Occupy London: Protesters Take Over Roman House
Occupy London Stock Exchange movement has occupied Roman House which is an empty nine-storey building in the Barbican area of London that reportedly belongs to the Swiss Bank UBS. Occupy London says it has ‘publicly repossessed’ the building.
The protesters gained access to the building a few days after they lost an eviction case. The anti-capitalist protesters are not ready to move out of the building unless the City of London Corporation publish its full cash accounts.

Mr & Mrs: A ‘Deadly’ Conversation
Mr: What are you frowning for?
Mrs: Why I no go frown. Must you wear a bulletproof vest to bed? I won’t let you touch me with that on.
Mr: So you want terrorists to kill me off. The latest bombing took place in Kano. The Daily Mail says 143 people died in the blasts.
Mrs: God forbid but can bulletproof protect you from a bomb blast? Did they tell you to wear it to bed? If so, where is my own? This man is selfish o.
Mr: The only time I don’t wear it is when I’m in the shower. We need a bulletproof shower since we have bulletproof cars.
Mrs: The masses are grumbling about us using 9 presidential jets. They will say we are wasting money again. They don’t know how you risk your life to govern them. As the No 1 lady, I need bulletproof shoes, bags and hats plus sunglasses. I don’t care what any bagger says.
Mr: I don’t think many accessories are available in bulletproof.
Mrs: We have to thank God in church tomorrow because the troublesome unions called off the strike and settled for N97 per litre instead of N65.
Mr: My dear, every Naija person has a price. We have bribed the trade union leader with a part time job. None of them left without being compensated. Have you heard them grumble since then although some demonstrators were felled by police and army bullets?
Mrs: Grumble for where? Why don’t you invite Teenubu and his wife to the villa for a weekend?
Mr: What for? Pindypee ‘backbenchers’ would not like that since the Teenubus are members of the opposition party.
Mrs: Teenubu can teach you how to sleep with an eye open since you snore like a hippopotamus. His wife can teach me how to become a senator.
Mr: So in 2015 na senator you dey plan for, you this woman. Haba!
Mrs: I dey plan for my future now. Supposing I become a widow by 2015, I would have to work and look after the childrens.
Mr: You have already predicted my death. Na wa o! So, all you want to do in the senate is to move motions on children with childrens grammar. Ha ha ha…
Mrs: Stop laughing! Look, face reality. The terrorists have sent you a video message. Only a fool would hear his death sentence and sleep without an eye open.
Mr: The message is not only for me o. That pastor and infidels are included.
Mrs: That pastor go land you in more trouble. He told defenceless Christians to stay and fight terrorists when they should have fled for safety. After all, you and the security forces could not protect them. I beg! I no want more trouble o. The next time he dey come to the villa, tell am say I don travel. Na my bedroom I go-go hide.
Mr: The pastor supported us on fuel subsidy removal so I cannot get rid of him. He cares more for my political cabinet than the Christians in this country. Yet, they could not sack him as the president of their association.
Mrs: No wonder he told Christians to stay in the north and die in cold blood. The church owners did not want to lose church money if their brainwashed congregation moved away. That is how greedy some pastors are. I can understand the plight of Christians that had nowhere to go but what of those who could have escaped some previous blasts? The terrorists even gave them a few days to runaway. As they say, he who fights and runs away, lives to fight another day.
Mr: That is a wise adage.
Mrs: I beg! Remove your bulletproof vest. I want to sleep.
Mr: You’re lucky I don’t have bulletproof briefs.
Mrs: Ha ha ha!
