fit find work and people no
fit find food eat, the Light wey our Government promise us since dem begin this their
Democracy dey get worst. Na everyday we dey hear say Men of the Underworld dey attack
people for house. No be say I no want make dem come home, but as I promise people say I no
go sugar coat anything especially if the thing concern our people. Plenty of these our
Away people don tay wey dem no get water for house. Plenty of dem for Obodo Oyinbo no dey
go through the yeye things wey our Government dey put us through. How many of us get phone
where we dey live, and how many family fit afford motor? I hear say plenty Nigerian
Families dey drive plenty motor for Obodo country, when some towns for Nigeria no fit
boast of one family wey get car for their area. As for crime own, no be say he no dey for
Oversea countries, but the thing no too dey plenty. Plenty of these our people don tay wey
dem dey live for Oyinbo country and some of dem, their pikin never sleep for house wey
light no dey. But these na some of the palava wey I no think say dem go fit handle if dem
venture into our domain.
This question be say how many of these
people dey ready for our Obodo? As for my opinion o, I no think say dem go fit survive our
Obodo self. The reason be say plenty of these people no dey serious at all. Una know say
every time wey dem come home for Holiday dem go bring plenty money because dem want come
show off. Some people go come home come spend 3 weeks with Five thousand Dollars for
Pocket, how dem no go live like Kings and Queens with that plenty dough. When dem reach
our Obodo na so dem go dey live like say tomorrow no dey. Before una know, the money don
finish and dem go come run back to their foreign base. The thing be like person wey go
visit him people for village, dem go think say na him own Lagos as he dey wear better
cloth and shoes. If he come get one Jalopy wey he dey push around, before una know am, the
villagers don make am chief. Because of this kind enjoyment, some fools among our Away
people go think say na so the thing go be if dem come home finally. No be say dem get one
business for our Obodo wey dem dey nurse already o, dem think the few change wey dem carry
go last dem for ever. The thing wey I no understand for the thing be say plenty of dem no
dey think through this thing before dem jump on am with their two feet. Dem don forget say
once dem move home dem don become one of us, the small money wey dem get go dissapear
because the relatives wey dey visit dem when dem come home for Vacations no dey go back
their village again. Na for that small house dem go dey live. Na so he be for our Obodo o,
anytime wey one of us get some small change for hand, the whole family go pack comot
Village come dey live with the Uncle/Aunty wey just return from Oyinbo Country. Our Away
Brothers and Sisters no dey get honeymoon before Family problem start dey come from left
and right. Na the thing wey dey make some people pack their load and return Obodo country
be that.
As I talk before, I no say make people no
come home or no help their family. The thing wey I dey talk be say before dem pack comot
Oyinbo Country, make dem plan am well. He go good if dey start small business or find
better job first before dem pack the whole family come. I go even advice say the ones wey
don marry, make the husbands come try am first, dem as things improve for dem, the wife
and pikin fit come join dem. Na all of us know say he no dey easy for Obodo country but my
advice for our people be say if dem want come home come dey live, make dem make sure say
dem get one small burgalow wey dem go fit call their own, if not, na landlord rent palava
go kill dem before their time. Once the rent own don comot, the rest na small thing.
But as I tell my brother and his friends,
make dem still dey simmer for Obodo country as our country still get plent palava. He go
take another three or four years before we go fit talk say the country don better. Na here
I go stop, make una think before una do am o.

Private Jet: Our President Na Money Gobbler
How una dey my people, I
hope una don ready for the Weekend? Wetin I hear say our President dey lobby for
Presidential Jet. Na yesterday my source for Abuja tell me say Uncle Sege don send some of
his people make dem go talk to our Legislators about money for new Plane for him.I also
hear say he go carry him case to Nigerian Public, say if he tell the public about the
thing we go fit put pressure on our National Assembly dem.
My fellow Obodians, the country dey burn
but our President the plane wey him go take dey carry him Concubines na him dem burn am
for chest. Na everybody want better thing, our Politicians dem want dey enjoy like the
Oyinbo people dem, but dem no fit deliver better service like dem. I understand say the
old one get problem and na almost everyday the thing dem break down for Airport. But if
our President and his fellow Politicians get shame no be money wey dem go take buy Plane
na him dem go be their Priority as the country dey so. Una want tell me say the man no fit
dey take commercial Airline like everybody? I know since him be our President Economy no
go good for am, we no mind if he enter First Class. But for him to talk say he need a new
Jet na that one me I no support.
No be last or so I talk say our Senators
dem no need Peogeot 406, na so I believe say our President no need new Plane. If he no fit
enter Commercial Airlines, make him sit him yansh for Abuja. The way our Politicians dey
go so, I not think say the money wey dem collect for Wireless License go last. Una notice
say since the day wey dem announce say we collect Billions of Naira na him different
Budgets dey appear for Abuja. These our Politicians no dey see money for eyes, I know say
the same thing wey happen for Oil Money na him go happen for this Phone money.
As I talk before, yesteday na Peogeot 406,
today na Private Jet. Before una know, the money don finish. Small time dem go create yeye
Panel say dem want probe how the money take disappear for Bank, as if to say no be dem
chop am. The thing wey I no sabi be say with all these problems wey we get for our Obobo
se na Motor and Private Jet na him be our Politician plan for our Country? If you go
around our country plenty people no fit find work. Na everyday people dey die because dem
no fit find food chop. Plenty hosptal for Nigeria no get money to buy medicine because our
Goverment no want give dem money but dem get money wey dem go take build Abuja Stadium.
The Oil money wey dem for pump into our Economy, that don take style appear for our
Leaders Bank Accounts for Oyinbo land. I no think say because our President no get Private
Jet, people no go respect us. Ajala travel around the world wey the man do last year don
do, make him find work for us here. The money wey dem go take buy Jet, make dem take
recruit people for Nigeria Police, as men of the under world don become our Kings. My
people the time don come wey I go say Adios, I go dey see una on Monday, make una dey take
am easy o.

2001
Our Obodo Don Turn To Land Of
Barika De de my people, I hope say una dey take am easy? As I dey
sleep jeje for house na him my cousin pikin come call me say I get visitor for parlor. Na
him I come tie my rapper come follow am enter our parlor. As I enter the place na one of
my Brother friends from America na him I see. I come ask am wetin he still dey do for our
Obodo? The man tell me say sebi him tell me say he dey work on one business for Abuja na
the thing wey dey delay am be that. The Bobo come tell me say the reason wey he stop for
my house na to ask me if I want follow am go the place. To cut the story short I follow am
go Abuja. The last time wey I visit the place na for Night and our yeye NEPA get problem
with Transmission as usual again, so I no too see the place well well. But my people this
life no dey fair at all, and he no good make person no get money o. That our Abuja fine o
my fellow Obodians make I no tell una lie. I know say I dey among the people wey talk say
na waste of our money when dem want build the place and we no need another capital as the
one wey we get we no fit maintain am. But our government try for this thing my people, if
you enter the place you go think say na another world you dey no be this our country. But
as the thing fine so my fellow Obodians, no be kind place wey me and una go fit survive as
things dey deer so. Plenty Civil Servant wey dey work for Abuja na outside town dem dey
live as the houses wey dey for Abuja Capital cost pass some houses for Victoria am dem.
Food nko, make you no mention that one my Brother, the money wey you go fit eat for better
restaurant for Lagos na him you go take pay for small Eba for yeye Buka outside Abuja. As
everybody sabi say the place na for rich people, na so our Night workers full am too. That
place don turn to brothel my people. I know say plenty people go talk say that one na old
news for our Obodo, but this one wowo pass Lagos own. The Asewos dem get different class,
if to say na big yansh na him be your style wetin dem dey take that one do, and for Size
Koliye (small yansh own) how many you want, you go choose so tay you go think na Women
Conference you dey for Thailand. And as those Senior Girls plenty so una know say you no
fit compare dem to our University Girls own. Dem plenty so tay, no corner wey you go for
Abuja wey you no go see their print for all over the place. And dem get plenty of dem wey
you go think say dem be Models for America. All these pikin dem, plenty of dem their papa
no know say na University of Bodydey for Abuja na there be their school.
As the thing poku my people, he don become
epidemic for our Country. I go fit say if our country no improve and the thing continue
like this, he go reach stage wey be say half of our pikin dem go don matriculate for these
kind Universities. I no think say you go fit find a place for our Obodo, wey no get this
problem. The thing wey I no sabi be say our Government no dey take am serious at all. And
dem no fit talk say dem no know about the disease because na dem be the big financiers for
the trade. Plenty time you go see our yeye Men dey inside car with young girls wey no be
say na their sister born dem. Plenty of our Politicians dem, the women wey dem carry for
side no be their wives. My people I pity our young boys dem o, because he no go surprise
me if plenty of dem end up marry Ex-Asewos. As the thing be so, our women dem don lose
their value because plenty of our Leaders see am as fringe benefit for their Positions and
society and dem no see am as big problem. Plus the yeye rogues dem, dem go rather buy
Peogeot 406 for themselves, instead make dem take the money open business for us. Na
everybody know say the big contributor to this disease na this yeye work wey plenty of our
women graduates no fit find. My own be say I hope our new Minister for Health go take am
as his priority before our country turn to another Rwanda, where plenty of our African
brothers and Sisters die because of hatred. But as for our own, the war na with SPREADER
HIV. And the last time I check for CNN, dem never find the cure yet. Na here I go stop my
people, make una take am easy o.

Overseas Here I come Become Nightmare for Lagos
Mumus
My people I no know say we
still get these plenty Mumus for Nigeria especially for Lagos o. Me I think say as we don
get Federal Capital for Abuja, we no go dey get "Johnny Just Come" for Lagos
again. But our people proof me wrong. No be late last year my brother dey tell me about
some new gimmicks wey him read for Internet. The thing be say some people create Website
wey dem talk say dem represent one Territory wey dey near Canada and US for North America.
Dem come talk say as their Island small so, dem dey look for Citizens from around the
world make dem come become residents and Citizens. The territory name na Republic of
Lomar. Dem talk say for dem to become a country, United Nations talk say their population
must increase if dem want make plenty country recognise dem, When my brother tell me about
the thing, he come talk say he fit bet his last kobo say plenty Nigerians go jump for that
Scam as people want comot Nigeria real bad. I come tell am say, no Foreigner fit use 419
for us since na we be the master for the thing. But na me be una for true, una know say no
be only dem take our money dem even use our people to use 419 for us. Na last week I read
am for News say plenty Business Centres for Lagos dey accept registrations for the
citizenship with up to 4000.00 Naira payment. I hear say some business centres dey boast
say dem make a killing for this Wayo.
My fellow Obodians, the thing wey I no
sabi say no be only illiterates fall for this 419 o, I hear say some people wey be
Professor for University even register their families for the thing. I remember the last
time wey I pass Business Centre wey dey for our area for Ajegunle, if una see as the line
long so, una go think say na Father Christmas dey give give out Food for the place. For
this Business Centre, no person wey dey live for our area wey no sabi say the people wey
dey run am na Big 419 Lord dem be. But the thing no stop our people as plenty Nigerians
want comot this our Obodo country real bad.
I sabi say some people na from their mama
belle dem take Mumu name for body, but for the rest of our Professors and Bankers, se dem
want tell me say dem no fit carry their map and find where the Island dey self. My people
una sabi say this place wey dem dey call Republic of Lomar no dey for this our Planet. I
no know about Mars o, but I know say he no dey among countries wey we get for this our
planet Earth. Even self if to say na true true the place dey and dem dey look for
citizens, una think say na our type dem go dey look for especially the ones wey no get
money? Wetin make these our Pa Jimoh types think say if Lomar Republic want increase their
populations na Black people from Africa dem go dey look for wey go come become public
liability for their heads. Una see my people, plenty of our people no like this our
country at all at all, una see how desperate dem be wey be say plenty of dem want sell
their birthright for 1,500 Naira without blinking their Big Kokoroko eyes. But if we look
am self, I no go blame dem as the people we call Leaders self no help matter. As long as
their families dey travel back and forth from Obodo Oyinbo with our Oil Money, dem no care
whether all of us carry our bags and leave this country. I know say plenty of dem go dey
talk say he go good if all of us wey dey poor comot so that dem go fit enjoy our Oil money
well well.
The question wey I go ask our Government
dem be say wetin dem go do to these people wey dey use 419 for their fellow desperate
citizens. Una want tell me say our Law Enforcement People no dey for town when all these
things dey happen for Lagos. Haba our Leaders, na so una go dey look wey our people go dey
oppress themselves just because dem want become the next legislators from their area
tomorrow. Na beg I dey beg our Government make dem arrest all these Wayo Business Centres
wey dey use 419 for our people. As for the Professors and Bankers wey lose their money, I
hope say una no recover una money because una be disgrace for una professions. Una know
better unless the certificate una get na for Oluwole una take buy am. Na here I go stop my
people, I hope say plenty of us go think before we put our hard earn money for something
wey dey too good to be true.

How una weekend my people,
I hope say una enjoy am well well. Wahala don dey brew for North as my people for Middle
Belt dey talk say dem go form their own group whether our Leaders for Core North like am
or not. Una remember since last year na him our people for Middle don dey talk say dem
want their own separate Identity from our people for Core North. Dem talk say dem dey tire
for the thing wey my people for Core North dey do dem. My source tell me say plenty
Leaders dem for Middle Belt dem no dey happy the way our Leaders for Core North react when
Uncle Sege appoint plenty people from that region. Dem talk say plenty Core North Leaders
dem no happy as our President select people from Middle Belt to represent North.
My people make ask una something, se una
think say my people for Middle Belt justify say dem want their own identity or my people
for Core North dey right to vex? But as I see am, I no sabi why our Leaders for Core North
go no dey happy especially if the people want create their own group. No be today or
tomorrow people don dey do am for our Obodo. No be Nigeria dem dey wey our Past Leaders
dem create Mid-Western Region from Western Region? How dem think say those people too feel
about the thing. Na the same thing happen for East wey our Head of States create Cross
Rivers from Eastern Region. I remember say during that time when those regions want
separate dem talk say since dem no dey speak the same language with Yoruba and Ibo people,
he go good if dem go their own separate way. Plenty of dem even talk say the leaders of
those Major Groups too dey discriminate against dem. No be say I fault those people wey
want their own identity especially if the dominant tribe dey oppress dem too much. Me I
support am well well especially if you think say the majority group too dey use you and
dem no dey respect you. As for our Core North leaders, if na true dem think say Middle
Belt na part of dem, why be say dem dey talk say our present govenment dey marginalize
dem? The last time I check, plenty people wey Uncle Sege select for his govenment na
Northerners dem be. Unless na true our Core North Leaders think say those people wey come
from Middle Belt no be proper Northerners. And if to say na the case be that, I agree with
dem say na true our President marginalize dem.
As he don tay wey Core North Leaders dey
talk about marginalization, why dem come dey angry when Leaders for Middle Belt talk say
dem want form separate Political Base? The thing wey I go tell our Leaders for Core North
be say dem 'no fit chop their cake, and come get am for hand at the same time". If
dem think say our people for Middle Belt na part of dem, make dem stop dey complain or dey
talk say our current President no select plenty people from their region. But if to say
dem just dey use the people when the situation favour dem, I no want hear their complaint
say people want turn their brothers against dem since dem no consider dem as part North.
He don tay wey our Leaders for Core North don dey use Middle Belt, I hope say dem go get
that through their heads say those people go soon form their own Identity whether dem like
am or not. The time wey one group go dey use another one don pass, plenty people for our
Obodo don wise up now. More grease to our Leaders for Middle Belt elbows as Oyinbo people
dey talk am. Na here I go stop, make una do am jeje o.

Our Neigbhours Na
Big Oleh
How una dey my people, I
hope una dey cope with these our so called African Neigbhours? Make ask una my people, how
we tay dey live among some of our neigbours wey for Day time dem be our friends and when
Night come, na dem be the Ants wey dey kill us small small. The last time, I talk am say
some of these our African Brothers na bad news for us as dem dey kill our people for their
countries. But today, the kind thing wey dem dey do for night, na real jibiti. I go tell
una something, other than some few friends like Ghana, Togo, Guinea and few others, plenty
of our west african brothers dem na Big Barawos. Se una dey hear say plenty of the people
wey dey thief our motor and kill our people for night na from neigbhouring countries. The
question be say no be today or yesteday wey we dey hear say plenty of these people go
thief our motor and kill plenty of our people and then come run go their countries with
the goods. Make ask una self, which benefit wey we dey get from our neigbhours self wey
our government no fit close our border on dem? No be yesteday I hear say dem find some
goods for Republic of Benin and Chad Republic? I even hear say the people wey dey drive
the motor, na some Oga for Army and Police. I even hear say one of dem na Security
personnel for their Country President. My people una hear that? This crime be like say
state sponsor own and our government sit down there dey act like big Brother.
If to say na me be our President, if our
neigbhours no fit help us fight these men of the underworld wey dey enter their country
with our motor wey dem thief for our land, na economic sanction na him I go take kill dem.
And I know say plenty of dem na our oil dem dey rely on and dem no dey pay for the thing
self. But plenty of these our Leaders no too get sense for head, because if you go some of
these countries, crime no too dey. Na the reason wey plenty Oyinbo dey go these yeye
countries dem go invest instead make dem come Nigeria come help create job for our youths.
Plenty Foreign Investors think say the crime wey dey occur for Nigeria na our people dey
cause am. For dem eyes Nigeria no safe but her neigbhours na Paradise. Most foreigners
think say plenty of us na Barawos, As we dey get bad names these yeye countries dey dey
enjoy. I don talk am before, if dem no fit be good neigbhours make we boycott all of dem
as I no sabi the benefit wey wey dem get from dem self? Instead na crime dem dey
perpetuate against our Land. I hope say our Leaders dem go make their Leaders understand
say if dem no stop these Gangs dem for their border, we too go do our own export to their
country. As we plenty so, there are plenty AREA BOYS wey go volunteer for the task as long
as we promise dem some Igbo.
My people, make we dey serious, these
crime don dey get out of control. I no talk say na only Foreigners dey do am, but he go
good if some of our neigbhours dem take some responsibilites check all these motor wey dey
enter their countries without our approval.
He go good too if our Custom dem go start
dey do some work instead wey be say na chop money dem go dey run after for our Border. How
these people dey take carry the motor pass our border self? Una want tell me say we no dey
get Security for border again? I hope say our government go make our Custom dey work with
our Police wey be say every time wey dem snatch motor, the Police go radio all Customs wey
dey for Border. Any Custom wey allow the motor pass, na firing squad he go face because to
me that na crime against the country. Na him be say he plan with foreign agents to dabaru
our Country be that. Na the thing wey Oyinbo people dey call Treason be that and na big
one.
Na here I go stop my people, make una
enjoy una weekend.

Religion Welfare: No Government Subsidy for Hajj
Allah Akbar, that one mean
say Peace to una my fellow Obodians. Wetin be this thing wey I dey hear? Dem talk say some
Muslim Leaders want make our Government help pay Hajj money for people wey dey go Mecca.
The problem no be say our Government no dey help pay for the thing but this year the
Islamic Religion Leaders for our Obodo talk say the money wey our Government contribute
dey small. Dem talk say the fees wey governemnt annouce say Pilgrims go pay dey too
plenty. Before I start my talk I go let una know say me I no get anything against my
Moslem Brothers and Sisters since my Mama and my Grandmother (may dem Souls rest in Peace)
na faithful Moslems. Plenty of my family dem no dey miss their normal prayer routine
everyday. As I we don settle this make I come continue with my talk. Which kind nonsense
be this self? I even hear say last year our Government dem help pay Hajj Money. I know say
our Prophet Mohammed talk am for Koran say he go good if every muslim attend pilgrimage at
least one time for him life time. As some people tell me, he dey for Koran say if you fit
afford am, make you go. Why we go dey help people go the place when we talk say our
Country na Seclular one. As we no dey do am before why we come dey start for now? I no
want hear the excuse say because Exchange Rate dey high, plenty Muslims no go fit afford
am. Na the reason wey I dey against the thing be that. If people no know, na our Foreign
Reserve na him dem dey empty so, na the reason wey our Naira dey go down because we too
dey waste money. Plenty people want go the place during their live time including my
family dem but as dem no get money, dem just stay home dey watch am for Television. Me I
no talk say make people no go but I get problem if na our Government go dey help pay for
the thing.
I remember about two weeks ago wey one
Imam dey talk say if our Government dey help pay for Sports why dem no fit put plenty
money down for Mecca own. I know say me I no too read but as I dey talk before, I get
common sense. Na him be say the person wey talk that nonsense he no think before he open
his mouth. How person go dey compare Recreation to Religion before he make his point dey
beyond me my people. As I hear say our Government dey help pay for Hajj, I hope dem go
help pay Pagan Festival too if our Indigenous Belief Worshippers dem want commot Nigeria
go their Sacred Place? Because as I see am, the thing wey good for Salim, go dey nice for
Sangomola o. I guess say our Government too dey help pay for people wey dey go Jerusalem.
As I see am, I no think say our Government
sabi wetin him want do with our Oil money. How many people wey dey go Mecca no get work?
Una want tell me say since the thing for Koran talk say if you fit afford the thing, make
you go at least one time, which kind business wey our Government get for the thing when
plenty Nigerians no fit eat three square meals a day, and our Government dey put money for
people wey no be say Food na their problem for house? As I talk before, the people wey dey
make policies for our Obodo self, I no think say dem get sense. Dem want tell me say all
those small pikin wey dey waka around the street because food no dey their belle go dey
think about Mecca? Person wey want go the place and no fit afford am, make him sit him
behind for Nigeria dey read the thing for News. He no means say because you no go Mecca,
God go think say you no love am. As all of us know for Nigeria, there are plenty Alhajas
and Alhajis wey be say the attrocities wey dem dey commit against fellow Nigerians pass
devil own. Plenty people wey dey go for the thing now na for Fashion since their behavior
no dey according to our Prophet Mohammed, Salah Ah Salah.
I go advice our Government say if dem no
sabi wetin dem want do with our money, plenty people dey for Mushin, Ajegunle, Sabo Gida,
Aba, Gbegi, Jos, Ontsha, Sokoto wey no fit find food eat. The money go help a whole
Unemployed Nigerians wey dey die of hunger.
Na here I go stop my people, make una
always think about una Neigbhour first before una waste that money on wants not needs.

