Mazi, Mazi, Mazi. Do you know that actions speak louder than words?

Ahn Ahn. Egbon, which kind talk be that? I never arrive finish you don dey preach

Wetin action and words come have to do with am?

No, I was just thinking. Most people don’t understand that it is the actions of the parents children listen to more than their words. Most people were insulting the girl for fixing eyelashes to school…

Bia bia bia. I don’t understand. Which type of eyelashes is she fixing? Is it the one on the eye?

No, the one on the leg

Wait, didn’t God give her eyelashes that she is fixing another one on her eye?

Mazi, it is part of fashion now. These girls the kind of things they are doing today ehn. This second eyelashes ehn, they will fix it on top of the one that is already there. No be small thing o. Okay, as I was saying… the girl wey people dey insult say she no be good pikin; people no wan open eye see the mama behaviour.

Mazi, I never hear that one before but na true you talk

Egbon, you see say Lagos house of assembly don suspend the Chairman of Ifako-Ijaiye local government for misappropriation of funds

Yes o. that is a plus for us in this country; at least if they won’t put him in prison, he should lose his position in a disgraceful way.

I’m telling you. I know that I always say that I am tired of this country but things like this means that there is hope in this country

There is hope, small by small people in such positions will realize that they cannot do what they like with our funds. If not, why are we paying tax?

You can ask that question again. Why are we paying tax if we cannot see what it is used for?

Every time wey I dey pay my tax, the thing dey pepper my body.

Na only you. No be fight me and my accountant for fight last week because of the amount wey he say I suppose pay? But I just leave am for God because I know say if I no pay, that one na another wahala

Na serious wahala o. Mazi, you know the thing wey dey annoy me for this country?

For every good news there are four bad news about this country. Okay, see now. Kano government is saying that it will not adhere to court ruling that the additional emirs created are not valid

What kind of country are we living in? are they now saying that it is okay to go against the Nigerian constitution?
