SENATE, UNA TRY!

 So the Nigerian Senate yesterday, approved the Anti-gay marriage Bill amidst so much pressure to do otherwise. If you ask me, this is about the best news to have come out from the Upper Chambers of the National Assembly since this new administration. What with all the lame and annoying Bills we've been hearing about in the past few weeks! First was the proposed Bill to legalise prostitution sponsored by that.....(I don't even want to know what his name is and from what constituency he's from); and then the audacious demonstration staged by the gays and lesbians to the National Assembly to press home their demand to legalise homosexuality and lesbianism? Brrrrrrrrrrr! I have goose pimples all over my body!

What is the African Society turning to? In years past, one could not even talk about having had sex outside of marriage for fear of being punished publicly or even killed. A lady could not boast about having visited her suitor talk less of sleeping over at his place before marriage...(well a lot of that has changed now), and for good reasons too...which I support! But homosexuality? Lesbianism?

One very annoying thing about all this is that Britain kon dey treaten us again!!! Dem dey yarn rubbish because say dem dey support us wit some kain tashiri pepper!!! Dem don colonise our land, our brain, our leaders, our government...now dem wan colonise our sexual orientation!!! Dem wan colonise the kain people wey we fit straff!!! I DEY VEX!!! If I was a member of the Senate, I would go into the Chambers with a T-shirt that bears the inscription: "F**K YOU AND YOUR AID!" Ahn ahn! E don too mush!!!

We cannot allow these so-called and self acclaimed super powers dictate everything to us! We have everything it takes to live independently of their Aid; but it is a pity that we have not yet fully tapped into our potentials. I hail the Senate for this bold step and I hope that they will have the guts to take more radical decisions for the overall welfare of the Nigerian people.

EL-RUFAI LOSES DAUGHTER :(

I was so heartbroken when I heard and read of the death of the eldest daughter of  former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai. It is always devastating to lose a relative however distant, not to mention a beloved first daughter; and one as pretty as she was and who in a very short period was able to achieve academic records as she did. At the tender age of 25 she had already bagged two degrees; one in Economics and the other in Law. And then she had even a Masters degree from the very prestigious London School of Economics. Oh boy! At the age of 25 I was still a 200 level student of the Faculty of Law in the prestigious University of Ibadan. See what the combination of money and brains can do?

I commiserate with the former Minister and even though I didn't know her before her death, I am deeply heartbroken! Don't you see how pretty she was? Damn! This is somebody who, by some very rare chance, could have been my wife. But as we always say, God knows best. May her gentle soul rest in the bosom of the Lord and may god grant Mallam El-Rufai the fortitude to bear this great loss!
