POP THEM πŸ˜€

Image
The story behind it is an interesting one though. How many of you know what this is called? Most of you will say bubble wrap. Some will call it stress relief. But if you asked the two engineers who invented it in 1957, they would have told you: "It’s a failure." Alfred and Marc didn't set out to protect your fragile electronic packages. Far from that. They wanted to be interior designers. They had this brilliant idea to create 3D Wallpaper. They thought the world was tired of flat, boring walls. So, they glued two shower curtains together, trapped some air in the middle, and told the world, "Look! We've invented trendy walls!" The world looked, and then the world walked away. Nobody wanted to live in a house that looked like the inside of a swimming pool. Lol.  They were stuck with miles of poppable plastic that nobody wanted. They tried to use it to insulate greenhouses. It failed. They tried to sell it as a curtain. It failed again. They were o...

BLESSED ARE THE SHAMELESS

Image
Blessed Are the Shameless A 21 year old American streamer enters Lagos surrounded by bodyguards and cameras, and very quickly the outstretched hands begin to appear. Not hands waving hello. Hands asking. Hands reaching. Hands, demanding. The crowd is loud. Some of them were laughing, some of them jeering, many asking for cash, for streaming. It is easy, from a distance, to call this embarrassing. To say Nigerians beg too much. To say the country has forgotten pride. Lagos, up close, teaches you the rules with your body. Heat on the back of your neck. Generator coughs behind walls. A road that is five roads at once. A queue is a suggestion. A policeman’s stare is a question you are expected to answer with money. The public square is not neutral. It is an instructor, and its syllabus is survival. In a place where institutions do not protect you, where procedure does not rescue you, where waiting your turn is a reliable method of being ignored, shame becomes a rule you keep for yourself w...

KEEP GANGSTA πŸ˜‚

Teachers make good wives/husbands.  It's in the constitution.  Nurses/Doctors sitaongea mengi.  Most Business women (Successful ones) are unmarried.  Don't try to marry them, son. Wekea mkewe biashara. Ukiona inashika sana anaenda kuomoka, tuma wezi na uuwe mmoja wao. Ibeni lakini mbakishe kidogo. Mpe pesa ya stock tena. Repeat. Sitawafunza kila kitu, cabrons..!

MISSING YOU

Image
If you go missing for seven years without anyone hearing from you, the law presumes that you are dead. A court may then declare you dead, and the date of that declaration becomes the official date of death that appears on your death certificate. This means your relatives are legally allowed to inherit your land and property—while we, your neighbours, go ahead and distribute your women among ourselves. If you suddenly re-emerge in the eighth year as a “returning officer,” you have no legal right to reclaim what was previously yours. The lesson, therefore, is simple. Anyone who chooses to 'enter grass' must always return within six years to beat this law. If necessary, you may then disappear again and again. This is one of those pieces of humour that somehow found its way into the law books (the Evidence Act). I also remember a similar touch of humour in the 2010 Constitution. Article 14 on citizenship states that if a child is found anywhere in Kenya, appears to be eight years ...

KEEP IT COOL

Image
The dating market in Togo The new rule of the capitalistic dating market is "take options". This rule says ‘save people you wish to date and be patient until they ran out of options or reach some dead ends and start going back through their past pretenders address book.’ In Togo, nowadays people delay engagement or relationships, preferring flix and chill, casuals, trying partners from all races and tribes, and would only start looking for a partner when tired of adventure, ran out options, or when a pregnancy would occur. ‘Save me until I’d ran out of option’ is the new motto. Patience is the new best courtisan skill. ‘I have not fucked around enough to settle. Look how many people I could afford to bed, why would I choose any now’. As sex became abundant and trust evaporated, people enter relationships very cynically, almost resentful of the social obligation of being in couple which is depriving them of the freedom of living as they wish. People would start a couple out of...
