FOCUS ON YOUR MELONS!

Something happened recently and it seemed like something out of a Hollywood movie. 


I was driving down a busy intersection in Abuja and this pretty lady standing beside a parked vehicle caught my attention. 



Her beauty wasn't the attraction but her outfit sort of made me curious and I had to stare to be sure it was what I was thinking. 


She wore what looked like a formal skirt and a covered shoe but only had a sleeveless vest on. She didn't wear a bra and I know this because her breasts were struggling to remain intact within the thin-layered men's vest. Almost a see-through material. 


By the time I noticed that I wasn't the only one staring at this Nature's gift to mankind, I remembered my Christian upbringing and decided to focus on my journey and the desire to make heaven. 


As I was about to look away, she raised her top and revealed the overripe melons beneath them. Perhaps she did so because almost all the men on foot and inside passing vehicles stared at her like kids drooling at an ice cream machine. 


To the glory of God, I was the only driver who noticed that the traffic light ahead had turned red. I slammed on the brakes but it was already too late. 


I kissed the vehicle in front and left my lipstick on the bumper, but it was the Alhaji behind me who allowed himself to be hypnotized by the street show - that nearly sent me to meet my maker. What could I have told God killed me?


Well, about seven cars rammed into each other and in the chaos, two ladies rushed out from a nearby shop, pulled the lady's shirt down and forced her into the vehicle she had leaned against.


It was at that moment that it dawned on everyone that some nuts on the lady's head had come loose. 


All the rich, intelligent, handsome, married, and powerful men got derailed by a half-naked mad woman. 


The Alhaji behind me had in the front seat of his car, his pregnant wife who was visibly insulting him in Fulani language and slamming her fist on the dashboard. With his legal melons beside him, he still froze before the temptress. 


I had to keep driving since the driver, whose car I kissed, didn't even stop for a fight. But I left behind me, a carnage that could have been avoided if we all focused on what was before us.


There are thousands of distractions on every road we choose to ride but our ability to stay glued to the goal sets us apart from those I left behind me in the crash.


 Someone might have been running late for an important appointment but decided to take their eyes off the road for just a second, and that was it. 


Others may have gotten really close to their destination but ended up not reaching it because they fell to the little distractions along the way. 


By the time I got to the office and was asked what happened to the car, I told them a drunkard bashed it at a red light. 


I am worried about Alhaji and his safety. The look on the wife's face told me he was going to be doing chores in the house for the next one year. 


I pray she doesn't deprive him of his legal rights to enjoy the melons he had procured and left in her custody. 


Thank God, I only looked once and passed. 🙄


Stay Focused!!!

WHAT IS LOVE? (3)

I once met a girl who seemed to understand me. She wasn't really pretty like that, but damn! She was smart. And there I was, suffering from a chronic sapiosexuality disorder, like a fly on honey, I easily got glued to her personality.  We could talk about everything, and laugh at the dumbest things. There were nights we didn't sleep at all, either chatting on BBM or talking on the phone till dawn. Either way, there was a strong connection.  We talked about the ideal relationship and what made it so.  We talked about the sacrifices, the struggles, the hurt, and the strong desire to make it work regardless.  We sorta knew why most relationships failed; LACK OF COMMUNICATION AND UNDERSTANDING.  The respect was on another level, we no dey miss each other's call o. Even if we did, the call-back was in a matter of seconds. Whenever I ran out of airtime in the middle of a call, I got an automatic top-up from her account. And I also did the same, when my poverty is on a...

WHAT IS LOVE? (4)

When I joined active politics in 1999, my eyes opened to the three kinds of love that exist in politics... Genuine Love. Fake Love. Misguided Love.  All three are needed in the life of a real politician. You need those who do not love you because of what you give them, those whose love is for sale, and those who only love you because your face looks good on your campaign posters.  The first Group can be harsh in telling you the truth. Some of them will openly tell you not to waste your money, you will not win. But they will never leave your side no matter what, and they will never keep quiet either. The second Group will tell you all the sweet things you want to hear about your campaign, how the other political camps are scared of you, and may be planning to kill you. If this information does not attract any money from you, they will sell same to the other camp about you. They know you're not the one, but they won't dare tell you. Because the benefit of the lies outweighs the ...

"This is your time, sir. Your hour of glory has come, and we must utilize every aspect of this misfortune to grow your fortune." Chief of Staff to the President whispered into his ears as they walked towards the Exco chamber, where all the 36 State governors and Federal Ministers waited for a very important meeting.  #Sule, was a controversial political science lecture at the Federal University Kashere, in Gombe State. His extreme political views against the last administration led to his sacking by the same government he victimized, his publications on social media and the print media played a vital role in the failed reelection bid of former President Ginlok Johnny. Because his followers believed he spoke the truth to authority without fear. They blindly endorsed his candidate of choice in the following presidential election without thinking twice.  His appointment as CoS to President #Mamman Bukar did not come as a surprise to the followers of political happenings in the c...
