THE SECOND WIFE... By Dr. Ken Wariso

You will never appreciate the useful of your first wife to you until you marry a second wife. The grass is NEVER greener across the lawn.

God thank you very MUCH for allowing "US" to choose PMB as our president.
For us, the second wife is far better than the first wife. The statistics are very clear.
While GEJ surrounded himself with economic novices and corrupt personalities, PMB detests corruption and surrounded himself with economic wizards.
While GEJ depreciated our naira, there is significant appreciation of the naira. In fact, we are gradually marching to 1 naira to 1 dollar. The pound, you are next.
While GEJ was busy drinking kai kai (Tinubu)for 5 years with nothing to show for it, PMB has within on year strengthened the economy to the point that pilgrimage for 2016 is subsidised in Bauchi state.

In fact , PMB, despite not having a magic wand has made petroleum products available every where in the country. It is now selling at #40 / litre ( prof David West), we are marching to the altimate goal of #1/litre.
Based on the above few facts, there is every reason to say to God, thank you!
For? Allowing us to marry a second wife to compare with the first wife.
After all, if the first wife went away with her children, did she stop you from having your own second wife.

If the first wife went away with all the kitchen utensils, does that warrant your total reliance on fast foot joints? If you knew that you are a bad cook, why didn't you allow me make an informed decision by telling me before the marriage. Why is it that you no longer know where the salt and pepper containers are in the kitchen while when you were my babe, you promised me a five star hotel experience.
Should I get a third wife or at least apologise to my first wife?
What do you think? Imagine her telling me that my ex took all the pots away and her promises before marriage remain promises! Call it promise and fail, Ba magana!

The Sphere

Photograph by Elena Saavedra Buckley. Once when I was about twelve I was walking down the dead-end road in Albuquerque where I grew up, around twilight with a friend. Far beyond the end of the road was a mountain range, and at that time of evening it flattened into a matte indigo wash, like a mural. While kicking down the asphalt we saw a small bright light appear at the top of the peaks, near where we knew radio towers to occasionally emit flashes of red. But this glare, blinding and colorless, grew at an alarming rate. It looked like a single floodlight and then a tight swarm beginning to leak over the edge of the summit. My friend and I became frightened, and as the light poured from the crest, our murmurs turned into screams. We stood there, clutching our heads, screaming. I knew this was the thing that was going to come and get me. It was finally going to show me the horrifying wiring that lay just behind the visible universe and that was inside of me too. And then, a couple se...

DEMOCRACY DAY SPEECH BY PMB; MAY 29 2016

www.naijaloaded.com My compatriots, It is one year today since our administration came into office. It has been a year of triumph, consolidation, pains and achievements. By age, instinct and experience, my preference is to look forward, to prepare for the challenges that lie ahead and rededicate the administration to the task of fixing Nigeria. But I believe we can also learn from the obstacles we have overcome and the progress we made thus far, to help strengthen the plans that we have in place to put Nigeria back on the path of progress. We affirm our belief in democracy as the form of government that best assures the active participation and actual benefit of the people. Despite the many years of hardship and disappointment the people of this nation have proved inherently good, industrious tolerant, patient and generous. The past years have witnessed huge flows of oil revenues. From 2010 average oil prices were $100 per barrel. But economic and security co...

The Private Life: On James Baldwin

JAMES BALDWIN IN HYDE PARK, LONDON. PHOTOGRAPH BY ALLAN WARREN. Via Wikimedia Commons , licensed under CC BY-SA 3.0 . In his review of James Baldwin’s third novel, Another Country , Lionel Trilling asked: “How, in the extravagant publicness in which Mr. Baldwin lives, is he to find the inwardness which we take to be the condition of truth in the writer?” But Baldwin’s sense of inwardness had been nourished as much as it had been damaged by the excitement and danger that came from what was public and urgent. Go Tell It on the Mountain and Giovanni’s Room dramatized the conflict between a longing for a private life, even a spiritual life, and the ways in which history and politics intrude most insidiously into the very rooms we try hardest to shut them out of. Baldwin had, early in his career, elements of what T. S. Eliot attributed to Henry James, “a mind so fine that it could not be penetrated by an idea.” The rest of the time, however, he did not have this luxury, as pub...
