That Friend Zone Ish.....




"I like you as a friend" 
"You are like a brother to me" 
"You are more than a friend to me"
If you've ever been told any of this by a female, Brother, you are in the difficult Friend Zone.
And I'm certain that she concluded by saying, "we should just remain friends".....
It's sad...really really sad.
And it's much sadder if you accept to remain in this bottle she has kept you; if you accept to remain in that shit hole by yourself; if you refuse to see the value in you.
When you are in that zone, you are not better than a slave!
Yes, a Slave!
You are the one who gives her tips on how to relate with the main guy; you accept to be a shoulder she can cry on; I'm sorry but you are a goat too....
How can you consciously choose to be foolish; like, you don't even gain anything, rather you are the one who gives everything like say you be Jesus Christ. 
Really, the thing doesn't make sense to me; why settle for less?
Coz I know that when you started running after that girl, you wanted more than just being her hand bag.....you wanted something more tangible; you wanted to be the main guy, but here you are, wasting away, terribly under priced and under valued, and yet you are happy.
Really?
Well to my fellaz in the Friend Zone, this piece is not to mock you; it's sole purpose is to challenge you.
Yes, to challenge you to see the genius in you; to make you reconsider your pathetic condition.
Why don't you just walk away from that place?
It's not hard, you know... You wanted more and then she made you settle for less...It shows your resolve is weak.
Personally, I feel that when she tells you no, you can ask again if you are so much enthralled or at best, you walk away.
Staying around in the name of 'best friend' 'bestie' or any of those wicked names they give makes you look like a pensioner and it's not good!
I don't care what minute benefits you get from that place because in truth, nothing you get from being her best friend or just a friend can rival the satisfaction of being the main guy.
Before I raise my hands from my Keyboard, let me stress that I'm not against being friends with a female; I'm just saying that your friendship shouldn't be as a result of your rejection.
That's all and like our Oga, Ben Bruise will  say, "I'm just trying to make common sense".

The Article About Nothing.

So, after so much dilly dallying on my part, I finally decided to travel on Sunday but then, I had to put up one last show of my genius; I had to confuse "Village People" by announcing that I'd travel on Saturday... My journey was largely uneventful majorly because I was travelling in a bus that had a more than fair share of nursing mothers strutting their respective breasts in a bid to feed their always hungry babies: this of course lacked the capability of interesting me. Well, things took a twist in my rather boring journey as men of the Nigerian Police Force stopped our bus to carry out a thorough check probably because we looked suspicious (I'm guessing this suspicion was stroked by the fact that my eyes were as red as whatever you can imagine as a result of my "highness" and because I wore a black face cap, a black top and a black trousers). I was searched and fortunately for me, I decided to leave my kitchen knife in school, and I had run out of su

Nigeria at 56: are we cursed or are we the cause?

Image
Apologies to Mr Peter Obi for using this catchy but thought provoking phrase that he used the very first time he contested for the Governorship of Anambra State. Apparently, that question he asked over ten years ago still hangs over not just his Anambra State but Nigeria as a whole. On a Night like this, 56 years ago, there was probably a sickening nostalgia all over the then British Colony which would later become the Country, Nigeria about the endless possibilities that accompany Independence, especially in a Country that is as endowed as ours. Well, Tomorrow will be exactly 56 years since Nigeria attained independent status from Great Britain. At Independence, our founding fathers such as Nnamdi Azikiwe, Ahmadu Bello and Obafemi Awolowo had such lofty goals and dreams for our progress, prosperity: they conceived a Nigeria that would maximize her enormous human capital resources: A Nigeria that would truly cater for the hopes and aspirations of her diverse peoples: A Nigeria that

AHEAD OF SATURDAY: WHO DID WE OFFEND?

Image
Recently, I saw an op-Ed o n Bloomberg which potrayed Nigeria's 2019 Presidential election as between a former dictator and an alleged kleptocrat. At first, I considered the insinuation offensive but deep down, I knew that was the perfect description of the two gladiators in this weekend's presidential polls; my grouse was actually with the fact that even foreigners know how bad our shit smells. While he was campaigning for the first time as the Governor of Anambra State, Mr Peter Obi, the vice presidential candidate of Nigeria's main opposition party in Saturday's poll kept asking if Anambra was cursed or if Anambra people were the cause. Today, I can't resist the urge to ask whether Nigeria is cursed with totally irresponsible leadership or if we are the causes of the failure in leadership. Perhaps no time but now is best to ask that soul provoking question, given the choices we have decided to limit ourselves to. By this time next week, either of incumbent
