During the week,I had the privilege of travelling alongside Umaru Musa Ya'radua's personal physician,or so i thought.The man confidently told me and all those who cared to listen,that our president was suffering from a rare heart condition,when I and 139,999,998 other uninformed Nigerians were busy coming up with various illnesses like kidney failure,liver failure,spleen failure,infact,all sort of failures.
So,you can imagine my shock and bewilderment when the man later told me he was an estate agent based in Akwa Ibom.How Mr estate agent got to know Oga Ya'radua's private medical history remains a mystery to me.
It's always a joy to witness we ''common'' Nigerians discuss the happenings on the corridors of power,''Ya'radua then phoned Goodluck to tell him not to award the contract.Ahn Ahn!You mean you did not know!''.The intellectual part of me wants to ask how he was priviledged to listen-in to the president's phone call but the true naija part of me,that part that loves a good story whether it's true or not,urges him on.
And mind you,it is that naija part of me that has served me best over the years!
P.S:the last population census conducted in Nigeria reports a rise to 170million;140million people and 30million power generating sets!