Peugeot 406 For National Assembly Members
My people our Politicians
don start again o. Na last week my Source for Abuja Federal Capital dey tell me say our
National Assembly plan say dem go buy Peugeot 406 for our Money grubbing Senators. Na wa
for us for Nigeria o, anytime wey our leaders see some surplus for our Treasury if dem
never chop am finish dem no dey rest. As Federal Government announce say last year our
Obodo gain plenty money for Oil and last week na him we hear say the Auction wey dem do
for Wireless Phone own, the money wey dem gather pass the thing wey dem plan before. As
soon as our Politicians hear that, na so dem begin dey announce different kind contracts
wey no go improve our lives. Anytime wey our Leaders see money, dem go dey behave like
small pikin wey see Sweet for Market. If dem no finish the thing, their mind no go dey at
ease. My fellow Obodians, which kind motor wey these Onyeochi dey buy now? Se dem want
tell us say since we send dem go Abuja na Molue dem dey enter go work? Wetin happen to all
the money wey dem get for Foreign accounts, una want tell me say dem no fit use that money
buy motor? I no know if some of una don go Abuja before, but the place no be for me and
you o. Things dey dear for the place so tay the bread wey me and una dey buy for 50 Naira,
na almost 100 Naira dem dey sell am for the place. And if una come go National Assembly,
una go think say na Oyinbo Car lots una dey as plenty expensive cars poku for the place. I
no even think say dem get Datsun for the place self. Na so so BMW, Benz, Jaguar, Lexus,
Acura and other expensive motor I see for night for the place. As I talk before, the
reason why dem think say if dem buy Peugeot 406 dem go fit work, that one pass me o.
According to my Source for Abuja, na the thing wey one of the Leaders talk be that. Him
talk say the thing go improve work for National Assembly. This na one of the people wey be
caretakers for our Obodo be that o. I think say the Senators dem think say we be fool
self. Dem think say plenty of us na na "help me carry my Buba" person we
be. How come na just to chop money na him our Legislators sabi? Dem want tell me say dem
like as the country be so? If you go other states of the Federation, plenty people no fit
find money buy food as dem no get work. Some people self wey get job he be like say dem no
get anything as our Government no fit pay den salary. My people he be like say the only
way wey our Leaders go know say we mean business be say if we carry our wahala go their
neigbourhoods. Because these people think say dem dey do better job. I no sabi country wey
her Leaders go dey spend money like say Government Treasury na Atlantic Ocean with plenty
water? Since this their yeye Democratic Government start I never see any benefits for us
the commoners self. All of us just dey die slow death while our Pen Robber Politicians and
their families dey enjoy like say there is no tomorrow.
Na beg I dey beg everybody wey be serious
Nigerians say anytime wey una see these cronies dey drive that yeye car for road, na stone
make una take stone dem. I no sabi how people go dey this greedy wey be say dem only sabi
their own. I no sabi why dem think say the yeye car wey dem want buy go improve their
work? He be like say this our Politicians don dey Kolo self, because me I no fit explain
this one o. I hope say plenty of our Human Rights Organizations dem go condem this yeye
spending especially wey plenty Nigerians no fit find work. Na here I go stop my people
before these Barawos dem send me to Aro for Abeokuta.

Wahala
Wey Corruption Dey Cause For Our People
He go better my people, how
una dey? Today as I sit down for my house na him I see our government anti-bribery and
corruption message for television. I come say to my family say he go good if our
government dey serious about the thing. Na him my family come talk say some people na the
thing wey dem dey take chop be that since the salary wey dem dey get for work no plenty. I
come ask dem say, se una no know say na the thing wey dey spoil our country be that? Dem
come talk say people wey dey hungry and get family for house na dat one dem go chop? Na
him I come explain the thing to dem as teacher go tell him pupils for school. Na him I
come begin my people make una hear. Bribery and corruption na the thing wey make our
country be like this. I go tell una the wahala wey the thing dey cause. Danfo driver
comot him house dey go work, as him dey go, na him he see road block for road. As he see
the Police, him know say something go comot for him pocket. Police come ask am
wettin he carried for back, since the man know say if him no give dem money him no dey
comot for the place. He give dem some money and dey go. Una know say the man never make
money but he don dey give part of money wey him go make for dat dey to police. Another
palava na those Agberos for motor park. Before Driver drive comot he must settle dem, na
him be say dem go get their own share be that. When night come for him to deliver, him go
lie to his owner say him just dey come from police station, and he never work since
morning wey him comot. The man wey get the danfo no go make money for dat day be that. And
if to say the man na the only thing wey him dey rely on be that, him pikin wey dey school
no go get pocket money for school be that. The same thing go happen to Mama Oloja, the
only different be say she go pass the cost to you for market. And una go talk say thing
dey dear (expensive) for market. Doctor go wharf go get equipments wey him order from
Oyinbo country, as una know, if him no bribe dem for Tin Can Island, na there those him
machines wey him want use for him hospital go rotten. Since the man don pay plenty bribe
money for Wharf, when una go him clinic, he go increase the money for him service.
And if to say na emergency, wey be between life and death, if you no pay money, him
no go treat you. That is why plenty people dey die for our hospital if dem no get money.
Na the same problem dey happen for bank wey people go bribe before dem give dem loan. When
you don use half of loan money pay bribe, na the thing wey make some people no fit gree
pay bank the money wey dem loan dem be that.
Se una see my people, na the thing wey I
dey tell people be dat , make we think gan before we take that bribe.
Because, one way or the other, you go pay the thing unless we stop am. Na the ripple
effect of dat yeye cancer wey dem dey call corruption dey cause wahala for our people and
the country. This thing begin with all of us, Nigeria go better if we treat am right.

In An Ideal World : People We Want As Candidates
Nigeria go soon better my
people, make una pray for am. As we dey hear say plenty of our politicians don dey prepare
for next election, I come say make we talk about am small. The questions wey I want as una
be say which kind people wey we want make dem represent us, and wetin we go use as
criteria for the kind people we want? As for Presidential Election, se make we pick person
because he come from our area or na because dem be the best candidate for our Obodo?
As for the first question wey I ask una,
plenty people wey dey for government now if to say our country don advance for politics no
go qualify for their office. Some people dey talk say make we no allow anybody wey
overthrow Government before especially our general dem. Dem talk say people like
Babangida, Buhari, Diya, Aikoumu, and Abubakir no fit run for election since dem overthrow
sitting government. I dey in-support for the thing but with some reservations. I no go
agree say because person don dey for government before or because na Military person, he
no fit run for political office for our Obodo. Since these people whether dem be Soldiers,
doctors or ordinary commoners like me as long say dem be Nigerians, dem fit run for
anything wey dem like.
As for our past military leaders wey
overthrow government na only few of dem I go talk say no qualify. The first person na
Buhari and I thank God say I never hear say the man want run for Election. If una
remember, na the man and Late Idiagbon comot President Shagari for office. Na all of us
know say plenty people wey dey for Shagari government na rogues and dem dey corrupt but
since na we vote for dem, I no think say he dey proper make General Buhari and his
counterparts overthrow their government. I even hear say he dey against our Constitutions
make person overthrow government, but for Nigeria we no say plenty of our Soldier no dey
obey law of our land wey dem swear say dem go protect.
As for Babangida own, the only problem wey
dat want get be say apart from say he thief money na when he allow Democratic election and
he come cancel am again when his choice no win. I no go fault am say he overthrow our
Government since the government wey dey there before am dey illegal. As dem dey say for
Arithmetric, Zero cancel Zero. Since Buhari govenment na illegal one, we no fit fault
Babangida and his partners because dem overthrow am. If to say dem allow the person wey
win election stay for power, General Babangida and all the people wey take part in his
government go fit qualify for future Political offices. But since power wey dey hungry dem
no let dem use their God given brain, I no think say dem dey fit to run our Obodo again.
As I talk before, na during Babangida regime na him our Country come become scatter
scatter, Na during his regime na him our country come become like goats wey no get owner.
The people wey for look after our resources just distribute am among their families and
rogue friends. He go be great injustice if we allow am and the people wey serve under him
run for office for Nigeria even if the office na comon local government own. The man na
BIG TIME BARAWO, all the money wey he get we know our Military Officials no dey make that
kind salary. If we to say na so we dey pay our Military I for don join the thing when I
comot Standard 6.
Though Generals Diya and Aikoumu or wetin
be their title be second in command, since dem dey involve for the coup, dem no qualify to
run for office. Make dem ask dem how dey take get all these ill gotten wealth wey dem dey
display now. Dem want tell me say na the salary wey Army, Airforce or Navy pay dem na him
plenty like that? The only person wey I think say should run for political office if he
want to na him be General Abubakir. I know say I no sabi am well well but at least the
man, na him fellow officers put am there when that yeye Abacha die. And he no tay wey the
bobo return the country to civilian government. How many of our leaders go fit do that
kind thing other than Uncle Sege. Plenty of our leaders in the past na only their own dem
sabi, power too dey intoxicate dem; na the thing wey no make our country better be that.
Plenty of these people wey dey for
government now I no for sure say dem be rogue and dem no qualify to represent us. Make una
ask una self, how man of dem no dey for government before? All the money wey dem take run
for office, where una think say dem get am? Me I no remember the company or industry wey
dem own o. If to say na true dem get businesses, I no think say we go get this
unemployment problem at all. The only business dem sabi na to open companies wey no get
offices. Na so dem dey take style thief our money. Una never ask una selves why we get so
many General Contractors for Nigeria? Na everybody know say the fastest way to big money
for our Obodo na to become Contractor. From there your money don come be that. If dem give
you contract just pay the people some Family Support, the rest na your own. Small time we
go hear say you too don become Chief for Village be that. From there na Abuja terere, na
him be say you don arrive be that because you go soon become Senator Money.
As for people wey talk say make we dey
rotate the presidency. I no too support the thing since we no want dey select people
because dem be Yoruba, Ibo or Hausa. He go good if we dey vote for person because of what
dem do in the past or because we no say dem go make good politcial office holder. But as
una know for Nigeria, we no too dey vote for person because of their good work but na
because dem carry bags of rice and beans put for our yard before election. Nigeria
politics of today na how rich you be. Na the reason why for National Assembly na so so
Thief Millionaires we get for Legislators. I no agree because Obasanjo na Yoruba make we
vote for am; na the politics wey dey work for Nigeria be that now unless the other person
get plenty money. Kudos to my Yoruba people, dem be exceptions to the rule. Na everybody
know say plenty of dem no vote for Uncle Sege during last election but at the same time
the other Presidential candidate na also Yoruba man. But he no too get money plus the
power that be no too like am.
In an Ideal World, plenty of these people
wey hold political posts for our Obodo go dey for Kirikiri dey surfer because the thing
wey dem do na crime against humanity and our society. But make una look, as our
country no be ordinary country, I guess say make we dey rotate the thing. So that all the
Ethnic groups go feel like say dem belong whether dem be majority or na minority. The only
conditions be say we go make sure say the person qualify proper, get good reputation and
na proven leader. We no want person wey be say na money he go take buy the thing. These na
my dream for a better Nigeria, but as una sabi, I no think say this my fantazy go come
true o as our Obodo no be that kind country. Na here I go stop make una treat our country
well.

Our Life Style:
The Thing Wey Extended Family Dey Cause For Our Life
Life go better my people
make una dey take am easy. How una dey, I hope say una dey kampe? As we enter this new
year, I don talk say at least four times a month I go talk about our Life style for
Nigeria. Wetin una think about extended family for our Obodo? Make we take a hard look for
the thing self as he affect our life and family. If I start today for months, I no think
say I go fit finish the benefit wey we dey get for the thing . I remember when I dey
small, plenty times my mama (may her Soul rest in Peace) want go North go buy the thing
wey she go sell for Lagos, she go leave me with my Grandmother (may her Soul rest in
Peace) for months. As old as my Grandmother be, una know say the woman get about ten of us
wey she go dey look after at the same while my mama and her siblings go go market. I know
say plenty of us dey, wey grow up with our cousins for house. And as he be for Africa,
cousin and aunty no too dey common for our mouth especially if you be Yoruba as the thing
no dey for our Vocabulary. Na everybody be our Brother or Sister for our society. Our
Uncle pikin na brothers and sisters na him dem be to us. Na so the thing be for our Aunty
pikin too. If you mama no come back from market in time, you no go feel am as your aunty
go don fix food for you and her pikin. This thing common all over Africa as I hear. If a
family no get money to feed herself, other relatives no get choice but make sure say dem
help dem put food for belle. Because na real disgrace if your relatives dey surfer and you
come dey enjoy. God forbid, something bad happen to your relatives and na only you get
some small change for pocket. Na him be say you go dey responsible for their wellbeing be
that. At least we no say the pikin dem no go realy feel am say their parent dem no dey. Na
some of the benefits wey we dey get from this our way of life be that.
As the thing dey benefit us na so he come
with wahala for example the thing wey I talk about say if person relative no dey for life
and he come get pikin, na the family go take care of am. But some time the thing fit be
like say na cause for the family, especially if themselves dey manage to survive. And if
come be say na you be money person for the whole family, your own don better be that
because every person wey get money problem for your family, na you dem go come tell. And
you no fit run away from the thing because for our culture you no get choice, as he be for
our Obodo, we no dey call am Help, na your obligation as Oyinbo people dey use the word he
be. If your pikin dem dey go private school and no be say Bag Money dey plenty for your
backyard, and the relative pikin dem na school age, na him be say either make you
downgrade your pikin to Jakande school or add the boy name to your pikin private school.
If you no do am for our Obodo, you go give your self name. Besides, I no think say he dey
proper. How you go feel if to say the God reverse the situation and your relatives come do
the thing to your pikin. I know say plenty of us no go like am o. Na him be say the thing
good for the boy if to say you fit afford am, but if you no come get plenty money, I no
think say your other Half go like the thing o. Na him be say tension go start for that
house as the peace wey una get before go dey dissapear small small. and fit no return.
This no be true for all situations and families but he dey happen more than we think.
Another thing be say sometimes some people
wey no get conscience, go start dey use the boy like say na Houseboy. Especially if him
relative na the husband. Our women dem too dey take advantage for the thing to the
fullest. Sometimes the bad ones among dem, go use the bobo so tay, the boy go wish say
make him follow him parents for heaven. If to say the woman na her be the boy relative, I
no think say he go dey all that bad for the boy. But just like anything for this our
universe, no mean say na so he go be, because if you see some family as dem dey treat
themselves you go think say dem be enemy for life.
As the thing be, I no think say una go fit
find something for this live wey dey kampe all the way. Just like our Extended Family no
dey perfect, but I no think say we go fit survive without am. My brother wey dey America
talk say plenty of these Ajerekes or Akata if you see as dem dey treat their relatives,
sometimes brothers to sisters. Na that time you go know say we Africans dey lucky say we
get that kind customs for our obodo. The only thing wey I go talk be say, he good if all
of us no too abuse the situation. If you know say your relatives no get money help them if
you can afford am. But if you know say the people no to get money, no go add your wahala
to their own again.
My final thought be say Extended Family
dey enrich our lives but with some wahala attach to am. Na here I go stop my people, make
una try to be una brothers keeper as long as the thing no dey too much for una to carry.

Who Dey Responsible For This Thing Now?
How una dey my people, I
hope say una dey manage? Today now about our Government Officials, how be say when
something no dey work and you go meet our Government Officials and tell dem say make dem
come fix am or say how the thing tay broke, dem go tell you say no be dem dey in charge
for the thing or make dem tell you say na another ministry or department cause am. This na
the thing wey my brothers dem for Obodo Oyinbo dey call "passing the buck" be
that. This thing wey I dey talk dey happen for inside ministry too. You go your Payroll
office for work and go ask dem say why dem comot some money from your salary, dem fit tell
you say dem no sabi how the thing happen, or make dem tell you say na Human Resouces dem
tell dem say make dem comot the thing. And you go Human Resources go ask why the thing
happen dem go tell you say dem no sabi anything.
The thing wey bring this my talk na about
the thing wey happen for Abuja Airport last week when Uncle Sege dey come back from Iran.
I hear say as him plane want land like this na him the whole place turn darkness as power
no dey for the whole airport. When dem come ask NEPA how the thing come happen, our NEPA
officials come talk say no be their fault. Dem talk am say na Airport Authority cause am
no be dem. When dem ask NAA say how the thing happen? Those people come turn around say no
be their fault na NEPA cause am. Na him be say as dem no want take responsibility for the
thing, the thing go happen again. Na just like person wey dey drink too much, the only wey
the person go sober or change be say, he go first agree to himself say him get problem. Na
him then people go fit help am. As these two government agencies no sabi anything, how una
think say dem go fit prevent if happen again? My people una sabi say as I dey talk to una
now, we no sabi which of these yeye Agencies cause the thing and who dey in charge. Na him
be say for our Obodo, no person life save if dem fit do that kind thing to our President.
Wetin una think say go happen if na ordinary people like us want land for the place?
The thing wey I no understand be say, how
this kind thing go dey happen to that kind Airport when no be say na Aerodrome be the
place? Why be say for Nigeria we go call Oyinbo make him come build this thing kind thing
for our Country, and we no go fit maintain am self? As wise man dey talk, you cut your
coat according to your Size, but no be so for our beloved country. Na him be say you build
the thing wey we think say bricklayer go fit handle since plenty of our Engineers dey dey
office dey enjoy AirCondition, instead make dem follow Oyinbo go learn how the thing dey
work. Plenty of our Leaders go go Oyinbo country go copy their Buildings and dem go come
come back here say dem want be build the same thing for Nigeria because dem want leave big
Legacy behind and at the same time chop some money why the building dey go on. As dem dey
talk say the Oyinbo wey do pencil na him too do eraser, no apply here as our people go ask
make dem build the thing but for some reason the money wey dem allocate say make dem take
manage the building some people don divert the thing build private Mansion for Lekki or
send am to their Account for Geneva. And when the thing come dey pafuka after Five Years
or so, and you go ask our Government officials wetin happen to Maintenance money, dem go
tell you say na before their time na him dem build the thing and dem no sabi anything. And
you ask dem say no be recently we hear say the Government allocate some money for the
thing, dem go tell you say Ministry Of Finance no gree release the money. And you come go
Ministry of Finance why be so, dem go tell you another tory. Na so the thing be for obodo,
we no dey accept fault at all at all, we like dey say na another person do am no be us.
Na this same tory dey happen for Power
Project wey Federal Government, Lagos State Government, NEPA and one American company like
this dey build. Na since 1999 we hear say dem go build another Generating Power Place wey
go dey supply Light for Lagos. Last week when people ask say why dem never start the
thing, na so you dey hear everybody dey talk say no be dem cause the delay. You go NEPA
office dem talk say na Lagos State Government and the American Company cause am no be dem.
And if you go ask Lagos State Government, dem go tell you say na Federal Ministry Of Mines
and Power no sign the paper. Or make dem tell you say na dem no appove the money. And my
people the truth dey between all of dem and dem no am. But lie don chop their brain
finish, instead make dey take the blame if to say na dem cause am, dem go put am for
another person head or department instead make dey accept the thing and move on. But that
one dey foreign to our people, that kind thing no dey work.
My fellow Obodians, una sabi say if to say
we dey accept responsibility, our life for don better for Nigeria long time. Na him be say
our Soldier dem go fit tell us why dem chop our country money finish and where the rest of
the money dey. Se una no think say our palava go reduce small with this kind honesty? Na
here I go stop my people, that one no go happen for our GENERATION, make we stop dreaming
as miracle no too dey happen for our Obodo. Which time una hear say our Leaders bring the
money wey dem thief from our Treasury back from their Foreign Banks? That no go ever
happen, no be cause even if you catch dem wey dem dey steal the money dem go still deny
am.

