#SaveMayowa Burial Funds

Just two days ago I saw the picture of a young woman who would be in her twenties or so If I am not mistaking, she looked very sick and there is a message out their for people to donate for her treatment.
So I was trying to know what kind of sickness that could make one look so frailed but every message is just saying #savemayowa. It was later I saw one that says she has ovarian cancer.
Well just this afternoon a new post has surfaced from Linda Ikeji's Blog that it was a scam, the family knew she would die and they went ahead to raise money from good loving people.

Me on the other hand I just think that it's not as we see it, agreed the family knew she would die but the money was not for her treatment but burial or some sort.
Heard they raised about thirty million or so, the thing here is that burials are very expensive in Nigeria, it is more like a farewell party these days, so giving their beloved daughter a befitting burial is not such a bad idea after all and we should be grateful we contributed to that.

Now the only issue is that Nigerians as I know us won't comply to anymore donation to save a life, we can't let people scam us twice and if this is not looked into it will become a new hustle trust nigerians na..

Well let me just go and finish my bole and fish before it cold, since I don't have any other meaningful thing to do

Beggars With Rights

As we alighted from the taxi, we stood and waited for the driver to give us our change. Just a few minutes walk from the taxi we saw this old freckled looking man who would walk up to anyone asking for help.
He was in a pitiable position, so we thought of helping out (well my friend actually did). We've gone past him already so we went back to ask what he actually wanted, thinking he was looking for transport fare but to our surprise he brought out an asthmatic inhaler and showed us that he needed money to buy one.
Then I remembered having similar incident where a man came to me with the same asthma issue and I parted with a thousand naira hoping I was helping him.

This is just another cheap scam though, because immediately we said we didn't have money for inhaler he started cursing out, telling us how his god is bigger than us and all other crap.
I thought to myself if he has a family, will he be out there looking for who to buy him inhaler at the dead of the night or is this just a way he gets his daily bread, the city is filled with people like this who comes up with different stories just to extort money from people, either they went to visit a brother who is not around or their wife just delivered a set of twins and they needed money to pay the hospital bill or a very special case of a young man who is always going to uniport and needed transport fare.

The point is these beggars in a way have rights, they will tell what they want and the amount of money they hope to get from you.
You can't freely give anymore cause you don't know who is telling the truth about their situation anymore.
Just as we walked out on him I saw him going to another person for his inhaler money and it's past 10.00 pm already just wondering if he would meet his target that night

America's Newd First Lady

Being the nerd that I am, I think social media has taken away my social life. But who cares about me when there are more pressing issues going on in the world right now..

Let's take America for example (not the continent but the country... don't know why we even call them that) they have a lot of history to be made in the forth coming election. If Hillary Clinton emerges winner she'll be the first woman to become president in America and if Donald Trump wins then his wife becomes the first woman to be a first lady with her nudes out their in the world (that's some record too you know?).
Well that not being the only thing she has going for her right now...
The Internet was trolling her for the recent speech made, which by the way was a brilliant one if it wasn't known to the world to be an excerpt of Michelle Obama's speech but she is a Trump na, they can say what they like whether it's somebody's speech or not it's not their business.
I wouldn't blame Melania Trump though, I mean if Michelle gave all black women hope that they too can be a first lady despite their skin color I think Melania just proved that Kim khadasian, amber rose, blac chyna and any other stripper out there can rise to the position of a first lady just get married to the right man, with an ambition and be able to read other people's speeches it's that simple..

Well enough of all these talk about Melania, I think if Patience Jonathan was busy stealing other people's speech we won't have had all the comedy she gave us.

I think I should just shut up already.. please anyone with useful information about the Remi Tinubu vs Dino Melaye fight, I lost track on who was leading with the women protest

Nigeria; a Comedy of Errors

Been a while I wrote anything meaningful, but to take a good look at all that's happened so far and be sane in this country then you must be really tough minded...
I mean our president going deaf and abandoning all the medical centres in Nigeria to go to London for treatment, we could have blamed it on incompetence on the part of medical practitioners who won't mind going on strike while there is a drip running in your system or rather the fact that he himself have a fetish for international flight...
I mean the man is so patriotic that he dodged two visits one to Lagos and another to Port Harcourt, but he was well enough to fly out of the country.. issoright

We cannot down look the job of the anti-graft agency too who has been helpful in curbing corruption even though the lot of nigerians have been complaining that it's one sided (Ok not all, mostly PDP)... but still though there is one governor who do thinks the EFCC is too corrupt to fight corruption after he was indicted and he himself decides to drag the first lady into the fight...

We know mama peace was quite a character but you see Aunty Aisha could not hold it back when Fayose called her out... and like everybody who has been giving us something to trend on Twitter she took to her twitter handle and called Fayose a MAD DOG...
Well we were made to believe that the account was hacked and had been rectified in less than 24 hours but it didn't change the Fact that Fayose is still a mad dog...
And our first lady have joined Davido and his colleagues in registering her name on the list of twitter ranters (whatever that means)

I should go on but you see me I don't like trouble before Lai Muhammed will come and add the one I did not talk like the fresh tomato case that was caused by boko haram (actually in lai's statement)
So to avoid trouble lemme just put my full stop now.
