The Kardashian sighting,the Patience resurrection and the city on water!

It's been an eventful last 10-12 days in Nigeria. So much happening. And the subhuman heat attempting to deep fry our brains in its pot skull hasn't really helped either.
 First was the sighting of an Unidentified Flitting Object somewhere in Lagos.
 Some claim that the reality star Kim Kardashian was in Lagos this past weekend,while my friend Ade,who was actually at the event, swears by all things dear to him  that he can't be too sure.
Ade,who by the way is an unashamedly die-hard fan of Miss Kardashian,had saved up the little left from his salary after  spending a large chunk of it on fueling his generator,to have a close up view of his hero or heroine or whatever!
You should have seen Ade on the day!
All decked out in his cheap ass tuxedo,cologne choking the air like a Rihanna blunt.Looking for all the world like a poor man's Diddy.
Off course,just before the show began,the excitement became unbearable for my man,nature called and he just had to go to the loo.
It was the fastest piss ever taken by man.
Fact!
Half of it was actually done on his trouser,all in the hope of not missing a single minute of the action.
It's a bird...its a plane....or shit,its just Kim Kardashian!

If only the poor sod had known that Kim had no plan to spend a whole minute on stage.
Aahhhhh!
The folly of it all!
Anyways,that has got to go down as the easiest $500,000 ever made.........well.........aside from certain Police Pension Fund bosses.
Somebody test that girl for some Igbo genes!
As for Darey,who am I to criticise a man for spending his money in whatever way he sees fit.
In fact I did a similar thing just the other day.
Flushed down a ten(10) naira note just to see if it would.
That's the thing about we big boys,we just loves to do big thingz.(and at times really stupid,daft,unexplainable and downright foolish things#Darey).
Just as the buzz was settling,news filtered in that our Dear First Lady had just hosted a  lavish thanksgiving service at the State House.
Word had it that she narrowly escaped from the clutches of death at a foreign hospital.
In fact,the actual word being bandied around was a Resurrection!
Did I just hear someone gasp in shock and sheer trepidation for her well being?
Nah......that was just gas settling in my tummy!
The never invited but always present Sahara Reporters claim that about 500 million naira was spent on the Resurrection shebang(thats just a fancy word for a situation or matter.Ain't nobody bang no body)
I doubt if Lazarus' resurrection party nearly cost as much!
Can I just stay in Jesus?I hear post-resurrection parties cost a few these days!

Of course the usual crowd was present;politicians,businessmen,professional ass lickers and psychophants.Anybody who is anybody in this political 'grab yours I grab mine' we call democracy,was there to duly pledge loyalty.
We on the flipoutcorner are glad and relieved that our Dear First Lady is in good and joyous health.
Who are we to begrudge her a little thanksgiving.
As they say,Nigeria's money belongs to all of us!
Finally,the Eko Atlantic City was launched about 5days ago or so.
Dubbed as the next great African City.
The Atlantic Dubai.
I have never really understood these models!Do I get to sue if the trees are not the exact same number in the model#Just asking.

A true testament to what Africans can achieve if we really want to.
But it can also end up as a stark reminder to the great divide between the rich and the poor in Lagos.
As the Lagos government focuses on the completion of this great project,I will ask for them to spare a thought for those of us who still grapple with bad roads,no electricty,poor transportation services,poor hospital and crime in the present Eko Slum City!