Name
Power: Who Be The Powerful Among Us?
How dey go dey my
people? I hope una enjoy una weekend? Which kind people wey get power for our Country
self? Me I no talk about these new Millionaires wey we get for our Obodo now. I dey talk
about people wey be say when you hear their name you know say na power even if dem no too
get money. As I want talk this thing I know say our Oga patapata no go like the thing
because him family dey among dem. Make una no surprise say all these people wey get power
now no go enter the list, as we no sabi dem like Thirty years ago. The people wey I dey
talk say their name na power don dey around since when dem born our Country Nigeria. As I
talk before, all these our Leaders wey dey do Shakara now no dey among the names wey I
think say come with power o. Obasanjo, Babangida, and Abacha dem, with all the money wey
dem get now, I no think say their name mean power if no be say dem plan coup, who remember
their names before? This na the truth my people, if to say Army no dey rule for Nigeria,
these people no go even enter Nigeria Footnote if dem dey talk about our History. I know
say plenty of una go dey say he be like say I don drink Ogogoro na him no make me no sabi
the thing wey I dey talk. But true true, who among una wey sabi all these our Leaders wey
come after Gowon regime before dem seize power? Na him be say if dem no wear khaki dem go
just be like me and una. I know knowing the way Power dey intoxicate our Leaders, dem fit
send their yeye Security after me if dem read this article, but na true I dey talk and I
go continue to talk the thing till I go yonder.
The question now be say which Family name
wey dey popular for our Obodo whether dem get money now or not? I dey talk about names wey
whether you be Hausa, Ibo, Ijaw, Ibibio, Tiv, Efik, Yoruba or Fulani you know say these
names na popular name. I no mean say common names o, I dey talk names wey come with
prestige. The name Kuti dey among dem. Na the reason wey make me talk say our Oga no go
like the thing because the man dey like make he dey treat himself like me and una. And na
all of us know say that no dey possible. How many of una go hear person tell una say his
Surname na Kuti, wey una mind no go be full of questions? Another Family name wey get
prestige and money na Dantata own. I know say if we see person wey tell us say him surname
na Dantata if he look like say the man no get money we go think say na lie him dey lie
about the name. Since we associate that name with Dantata wey everybody know say na money.
Another name na Ibru, as I be illiterate so and no too sabi anything, I know say that name
na money and power. He get some names too wey dey popular too but as time no gree me, I
think say say these three names don do. Plenty of una go dey wonder why I no mention
Abiola, Igbinedo, and some Rich Family names but I as I talk before, who be these people
before dem hit am big. If to say dem no steal contract money, who think say we go hear
their names? Na him be say some of dem na true our sweat na him dem take make money. And
if una trace their families, no be say dem get money before or their family na one big
popular name. Me I no dey talk about season Billionaires/Millionaires wey we get now. Ten
years from now, I no think say we go hear their names again. Because as dem take get the
money, na so the money go dissapear, make una mark my word. But when you talk about Ibru,
Dantata, and Kuti, these na names wey we all sabi for our Obodo. Some of dem no be say dem
get money o, at the same time no be say dem be poor, dem just be names wey we all sabi for
Nigeria. How long wey una don dey hear these three names? He don tay I be, na these names
be our own Rockefeller and Kennedy as dem be for America.
Na him be say all these quick millionaires
and billionaires wey we get for our Obodo now, make dem go sit down for one place. These
their new money no go last, na so he dey be if you no work for the thing. As for me o, I
no consider person wey be say na true fraud and gbajues na him take become Money man/woman
rich. I fit chop their money but me I no dey respect dem o.
Na here I go stop my people, make una
remember say good name dey better pass Gold and Silver wey don soil o.

Ivory Coast: Wetin dey Happen to Our People?
How una dey my people, I
hope say una dey manage? Una remember say last year I talk about some Cameroonians wey dey
kill our people for Borders. And he be like say the wahala still dey around. Now we come
hear again say na our yeye Fellow Africans dey kill our people for Ivory Coast. Late last
year when palava dey between the former Head of State for Ivory Coast and the person wey
beat am for Election. Na plenty of our people na him dem kill for the thing, I no hear
anything from our President and the yeye people wey dey for National Asseimbly. And I dey
among people wey think say the thing go soon stop but that no happen. No be this weekend I
hear again say during that yeye coup wey no succeed, the people start dey blame Foreigners
wey dey live for Ivory Coast. Una know say plenty foreigners wey dey there including
Nigerians na him dem attack. I even hear say dem kill some Nigerians wey dey live for the
place.
While all these atrocities dey happen
against Nigerians and other Africans, our yeye President dey go Iran dey talk about trade
and Oil when those Lunatics wey dey Ivory Coast dey kill our people. I wonder which kind
President wey our Uncle Sege be self? How person roof go dey burn, and him go dey travel
around like say him be Globetrotter for America? I never hear say people go dey attack
Americans, since na the people wey our country dey copy be that, their President go dey
travel abroad. We no even hear one single word about the thing from our President or him
Executives like say the people wey those yeye French Speaking Thugs dey kill no be person
born dem. And as for our so called National Assembly, since the thing no concern money wey
dem go fit chop, I no hear a word from dem too. This no speak well of our Leaders at all
including our Governors too. Una want tell me say those people wey dem dey kill for
Abidjan no be from una States some of dem come from?
My people I no know whether this na only
me o, the thing wey I notice be say when fellow Africans dey kill our people, I no too dey
hear make our Leaders talk, but if to say na Westerners do am, you go dey hear wey all
these Potbelly Leaders wey we get go dey talk say dem no go gree. You go even hear wey dem
go dey Sakara say dem go recall their Ambassadors as if to say that one go change
anything. The question be say why we no fit react that way when our so-called Fellow
Africans dey kill our people? As for me o, I no care whether na Africans or na Westerners,
anytime wey our people dey under attack by some Rogue Nations, our country should react
forcefully. No be once or twice wey these yeye people dey kill our brothers for Ivory
Coast and Cameroon, and our Leaders no fit condemn am at all.
As the thing be, if we no fit be fellow
West Africans in peace, make everybody bear him Papa name. This thing no be by force. But
wetin I expect from our Leaders, no be only money dem sabi?
Na beg I dey beg una my people, I hope say
when Year 2003 come and dem bring that BIG BAG OF RICE come your house say make you vote
for dem, make you ask dem say where dem dey when dem dey kill our fellow Brethrens for
those God Forsaken places? Because if you no ask dem that question, how you go know say
dem no go do the same thing to you, your pikin and family when you travel abroad the same
thing come happen? I beg make una think well well before una open that BIG BRIBE OF RICE
wey dem want tey buy your VOTES.
Na here I go stop my people, make una dey
do jeje o

Minister Sarumi Auto Crash: Na Only God Go Judge
My people before I start
make we dey silent small for 10 seconds and pray for all accident Victims wey die; May
their Souls rest in Peace, Amen. Na all of us hear about two young couple wey die when
their car and our Minister for Cooperation and Integration car jam for Lekki-Epe
expressway. The victims na Victor and Naomi Umoren wey I hear say dey come back from their
Honeymoon when their car and the minister own come collide for the place. Some people wey
dem say dey around the area when the accident happen talk say when the thing happen, the
Minister and him people no help the victims especially the woman wey still dey alive when
dem comot am from the car. The eyes witness talk say the woman dey cry for help as she dey
in pain but dem say the Minister and him people just comot their injure people and leave
the woman for the place. The thing wey bad about the thing be say the young woman carry
pikin for belle. But the young woman and her unborn baby no make am as dem no get help in
time. According to our Minister and Police no be so he take happen. The minister talk say
him no even dey around when the thing happen and na only him car dey involve. The Police
say na the Couple cause am as dem dey drive too fast. According to dem, as the victims dey
drive with speed na him their tyre comot, the car come cross another lane wey dey for
motor wey dey come from opposite direction. Na him dem go hit the minister car and his
entourage.
But the question be say who we go come
believe now as all of dem dey talk tory? The two victims don die and the only people wey
fit talk for dem na their people and the Eyewitness dem.
As for the police we no sabi whether na
true dem dey talk or not since our Police Force get bad reputation already. Na the thing
wey I dey talk about reputation be that wey some people dey talk say if na that one dem go
chop. If to say our Police be better Police and get good reputation, all the thing wey
some people dey talk say na lie dem talk about the accident no go happen. Nigerian Public
no sabi our Police for Honesty, since plenty Police go look you for face and tell you
tory, this kind thing don make plenty people no dey believe dem again. He go good if our
Police go change as people no dey respect dem or their uniform because of the thing wey
plenty of dem do or dey do for our Obodo. This no go change overnight but our Police Force
get big Image problem because we no dey trust dem at all even if the thing wey comot their
mouth na true.
And as for the Eyewitness dem, wetin be
their motive self? Se na true dem dey talk or not, but if we look well well, why dem go
say dem see the thing as he happen if dem no dey there? Na the question wey all of us must
answer be that. He be like say na true dem dey talk but since we no dey there when the
thing happen, I no think say I go fit talk am with confidence.
As for the Minister own, I hope say na
true him and his people dey talk o becaue he go dey sad if to say na hide dem want hide
and come cover am up. But the thing be say why the Minister too go dey lie? I hope say no
be say na him cause the accident but if to say na so the thing happen wetin dey wrong if
him tell us as the thing happen? Accident as dem dey call na accident, when no be say the
Minister sabi the victims before, I no think say the man and him people mean am even if na
dem cause the accident.
The only thing wey I go talk be say
whether na the two dead victims cause the thing or na our Minister and his people cause am
that one no be problem as accident dey happen for our Obodo everyday. But the only
question be say why dem no help the victims as dem dey cry for help? Na everybody dey talk
say the woman still dey alive when dem comot am from the car, why dem no fit rush am go
hospital? May be the woman go dey alive today if the people wey dey around help am quick.
This na the problem wey me get about the whole affair be that. Na all of us dey pray say
when we need help make God send a good Samaritan to our aid. If we dey around when some
people need our help and we no help dem, I no think say God too go help us when we need
him help o my people.
Na only GOD, ALLAH and the people wey dey
around or involve for the thing know the real truth that day. Whoever dey tell tory, God
go judge am and I no think say he go tay before the thing happen. And whoever wey dem
bribe, make him know say that na blood money and na the thing wey go kill am be that. Na
here I go stop my people, I hope say we dey think twice before we act.

Who Go Manage Nigerian Social Insurance Trust
Fund?
I hope say una enjoy una
weekend my fellow Obodians? I apologize to una since una no hear from me yesterday. The
owner of our company don open him own Web Host Company and na when dem dey move files to
the thing wey dem dey call Web Server na him wahala come sele. Den don correct the problem
sa, but the Oga patapata no dey happy with the other company wey dey host our site before;
him think say na dem cause the palava.
Wetiin una I think about this new
intiatives wey our Government just announce? I hear say dem go increase money wey workers
dey pay "Nigerian Social Insurance Trust Fund" to 10 percent. My people no be
say I no like the idea as I see say plenty things wey our government dey do nowdays, he be
like say na America dem dem dey copy. As una know say God's own country na one of my
favourites among nations. Na all of us know say plenty thing wey dem dey do for America
dey work, but if dem try some of dem for our Obodo, na suicide he go be. One of dem na him
be this their Social Insurance Trust Fund. Even I hear say the one for America don dey get
problem small as plenty Americans wey dey old don dey retire. Na him be say plenty people
go dey ask for their money. But from the thing wey my brother tell me, him talk say plenty
old people for America, na the thing wey be their life support be that. If dem no get am,
plenty of dem go dey live for street.
As for our Obodo country, the problem dey
serious as all of us know say plenty of our Leaders dem na day time Pen Robbers. And dem
no dey steal small money, na to take all the money wey dey for Reserve na him dem sabi.
Our past Leaders don show us the way. Na plenty of us know the thing wey Dikko, Babangida,
Abacha, Diya and the rest of dem do to our Oil Money. The question wey I get be say which
kind company or people go dey in-charge this kind money wey be say if the thing dissappear
he go cause war for Nigeria? And the rogues wey we call our Leaders, no go think twice
before dem deposit am to their Foreign Accounts for Obodo Oyinbo. Some people go talk say
this kind thing no go happen to this one since na life savings for plenty workers for
Nigeria. But past history don teach people like me lesson say plenty of our people wey
sabi book na how dem go take thief our money and transfer am to Obodo Oyinbo na him be
degree wey dem get for University. Una remember the thing wey dem do to our Oil money with
their Khaki Brethren. Me I no fit trust any politicians and Soldiers with my money o,
especially for this our country. For Plenty of our people, 419 don full their head and dem
go do am without conscience.
But as all of us know say we still get few
Leaders wey Family Name dey important pass Money I go support the thing with conditions. I
know say our country na a Soverign State but since plenty Leaders wey don rule us in the
past na Big Barawos, he go good if we invite IMF and World Bank make dem they among groups
wey go manage the Funds for us. He no means say we no belief in our people but as I talk
before plenty of our Leaders no get good reputation at all at all and this no be the kind
thing wey we go dey get "sentimental" as my brother dey talk. Na our Life Saving
and if anything happen to am, he go cause more than hardship to plenty family since na the
thing wey we go rely on when we retire be that. Until our so-call Leaders show some good
leadership and transparency, me I no fit trust dem with my money because "Oga
sir" wey I don dey do since I be small pikin don tire me and I no want do am when I
retire.
Na the truth be that my people, make we no
deceive ourselves. Our Leaders no be kind person wey you fit show your bank account for
morning because when night time come, na dem go lead men of the underworld to your parlor.
Na here I go stop my people, make una think before una do am o.

No Work No Pay:
Wetin Dem Want Tell Us Now?
Na me again my people, how
una dey? Na wa for our people o, wetin dem want tell us now? I hear say plenty of our
people no go work this past Tuesday. Na my friend Johnny na him tell me o. The man bought
one Federal plot for Lagos wey our Federal Government get. Since una know say for our
country if you submit your document for Lagos na Abuja. dem go send am for Approval. The
man come talk say him no wait till dem send the thing back from Abuja, he come decide say
him go go the place go collect the "C of Own" himself as dey on Leave. Na the
thing wey make the man go Abuja be that o. He say when reach the place, he be like say
people no dey live there again, he say the thing dey empty. Plenty Ministry no open as dem
extend their Holiday for another day. Why the rest of us dey work, our people for Abuja
dey enjoy for house. I guess say that na Special Benefit for Abuja workers. The question
wey I get be say se that na another public holiday or wetin we go call am? Tuesday when
everybody dey work, plenty people for Abuja dey gbaladun with their family. I even hear
say our Legislators and Permanent Secreataries dem wey we consider Leaders for our Obodo
too no show up. Which kind country be this wey holiday no go dey all him Civil Servant go
stay home when no be say dem dey on Strike.
As the thing happen now, I no hear a drop
from our So-called Leaders wey be say everything wey dey wrong for Obodo dem go talk say
na our President cause am. Who dem go come blame now as dem dey among the people wey no go
work that day and no be say dem dey leave? My people I don talk before, these our so
called Legislators dey lazy and dem no want work. The only thing wey dem sabi na to chop
our money. How a whole National Assembly no go open when no be say crisis dey for our
Obodo. Come 2003, plenty of dem go go their village come dey ask people make dem vote for
dem again. The way our Leaders dey run this country, I no think say make sense at all. The
people wey for dey make laws and policies dey busy dey enjoy for house with the money wey
dem no work for.
As for our Labour Union dem, wetin dem
want talk now? The other time wey Government talk say dem no go pay salary, all of dem dey
on the street dey protest. Una want tell me say their Leaders dem no dey for the country
and dem no dey read Newspapers? The country wey plenty people no fit find work, the few
ones wey get am, no dey go work again. My people se na life we dey live or na wetin? How
we go beg for work, once dem hire us, we go come dey do iyanga with the thing again. I
wonder wetin our President go do for this crisis? Because this to me o, na crisis when no
be say holiday dey. How country go move forward if we dey work like this. That day wey
plenty of these people no dey work, una sabi how much money wey our country lose for the
thing? I go dey surprise if the thing no reach Billion Naira, if we count all there salary
including National Assembly dem.
I hope say Uncle Sege go teach everybody
wey stay home for dat day lesson. If to say na me be the President, I go ask my Minister
for Finance make him collect all Salary of the people wey no go work that day including
our Legislators. Once dem don collect the money, I go come take the money put am for one
bank. I go come distribute the money to people wey no fit find work and come tell dem say
make dem use am open small business. The money no be say We go dash dem, the thing go be
like small loan. Another thing wey I fit do be say, make I sack all the people wey dey
involve and come hire some of the people wey no fit find work. Na him be say these our
Civil Servants no want work. As for our Legislators dem, since I no go fit sack dem, I go
withhold their money come tell each state say if dem no call their Legislators back, I no
go release any money for dem. Me I believe say the whole country go support our President
for that kind decision, because people no go want hear their complain. Se dem want talk
say na our President dey behind why dem no go National Assembly that day?
But make wey talk true, our President no
go do anything because the man himself, I no think say him dey serious about moving our
country forward. Na this kind thing you go expect from a Serious Leader, no be the the one
wey we get for Nigeria. If our President do some of the thing wey I talk, I believe say
the whole world go support am for the thing. Na this kind thing go make our people know
say the day of lazyness don pass be that. Next time when we get Holiday again, I fit bet
una say, plenty people no go miss work especially our Civil Servants.
My people na here I go stop, I don talk my
own o, if our Leaders like make dem change and if dem no like make dem continue as usual.
As we all know say nothing last forever, one day the thing go end for dem.

Make Good Time
Roll Our Yankee Brothers Dey In Town
What it is up my fellow
Obodians? Is everything Kooleleh? Na my new Yankee slang be that o. That one na one in
town my people. As we dey enter Year 2001, I go dey give una my slangs small small. As we
reach this new year few of our people don dey go back to their adopted countries. I know
say by the time we reach middle of this month plenty of dem go don go back. Men I enjoy
this Christmas no be small my people. Make I tell una the kind enjoyment wey I enjoy. My
people as we know say plenty of our Away Guys dey come home with plenty money. I know say
no be all of dem get that kind money but the few one wey get am, no dey let man rest. I
remember the time wey I go party with my brother on Christmas night. Na one of my brother
friends wey dey live for Canada dey do am. My people if una see as food poku he be he come
be like say na one Minister dey do party. Dem get one thing wey dem dey call "Shish
Kebab" that thing sweet. I eat the thing so tay, I no fit open my mouth again. Make
una come see assorted drinks, I look everywhere I no see one Made in Nigeria beer for the
place including Ogogoro. All the drinks wey dey the place na imported and no be cheap ones
self.
I no go lie to una my people, I enjoy the
place well well. Make una come see me as I dey drink wine like say na water. I no even
sabi how tay reah home as I dey drunk. This kind thing never happen to me before. My
brother tell me say I dey behave like person wey never see those kind drinks before. Him
talk say I dey act like bush man but him just dey laugh as I dey waka like Papy Lolo for
television.
Make una come see our women with different
wigs for head dey work their magic. This na real Nigbati party but with mixed crowd. If
una see the kind shoes wey those Away guys wear, I know say plenty of dem my salary for
two years no go fit buy am. Na the kind shoes wey be say you go want watch your hands
before you touch am. As una know say those guys dey like to show off especially when dem
dey around beatiful Omoge. If una see how dem dey spray money, he come be like say na
another Universe na him I dey. That day my people, I wish say I be woman because I no see
one woman there wey no carry at least 10,000 Naira go home. If una see how those guys dey
takar, he good make person dey live for Obodo Oyinbo. The few ones wey no spend too much
money na my brother and few of his friends. No be say dem no get money for pocket, dem no
dey like dey spray. But if una see big big envelopes wey dem give the celebrant and his
wife. These envelopes no contain Naira o, na so so Pounds and Dollars dey inside am.
Na this kind party make me remember the
thing wey one Omoge wey dey live for our Street talk. She talk say for December time she
no dey talk to our Local brothers because she no want make her Away Boyfriends see her
with dem. That go spoil her money making business for am. The woman talk say the only
party wey she dey go during December and January na the ones wey our Yankee brothers dey
give. Na that time plenty high class Asewos dey make money. Come see plenty University
Students for the place, I want take style join them but the yeye girls tell me say I no be
their type, dem talk say dem sabi the people wey no comot Murtala and the ones wey no dey
live for Nigeria. Una know say these yeye girls think say I be House boy for the place
even though na my brother cloth I wear but that one no fool dem.
So my fellow obodians, na so I spend my
christmas holidays. He no good make person no get rich man friend o especially if you dey
poor. Che che, he no good make person no get money because money good for body. Na here I
go stop make una dey do jeje o.

