The coming onto the scene of Tony Ross and Dr. Pat might yet provide the much needed elixir, and put the likes of Eedris and Ruggedman on their toes, for a better time in year 2009.

TAFIDA @ 68
I was reeling with laughter as I watched Dr D. S. Tafida (Nigeria High Commissioner to the UK) celebrate his 68th birthday on BEN TV (SKY Channel 184) a few days ago. The event actually that took place over a month ago. As I once said, he has a very good sense of humour and not many diplomats can make you laugh. In fact, I don’t know who is funnier between Tafida and veteran comedian Ali Baba. Maybe Ali Baba and Tafida should mount the stage one day. I laughed and almost fell off the sofa. I would not want to disclose all that was said at the party because some Aso Rockers ‘will’ be green with envy. Nobody called Baba 68 Baba Go Slow… Someone said may he be able to serve as a President. Tafida said the surprise party was a conspiracy and fished out his suspects. When Tafida’s tenure is up a lot of people will weep at his departure… I sincerely wish His Excellency more happy years on earth. Someone said after the tenure of most diplomats you would not wish to see them again and people laughed… Tafida is a physician, former federal minister and senator. *What made me laugh most was the real upside down joke. Who actually put the ‘head-of-state’ upside down?

Year of the Goose
As they say, what is good is for the goose is good for the gander. This should be the year of the geese and not only the goose. If I were a good luck goose, I would call Mr. Ruler; show him some facts and say: During the khaki era a new city was developed with monies from another region. The biggest mistake was that it was not made a tourist attraction. Billions would have been made from such a tourist city. During the tenure of the Alagbada they did not care for their people. A lot of politicians from that region were only interested in ‘blowing’ grammar and ‘attacking’ each other. In fact, na dem problem bi dat. If you go to states that former northern leaders are from, you are unlikely to see roads with 'pot holes'. Now that I am No. 2, I want to help my own people. My state of origin must have roads like northern roads and I do not care if anybody sets the Effective Frightening Catchers Council (EFCC) on me.
I also want to help the IG… made boys because they are as talented as Chinese and Japanese manufacturers. We should be manufacturing cars by now. I want us to move from the third world to second world and eventually meet up with the rest of the world. On the issue of power failure, I don’t know about you but I want to contact a genius called Philip Emeagwali for advice. I will not rule out a former Governor of Amala city because he is another egghead. They are both mathematicians and engineers. The conglomerates we want to set up cannot function well without constant electricity. Last but not the least, can you tell me why the cattle ranch 'creator' was not selected as the minister of tourism on merit? Kenya and Barbados rely on tourism. If people must be recycled then some should not be sacred cows because what is good is for the goose is good for the gander. *If I am frustrated, humiliated or ‘ribadued’ then I may have to consult the latest renowned Soviet Professor in order to cut the national 'cake' otherwise it could be hotter than fire.
