So the saying goes.
Few weeks back, I experienced the perfect description for the expression
'Weather for two'. The harmattan was tough and severe, the ventilation system at home was practically in limbo, folks wrapping themselves like a parcel for present and some be like moi moi. It was like winter over here but just like another Harry Potter movie, with a snap of finger, we are where we are now.
Ever found yourself in an unpleasant situation, what was your reaction?
Well, I do my possible best to get out of it. Someone said, but what about if you don't get out?
Hmm.....
Yeah, that's very typical of most of us, we just wanna go back to what used to be and maintain the status quo, we soliloquize asking, how did we get here, we keep on fighting but every breaking of the dawn takes us further away from what we so much desire and as such we consider capitulating especially in the face of sceptics.
Alright, let's do some Time Travelling...
Some years back on a mission somewhere in the North, on joining my folks that had earlier gone ahead of me, I discovered that the secured accommodation had only a door as the only form of ventilation and access. Trust me, I didn't take it quite kindly with 'em, I insisted that either one is created or we move out.
It was around the first quarter of the year, the harmattan has gone and the atmosphere had no intention of releasing any form of precipitation anytime soon. The cool sweet breeze has gone to the Ocean, the Lagoon and the Creeks to solicit for some waters in the form of precipitation or even if it's a dew but it seems it has been caught up in the unkind and terrible ''Go Slow'' (Hold Up) that bedeviled the JAGABAN administration.
So, where's our help going to come from now? Yeah! The Sky, definately from the above. Since the South West Trade Wind is still in the ''Flenjor of Eko Wahala'' and there are hills and mountains round about our host community in tandem with enormous solar radiation, Orographic Rainfall to the rescue. Still nothing happened.
Haba! Whats wrong, are the gods angry with us, who could have profaned the land as to have so much incurred the wrath of the gods upon this community? When we fan ourselves it's like bringing the embers of Coals upon us.
With due seeking, it was uncovered that after all, it wasn't the gods that was responsible for the cessation of the breeze. It's just that it's still being held in the Eko-Idumota-Ebute Ero Traffic Logjam, as it was a case of ''nobody dey comot, nobody dey enta''.
Oya oo! abeg I no fit stay for this place wey window no dey, we best look for another apartment (yeah, apartment indeed) or create a window in here. By The Way (BTW), the room had no ceiling (can you imagine), so no emission of heat from solar radiation.
But wait o, who says it's not the gods that has caused all this ''Wahala''? Who says the gods are not angry with us? Else why has the breeze left us for Eko? Why Am I sweating immediately after I have just finished taking my bath? Why do I have to replace my bath with ablusion? (Because of insufficient water).
Now back to the present time…
Sometime ago, a certain Madam whose senatorial seat is in a serious controversy with the electoral body blamed Incubus and its cohorts as the cause of Plane Crash and not too long ago, after the alleged missing National budget was found, some strange elements made its way into the budget, that's how that Doctor wey get ''Odi Eshi beard beard'' chose to collapse instead of defending the budget for his ministry, then wake up come dey deny am (cussing and shouting in the manner of Peter when he did the foretold at Cockcrow). Now tell me, who could have done this if not the....
Now, I'm hearing that Aunty Kemi has gone to Oyingbo Market to meet Madam Ngozi in order to improve her skills in the area of arithmetic computing. Else, how can you explain it, Aunty Kemi, a well-seasoned and astute thrift collector (akawo, alajo), have difficulty summing up 16+6 to be 24, ah ah! AdonBilivit!(I don't believe it) Maybe you should read her profile, you will understand what I'm saying, but seriously, this is not ordinary, who could have done this to Aunty Kemi..?