Uncle Sege Handshake Policy na Joke
How una dey my people, I
hope una dey Miliki well well? Wetin dey do our President self? Which kind people wey him
get as advisers wey no dey advice am proper? Since he become President na him I don dey
hear say the man no dey give bonus to Youths wey dey represent our Obodo for Sports. I
hear say the man talk say him no believe say make our Government dey give the people
money. I for support our President if our Country na him personal domain but since the
country belong to all of us, I no think say this him Handshake Policy dey proper self
especially with the kind pressure wey those athletes dey face. He good make we use that as
incentive and dey take am encourage dem for the sport since our country dey benefit from
the thing too. Besides if the man believe say our Sportsmen and Women dey do am for their
country, and he no believe say the thing proper make we give dem small bonus if dem do
well, why himself dey get salary for him Post? As he be like say Uncle Sege mean business
for this him Handshake Policy, my suggestion be say make we carry that him yeye policy and
apply am to Political services especially the kind one wey our good for nothing Pen Robber
Politicians dey do. The thing wey Na everybody sabi say plenty of these our Athletes dey
use their money dey train for the thing and the thing no be small money. All those things
wey dem dey use dey train cost big money. All those people wey we dey see for Television
no dey happen just like that. Plenty of dem don suffer gan before dem reach limelight. As
plenty of dem don sacrifice a lot to reach that point of their career, he go good if our
country reward dem with some cash since we dey use dem to promote our country too.
As for the reason wey our President dey
give I no understand at all especially if the man fit give himself and all those cronies
wey dey call themselves Legislators and Ministers money, why he no want give people wey
everybody know say dem dey do something for the country. We no fit talk the same thing
about our Politicians dem including this our President. At least the people wey we say
make our Government give money na our Youths wey do well for sport no be everybody. No be
everyday our yeye Leaders dey collect money for work wey dem no dey do? No be two years
ago we vote for dem? Wetin dem do since then, no be to chop our money? The country wey dem
promise say dem go repair still dey bleed. Even self na dem cause plenty leak wey we dey
surfer for Nigeria today. Since dem dey collect salary for work wey we no fit see say dem
do for ground, I no know how the man go talk say him no go fit allocate money to our
Athletes wey be champion in their respective Games.
I hope say the people wey dey advice our
President go tell am make him abolish that him yeye Handshake Policy because the thing no
dey pay and na joke. If the man insist, then everybody wey dey serve under this government
no deserve One Kobo as our country don turn from Frypan to Fire. Plenty people no fit find
work, our youths dem don turn to Armed robbers and prostitution finish. So our their
President, wetin you and your fellow Politicians don do for us lately? No be say una dey
give una selves Bonus wey una no deserve? My people I believe say na all of us like better
thing including our youths wey dey represent our Country for Sport. These pikin dem na our
heroes unlike our Potbelly Old Cargoes wey dey call themselves our Leaders. Na here I go
stop my people ojare, make una dey take am easy o.

Wetin Be Your New Year Resolution?
Happy New Year my fellow
Obodian, how una dey? I hope say una enjoy the thing? As all of us sabi say every
time wey New Year come, na so all of us go make our own New Year Resolutions. Since the
day wey I don sabi Eba na him I don join people all over the world wey dey make promise as
the new year come, dem go talk say certain things wey dem dey do before, dem go do am
again. Una go hear people wey go talk say this new year o, dem no go dey smoke cigarrette
again. And some people go talk say dem want reduce their weight this new year. Na
everytime you hear Husbands go tell their family say dem go stop Adultery and fornication,
and dem no go dey run after another man wife again. And as for our women, plenty go
promise say this year dem go stop dey pursuit another woman husband. And some go talk say
this year, dem go find their own husband marry even if the thing go make dem visit i JuJu
man house, this year own go be different. As everybody dey make him own resolution, plenty
of our Politicians go make their own too. Some go talk say last year na 50 Million Naira
na him dey thief, this year own dey want triple am. Plenty of dem go promise say dem go do
better thing for their Country which mean say dem go improve their family lives, and na
the meaning of their own country be that.
But as we reach February, March &
April, all these people wey don promise say dem go bury their old ways, go come dey wear
the cloth again. The man wey don promise say him go stick with him wife, as soon as say
January reach middle like this, the thing don dey eat am for belle. Few go fight this
Womanizer Apetite but as for plenty of dem, he no go reach January 2nd wey another woman
go don dey enter their face. Before you know it, dem go talk say just this one woman, from
there dem go don turn to their old self again. Na the say for the women wey make the same
resolution about men. Some of these women na true say dem want person wey dem go dey call
their own but the problem be say the people wey fit marry dem no get money (na money dey
rule our society) and since these women don taste better thing, Eba everyday no dey good
for their body again. The thing go spoil their Skin wey dem don bleach finish. Small time,
that their old Cargo Man friend go call dem say make dem come follow am go out. Na their
the temptation go start, dem go compare Johnny the strugling boyfriend and Chief Aniplenty
wey fit be their papa but he get plenty dough for hand. And dem know say if dem tell the
man say dem no want do again, the man go take him Furnished two bedroom Flat from dem plus
the car wey he buy dem. Na from there their old self go appear just like that. Na the end
of the resolution be that. And for the smokers own, that cigarette crave no go let dem
last because the next day as dem dey go work, na soso people wey dey smoke dem go dey meet
for road. Small time the cigarette wey dem put for pocket last night go appear for their
hand. The man go just put fire on am, till next year the man no dey think about the
resolution again. Na so some people go do till the day wey our Godl go call dem say their
time don reach that if Cancer no kill dem first.
As for our Leaders and Politicians own,
their resolution dey come true because no be say dem talk say dem no go thief our money
again. Their own be say make dem see plenty money chop. And we all sabi say as long na dem
dey for that position, the money go continue dey enter their private accounts. Some of dem
go even realize pass him resolution as plenty money dey enter our Reserves. Na the thing
wey I no understand about this our Government cry about Debt reduction. If we get plenty
money for bank, why we no fit pay our debt instead wey we go dey ask foreign governments
make dem cancel am or postpone am. Na there I come realize say if our government no ask
for debt relief, the Leaders dem no go fit fulfill their own personal New Year Resolution
which be say make dem triple the money wey dey their Swiss accounts for Obodo Oyinbo.
My people na so life be o, una know see
say our Leaders dem dey enjoy. Everything wey dem put their mind into dem dey get am. If
dem want marry your daughter, he go happen even if you no support the thing because if you
no gree dem, your other relatives go support dem as dem don send dem bags of rice and
plenty Ogogoro behind your back. So the question now be say if dem get that kind luck how
come dem no fit do the same thing for our Country wey be say if dem put their mind say dem
go improve poor people lives for Nigeria, dem go fit do am but the problem be say that no
be part of their New Year Resolutions.
My people na here I go stop o, na every
year we dey plan new year resolution but plenty of us no dey follow am at all at all even
person wey talk say this year him no go surfer. Everytime the fool go do something stupid,
things wey go make am surfer again. Na the thing wey wise man dey call life be that.
"Some people have it some people do not". Our Polticians/Leaders get am and me
and una no fit get am no matter how hard we try because we no get the means and
determinations wey our so called Pen Robbers get.

National ID Project Don Become Cash Cow
How dey go dey my fellow
Obodians? We hope say one day he go better. As one of my brothers dey talk, when you ask
am how he dey, he go say man no die and he no rottine now. But as for our country and our
so-called Leaders, the thing don pass that, I no know the thing wey I go call dem. My
people se una hear about the Panel wey dem setup for National ID probe? Before I begin
self, wetin be all these panels self wey be say anytime wey our Government want probe
people or project dem go create panel? No be say I get problem with am but the thing be
say the thing don dey lose him value as our Leaders don yeye am. Una remember the Oputa
Panel own wey some Oga Soldier dey cry for the place. Another yeye thing about am be say
plenty people wey our Government dey select for the thing na the same old cargoes wey
destroy our country. All of dem na part of the problem, plenty of the people wey dem dey
probe na their friends and partners. The wey dem dey do am now be say, you wash my hand
and I wash your hand. Who dem think say dem dey fool my people? If dem dey serious about
all these probes wey we dey see left and right, na young people wey no get anything for
corner corner dem go put for the Panel. No be these backhand Associates wey dem put go
clean the mess up.
As I dey talk before, no be last week I
hear from the owner of the company wey dem give National Id Project to before talk say no
be him chop the money wey our government talk say dem pay his company. According to my
source, him talk say the government talk say dem award billions of Naira to the man and
his companies make dem develop and implement the Scheme about two or three years ago. Dem
talk say dem don give more than 75% of the contract money to the Firm. Our government talk
say the man collect the money but he no do anything. But according to the thing wey I
hear, the man talk say him company don finish the project but the problem be say the
remaining work him no fit finish am as plenty of our Ministers dem wey dey for Government
want their own cut for the thing before dem go let am finish the rest. He this kind thing
dey frustrate the project as the Kalokalo wey dey for our Country no let am rest. Him talk
say everywhere wey him go, the "Power that Be" for our Obodo want their own
share of the pie. Him talk say plenty of these people na big Government Officials.
My people se una see again, I know say
this thing no surprise una. But the thing wey I no understand be say na the same thing
everytime, for our Obodo people no dey take responsibility for anything. And the way we
dey run things for Nigeria, this bad Culture go dey around for a long time, I no care
wetin our Uncle Sege talk. Because if una look am well, na everytime wey we hear say
people chop government money, the Onyechi dem go transfer am to their foreign accounts.
This money wey dem for leave for Nigeria make dem take am open business and hire those our
youths dem wey no fit find work, dem go send am go help another country. Which time wey
una hear say dem put these rogues for Jail or kill dem for the thing? I know say the only
way we go fit stop dem dey thief money be say if we make people pay for am. If you steal
money and no fit give am back, you go pay with your life just like Robbers wey dem catch.
Another thing be say make our government seize everything wey dem get including properties
wey dem get before dem thief money. After that we go come send dem to Prison or kill dem
if to say the thing poku. This probe thing don tire me as nothing dey happen to the
offenders. Make our Leaders thank their Mama say people like me no get power for Nigeria,
if I get plenty power, na all these overnight Millionaires wey we get for our Obodo go don
dey inside Kirikiri or for yonder. As long as our people think say if dem catch dem
nothing go happen to dem especially our so-called Leaders, people go continue to thief
money.
Se una hear say our Government want issue
another contract for this National Id Project again? After dem don waste money for the old
one and we no fit say na here the money dey. I bet una say the same thing wey happen to
the first contract go happen to this one again. How una go think say the next company go
complete the project when dem no be mumu. He be like say na the same companies wey dey
inside the "Power That Be Caucaus" go bid for am. Since dem no say the people
before dem no do anything. People no dey pay our government because everything wey happen
dem go blame am on other people. Na this kind thing wey oyinbo people dey call "non
accountability" and him dey for our Obodo and our government be part of it. Plenty
people wey dem dey give contract na their friends and families. CHOP MAKE I CHOP NA HIM BE
OUR MOTTO FOR NIGERIA, and I no think say the thing go stop for this New year. But I go
dey pray say this New Year go dey different. But since I get small sense for body, I no go
hold my breath for the thing.
Na here I go stop my people, he go good if
all of us change our bad manners. If our country go better, na all of us go put our small
kobo to am, and I hope say this New Year na the end of all these infighting for NIGERIA be
that.
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL OF UNA, MANY YEARS
TO COME!

Budget Allocation
Want Cause Wahala For Our Obodo
How una dey my people, I
hope say una enjoy the Holidays? As New Year dey around the corner na him I say make I
talk about the fight wey various Regions want start with our Federal Government.
Everywhere you go you go dey hear say our President because he no too like dem na him make
am allocate small money to their regions. Whether na Kano you go o, or na Port Harcourt,
na the same cry you go dey hear. My people for Delta talk say since na from their area we
dey get Oil, why be say the money wey Government allocate to dem dey small compare with
other area wey no dey contribute anything to our Reserve. Some talk say because our
President na Yoruba man, plenty of the money na our South West people he give am to. And
as for my people for North, dem talk say the Federal Government no allocate plenty money
to their area as na dem need am pass. My South West people talk say since most people wey
dey live for our Obodo na their area dem dey, as people all over Nigeria dey come there
come live, dem no understand why Federal Government allocate small money. Dem talk say
plenty of the infrastructures wey dey for Nigeria na their area, because of that all the
structures don dey scatter scatter as plenty people dey use am. Dem talk say our
Government must give dem plenty money. My people for South East talk say since 1960s na
him our Federal Government dey discriminate against dem, dem talk say plenty
infrastructures wey dey for other areas no dey for their region. Dem talk say few Bridges
and and Federal Roads wey dey their area don become Death Traps as Federal Government no
give dem money to repair am. Dem talk say if you look overall money wey dem allocate dem,
dey small compare to other regions.
My people the question be say as everybody
dey talk say our Government dey Marginalize dem, which one wey our Government no
discriminate against. Una see say we no see one region wey talk say our Government give
dem their own share. Me I like this kind thing as all of dem dey fight for their region.
But the only thing be say plenty of these regions, the money wey dem allocate dem na the
"Power tha be" and the Politicians dey chop am, no be the masses. As he dey so,
plenty Politicians don become Billionaires as dem gradutate from Millionaire Circle. All
these wealth na from the money wey dem thief from our National Treasury. He for good if
all dem think about the masses and their regions first before dem take the money buy House
and Expensive Cars for their yeye Girlfriends wey dey live for Oyinbo Countries.
I hear say some regions dey talk say since
plenty of their people vote for our President, dem no sabi why Federal government no fit
allocate plenty money to dem. My question be say which kind yeye talk be that? Wetin
different between that yeye talk and bribe wey plenty all over the world sabi our people
for? Una want tell me say because some people no vote for our President, make the man no
allocate money to their regions as dem no vote for am and his party? If we talk say the
money belong to all of us, wetin una want make those regions do since dem no vote for our
President? Na this kind thing dey spoil our country my people. He no mean say because
person or groups no vote for our President, we go come take their entitlement away. If to
say na so everybody dey do, this small peace wey we get for don Dabaru. I thank God say
the Executives no follow that kind talk or Advice. Na here I go stop, make una dey do jeje
o my people.
December.
25-27. 2000
How una dey my people? I hope una dey enjoy una holidays. As una
know say for Nigeria, Wednesday too na Holiday since na the day wey our Muslim Brothers
dey celebrate Eid-el-Fitri. Me too go join dem as una know say na all religions me
dey celebrate. I go dey talk to una tomorrow as my God and Allah don talk am. I beg make
una take am easy with the free Beer wey una see for una table.

Our Leaders No Fit
Comot Barawo For Body
Happy Ramadan, Merry
Christmas, and Happy New Year my People? The days don almost here o, I know say for some
of us the thing be like another day. But as for our Leaders and Politicians, next year go
better for dem gan as dem just allocate Billion Naira to themselves. One of my Sources
talk say if I see how happy our Legislators be for Abuja as dem dey pass another Budget
for themselves and the Executive. He say plenty of dem dey talk say na brand new cars dem
go buy this coming year with their own share. I even hear say dem talk say the money wey
President Obasanjo put for Budget for National Assembly dey too small, and dem come add
plenty Jara to am. My people, wetin dey wrong with this picture? As I understand am for
normal society, if you work hard you go get your salary without any wahala and if you no
work, you no dey get any money not even One Kobo. But for our Leaders, this their national
service self na road to Billion Naira Chop Money Allocation. Wetin these people go tell us
say achieve now? Since last year wey we send dem to Abuja, we no fit see the benefit for
the whole country except their family. Instead na more misery and deaths na him we dey
get. Petrol no dey and because of this people no fit go work, as for water unless you want
go Bar Beach go get water because the one for Tap don dry. Armed Robbers don become Kings
and Queens for our Obodo. Instead make Police dey fight Men of the UnderWorld, na Ethnic
Groups like Awesu, Bakkassi, OPC, and Arewa na him dem dey fight. Plenty time, the guns
wey the robbers dey use na our Police dey supply dem. The few lower class wey we get for
Nigeria don disappear, na only poor people dey for our Obodo now. Poverty don kill plenty
children as the parents no get money to feed dem. Our youths don turn to Cult and
Prositution for University. You go Bustop, you no fit sabi who be PickPocket and who be
Passengers as everybody look like Barawos. And as for NEPA, everything still the same, I
no think say those people go ever change, no be curse.
As narrate all these things for ground my
people, all these problem dey there before our Politicians carry their Agbada go Abuja.
During their campaign dem promise us heaven and earth. Instead make the country better, na
our hardship and suffering increase while our Leaders bank accounts triple. I no fit find
one thing wey I go say dem do for us since this their yeye democracy enter our Obodo. But
na everybody sabi the thing wey our Politicians and Leaders get from the thing as dem dey
distribute Billion naira among themselves and their cronies. The first one na Furniture
allowance wey each senator pocket N5 million instead of 3.5 million naira wey dem
announce. If these people dey serious and get heart, se na furniture money dem go dey
share among themselves when their own people dey surfer and dem no fit afford one square
meal a day. Then transportation allowance, wey all of dem dey use our money buy expensive
car when people no fit afford Phensic for Chemist place. I know say plenty thing dey when
dem do for secret wey we no sabi but one day go be one day wey the landlord go come home
catch thief wey dey steal him chicken.
So my people, why we dey pay this people
self I no sabi? I don talk am before he no mean say we dey under Civilian regime things go
change. How many of these people wey dey for Abuja no be part of the previous regimes.
Whether dem be General then and come change to Chief now na this greed you go find for
their blood. I no fit sabi one person wey dey for National Assembly wey no thief money
before. The executive na the same thing. The money wey our President thief before na him
he take build him Farm Business for Ota. Una remember OFN, all the machines wey dem buy
for the thing, I no need to tell una where the thing dey. Se una see all the people wey
call themselves Senators and Congress, plenty of them na former Ministers and Governors.
The same thing wey dem do in the past na him dem start again. The thing dey for their
blood and I believe say their mama born dem with am. Barawo na their Middle name. I dey
pray say one of these days the thing wey happen for Ghana go happen to plenty of dem as
dem no care about us the commoners wey no fit find food feed our family. Plenty innocent
pikin don go yonder because their Parents no fit afford medicine money to cater for dem.
My people na here I go stop o, I hope everybody dey pray say make God send us another
Messiah because our so-called Leaders na Wolfs in the Sheep Cloths.

How Come Our Govt Dey Make Things Hard For Us?
How dey go dey go my fellow
Obodians, I hope say una don ready for Christmas and New year o? I hear say Nigeria Custom
don ask all the Oga from Salary Grades 10 and up make dem come Abuja come take Exam before
dem go promote dem. As I hear am from my source, plenty of these ogas no dey happy as the
few ones wey go Abuja na Men of the underworld ambush dem for Road. Na so dem comot their
money and belongings, some people even get accident for road. But make we tell the truth,
I no say think say na because of the robbers na him make the Custom Officers no want go
Abuja. Plenty of dem na through their Uncles, Brother concubines, Sisters' boyfriends and
Men and women friends dem take get the work, no be say dem sabi book or dem go University.
Dem think say if dem go take the test dem go fail am as their brain don pafuka, the few
brain wey dey left na for Chop Money (Egunje) wey dem dey collect for Ports. Na this make
me remember one thing wey don dey bother for a long time, na about the way our Leaders dem
dey run Government, he don tay wey I say I go talk about am
How many of una go Ministry wey dem tell
una say una file, dem don send am to Abuja and make una come back? Or una go Ajegunle go
collect application wey una submit for work and dem tell una say dem never hear from their
Headquarters for Ikeja.? Plenty time person buy land and come go Ministry go register the
thing. Nine months after, you go back make you go collect the C of Own, dem tell you say
the thing still dey their office for Kano? I remember my sisters wey be teacher for 35
years and she retire from the thing about two years ago. Last year when she go their Enugu
office make she go collect her Pension, dem tell am say since na new Government dey for
power, make she submit another papers for the thing. My fellow Obodians, where una hear
wey Government go dey cause wahala for her people? Why be say instead make our Government
make life easy for us na the opposite we dey face everyday. The question wey I get for
these yeye people wey dey call themselves Civil Servants and Kolo Ministers be say, which
kind Crazy people make the yeye decision wey person go submit paper for Lokoja and una go
dey send am to una Lagos Office? Se dem want tell me dem no fit hire person wey sabi the
thing for Lokoja wey be say na for only Lagos dem go fit do am? Why be say for our Obodo,
na to make life hard for person na him we sabi? Why our Government no fit create the same
office wey dem get for Abuja or Lagos for all the states wey be say if you need some
information the regional office go fit do am instead wey dem go dey send am to Abuja or
Lagos? Plenty time self, the thing wey for take one month go take years. He go good if dem
go fit approve the thing for regional offices instead of their Headquarters where
the people no want work, na Egunje dem go dey run after. As for the State and Local
Government, he go good make dem open offices near people instead wey be say anytime wey we
want something from our Government, na so we go pack our load and the few life savings wey
we get and come dey go their office 250 Kilometres away, and plenty time the person wey go
sign am no go dey the place. Na this kind thing dey cause make people dey offer or take
bribe be that, as the wahala too much. I know say I no too sabi book but I get some sense,
but he be like say these our people wey sabi book no dey use their gumption at all, plenty
of the wahala wey we get, na their too know dey cause am. He go good if our Leaders make
the Government work for us instead wey be say na us go dey work for dem. This dabaru wey
we get for our Obodo don dey too much and he go good if we re-organize our Ministry. If we
submit paper for Lagos, he go good make dem approve am there and send the copy to Abuja
for record keeping no be say na both the original and copy dem go send Abuja for approval
and the thing no go come back till another person enter government. Another thing wey I no
like be say make person submit paper for Ministry and dem go come tell you say the person
wey go sign am don go leave, una want tell me say if the person die, no be somebody go
sign am? Why we go dey wait for person make dem come back from their Leave, because we go
receive service from our Government? As if to say no be our money we go pay. Una want tell
me say na only one person sabi the thing? He go good if we do away with plenty of these
useless policies wey no dey work. Na here I go stop my people, make una dey do jeje o.

