Absolutely nothing.
Maybe,just maybe,if I see a flying goat driving a truck with blindfolds on the streets of Lagos.Then I might be surprised.
But only with blindfolds oh!
Anything less?
Nah!
Not surprising enough.

| You gotta do better lad! |
When the newspapers splashed the news about the Bayelsa State Government led by the Excellent Seriake Dickson;if you're gonna refer to a man as Your Excellency,you might as well call him excellent,right?;had made Madam First Lady a permanent secretary in its civil service,I took it with the proverbial pinch of salt.(I've been taking so many pinches in Nigeria of late that Dangote must be making a killing!)
I just turned the page and moved on to the frankly,rather more amusing advertisement on 'Are you a man?Can you conquer your wife in 4 rounds in a night?

| Hmmmmmmmm! |
Not even the outrage expressed by well meaning Nigerians over the Governor's decision stoked my interest.
For me,it was business as usual in the land of the mad!
But the madness took a different and honestly frightening turn when the aides and advisers to the Excellent Seriake Dickson were hell bent on justifying his action with some ludicrous statements on how her equally Excellent Madam First Lady was deserving of such title.
First of,this MADNESS HAS GOT TO STOP!
We honestly don't know if its her constitutional and hence legal right to be so honoured, and we frankly don't care.
It just does not sound right and it sure as hell ain't.
What has kept Nigeria ticking in the eyes of the outside world is their belief that some of the craziness that our leaders exhibit might just be a uniquely Nigerian way of doing things.
But this,my dear Ijaw people,is just plain 'tie him down with a chain' 'whip him till his senses return' madness!
And we don't want that now,do we?
