Nobody uses big words like the nigerian.It definitely is the curse of the nation.The hoi-polloi of our great commonwealth believe thyat spewing forth sentences filled with haute-sounding words passes them off as erudite.The use of less pretentious words actually facilitates the conveyance of any message witouth your audience needing a lexicon to decipher your ramblings.
I for one would never be caught dead usingunnecessarily supercilious words,or would I?

hokum!
i have the most amazing thing for the big screen;tom cruise,russel crowe,julia roberts,arnord shwarze-cant spell his name;the point is,i love movies.so,it really grinds my nuts when i see a bunch of semi-illeterate(they are mostly not smart enough to be illeterate)goons passing off as movie stars in the Nigerian firmament.
Dont get me wrong,i think there is a sky full of genuine ,top class movie makers and actors,i just think we have far too many lame stories.
I wont try to profer solutions,cos i honestly dont have any but i think first things first,the new generation of actors are simply not good looking(enough).we all know they can barely speak talk more of act.
But then who am i to preach.My only claim to acting experience was acting "daddy" with a bunch of other five year olds,and yes,hokum is an english word.

Sodom
A generation of amoral,decadent and anti-idealistic youth are about to be unleashed on Nigeria and we all would be alive to reap the fruits of decades of neglect of the intellectual and moral education of our youths.
Help!
Help!

poverty's bad but wars are worse
40 years ago Nigeria slid into anarchy,violence and murder.A blood feast has never seen,a killing orgy has never witnessed.the aim of this short narrative is not to point fingers or to even ask about the causes of such evil minded callousness but to ask if what lessons,if any have been learnt and if does lessons are being put into valuable use.
As the nation slides into anarchy once again in the niger delta(known cutely as the deep south),hope we would all avoid the mistakes of the past.

we all like sex
Well,before your mind wanders and you think i am about to give you an expose on mind bending,toe curling,brain frying coitus,think again.I am actually referring to sex as in gender.
Though wea all like to pretend that it does not matter,i have personally seen many a fathers go ballistic when there spouses give birth to a bouncing baby maradona,and yes,they try to seem excited when their bundle of girlie goodness arrives but the difference is most times unmistakable.
Even in work places,there seems to be an aversion to employing women to certain positions,you might say things seem to be better now but honestly speaking a few isolated cases in a million is not exactly canaan.
Last word is,be it a maradona or a madonna,they all come good in the end.