Ha ba Pastor! Na wetin be this?
How una dey my people, I hope say una dey kampe? As
all of una know say my brother dey for town and plus say na Holiday season na him we dey I
no too dey get time write my tory but I promise say at least una go dey hear from me three
to four times a week during this Yuletide. Once the holiday don pass, my Oga don talk say
him no go allow this kind nonsense again. Since he don talk so, na everyday I go dey write
my tory since na through my brother I tay get this I no want make he talk say I be
typical Nigerian and another thing be say I no want make dem sack me.
Make una read this tory since na Holiday
time we dey and plenty Pastor go dey in Town from Oyinbo Country as Holiday dey. Make una
enjoy am, I go dey talk to una tomorrow.
This thing wey I want nak
story about no dey easy for me. Plenty of my brothers and sisters na members. But as
I don talk am say nothing wey I no go do to make our Obodo country and her people better.
This na about Pastor dem wey be the leaders for church. As thing dey get worse
for our obodo country na so people wey we put for position of power come become selfish,
unkind and dubious. Plenty of dem no get moral again. For Nigerians both the one wey
dey home and Oyinbo Country, the thing many our pastors dey do, I no thing say God go dey
happy about am at all at all. Nowdays, you go hear plenty Pastor wey dey give people wey
dem say make dem pray for belle. Many of dem get wife for home but dat one no do dem. Na
all these young women na him dem go dey prey on.The thing wey I no sabi be say plenty of
these young women get husband for house. I still remember for Bible wey I read for school
wey dem talk am say make person no commit fornication and make we no look our neighbour
wife. And na this same people wey God put in charge na dem be governor for the thing. I no
fit see the thing wey dey under this earth wey dem never try. Some go go Babalawo place
for power. If you comot some pastor cloth, na so so Onde (charms) na him you go see.
Ha ba na wa oo. As for the one wey dey oyinbo country, plenty of dem no want work. Una
know say Oversea country no dey easy for our people as my brothers wey dey oyinbo country
tell me. Plenty of our brothers wey be pastor na dem wife dey work. Some of the women na
three jobs dem get. Na so so excuses and tory you go hear from our brothers wey dem
go say na God work na him dem come do here. And for Obodo oyinbo, no free lunch, if you no
pay your landlord rent, him go throway your load and put am for outside. My mama's pikin
no dey for oyinbo country. Plenty of those pastors na young men, because God give some of
dem spiritual power, small time you go hear say dem don open their own church. As the
thing don become business for our Obodo country na so he be for Oversea. Even self, he don
reach stage wey be say church plenty past members. Pastor con poku for oyinbo land. Na
this same pastor you go hear say him give him church member wife belle. Me and everybody
know say the Pastors wey dey do this kind thing na minority and dem no plenty pass the
good Pastors. But the thing wey I go say be say he go good if our Leaders for Church
Denominations go make law wey be say as we know say country dey hard, make dem allow
Pastors dey work. And as for the one wey dey oyinbo man country, he go good if all dem get
work instead wey dem go put all the load for their wife and congregation head. The bad one
wey dey give church bad name, make dem comot dem. Because time go dey wey people wey dem
take him wife or give him wife or daughter belle go take dem go court and dat one no good
for our religion o. I beg make una stop this bad thing wey una dey do before God wrath
come fall for una head. Na here me go stop, make una take this world easy o.

Politicians Watch Your Mouth, No
Cause Katakata For us
How una
dey my fellow Obodians? Make una no worry, He go better one day. Plenty time I dey hear
our Leaders for North dey talk about Injustice wey dey go on for our Obodo. And as we sabi
now say na democracy system na him we dey, person fit talk anything him want, the
government no go fit send Assassin after am. But at the same time, he go good if we dey
watch the thing wey dey comot our mouth especially if we be Leader for our society.
For the past weeks now na him our
Northern Leaders dey talk say since dem don free OPC Leader Fasheun wey be Yoruba man, he
dey fair make dem also release all the Northerners wey our Government put for Prison for
murder in Lagos. Since our Government no answer dem, dem don begin dey talk say he be like
say we get two different laws for our Obodo, one for Yoruba people and the other one for
the rest of us. Since I no too sabi our Law I no fit talk say na so the thing be, but the
talk say say palava fit happen if our government continue to ignore dem dey dangerous. If
we look at this thing well, he don tay wey our Politicians for North dey talk say the way
Uncle Sege dey rule the country no dey good for dem because the kind benefit wey dem dey
get before no dey again. As I talk before, na all of us know say we get freedom now, we
fit talk anything wey we want. But the only problem wey I get be say, if we start dey
cross the boundary because we no gree with the government. My people, the kind talk wey
these leaders dey talk now don dey tire me and the thing dey dangerous. Na Yoruba people
dey talk am say word na like egg, once you break am, you no fit put am back
These propaganda wey our Leaders start don cross the Line wey I go talk say our Democracy
support. These words of mouth go cause war if these yeye leaders no watch their mouth and
put am for bucket. He be like say as dem for top now, dem want try anything to get their
glory back. Before now, na marginalize talk we dey hear from their mouth.
My
fellow obodians , una sabi say I hear the thing so tay, I come begin dey think say dem don
change our Country name to am, since na the new word we dey hear from our Politicians be
that. When the thing no come walk, our Leaders for North come shift gear, courtesy of OPC
wey kill plenty Hausa/Fulanis for Lagos. But I no go blame dem o, because I no remember
say our Government put person for Kirikiri for the destruction. I know say dem arrest
plenty people, but the thing wey I hear be say , our government don release plenty of dem.
The question I have for my Yoruba people be say wetin happen to people wey cause this
katakata? As I understand our law, if you kill person or you destroy person house, you
must pay for am. Another question na to our Police, wetin happen to all the people wey
cause this wahala? Where una put dem? He go good if our Government go treat everybody the
same. But he no means say our Government go put person wey no dey involve for the thing
just because say na him be the leader of the Group. If dem get proof say the man ask him
Boys make dem destroy houses and kill all the Non-Yorubas for the area, then our
government must charge am for the crime. But the talk say since dem don release OPC leader
our Government must release Northerners wey dey inside Alagbon na nonsense. I hope say our Northern Leaders go find another
music play because this one own no be the kind music wey people want dance to. I hope say
somebody go caution dem make dey Me Chonu as my Ibo brothers dey say am. Which
kind excuse our Northern Politicians go give if some of us wey be poor masses come take
their word serious and begin dey fight Non Northerners? I beg if we want dey continue dey
call this country Nigeria, we must mind our Mouth before the thing cause trouble or put
the country for war wey we no sabi wetin the end go be. Na here I go stop my people, make
una think before una open una mouth my fellow obodians.

The War
Wey Dey Within, Brothers against Brothers (From our Archives)
I beg I dey sorry for my absence yesterday, na something happen for my
Village. Wetin dey go on for our obodo, na so so bad behavior na him poku for our country
now. Every where wey you go na brothers dey fight brothers, and sisters dey quarrel with
their sisters. Na so I go my village yesterday because my family don become Bosnia, my
Village people want make coffin makers and ground digger rich. This one na because of
something wey be say years ago, you no go even hear make people cough about am. Na him I
come search my belle and I come ask myself say wetin dey go on for Nigeria. Every place
wey you go people dey quarrel. Army dey fight Police, Christian dey fight moslem, Ife
people dey fight Modakeke, the people wey we know before as calabar dey fight demselves.
Abia and Enugu no gree, Iwo people don kill themselves over who go be the next king. Kogi
people don draw line for ground over politics, Middle belt and Hausa no dey see eyes to
eyes again. And the relationship between Southerners and Northernes don go sour. My
people, wetin dey wrong with us wey be say, this democracy wey for promote understanding
and openness no dey work for us. Instead na war, strike and religion fanaticism na him we
dey breathe for our Obodo. No be around this time last year na him Ikare, Ijaw and
Itsekiri dem want kill their own race over oil. Na so so dead body na him we see for
Television. For two weeks now people wey be civil servant dey strike; and me I no know the
thing wey dem dey fight for, because the money wey dem dey ask for , na Mama Oloja and
Molue drivers go take am from them. Even self, una know how I feel about them say dem no
deserve am. I still dey wonder who their leaders be wey be say dem no feel call dem people
to order. Everywhere you go, na so so fight destruction you go see for road. My question
be say if una destroy everything, who go pay for am. No be us poor people again go surfer
am. All this money wey una dey ask, where governments go get am especially for my state
where gari wey dey easy to produce, the government no fit do am. Small time una go hear
say dem dey lay people off.
As I dey talk before, now for Ikare and
Akoko I hear say plenty people don die. Plenty houses don burn for two communities wey dey
fight over throne. If you trace dem root, dem be family o. The thing wey I no sabi be say
if you look am, na poor people dey do all this quarrel o. The two royal family wey dey
fight for this throne I go surprise if their pikin no dey Oyinbo country. Even if dem dey
our obodo, you no go see them carry cutlass dey fight. Na we poor masses go kill ourselves
for them. Na wa for us my people. As dem dey talk am for my village say "Monkey dey
walk Baboon dey chop". The question wey I go ask my people be say, why we no dey
learn. Small time now this problem go end, and the Rich man go become king. If he come
happen say some of the people wey dey fight for the king come get pikin wey want married
the king daughter, na dat time my people go know the thing wey dem dey call Caste System
for Ghandhi country. If to say the king dey speak your language now, wait when this kind
thing come happen between una. Na dat time you go hear who born you. Na so so grammar you
go dey hear from your new king. The person wey dey say una be the same before, go turn
around and tell you say you no no your gang. If Even self; why be say now, we no dey see
person wey poor become king. Una want tell me say every royal family for our Obodo now get
money? I no believe am, the only answer wey I get be say, person wey no get money for
royal family, no dey become king even if Oracle choose am.
This plenty fight for our country dey give
us bad names. I no go surprise if our country come break up because as I talk before, this
democracy don turn cracy for Nigeria. People no dey sabi
tolerance again, if quarrel happen between two people instead make dem settle am jeje, na
cutlass go end am. Which kind water wey we dey drink wey be say the time wey we for dey
enjoy the fruit of our labor, na war we want start. I beg my fellow countrymen and women,
make una look before una leap to destruction o.

Ridicule wey our Fellow Nigerians Dey Face for Sky
How dey go dey my fellow
Nigerians? Small small life go better. Since Christmas don dey come, few people wey get
money go market go buy cloth for their family. And the rest of us wey dey pray say make
God send Manna to us, go go Bosconer go buy "pass me down" Cloth and Shoes for
our family. And the few people wey get family for Oyinbo Country go dey pray say make
their people send money. As all of us know say plenty of our people go come home for
Christmas, some people go comot Lagos go Ijebu or Enugu, while some go comot Kaduna go
visit visit their family wey dey Ikot Ekpene or Akure. Plenty of Our people wey dey Obodo
Oyinbo go come from America or London. And the Asewo wey dey among dem go come home from
Italy come show their family plenty Jewelry wey dem buy with their Trade money.
Na this make me remember the thing wey I
read for paper about the humiliation wey our people dey face for Plane. I know say plenty
of us wey no sabi where Murtala Airport dey no go believe am because na all of us know say
na only people wey get money fit travel comot Nigeria. The money wey Travelers dey take
enter Plane no be small o my people. Una sabi say I want faint the day wey I see my
brother Plane Ticket, na style I take look am o. The Bobo pay $1,500.00 each for him
family. When I ask Mallam wey dey for our area make him times am for him, him talk say the
thing na about N172500.00 Naira for Black Market. Na him be say my brother and him family
wey reach four pay that kind money. I know believe say my brother go take that kind money
enter plane and him go dey tell us say him no get money, say America no easy. My people
poor man dey surfer o, If I get that kind money for hand I know say my Village people go
make me Chief. But the question be say with all this money I hear say our people no dey
get any respect from Airlines people. I know say the thing wey I read for paper talk say
British Airways dey yeye our people for the thing. Dem say dem dey treat our people like
say dem no be person. But dem fit put our money for their Oyinbo banks. But some people
talk say no be only British Caledonia dey do am, dem plenty gan ni. Even self I hear say
our fellow African Airlines too dey do am. My brother even talk say Nigeria Airways dey do
am before dem pack off when dem dey go America. Him talk say the people go give you food
wey dey cold and if you ask dem say make dem change am, the kind look wey dem go give you,
he go be like say na dem pay for your ticket. My people una know say our women get that
eyes proper and dem sabi use am too. My brother talk say dem go ask you say "wetin
you want make dem do with the Food?" Me I no know say na so dem dey treat people wey
poor man like me dey call Oga Money, the honourable Oppressors.
True true, if to say na so dem dey treat
our people, our government must stop am. Me as I dey so, I no dey tolerate any nonsense, I
know say I no get money but I get pride. If person no treat me well me too go disgrace am.
Me Honourable Pa 'Mugo no get money but I get plenty mouth wey no dey close, and the thing
no dey fail me at all. If these Airlines no fit respect our people, make our government no
allow dem make dey come our Obodo country. I no blame dem o, na our yeye Leaders wey
because of bribe wey dem dey give dem, na him dey make dem look the other way when dem dey
disgrace our people. I no think say people like President Gaddafi go tolerate this
nonsense for their country but our leaders the chop money wey dem put for their Bank
account for Switzerland don comot their better brain. He go good if Nigeria Authority go
create branch wey go dey monitor this kind thing. If people no fit respect us, make dem no
come our country. And as for our Nigerian Airlines, if dem know say dem no sabi their
work, make dem comot the thing. I go talk also say some of our people too, their behaviour
no dey good and he remain small. Especially our so-call Rich people wey dem think say na
their parlor dem dey for house. Dem go think say na their housemaid dem dey talk to. I
sabi one Air Hostess wey talk say plenty of our people no dey give dem respect. Dem go
talk to you like say you be their servant for house. As our Yankee Brothers dem talk am,
'he take two to tango Abe wetin dem dey call am?' He go good if all of us treat our fellow
men and women well. Na him my mouth go stop today, I go dey talk to una, make una dey do
jeje o.
December. 14. 2000 (Tory from our Archives)
"Give
Am Chance He No Get Break & Our Road Na Death Traps"
How una dey my people, I hope say una dey cool am
jeje? I say make I bring this my comment back from our Archives because
of the accident wey dey happen for our Obodo almost everyday. Una know say for about Two
months now, I don count about 20 Motor Accidents wey happen. This yeye accidents cause
close to 500 Lives wey there time never reach. Plenty of the accidents na the thing
wey we fit avoid if to say we dey take am jeje and follow traffic rules. Plenty of the
thing na because we dey rush and we too dey claim our yeye right wey be say na death he
dey cause plenty of our people. Na beg I dey beg una make una take am easy if una
dey drive or na una be passenger. If una see Motor wey una think say he no dey safe or the
driver dey craze make una comot for the Motor and wait for another one. The life wey una
save fit be our own or our family own.
Plenty of us dey drive like say we don
smoke Igbo or some people for village don put Juju for our body. I know say plenty people
wey dey drive for Nigeria no get training and the people wey for do am, the money wey dem
want chop don enter their brain. Another problem na plenty road wey we get for Nigeria.
Plenty of the road self I wonder if our Leaders no dey pass am because even person wey don
Kolo go know say the roads bad. I wonder wetin all these yeye Contractors wey do road
think about their cheap work wey dem call road? Una go see some road he go be like say na
ants build am as the no make sense. He be like say plenty road for our Obodo, dem no get
plan at all, Some roads be like the people wey do am dey blind and dem no fit see self.
I no sabi why our goverment no fit ask
Julius Berger and their fellow Contractors Warranty as dem dey do am for Obodo Oyinbo?
Plenty of these Companies self I no sabi dem at all at all, una think say the yeye work
wey dem dey do for Nigeria dem fit try am for their country? But make una no blame dem na
the yeye Nigerian Road Inspectors wey call themselves Engineers I go blame. The bribe
money wey dem dey collect from these Contractors don enter their empty head. As I talk
before, everybody go reap wetin dem sow for this life. Na so the thing be o.
Una hear that my people? Na so he be for
our country o. I know say some of una dey laugh for this kind thing but I know thing say
he dey funny. Make una see, how our government go allow this kind thing for our road. You
go see some motor for night wey no get light. If you go garage, plenty of the Molue
and Danfo wey dey there, don tey wey mechanic check dem. You go see some for road
wey be say the front go go right and the rest of him body go go left. Na so he go full so
tey some passenger na for the door dem go dey. I remember when I still be small pikin for
Lagos, if I see bus wey dey call Oshodi, Oshodi, I no go enter am untill the bus don dey
move, na him I go come jump inside. He don dey tey wey I dey do this kind thing. One day I
dey for Lagos Island dey go Palmgrove na him I come see this Molue wey don full. Na so the
bus dey make noise like machine wey dem dey take grind pepper for Ijebu. If una see the
bus as he bend? He be like say the thing want tumble for ground as most buses wey dey ply
our road be. As I no want wait na him I come jump. since say the thing full gan, na him I
come hold on to the door. Even self my two feet dey on top of another man feet. As God go
catch me, go slow no dey for road. Na so my fingers and my arm dey pain me as I no fit
grab the door well well. Oh boy I remeber my grandmother wey don die dat date. As una know
Lagos people be, na so people dey push me o. I think say I go die that day. The reason wey
I tell una this tory be say for our obodo we no get law, we the people dey live dangerous
live, You go see some motor wey you go dey see ground for inside. Some taxi self no get
cushion for their sit. If come be say you dey go far, you don die be that because your
yansh go pain you so tey you go think say na secondary school you dey wey your teacher dey
flog you. If to say na the day wey God want punish you for all the bad thing wey you don
do, he come dey rain and the taxi no come get winder, your body go soak so tey, you go
think say you dey inside river Niger. Se una want tell me say we no get people for
Ministry of Transportation wey dem hire for this kind thing. Dem dey, as I talk for the
other day say our civil servant yeye. Dem dey somewhere dey take bribe. Na the reason wey
plenty of our people dey die because our road and motor wey dey na dead trap. If you go
Igbobi, you go see plenty legs wey dem hang. Na so dead body full our general hospital.
So my people, where we dey go from here?
Una know say our government no fit do am alone. I beg una, make everybody do him
part well o. Nigeria na wa country o, make una think about am before una think about
una self.

