Enjoyment

What exactly is the meaning of enjoyment? Last night, The Beaver asked me to come along as he wanted to drop off a visitor - with Lily and Cub of course. Then we went to Grand Square, to buy Ice cream, and to a big bakery to buy lovely bread, before going to drop her off at her Dad's house. Now if it was the other people in the house that came with him, they would have said, "That was fun! Solid enjoyment!" But I was just ok. Still feeling down, but I am getting better emotionally. Physically is a different case. Anyone ready to answer my question?

Face Off

The Labour Congress has refused to back down until their demands are met. The difference of #5 on the petrol price is really important to them. I guess they are fighting for the Nigerian people, and telling us all to go on strike is a welcome idea to Nigerians. You know we love holidays, especially impromptu ones. My bone of contention right now is the ASUU strike that is keeping youngsters idle. I just heard of another rush wedding. As usual the girl got pregnant, and they didn't plan it but it happened so they have to get married in a rush so that people wont know (when the whole world already knows). Is there any remedy to the state of Education in Nigeria? Can anybody think up something that will halt the rottenness in that sector?

Interview

Just this morning I conducted an interview - well two of us actually. The lady that came in first looked docile, until she began to speak. She was quite alright, except that the salary she was demanding for was ridiculous considering the post she was to take. Anyway, I felt shaky last night, thinking about it. Now that its over, I think I conducted myself rather well. In fact, I thank God I didn't actually create the bogus form I was tempted to, yesterday.

More Whims

Its 11pm, and I am still sad beyond comprehension - I say this because I really do no know why I am sad. Lily questioned me and I thank God that I could use Tommy's call as the perfect excuse. Youth Call was sufficient enough. When Vicky showed up, one glance at me told him I was not ok. Youth Call was sufficient as well. I think it really started from Sunday evening, when Butterfly's father asked me in a snide tone, "What exactly are you doing in Arkhan? Are you searching for a job, serving (Youth Call) or working?" It wasnt the question but the way he asked it that got me angry. I politely turned down any of the snacks they offered. Vicky eventually came to join us but I was not interested - I buried my face behind a magazine and immersed my mind there. I didn't care what Butterfly's mother and Aunt were saying, I just wanted to get out of there. But wait a minute. I need to do a five - line summary to get you abreast of things. I'm dating Vicky. Lily is

Jungle

WETIN DEY HAPPEN? I just heard that a governor that had been voted and sworn in by the masses in the East was removed and the former governor was re-instated. I don't know the full details but I have this to say - Can't we just feel shame a bit? Its enough that the whole world is staring at the country in disdain (there is practically nothing you can tell them that will convince them that we did not rig the elections). Now add this. Where is Nigeria going to?
