Chained!..............hopefully.

A bus was bombed in Kano.
Sending people from the thrill of seeing long missed loved ones to the pearly gates in an instant!
Chinua Achebe died in  the United States same week.
Leaving behind a legacy that would be hard to equal let alone surpass by any writer of this generation or indeed the future.
But more importantly....................plant me,water me silly and watch me grow........but did Tuface Idibia just get married????!!!!
The 'Enter the place and see if you no go carry belle'(I've always preferred the full name of the song personally) crooner finally tied the knot with his lon g suffering and long waiting partner Annie Somebody-Whats her name.
The girl try sha!

After ten(10) known children outside wedlock(forgive me if I exaggerate a little,but 6 and 10,what's the difference really?)
Sorry?
Can you speak up a bit?
He doesn't have 6 children either?..............................I'm thinking if you're not gonna let me enjoy writing this post,you can run along and do something silly like campaign for Jonathan for 2015!
As I was saying,the not so Innocent Idibia finally bit the bullet and said the iconic I do.
And in faraway Dubai no less!
The creme de la creme of the society was there.
Maybe not the society but at least the Nigerian entertainment industry!
Musicians,actors,important and not so important politicians,religious religious leaders and not so religious religious leaders.
Even well known Lagos prostitutes a.k.a socialites were there in full force.If three-quarters of their clientele were gonna be in the Middle East for the weekend,it only made sense for them to hop a plane,right?
Glitz,glamour,extravagance and a touch of elegance here and now.
It was no less than Tuface deserved.
Annie by the way............................................I'm not really sure what she does.
I hear she was once a model or actress or singer or something.
I probably know as much about her as I know what goes through the head of a Nigerian policeman before shooting dead a commercial bus driver for not giving a 20naira bribe.
And they had some interesting wedding gifts!
Rumour has it that the governor of one of the oil-rich southern states was said to have decided,
after he had provided water,shelter,health care,security,good education and electricity to the people of his state and the people were satisfied to bursting point,to use the excess to purchase two brand new top of the range SUV's to the beautiful couple.
Now,if that isn't God's will,I don't know what is!
There's also the case of a mysterious Chevy Corvette that was supposedly given to the couple by the Senate leader,which he has since denied.
Mark my word(no pun intended),we shall get to the bottom of the story!
I really don't care about Tuface's philandering past or all his beautiful children.
All ten of them*straight face*!
All I know is that arguably the greatest African artiste of the last 15 years just got married and I congratulate him.
He and Annie-Somebody-whats her name!
You can take the bachelor out of a nigger but you cant take the nigger out of a nigger.


P.S:of course,the bombing and Achebe's death were more important.But this is Nigeria,we'll just keep pretending like these things did not happen,okay?

Brilliant piece... With the way you're going, you just might bring a fresh perspective to writing and who knows - become the next best thing in the literary world. Or at best, attract 'Gods will'.