Nigeria Don Become Killing Field
I no dey happy today because of the
thing wey dey happen for our country. Every time wey I hear say people die for our obodo,
I dey ask myself say how the person or people tay die now? Whether na North you dey or na
for South, people life no safe again. Today na this Judge die, tomorrow na Company
Director, yesterday na Lawyer the thing reach. I come dey ask say where our Security
People like Police and Army dey and wetin dem go do to prevent all these killings wey dey
happen everyday? Another question be say wetin dey cause all these killings self? This
death no be say the people sleep and dem no fit wake up o. Before we get plenty Old people
for Nigeria, but for now no be say we no get dem but the thing be say plenty of dem wey
dey alive no get money. He go tay before you go find person wey get plenty money and
still dey old. Because as una know say money na power, if Chieftaincy position open
for village and the people wey dey run for the thing think say person fit want join the
race, na so dem go send the Night Crawlers make dem go comot am from this world . And una
know wetin that one mean? Na men and women of the underworld dey cause am. As the thing
dey go now, we no sabi who be who again as crooks don plenty for our Obodo. Before crooks
no too dey get money, but as the country change na so the life our Nigerian Criminals.
Plenty of people wey get money for our Obodo now na Rogues. I no go mention their names or
titles as una sabi the people. The first thing wey I think dey cause these
deaths na Business deals. Na everybody dey dey afraid for business matter now because
trust no dey again. Greed don become our National Anthem, and Crime na our motto for Obodo
Nigeria. The decay don turn family against family, brother against sister and Northerners
against Southerners. People no dey die natural death again as our people don sabi how dem
fit yamutu their business partners and keep all the money for themselves or sometimes, na
wife go plan say make dem go kill her husband because of money. Na him bring me to some of
the people wey we hear say dem kill recently. The Insurance Managing Director wey dem kill
with that Canadian Man, we no sabi who dey behind am. And as we no fit blame our police
for every crime wey happen for our obodo, wetin our government go do for this tragedies
wey we dey face almost everyday. Nigeria don become country wey be say plenty of him
people wey dey Obodo Oyinbo no want come home since Hired Killers and Armed Robbers don
become Chiefs for Roads. The man wey dem say Assasin kill for Lagos now, I go surprise if
we find out say money no dey involve for the thing. As I talk before, people no dey fight
with their hands again, na Hired Killers dem go send make dem come settle the score. No
person life safe again especially if you be big man.
Politics na another thing
wey dey cause the thing. As we know say politics na dirty game but the one wey we get for
our Obodo don become Deadly one. If person know say you fit beat am for election, dem go
just send Dr Killers dem make dem come visit you for house. People go do anything to win
election, una see the thing wey dey happen for America, only be say that one no involve
killing wey we know. But for Nigeria we get our own style. The thing no be say now he dey
happen o, he don tay wey our Leaders dey play this kind Politics. Una remember in the
Sixties especially for Yoruba Land, plenty die because of Politics. I know say plenty of
my Yoruba brothers remember Action Group. Na the reason wey plenty people for Ogbomosho no
support our Late Papa Chief Obafemi Awolowo be that.
But these new ones dey different. Hired
Killers don become the Executioners whether the person dey guilty or not, as along
you give dem their food wey be money, dem go finish the job. The only thing wey I go talk
be say na all of us go reap the fruit wey we sow, all the people wey dem kill May God have
mercy on their souls if their hands dey clean. I go dey talk to una tomorrow as my Father
don talk am, make una dey do jeje o and treat una other people as una want make dem treat
una.

Silent Death: Cry From Our People For Obodo Oyinbo
How dey go dey go my fellow
Obodians, I hope say una dey cope? I no know if una remember say my Brother wey dey for
America don come home for Christmas. Since the man don tay for Obodo Oyinbo na him I tay
style ask am about the thing wey dey happen for America. From general questions I come
take style ask am how our people wey dey Oyinbo Country dey cope? Na this question come
lead to this one wey when I ask say how our People dey cope with some of us wey dey home?
Na him the guy come ask me say wetin I mean, make I explain myself? I come ask am say
wetin our people dey talk about us wey dey live for Nigeria? Na him come talk say na
everybody for Obodo Oyinbo dey complain about us wey dey home. I come ask am say if him
too feel the same way? Na him come ask me say which kind yeye question I dey ask am? He
come talk say se him no be Niija (na the name wey our people wey dey Oyinbo Country dey
call themselves be that, the thing mean Nigerian)? I come tell am say no be so, I just
want ask am if him too feel the same way? Na him he come talk say If I sabi why people dey
complain? I tell am say yes, with all the bad news wey dem dey hear about our Leaders dem
and the country. Plus all the crime and fight wey people dey hear about our Obodo for CNN.
Na him the Bobo tell me say that one dey but no be the main reason why people dey compain
be that. I come ask say na wetin then? Na him my brother come begin o, he talk say plenty
Nigerians wey dey Obodo Oyinbo dey complain say we too dey ask for money. He talk say if
you ask any Niija, whether na Japan the person dey o, or na for Europe dem dey live na the
same complain dem go dey complain about their people wey dey here. Him talk say the thing
don become inside joke wey be say when you ask your friends if dem dey hear from home? The
people go talk say 'no mine those people, dem think say money dey grow for tree for Oyinbo
Country". He say plenty of dem dey talk say every time wey you hear from home na
about money. My brother talk say plenty Nigerians talk say people wey dey home too dey
lazy, the only thing wey we sabi na to chop money and drink beer. Any time person die for
family, na dem wey dey live for Obodo Oyinbo we go call. He say the thing wey pain people
pass be say na everytime wey dem receive letter from home na always about money and bad
news. Him talk say plenty of us wey dey live for Nigeria, no too dey ask about their
family and how dem dey. And plenty time, we no dey send cloth or goods to their pikin or
their family as if to say dem no sabi how to wear Nigerian Cloth.
My fellow Local Obodian, una know say my
brother dey talk the thing with passion. He dey act like say na the same way him feel
about the thing. I come ask am again if he feel the same way? My brother come talk say
wetin I think? "Make I no ask am stupid question." He come talk say all of us na
the same, we too dey ask for money like say we be beggars. He even talk say at least
beggars go say thank you but no be us. If dem send us money we go dey complain say the
thing dey too small. He talk say plenty of us wey dey here we no fit survive for Oyinbo
Country because dem no tolerate Lazy people. Na from my brother I hear say because of
pressure from home, some people go pack comot their house make people for Home no sabi
where dem dey live. He talk say no be say people no want help but the pressure dey dey too
much sometimes. He talk say the thing dey worst if na only that person dey for Oyinbo
Country and him come get plenty family members for Nigeria. He talk say no be say he dem
make excuse for people wey dey do fraud, but few of dem na the thing wey dey push dem do
the thing be that as dem want do everything to impress their family. And the few ones wey
no fit cope don turn to drug as their helper. And some of dem, the thing don bring high
blood pressure for their body, dem go develop disease wey dem go treat till dey die.
My people, na from my brother I hear the
kind surferness and pressure wey we dey cause our people for Obodo Oyinbo. As the my
brother dey talk, he come be like say na me the man dey direct the thing to. But since man
must wack, I tell am say na him problem be that. But deep down, I know say the man dey
surfer for corner. I come tell am say plenty of us no be say we no sabi the thing wey dey
happen, but na situation for our yeye country wey turn everybody to Alamajiris. My fellow
Obodians, I hope say we go take am easy with dem o if we no want lose some of dem
especially the young ones. Na here I go stop, make una dey do jeje o.
December. 08. 2000
Who We go Come Believe My People?
My people na wa o, how dey
go dey go? I know say plenty of us dey follow the thing wey dey happen for Oputa Panel as
our Leaders dey expose themselves for all the bad things wey dem do when dem dey for
Power. Plenty of dem that time believe say dem be Untouchable and na their papa get our
Obodo and the rest of us na their boyiboy. As we dey hear different tory from these people
the question be say which of dem dey tell us truth? Today we go hear Mustapha talk say him
dey clean and that during Abacha Regime him save plenty people life when dem for don kill
dem. Next time we go hear other people go talk say plenty of the killings na Mustapha be
the Man-in-charge. Some of dem talk say the man na right man for Abacha Circle. The
following day Mustapha go talk say na lie the people dey lie, na him make we believe. He
talk say plenty of these Ex-Leaders dey tell tory to cover their behind. Another time we
go hear another person go say make we no believe anything wey Mustapha talk for mouth, dem
go talk say plenty of the surferness wey dem surfer na him be the Ring leader. Na so all
of this thing go dey go back and forth.
The new tory na between Diya, Abubakar and
Mustapha. Mustapha talk say General Abubakar tell dem say make dem kill Obasanjo when dem
talk say the man dey among the people wey dey plan coup during Abacha regime. When he come
reach Abubakar turn him talk say him no go appear for the thing but he talk say na lie
Mustapha dey lie. Make I talk about that one first, una see my people since plenty of us
no dey there, we no fit say na this person dey lie or na the other person dey tell truth.
But the thing be say plenty of our Leaders too dey get the thing wey dem dey call False
Pride, and the palava wey we dey now na that kind thing cause am. How dem go talk say make
everybody come explain himself for the bad thing wey dem do for corner corner, and some
people go appear and some no go answer at all. I like Former Head-of-State General
Abubakar and the man dey among my favourites but I no support the thing wey the man do
when he no show up for the thing. He no mean say because you be former President if the
country call you make you come answer for the bad thing wey dem say you do or talk you go
tell dem say you no fit come. How our country go fit move forward when plenty of our
Leaders no dey obey Law wey na dem create am? The other time na our House Leader Na'abba
na him disobey police when dem tell am make he come explain himself. All these things wey
dem dey do no dey help matter at all at all.
As I dey talk before, Mustapha talk say
Diya dey among the people wey want kill Abiola and he also talk say the man dey among the
people wey plan coup during Abacha. When General Diya come come, him talk say na lie the
man dey lie. He talk say the man dey among people wey plan bomb for him car during Abacha
regime. He even talk say he see the document wey show how dem want go tell him family
about the him death.
The question now be say since na everybody
dey lie about everybody, which person wey we want believe? My people as una know all of
dem na rogues, and if you dey steal you go dey lie na so the thing be. He dey funny say
these na people wey dey our Amry, dem train dem for death and dem no fit take
responsibilities for their yeye behavior. As my brother for Obodo America dey talk am,
these people no be Man enough, dem be coward. If to say na true true dem be soldier why
dem no fit accept the bad things wey dem do to our country. Dem come dey play us like say
we be ball and mumu. My people all these people wey dey trade tory with themselves na
liers, make una know believe anything wey comot their dirty mouth. The thing don dey
become joke self. Na here I go stop my fellow people, make una treat our country better o.
December. 07. 2000
Sharia
Palava: Who Dem Dey Fool?
How una dey my people? He
go better one day. As the Sharia become full law for Kano, my question be say wetin go
happen now to people wey no be muslim? As I talk before plenty people wey get business for
the place na Christians, how dem go tay manage since the thing go affect their way of
life. When the Idea first start the people wey dem call Sharia Overseer talk say na
everything dem go look but up till today my fellow obodians, we no fit see the thing wey
dem do. I dey hear say plenty people wey come from South don talk say dem no go come back
to the place when New Year Holiday pass. Another question be say, as Sharia no fit create
work or business, wetin Mekunu like us go dey eat or where we go come find work? Na the
kind thing wey these our Sharia Leaders for consider before dem start the thing. We no say
plenty of dem get money, and this kind surfer surfer na poor masses like us the thing go
affect. All the yeye talk say the thing go drive away crime and adultery na big joke
because if people no get work na him be say dem no go fit feed their family and if dem no
fit find money feed their people, wetin these fools wey call themselves Sharia Committee
think say go happen? I hope say dem get enough sense say the crime wey dem say Sharia go
prevent na so the thing go poku with full force. I no think say people wey dey hungry go
worry about Sharia when their pikin dey die of hunger. Sharia go bring the worse in plenty
people. For example, if thief sabi say dem fit catch am, na him be say he go make sure say
he thief plenty money well well and take am enjoy with Omoge as he know say na the end be
that if dem catch am. Na all of us hear say plenty women for North talk say dem no fit
find husband marry. And the men talk say dem no fit marry plenty wives since dem no get
work. Wetin our Sharia Leaders think go happen when less people dey get work? If dem think
am well dem go no say the marriage wahala go increase as men no go fit afford plenty
wives. And if that one happen na women go surfer am pass, since all of us know say this
body no be stone, the prostitution wey dem talk say Sharia go prevent go come double. Or
if the women no say dem no fit do am for Kano, dem go go another state where dem go fit
practice their trade. Na him be say plenty women wey come from those Sharia States go
comot the place go another state. If my Sharia Leaders sabi economics small, dem go know
say the thing go affect their States as people go go another state go find work. If this
thing happen, who go dey left for Sharia Law? And these hypocrites wey dey push Sharia, I
bet una say plenty of dem go dey go Non-Shari States go dey look for Women. Na him bring
me to our Journalist Friends say na that time we want make dem do their work. He go good
make dem send reporters go all Non-Sharia States make dem start dey ask Ashewo how many of
their Customers come from Sharia States. With that kind thing we go know whether our
Sharia Leaders go practice wetin dem dey preach to us or dem just dey use us
the masses dey promote their political agenda. Na here I go stop my people, I no go
surprise if this Sharia thing fail since dem no plan am well at all.

Oputa Panel: Trial Of Violators
How una dey my people, se
una dey manage? He get one question wey dey bother since these days? This Human Rights
abuse panel wey our government organise, se una think say na true dem go punish the
offenders? The reason be say no be say I no think say the panel dey serious but the
question be say all these people wey dem dey accuse wetin go happen to dem? Plenty of
these people na members of the power that be for our country. If una dey talk about the
Big Boys na dem be the one. Wetin our government go do once dey find say na true true
these big guns abuse people when dem dey for power. Me I no expect say our government go
do anything to dem especially since some of the people wey dey rule our country now dey
among dem.
Our Uncle Sege na number one, na everybody
know say dem torture the man when he dey for prison for crime wey dem say he no commit.
But the thing be say our President too dey among people wey do some bad things for people
when he be Head of States. Una remember say na during him regime na him dem burn Kalakuta
republic. No person wey dey alive for our Obodo during that time wey no remember the kind
thing wey dem do Fela Anukulapo Family. Dem push him mama for ground from their Balcony.
Another people wey dem mention na three Former Presidents Buhari, Babangida and
Abubakar. Na everybody remember say during Buhari, plenty of our politicians surfer when
dem talk say dem thief money. But we know say na true true those rogues thief money
because na that time our government kidnap Diko for London because dem talk say the man
take our money go keep for obodo oyinbo. As for Babangida own, na everybody wey dey alive
during him regime na him the man abuse. Plenty of the palava wey we dey face now, na him
cause am. Na during him regime this Hired Killers nonsense start. 419, ritual killings,
corruption, all bad thing wey you fit think of happen during the man regime. Una know say
me too get problem with the man because plenty of my family surfer well well when
Babangida dey rule our country.
The person wey I not dey sure of na him be
Abubakar. I no say the man do some bad things for people but since na him be De Klerk of
our Obodo, I go commend am because na him make this democracy happen no be Babangida wey
dey talk say na during him regime he plan the thing but everybody know say he no do
anything except fill him bank with our money. I know say there are some people wey dey
important post during these leaders times wey I no mention but dem no themselves. My
people I hope say una gree with me say I no know how this people go tay pay for the crimes
wey dem commit. Make we start with Uncle Sege, wetin our country go do to am since na him
be President? Na all of us know say the man do wrong to Baba Seventy Family. We know say
dem no fit send the man to Kirikiri for the thing. So the question be say since Uncle Sege
no go get any punishment how una go come punish Babangida dem wey our country no go
dabaru? Na this kind think make me support people wey talk say Oputa Panel na joke because
plenty of the offenders na who-is-who for our Country be that. How dem go come punish dem?
Me I no think say he go happen, na the Mutum one wey no get power go surfer, people like
Sergeant Rogers and Mustapha. But if we want dey fair na everybody wey dem convict should
surfer the thing but I get sense enough say no be this our Obodo that one go happen.
Even self he be like say joke thing don
start, because no be last week wey some of the players dem dey hug and exchange Hats for
the place? My people these our Leaders dem think say dem dey fool us, small time dem go
talk say na money make dem give the people wey dem abuse. The question wey I get be say,
the money wey dem go pay dem where dem want collect am from? I hope say no be for our
National Treasury dem go take am since we no dey there when dem dey thief our money and
torture people, he go good make the offenders pay the thing from their their pockets since
na dem dey responsible for the thing. But I go dey surprise if our Generous Government
(wey no fit feed her people and plenty of her citizens dey poor) no give dem the money. Na
this reason wey I talk say this country no be for me and you be that. The rich dey get
richer why we the masses dey get wretched everyday. Na so he be for our obodo my people na
only God, Allah fit save us.

Blood Thick Pass Water: Na For Where?
Nawa my people wetin this
world dey turn to? As our country dey pafuka na so our moral dey spoil for ground. As our
long-throat for wealth dey grow na so our crime dey dey heinous everyday as Oyinbo people
dey talk am. Every where you go now you go hear say dem find person body for dustbin wey
dem don comot him body parts. And for the Armed Robber own, before if you hear say robber
attack person dem go just take him thing and run comot but now even if you give them your
motor without any wahala dem go still kill the person. Our people don become evil wey be
say life no mean anytime again. Na the thing wey my brother for America tell me as him don
come home for Christmas na him make me know say the people wey talk say we need Allah,
Mohammed, Jesus and God Almighty for our life no dey lie. This our society don decay
finish na only devine Intervention fit safe us from destruction. According to my brother,
dem say one woman dey wey come from London come greet her family for Nigeria. And the
woman no get Mama again, na her senior sister be the one wey take their mama place. During
conversation, the Sister come dey ask her younger sister for money since na all of us
think say Money just dey float for street for Oyinbo Country, all we go do be say make we
gather plane money and go there go sweep our own and pack for Ghana Must Go Bag. The
sister come tell her Senior Sister say life no dey easy for the place o. She come add to
am say the small money wey dem fit gather na him dem dey take send their pikin go Nursery
School. My people wetin dey wrong with that talk especially if person dey talk to her
blood? As dey now, he no too dey good make person dey tell truth for our obodo because the
thing fit cause you your life especially when you dey talk to your relatives. As the woman
come go back to Queens Land for London, na him her pikin come start dey sick and dem
carrry am go Hospital but dem no fit see the thing wey dey wrong with the pikin. I hear
say dem even carry all kind of Disease test wey you fit find for our Obodo for him body
but the bobo condition no improve. As una know our people na him dem carry the boy go
Nigerian Church and dem come tell am the person wey dey behind the thing. But the people
no believe say the Senior Sister fit do that kind thing. Na him dem come bring to Native
Doctor for our Obodo wey dey good gan, the person say the same thing. Finally na him dem
say make dem go Imam place since the Husband papa na Chief for Lagos Mosque, and tha one
come confirm say na the Senior sister be the "ant wey dey eat the vegetable o."
I hear say the Imam even tell dem the thing wey lead to am. Na that come make the woman
believe say true true na her sister do am since the Imam no dey there when she dey talk to
her sister about life for Obodo Oyinbo.
My people una know the crime wey the woman
comit because she talk say plenty of her money na for her pikin head she dey spend
am. Na her crime be that o. No be the thing wey better mother dey do be that? Na wa my
people, I guess say the Senior Sister believe say if she comot her Sister pikin, her
younger sister go fit dey give am plenty money. Which kind money wey person dey find wey
you go come kill your own flesh and blood, we dey talk about small pikin wey no reach 7
yet?
Another one wey I hear na some people wey
ask their relatives make dem dey help dem dey look after their pikin when dem want go
Obodo America. When life don dey better for dem for Aamerica na him dem come decide say
make dem come home come take their pikin na him palava begin. The relatives no want make
the parent take the pikin because the thing go end their own chop money. Ever since the
people dey for America na him dem dey send money to their relatives make dem dey take look
after the pikin. He come be say na him be the bread and butter for the relatives. Na the
thing wey dem dey rely on be that, the thing come become their monthly allowance and
benefit. Since our Naira don fall, na basket dem dey take carrry the money when dem change
am to Naira. The people carry all the necessary papers go embassy but dem still no fit get
Visa for their pikin. Dem go America go try am there, na the same thing he be. Na him the
people come get lawyer for the thing and Immigration come tell dem say make dem do blood
test wey go confirm say na their pikin true true. But my people una know say the thing
come negative. America tell dem say the pikin no be their own. Orisanobuwa, how dem go
tell person say the pikin wey she born no be him get am. As una know our culture na him
dem go ask the Elders/Babalawo say wetin dey behind am, na him dey come tell dem say na
their relatives wey no want make their chop money stop na dem dey behind am. No be say I
believe in that kind thing but whether we like am or not, Juju na part of our cultures and
plenty people still dey practice am. We no fit talk say the thing no dey happen because na
all fo us know say he dey well and live for our society
Wetin this world dey turn to my people? Na
the kind thing wey dey happen for our obodo be that o, money palava don become our God and
soul wey be say we go do anything to get am. The talk say Blood thick pass Water na lie
for our Obodo, unless money no dey involve for the thing. My people na sad story, and na
everyday people dey die because another person want their money by force. I hope say the
people wey dey do this juju for dem go think twice before dem do am because Judgement day
go soon come o. Na here I go stop my people, make una dey do jeje o.

40 Years Birthday Celebration:
Note From Overseas
How una
weekend my fellow Obodians, I hope say una enjoy the weekend? I don hear another one my
people, but this one own na imported. My source for Obodo Oyinbo dem, na dem nak me this
one o. Una know say plenty of us too dey tell tory, na him be say we too dey tell a little
tory for thing wey no happen. Na all of us get the thing for body, me too don nak a little
one before. But this one wey I want tell una, even
people wey dey live here no dey tell this kind lie. Even if my fellow local Obodians here
this one, na so their mouth go open. As my sources tell me, dem say the thing don become
epidemic for Overseas among our people. This one, men too dey do am o, plenty of time, na
the wives or girlfriends dem dey make dem do am. I know say plenty of una go say wetin Pa
Mugo want talk wey he no fit open him mouth since? My people this one na real
shocker for me. But as I don talk before say, anything wey concern my people whether na
for here o or na Obodo Oyinbo, me I go talk am.
My people the thing wey I hear, I
no know if una don am hear before, but I go tell una. I hear say for overseas, our women
dem dey do competition for birthday own. Dem say no week wey you no go hear say some woman
dey celebrate her birthday. I know say people go talk say wetin dey new for that one? But
my people this one different, as my source tell me, plenty of our Omoges dem dey celebrate
their 40th Birthday. Una no here
me, I say plenty of dem dey celebrate this one particular bithday whether dem reach 40 or
not. Una know say plenty of our women too dey lie about their age. But one thing be say
make you lie about am, another thing be say make you come invite people make dem come
celebrate am with you, na that one me I no sabi. When person do that, that means say he
don certify am be that, and he no go fit change am again.
The thing wey I no sabi be say, se the people dem no know say dem dey make
fool of themselves? Make I ask una my people, who dem think say dem dey fool self. The
kind lie wey you no fit defend for future, make you no dey tell am. As my source tell me,
he say there is one woman wey dey for their area, last year the woman invite people make
dem come help am celebrate her 40th birthday own. Plenty people go there, go
drink free booze and food. Dem say the party na one in town. But the thing get but for
body. As dem dey talk am for our obodo say lier no dey get memory, this year na him the
same woman come dey give our people wey dey come home for Christmas invitation for her
Senior Sister 40th Birthday for December. The sister wey everybody know say at
least take Five years senior the woman wey dey for obodo oyinbo. People come dey ask her
say If you talk say your Senior sister dey celebrate her 40th birthday
this year, how she go come be your senior if you celebrate your own last year? I
hear say the woman no fit talk, na so she vex comot the place. Another one wey I hear be
one Omoge (Woman) wey be twin. He don dey tay wey the girl dey lie about her age, two year
ago, na him dem say she talk say she be 40 make people come celebrate am with am. Plenty
people know say the woman dey nak tory but since dem no get proof, people just dey look
am. As God go catch am, her twin brother come get Visa Lottery to Gods own country.
The man come go with him wife for America. The woman come dey introduce her twin to people
so that dem go fit help am for work. She no know say na the thing wey go kill am be that
as three months pass, na him her brother wife come organize birthday party for that one.
Everybody wey be everybody na him I hear say dey there as the Bobo dey nice. As dem come
bring cake out , na him people see this big word, HAPPY 38TH BIRTHDAY for the
thing. Na him some people wey want make fool of the Twin Sister come ask the bobo say how
you go be 38th, when your Twin Sister celebrate her 40th Birthday
two years ago? Una know say we men, we no too dey lie about our age, and when the thing
happen na our women dey behind am. Na him the Bobo come talk say how she go be 40th
when our senior sister never reach. The bobo talk say he no dey possible become as
everybody know say na him be her twin brother. My people na so I hear say the woman no fit
show her face for the place again o as she move comot go another state.
Se una see the kind humilation
wey our women dey cause themselves because dem no want make people think say dem be small
pikin. As I hear the thing , I come remember the thing wey my Grandmother tell me (may her
soul rest in peace) say a woman wey dey lie go dey fornicate and thief money and jewelry.
I no fit sabi why person go dey lie about him age? Especially the one wey you no go fit
defend, if your relative and neigbours wey sabi you since come dey around; wetin you go
come tell dem? Una see my people, the same one wey one age fast when dem dey young, go
come want reverse the thing when old age come.
My people the thing wey I go say be
say, na this :Have Been To go dey come dey shakara us for Nigeria say we no dey
honest and we too corrupt, the question I get for dem be say, wetin different between us
and dem if dem no fit copy Oyinbo way. Since I hear say Oyinbo no dey lie about their age,
wetin be our people excuse at least me and una wey never comot Murtala Airport get one, we never go Obodo Oyinbo before.
Nawa o my fellow Nigerians, na
the kind lie our women dem dey live for Overseas be that o. I hope say dem go change their
yeye ways before the thing cause katakata for Oyinbo country wey dem go drive all of dem
comot.

Haba Governor, You Dey Think Like This?
How dey go dey my fellow
Nigerians? I beg make una slow am down small small. Our Governor for Zamfara State don
start another one o. Na last week my source for North dey tell me say the Governor want
become President of our Obodo Country. This na the same Governor wey start Sharia Palava
for him state o. Me I not get problem if a person want become President since na everbody
for Nigeria get that right. The only thing be say before I go vote for a person, I go don
know say the person go do better thing for us the masses. Na him be say I go look the man
history, like wetin he don do for the commoners for him state and for our beautiful
country. As for this Governor o, me I get problem with am but before I start dey tell una
why make I finish tell una the thing wey my source say the Governor talk. My source tell
me the Governor talk for BBC Radio say he go turn our obodo to Muslim Country. The man
talk say Sharia go come become the thing wey everybody go dey practice for Nigeria. My
people, when my source first tell me I think say the Bobo dey joke because no be kind
thing you go hear from person wey no dey Kolo. I no even think say person wey be Mumu or
dey smoke Igbo go fit talk like that. I no believe my Source untill two days ago when I
read am for Paper.
My people this na person wey be Governor
of a state o and no be say the man dey craze like this? And I know say the man go
University, he no fit dey reason like person wey no get anything upstairs. Wetin we go say
dey wrong with this man if to say na true true he talk am? Una know think say the man don
dey smoke Ganja for him State House? How person wey we know say sabi our constitution go
dey talk like this. Even if the man no sabi that, how the man want become President when
plenty people wey dey for Nigeria no like am? I know say we get plenty Muslim pass
Christian for our Obodo, but the thing be say plenty Muslim no like the yeye thing wey the
man start for him State. Una remember say plenty people wey die for North because of
Sharia no Sharia, na this man cause the madness. Na him use Sharia matter for Politics so
him people go like am. Where he want get people wey go vote for am now? Even if the man
win him state and some Muslim states for North, how he go tay win States wey no get Muslim
majority? If you go Middle Belt area, plenty people wey dey for those states na Christian.
And if you come come South West wey get plenty Muslim, the people there no dey vote for
person because he dey practice their religion. If dem no vote for Obasanjo wey be Yoruba
man, how the man think say dem go come vote for am since plenty family for South west get
relatives wey be Christians? And I know say the people wey dey for South East and South-
South no go vote for am with that kind agenda since almost everybody for the place na
Christians. So Governor Sani, how you want do am now? If no be say the man dey kolo
because I no fit talk say the man dey drunk since na him be Oga for Sharia (laughter),
wetin we go come say dey wrong with the yeye Educated Illiterate wey we call governor?
If the man dey think, he go know say apart
from my fellow Obodians, plenty Oyinbo Countries no go allow am because dem get too much
for our obodo. Alhaji Sani or wetin you call your name, I fit bet you with every thing wey
I get for this life say he no dey happen. But make I stop dey waste my saliva since we
know say the man dey kolo.
My people na so our country be o, this one
dey too much for me, how the man tay win election self? Wonder no dey cease for our obodo,
this na baddest. Crazy person become Governor for our beloved Nigeria. Na here I go stop
my people, make una dey do jeje o jare.

Shame on our Southern Youths
How una dey my people, I
hope una dey manage? I beg make una no vex for yesterday own, na my diskette no work when
our Engineers dem want carry (upload) my file for Internet.
My people he don tay wey I
talk say I go talk about this thing wey dey give me concern about our Youths for Southern
part of our Obodo. Una remember say during past regimes, na almost everyday our pikin dem
for south dey protest against the government. Na all of us know say he no dey easy for all
of us especially the masses and our university students dem. But the thing be say the same
thing wey plenty of dem dey fight agaist still dey well alive and dey kampe my fellow
obodians. The only difference between our own Democracy and Dictatorship na name, every
thing else still dey happen. Our Leaders dem still chop money. And plenty of us still dey
die of hunger. No be this year we hear say our National Assembly dem divide our money
among themselves and dem call am Furniture Allowance, wey plenty Papa and Mama no fit feed
their pikin dem? He no mean say dem call am democracy the Barawo for their body don comot?
Why be say that same energy wey our pikin for South dem dey display during past regimes we
no too dey see am now? He no mean say the person wey dey there now na from our Region,
make we no come talk.
Make we look am well well,
plenty of our Elected Official dem dey among the people wey run our country during
Babangida and Abacha dem. Una want tell me say dem no be Ibo, Yoruba, Itsekiri, Ijaws
during military Regime? Ever since last year wey we start this I notice say anytime wey
our Leaders for south dem do something wey no good or say something wey we no say he no
good for the country, our youths for South dem no dey talk. This dey common among our
pikin dem wey come from south west. Last month wey OPC and some thugs dem cause palava for
Lagos, plenty of our Youths no talk anything. Dem act like say dem no dey for Nigeria. Now
because our people get upperhand, we come act like say the people wey die no be person and
dem no get family wey go miss dem? He com be like say we no get University Students for
Lagos again, as all of dem just dey go their own way. And If I want dey fair I think our
youths for South East na the same. Una remember when dem talk say our Brother Chief
Okadigbo and some Senators for National Assembly do some mago mago and take wayo award
contract to their themselves and friends, I no hear make our pikin dem for South East
condemn the thing. But during Military regimes na everyday dem dey dey for Street dey
shout say dem no go gree. Na this kind thing make me talk say na all of us get the thing
wey dem dey call Tribalism for body. As I see am, he no mean say because person come from
our area if we see am dey do injustice to other people make we act like say we no see am.
Injustice na injustice whether the victim or the offender come from our area or not. If we
see am, we must let the person know say we no like the thing wey he dey do.
Na him make me remember some Youths
Organizations for North wey dem dey call Northern Democratic Forum and Northern Youths for
Democracy and Justice. Anytime wey some of these Old Fools wey we get for North talk
nonsense these pikin dem no go gree dem. I remember last month wey some of our Leaders for
Arewa Consultative Forum dey talk say our Uncle Sege and him Cabinets no sabi their work
and dem talk say the man dey marginalize my people for North. The Youths dem talk say na
nonsense, dem talk say wetin the Leaders dem do for our people wey dey North especially
since plenty of dem dey Leadership post during Miltary regimes. Dem even talk say plenty
of the problem wey we get for Nigeria now, na these same leaders dem cause am. Una see my
pikin dem, these na youths wey come from North o, dem no talk say because the Leaders na
from their area, make dem no crticize dem. Na this kind thing make me proud of dem. Dem
know say all the wahala wey dey for our country na these yeye leaders cause am. And plenty
of dem wey dey call themselves Northern Leaders we no fit see the good thing wey dem do
for my people for North. Only thing dem sabi na to chop our money and give their friends
and family contracts.
So my brothers for South, he go good if
una copy this behaviour because na the thing wey go help our country be that. If una see
any leader wey dey talk nonsense, he no mean say because he come from una area make una no
say anything. Wetin go happen if all the youths dey do same thing since una know say na
una be our Future. I hope say all of us go condemn injustice when we see am. My motto be
say make we call things the way we see am, na the thing wey fit help our country be that.
Na here I go stop, make una dey do jeje o.

Privatization: The Name Wey Workers No Want Hear
How una dey my fellow
citizens, se una dey manage? Wetin I dey hear say plenty of our Civil Servants no want
make our government sell some of the Government Companies to Private Investors? My
question about the thing be say, how many of us sabi the thing? Wetin the thing mean for
plenty of us wey no sabi book? Una know say plenty of our people no too dey hear
well, plenty of us na Zombie we be, we no too dey listen well. I know say plenty people
dey talk say the thing no good for us and if our government sell the companies like NITEL
and NEPA, the worker no go get work. Na the kind excuse wey dem dey take dey scare plenty
of us wey no sabi the thing be that. As I ask people wey dey around me make dem explain
to me, dem talk say true true some people no go get work when dem sell the company
to Private group because the new owners fit talk say dem no want keep plenty people for
their company. As all of us know say no person wey go take money buy the company and
he no go want make profit for the thing. He be like person wey buy house wey get Ten
Security guards, if he think say Ten Security Guards dey too much, he go sack some of dem
especially the ones wey dey lazy, na so this company thing be. If the people wey buy the
new company think say plenty people wey dey do work dey too much for the work, dem go sack
some people wey dem no like or wey dem think say dey lazy. Plus una know say dem go get
their own management wey dem sabi proper and want bring for the company. Una know think
say dem go leave people wey dey no sabi make dem run their company? My people I know say
plenty of us get family wey dey rely on us but person no fit dey run company like that. Na
all of us know say plenty of these companies wey our Government want sell no dey make
money for the country. Another thing be say na all of us know say plenty of our Brothers
and Sisters wey dey work for NITEL, NNPC, and NEPA dey lazy dem no want work. If una go
their go ask dem for something, na so dem go dey look una like say you dey worry dem. As I
talk before, if you dey sure of your work you no go get problem with the new Management,
na only when you no dey do your work and you be Baba for Fraud na him you go dey worry. Na
everyday people dey course NEPA, NITEL and NNPC since we no say dem useless. No be say we
no get family for the companies, but the bribe wey dem want chop no dey make dem do their
work well unless you give dem EGUNJE (Family Support) as dem dey call am now. As the thing
yeye una sabi say plenty of these people no dey know family, if you go meet your brother
or sister for work and tell am say for example una light no dey work, you know say he go
tell you say na another person dey in charge of am since him no say he no fit take money
from you. Na him friends dem he go talk say dey in charge for the thing and those want go
come tell you say because you be their friend relative dem go take small money from you.
As soon as you leave the place your so-called blood go go him friends office go collect
him share of the money. Na the kind trick wey plenty of dem dey use be that. Make we dey
serious, na all of us dey complain say plenty of these government companies no dey work
and the only way wey our country go better be say make dem sell some of dem to private
investors. The thing go fit better our life since people wey put their money for the
companies go make sure say the workers dey work well well.
As the thing be my brother, no be say I
support when our government sell the thing to their friends or families. And me I know
support make foreign companies own majority of the company, dem fit get some shares since
we need their expertise for the thing but no be say make dem get majority stake for the
companies. He go good if our Leaders go do am wey be say no tribe, person, or group go
dominate the company. He go good if our government do so tay all the tribes go get say for
all the companies and no particular tribe, family or group go get majority since the
companies belong to all of us and if we want sell am na every region go get money for the
thing. He go good if our leaders do am wey be say no family or group go fit control all of
dem since we no want make dem dey use wayo dey fix prices as my Neigbours wey sabi
Economics talk.
So my fellow Obodians, he
go good make una ask about the thing before una go dey complain say una know want am. Me I
no dey like make person dey do follow follow especially if he no sabi the thing wey dey go
on. Another thing be say if we want make life better for us and our family, all these
Government companies wey dey cost our country money must go. We no fit eat our cake and
still dey hold am for hand. If we want better thing, we must sacrifice to get am. NEPA,
NITEL, NNPC and the rest of dem must go. Na here I go stop my people, make una dey do jeje
o.

The Man Wey Dem No Want Make He Talk
How una dey manage my
fellow Obodians, I hope say una dey Kampe? Tory don sele as Major Hamza El-Mustapha open
him mouth. The man talk say there is plenty tory wey he want talk about the thing wey
plenty of our Leaders dem do. As the man talk say he go tell it all, my source say some
people dey threat him family. I hear say plenty Miltary Officials and Leaders from all
corners for Nigeria no want make the man talk. The man even talk say some yeye Oba for
Yoruba land dey beg am make him make himself president because of yeye money wey don make
dey sell their soul and kingship. I hope say the man go fit tell us who these yeye people
be so we go fit disgrace dem from their royal thrones. We dey hear say dem say dem go kill
am if the man continue to open him about the thing wey some of dem do for when and after
Killer Abacha dey alive. Nawa my people, our Leaders/Military don become mafia wey be say
dem go do anything to get rid of their opponent. He be like say na true Major Hamza
El-Mustapha dey talk about all the thing wey happen during and after Abacha regime. As the
thing be now, he be like say the man and him family life no safe for Nigeria. My people
since plenty of our leaders don turn to cold killers he go good make we invite foreign
security force make dem come protect the man and him family if we want hear all the thing
wey happen. I know say plenty una no go support this kind thing because una go dey talk
say the thing affect our Sovereign as the Grammarians dey talk am but as we all sabi, our
country no be ordinary country. Nothing we get wey dey work. If we no protect the man and
his family we no go know who among us are traitors and killers. As the thing be now, he be
like say powerful people wey no want the man talk dey plenty and as he be for our Obodo,
before una know, una go hear say dem don kill the man. And if dem no fit get to am, na him
family go surfer am. He go good if our government fit involve foreign government for the
thing especially Interpol and CIA for America. Na only those people fit protect the man
and him people. I know say he dey hard but if we want make the man tell us everything
inside Abacha Web and the players for the Killer regime, na all of us go support say make
our government protect the man. But the question be say who for the government go protect
the man and him family since plenty people wey dey for our government now na member of the
past government. Na him be say the man and him people life no dey safe for our obodo. I no
go mind if dem move am and him family to foreign soil where the pressure no go to dey much
for am. Because if we no do am, he no go tay for the people wey no want the man talk bribe
some people for Kirikiri make dem kill am.. And as all of us know say for our country na
everybody get him price, but I hope say whoever dem give the contract know say him too no
safe. He no mean say if dem give the person money dem no go kill am. People wey dey do
this kind no dey like make dem leave anything wey go fit point the thing to dem alone. Na
the reason why dem want kill the Major Hamza El-Mustapha be that. I no say dem go dey plan
to kill Sergent Roger as him too talk about the kind leaders wey we get for Nigeria wey be
say dem go do anything to protect their yeye power.
My people na so life be for Nigeria o, if
you cross these yeye power dem, before you know am dem go do everything to yamutu you for
ever. I hope say Uncle Sege go do everything under him power to protect the man and his
innocent family from the killers among us wey go dey gun for the man head. I hope all so
say Major Mustapha too go remember say even if him no talk the people go still go dey come
after am since dem no say as long as he dey alive he go fit reveal the thing to the
public. Na this kind thing make me know say person no dey safe for our Banana Nigeria
Republic be that, the country don turn to Mafia Era for obodo America. But make I tell una
the truth I no dey surprise since dem don introduce hired killers to our obodo anything
can happen.
My people na here I go stop I go dey talk
to una tomorrow.

Thanksgiving: From God's Own Country
How una dey my people, how
dey go dey go? I beg today na my brother for America na him ask me say make I help am
thank our Almighty God, and make the MAN continue to bless am and our people since na
yesterday dem celebrate Thanksgiving for Obodo America. My fellow Obodians na wa for
people wey dey for America o. As I see am he be like say dem get holiday for everything.
If to say you be herbalist dem get their own holiday, and if na religion proper, dem get
holiday for that one too. Any time wey I talk to my brother for the place dem dey
celebrate something. If dem no celebrate war, dem go dey celebrate food, and if no be
food, dem go dey celebrate work. Make una look am my fellow Obodians, the people for obodo
America dem get holiday for everything wey you fit think of for this life. Yesterday na
him dem say dem dey celebrate THANKSGIVING, which mean say dem dey thank God, Allah,
Olorun and Chineke as the man dey bless dem with plenty food. Sometimes una go hear say
dem dey celebrate the thing wey dem dey call President day, na the time wey dem dey thank
their past president. Na wa, I guess we no fit blame dem since plenty of their President
do better thing for dem. As for us, which person wey una sabi other than Zik, Tafawa
Balewa, Awolowo, Gowon and Murtala Mohammed wey be say he do better thing for our Obodo.
The only thing wey plenty of our past leaders sabi be say make dem take the money wey dem
for take fix our obodo make am their own. Na so you go dey hear say dem dey take the
country money carry am go Overseas with plenty 'Ghana Must Go Bags.' Instead make dem take
the money do better thing for our county na so dem go carry am go help another country and
their family.
Make I continue with my talk ojare, for
obodo America dem even get holiday for workers, na him dem dey call labour day for the
place. No be say he no good for Nigeria but the thing be say if we no want deceive
ourselves plenty us wey dey work for our Obodo dey lazy. I no talk about our mama wey get
shop or few of our sisters and brothers wey dey manage dey sell something for Market. I
dey talk about some of the people wey wey call Civil Servants and corporate. Their nose
don dey long for Fraud. The only thing wey dem sabi na to turn your business to empty
stadium as dem don use their AGBARI sell your stuff finish. No be say I no like my country
but the thing be say plenty of us we too dey do wayo too much. We no too dey get better
thing for body other than say make wey use 419 for people.
My people if we look am well well no be
say America perfect but the people dey give glory and thanks for everything wey dem dey
do. Se una hear say dem get celebration for Witchcraft for the place na him dem dey call
HALLOWEEN. If we look well well, no place get JUJU pass us for this World. If you want
make person craze we get am. If to say we want use person make money that one plenty. And
if na sport we dey do and we want make all our opponents eyes blind we get am too. And if
person get belle and we want make he no born the thing, we get solution for that one too.
Why be say na for America dem dey celebrate Evil why we no fit do am for Nigeria. As for
Bible dem talk say make you give 'Ceaser wetin belong to am and make you give our LORD
ALMIGHTY him own'. My people if we compare our country to America, the gap wey dem between
us I no think say dem go fit close am generations to come. Why wey no fit dey celebrate
those things too? As I see am God dey bless America because everything wey dem do for this
life dem dey thank their God or the person involved. But for our Obodo, na only bad thing
we sabi and that one too we no fit do am well. God talk say anything wey you dey do for
this life or wey person do for you make you thank am well well. Una remember say in the
Sixties and Seventies wey things better for us, we get plenty celebrations for our God.
Whether na South West you dey o, or na South east and if to say na North you go too na the
same thing. Everybody dem enjoy as people dey involve with our tradition. During this
time, people go celebrate Yam Festival, God of Rain, God of Iron and Thunder. We get
plenty festival for North, south and everywhere for nigeria. As the thing dey na so people
dey enjoy. I remember for North wey we get plenty Groundnut, Turkey, Pepper, Cow and other
food items. Na so the thing be for South too wey wey get plenty Yam, Red Oil, Cassava,
Cocoa and other things. Every year you go dey hear different celebrations for our obodo.
As we start dey go away from the thing, na so poverty come begin dey crawl into our
society. Disease come plenty for our obodo as we forget our tradition dey run after
Western own. People come begin dey comot farm dey look for gold mines in the cities. We
come become people with no direction for life as we forget our traditions and ways of
life. I no talk say make we no worship God o, but we get our Cutom too wey our Forefathers
don lay down for us from generations to generations. If una look at America, all these
things wey dem dey do he don tay wey dem don dey do am. Those people still dey follow
their traditons as I dey talk now, up till today. But make una look us, our own no dey
good for our face, na the thing wey dem do for Obodo Oyinbo na him we want kill ourselves
for. Na this kind thing make our Factory and companies go belle up. All the palava wey we
get now, plenty of dem na because of our long throat as we no dey proud of our own. My
people as dem talk say people wey no get root or forget where dem come go become like a
tree with no root. I hope say all of us go look within ourselves and change before it
become too late o.
Na here I go stop for now, make una dey do
jeje o .

How Nigeria Fit Progress
My people me I don tire of
all these people wey we call our Leaders. All these fake and Emergency Leaders wey we dey
get for Nigeria time don reach wey we go find dem some place where dem no go fit dey cause
wahala and poverty again. Every time you hear for Radio or Television, the people wey we
call our Leaders go say some nonsense because dem no fit get want dey want. No be this
week I hear say some of our Leaders for North dey talk say if the people for Yoruba Land
no give money to pay people wey die for Lagos, Nigeria no go see peace. Dem talk say dem
go dabaru everything. These na people wey tomorrow dem go come South west come dey beg for
votes when dem want run for Election. The thing wey pain me be say, some of these people
don rule our country before. But since the power no dey for their hands now, anything wey
the other person do, no dey good for their face. I even hear say dem dey talk to our Vice
President say make he help dem get the thing wey the Northerners deserve. The thing wey I
no understand be say our Vice President na for whole nation. He no mean say because the
man na Northerner na only him people he go dey help. This Vice President post no be
regional one or local. If dem want person wey go only think about their area, dem get
Senators and Legislators wey fit do that kind thing. As for this nonsense wey I dey hear
say dem dey threat southern governors na sakara. Wetin tell dem say if dem start dey kill
southerners wey dey for their area, wetin dem think say the other people go dey do? Se dem
think say dem go just dey look dey for face. This thing wey dem dey say for public no be
the kind thing wey you go expect from people wey we consider Statesmen. This power self
wey all of dem want kill themselves for, wetin make dem think some of us wey be
Northerners want dem to rule us even if we come from the same area? Plenty time wey dem
dey there wetin dem do for us? I no care whether person come from my area or not, if when
he reach the place he no do anything to help the country or some of us wey dey struggle
the man no be our leader.
My people I no say this thing wey I go
talk now, plenty of una go think say the thing dey cruel. If our country go better, I no
think say we go get am from all these people wey we call our Leaders. For the past 30
years, plenty of these people don dey rule us, wetin we get for the thing, no be poverty?
If una go obodo oyinbo, una go see their spoil pikin wey just dey blow our money for Asewo
why we dey surfer for Nigeria. I go tell una this, the only wey wey we go survive be say
make dem put all of dem for Prison, and throw away the key for Bar Beach . I for say make
we do the thing wey dem do for Ghana, but that one go dey too much and I no support make
people die for our hand. I know say plenty of these people deserve am, but Prison go good
for dem wey den no go fit comot.
My people make I tell una this, unless the
yeye Leaders comot patapata, I no think say we go get any peace for Nigeria. Make una look
at people wey dey for important position for our country, how many of dem never dey for
government before? I fit count dem for my hand, una know why because all of dem na proper
Barawo. Dem dey too lazy to work with their hand, na the thing wey make dem be Jaguda for
paper be that. See all of dem, plenty of dem na ex-solidier, which kind country wey una
sabi wey be say plenty of the people wey get money na army? I hear say dem get plenty
Soldier for America, but no be say dem rich, dem just dey comfortable. But for our obodo,
if you want become rich make you just become Soldier, before una blink una eyes, he don
build 50 rooms mansion for Lafiaji. As I see am my fellow obodians, as long as these
Oyinochi, Barawo and Ole dey for these positions, we go continue to be poor. Na here I go
stop, make una think about our Obodo first before una think about una pocket. I no want
hear say na that one I go chop because na the thing wey dey cause our Wahala be that.

Armed Robbers don turn our Obodo to Beirut
Na wa my people, how una
dey cope with all these Armed robbers wey don turn our Obodo to their Domain. Everywhere
you go now, na Armed Robber problem you go dey hear. No be this weekend I hear say the men
of underworld kill four Police chief for our Obodo. Two weeks ago, na MD for Insurance na
him meet him death from from these yeye people wey don turn our little Havana into
Somalia. I even hear say dem kill one or two Foreigners for Lagos area. My people wetin
our Leaders dem dey do about this yeye thing. As Uncle Sege dey go Obodo Oyinbo dey tell
dem say make dem come invest money for Nigeria, which person wey get sense go answer am. I
even hear say the man dey tell Nigerians wey dey Overseas make dem come home come invest.
As I tell my brother wey dey for America, na the same thing I go tell una wey dey Obodo
Oyinbo. This one no be say I no like my country but I no go fit live with myself if I no
tell una this thing. My Fellow Nigerians wey dey Overseas, I beg if una value una life
make una no come home not even for Chrstimas o. The way those murderers dey kill no be
small, dem no even value life at all at all. As una know say plenty of dem sabi say most
Nigerians wey dey obodo Oyinbo dey come home for christmas. Una know say dem go dey plan
how dem go operate during holiday. As for the people wey dem talk say make dem come invest
money, how person go invest money wey be say him life no safe. I know say some people go
dey talk say our Government dey try him best against these killers but as for me o, I no
think say our government dey try at all at all. If to say na true true dem want stop am
dem for do the thing wey I talk about two months ago wey I say make dem announce am for
Radio. The thing wey our Government go say be say dem go tell everybody say if dem know
their pikin or brother wey be robbers make dem tell Government. As una know, I no
think say plenty parents dey wey no sabi the kind work wey him pikin dey do. Our
government go talk say if dem catch Armed Robbers na all him family dem go put for
Kirikiri for "aiding and abetting" as my lawyer friend dey say. I know say
plenty family no go tell Police, but dem go fit warn their pikin about him dangerous
work. If our Government try this plenty people go tell their pikin make he stop the bad
behaviour before he put dem for trouble. Another thing wey I think say he go fit slow the
thing down be say make our government start dey show Robbers wey dey face Firing Squad for
Television. At least the thing go dey shame their family. May be this kind thing go make
parents warn or report their pikin trade to the Government. Another thing be say our
Government should monitor all these yeye rogues wey dem dey call themselves Police &
Army for our Obodo. My people make ask una something, where una think say the robbers dey
get their gun? No be these yeye people wey we call Police and Army dey behind am? He go
good if our government look him body first before he go dey look for killers outside.
Since Police and Army na part of our government, make dey start dey put number for bullet
wey dem dey give our Military. For morning if dem no fit tell our government where their
bullets dey, na him be say na for Alagbon we go send dem. He go also good if we fit put
our Force near the border since I hear say plenty of the Jeeps wey dem dey steal, na for
Cameroon and Cotonou dem dey send am. We fit work with our neigbours too since na their
country be the den for our cars.
My people I dey pray say our Government go
tackle this palava wey don send plenty of our people to their graves. Na here I go stop, I
go dey see una tomorrow as my God don talk am.
November. 21. 2000
In-Law Palava na Wa
How una dey my
people, how life, I hope say una dey enjoy? I beg make una no vex with me, I dey too tire
yesterday. My people why be say anywhere wey you go, in-law thing na problem. I no go lie
to una plenty of the thing na women dey cause am. Before una start dey talk say na
nonsense I dey talk make una listen to me first. If una look well well, every time wey
problem happen for house, who dey behind am, na women. If couple marry for a long time,
and God never answer their prayer wey dem go born pikin, na everybody for the man side go
dey tell am say if him wife no fit born pikin make he go marry another wife. Na so you go
see the people dey talk say the woman don comot all the pikin wey God give am when she dey
young. The thing wey I no understand be say, una go expect say the women go pity the woman
since dem understand the thing wey the woman dey go through, but no be so, na dem go be
the leaders for the thing. The same thing wey dem go dey complain to their family say
their husband family dey do wey dem no like na the same thing dem go dey do to their
brother wife.
Another in-law
palava na visit own. I know say plenty of una don experience this one plenty time. Why be
say most wives no too dey like their husband family make dem come visit? Whenever husband
family say dem dey come, plenty wives go dey complain about the thing. Dem go talk say dem
no know why their husband family especially mother-in-law no fit stay her house instead
wey she go dey disturb dem? My people this na wa o, una go see some women wey be say
anytime wey their husband family dey come visit, na that time dem go tell their husband
say dem no get food make he bring money. Some of dem go even hide stew under bed so that
the people no go fit see am. These same women wey dey do that kind thing, no go happy if
their brother wife do the same thing. Una go dey hear dey talk say their brother wife no
fit separate dem and their brother. If she no want make dem come visit, make she carry her
load and pack comot their brother house. I know say plenty of una don hear wey woman go
dey talk say if their brother wife or girlfriend no want their pikin come visit, she go go
be that. Dem go talk say na their brother house even if na the man and his wife get the
thing.
The last one wey I go talk na
the men own. I know say plenty of my brothers thing say dey go escape this one. My fellow
obodians una no fit deny this one, plenty of us men, the thing wey we no fit gree for our
wife or girlfriend, but if our sister husband or boyfriend do the same thing, we go talk
say the man dey act like an old man. We go talk say the man too dey possessive and still
dey behave like bush people. And if our wife try the same thing, na so we go talk say no
be this house. My people na so in-law matter be o, anywhere wey you go na the same thing.
I even hear say na so the thing be for Obodo Oyinbo. Na here I go stop my people, I go dey
talk to una tomorrow.
November.

Make Una Tell Me Say No Be So
My people I don come again o, how una dey
do? Una don hear this one? This na big one my fellow Obodians. Na about the wahala
wey dey happen between our Executives and Lower House of National Assembly. I hear say our
President don ask Inspector General make he comot the Guards wey dey follow House Speaker
Na'Abba. Una know say our Politicians dem get Police wey dey follow dem around. Him
talk say make AD Camp and his people go back to their barracks. My people how many of una
hear the thing? Me I know believe the thing o, I told my Source say I no think say our
President go do that kind thing. As all of us know say the President no get that kind
power for our new System. If to say na during Military regime, I go say na true because
those people no dey even follow their own Decree. As una know say I no too sabi our
Constitution and Law, but I know say our Leaders no go give that power to one person. Na
everybody know say our President na General for Army before him become President, but me
think say the man don comot those sakara behaviour for body. The question wey I get be say
wetin go happen if to say na true true the man do am? As I don talk before say me I no too
sabi book but if to say na true the man do am, I go support the people wey talk say make
dem impeach am. No be say the man do anything wrong to me o, and all of una know say me I
no too support House Leader because the man himself no dey obey law. But because as I
understand am, if our President do that kind thing, na him be say the man dey abuse him
power and office. I no think say the office get that kind power over other branches.
Nigeria Police Force dey under Ministry of Justice, and as dem get am Oyinbo countries, na
so we get am for our Obodo Nigeria. We get the Executive, Judicial and Legislator. My
fellow Obodians, I know say plenty of una go dey talk say where Pa 'Mugo get this kind
information? As I don talk before, na the small pikin wey dey my area na him dey tell me
this. The boy dey go University dey study Law. Make I continue with my talk, I hear say
for the Constitution, na President be the supreme Head of the Country, but as dem talk am,
dem put the thing wey dem dey call "checks and Balances" wey mean say our
Justice dem and Crook Legislators get some power too, dem fit comot our President but the
man no fit comot our Senators dem.
As the thing be, if to say na true true
our President na him dey behind the thing, the Lower House fit comot am too; na the thing
wey dem dey call impeachment be that. Una remember last year wey dem want comot President
Clinton for America, na so our Legislators get that kind power here. As I talk before, I
no think say Uncle Sege go do that kind thing. But if to say na true, the people wey
advise am no sabi anything be that and dem no teach am well. If to say dem be lawyer, na
him be say dem be yeye lawyer wey no sabi their work. I hope say for our country sake,
this thing no be so because, this go cause katakata for our Obodo be that. As all of us
know say some people for our Obodo no too like this government since last year. My people
na the thing wey dem dey call "person put food for food for Cat mouth" be that,
because na that kind thing the Enemy of Progress go use as excuse be that. And na all of
us know say we no want Military back for Nigeria, because the problem wey we get now, na
dem cause am.
Na here I go stop, make una treat our
country well.

Follow up:
Nigeria Police No Get Respect
How una dey my fellow
Obodians, se una dey manage. Una remember yesterday say I talk about how our Police harass
Mrs Azikwe. We done hear a new one o, I hear say Mrs Stella Obasanjo our First lady talk
say the thing no happen. She talk say her Guards no do anything to the woman. My question
be say how she tay know if she dey for front? Una want tell me say na lie the old woman
dey lie? The question wey I want ask una be say which person we go belief now? Na all of
us know say our Police na expert for lie, even if you catch dem while dem dey do the
thing, dem go still tell you say no be dem you see. I know say I no dey there, but I no
think say our First Lady self dey there. She dey defend her guards because if she no talk
so, the thing go make her look bad. My fellow Nigerians, na the kind thing wey I dey talk
about our so called Leaders be that, dem too dey look other way if the injustice na from
dem, but if to say the thing na against dem, na him you go dey hear dem dey cry foul. As
our First Lady talk say the thing no happen, I guess say we no fit do anything to am since
her husband na President. But as life be, if to say na true the thing happen and the woman
lie about am, another young person go do the thing to am too. Na the thing wey my neigbour
pikin dey call Nemesis be that. You reap what you sow, I no sabi why our people too dey
lie especially our Public Officials. Una go think say since dem be leaders of our nation,
dem go get some integrity but no be so for our Obodo. The worst crime wey you go find, na
dem dey behind am. Una remember during Abacha regime wey be say people just dey disappear
if dey talk something wey Abacha no like. This Hired Killers thing me I no sabi am? Who
introduce the yeye thing to our culture self? No be our Leaders? The thing wey be say na
him dey reign for Nigeria now. Anytime wey you do business with people, if you no want pay
dem, you go send Hired killers to their house, and dem go just Yamutu your Partners for
you, as as simple as that. Na wa my people, I hope say our leaders dem go clean the mess
wey dey make before the thing destroy the country.
Na here I go stop, make una dey do jeje o.

Nigeria Police No Get Respect
How una dey my people, se
una dey manage? I no know whether una don hear the thing wey our First Lady Guards do to
Mrs Azikwe and her Driver. Sei Sei Sei, na only our obodo this kind thing fit happen.
Which kind excuse wey Police get now? I no say dem no go fit talk say the man no know
because we hear say one of the Police ask Mrs Azikwe how she go feel if to say na her
Husband dem do am to? Upon say dem sabi am, our uneducated Police still push the woman. My
people may ask una this, if dem fit do am to our First President Wife, una know say the
wife of a commoner like me done die be that. Even self, make we talk about the thing
without the kind person wey dem do am to. We all know say the woman no be young woman
since dem talk say na Late President Zik na him be her husband. Una know say that mean say
the woman na Old woman since I no remember say Zik marry woman wey still dey young. I
guess say as the country dey get worst na him be say our people no dey get respect for
their elders again. Whether the people na Police or not, the woman wey dem do am to na Old
woman, una want tell me say these Police wey harrass am no get Elders for home? Since we
know say for our cultures whether you be Hausa, Ibo, Yoruba, Itsekiri, Tiv, Fulani, Efik
or Ijaw, all of us know say you must respect your elders if you want live long for this
Life. Although my people as una know, no be say I like our Police, but he good say the
thing happen. Before una start dey jump on me make una let me explain the thing. Since Mrs
Azikwe represent people wey their family get power and when people wey dey guard dem
molest poor people like us, plenty of dey no dey say anything. Which time una hear say
Presidential guard or Police escort beat people or spoil person car for road wey the
people wey dem dey follow talk or do something about am? As we all know ourselves, anytime
wey injustice happen as long as the thing no affect us or our family we no dey talk
against am. But now as the thing happen to wife of our First President, plenty of our
paper dey carry am for news. How many people wey our Police Escort done destroy their life
or property because dem dey follow one useless Politician or Leader wey we read am for
paper? As the thing happen to one of dem, wetin our government want do about am? The
problem wey I get about the thing be say I no care who you be, our Police should treat
everybody the same. I know say that no go happen, but if the people wey dem dey escort fit
dey talk about this harassment, may be the useless Police go dey think about am twice
before dem go beat the person. I know say the Escort dey there to protect the our
Officials, but una want tell me say dem no get mouth wey dem go fit tell the woman say
make she stop make dem pass? Wetin dem want do if to say na Cows dey pass, una want tell
me say dem go kill am? Even if dem shoot am, he no mean say the cow go comot for road. To
me my people the answer for this thing be say, make our police no too dey do giragira,
wetin tell dem say the person wey dem beat today no fit become our Leader tomorrow? I know
say he no go happen to me but my people if better come my way I come become President for
our Obodo, all the Rich people wey take their money cheat me or use their yeye power on
me, na all of dem go surfer am. As for the Police man, even the man retire, I go tell dem
say make dem go arrest am, and I go make sure say he surfer for Kirikiri. My people that
one na joke, but na true I dey talk about say our Police must respect everybody right, no
person get two heads for our Obodo.
Na here I go stop my people, make una dey
do jeje o.

Wetin This World Dey Turn To?
How una dey my people, se
una dey follow Politics wey dey go on for America. I know say plenty of us wey dey for
Nigeria, we no too care about the thing since he no go put food for our table or find work
for our Pikin wey dey look for work. I done hear another one my people, na my Source for
Kano nak me this tory. He talk am say plenty Landlords for Kano done dey tell Women wey
dey live for their house make dem comot as the day wey the Government for Kano go start
Sharia done dey near. I hear say plenty of the Girls wey dey go Unversity for place no fit
find place live. My people which kind nonsense be this wey person no fit live where she
like because he no get husband. When the man first tell me I think say he dey joke. Na
when I read am for paper na him I no say na true true the thing dey happen o. Osanobua,
Olorun o, Chineke, Allah, I no sabi say this kind thing go dey happen for our Obodo. Una
want tell me say na by force person go marry? Wetin happen to small pikin wey dey go
University, una want tell me say if dey want continue with their education make dem first
go marry if not, Kano Government go drive dem comot? My people I no know the thing wey our
yeye National Assembly dey do wey this kind thing dey happen for our Obodo? If to say na
money you put for ground now, you go see |
