Juju scare in Akwa Ibom House of Asembly

Another hectic day, really had a rough day. Its good to be back, was down with blogging fever. Calabar has returned to its normal hustle and bustle. Last week was the matric ceremonies at Unical, i say to all the jambites "welcome to the university of calamity".

There was a scare at the Akwa Ibom State of Assembly on Monday following the discovery of a dead bird, blood stains and some concoctions in front of the office of the Speaker, Chief Iganatius Edet. Members of staff of the Assembly and visitors to the Assembly were shocked at the sight of the fetish items.

Well its no longer news that most politicians use fetish means to launch their political careers, some even go to the extent of swearing to fetish oaths. This is really not surprising, its no news at all because our political systems has degraded to such levels.

From comments by some of the workers who spoke in hushed tones, it was apparent that all was not well in the Assemby . It was however, gathered that the police had arrested five suspects in connection with the fetish objects.

Lets keep our fingers crossed and see how it all turns out.

Valentines day Review

Another late post by me, and have been actually off the blogging scene for a while, nothing much has been happening in Calabar. Valentines day have come and gone with all the memories. Calabar has turned to Sodom and Gomorrah of our time . All the joints, eateries, hotels and clubs were all crowded due to the large number of lovers and fun seekers. And believe me some joints had to employ the services of bouncers to regulate and control the crowed of love birds.

Why has this day become so popular? is one question that deserves answers. Had fun anyway with my friends, Meesuan really made our day. Valentines day has come and gone and i bet u the owners of the major joints,eateries and hotels smiled to the banks at the end of the day.

Nigerian Police

Nigerian police are at their funny best again, they won't stop to amaze me with the way they go about harrasing innocent people going about their businesses. Another of such incident happened on saturday at about 3pm at Marian road, housing the first cybermul premises and other businesses.

The police drove in, in three trucks and held every body within the premises under arrest including all their costumers who came for one business or came to eat. They were told to lie down on the dust, their clothes where tied to one another.after about one hour the were now ferried to the police state CID headquarters. Their offense they didn't know. I actually missed being arrested myself having gone there to eat about 10 minutes earlier.

Later gist began to make round that the car dealer within the premises sold a stolen car to a customer and the car was actually stolen in Abuja and was traced to Calabar good job though, but was part of the investigation meant to embarrass innocent people or to to halt businesses? Well as innocent as they all were, trust the police they still collected bail of nothing less than 5,000 bucks. How sad.

Please oga police make una do una work without embarrasing or extorting from innocent citizens.

Valentine fever

Just a joke

One day in the forest, 3 guys were just hiking along a trail when all of a sudden, a huge pack of Indians attacked them and knocked them out. When they woke up, they were at the leader of the tribe's throne. The chief then said "All of your lives may be spared if you can find ten of one fruit and bring them back to me."

So after a while the first man returned with 10 apples. The chief then ordered him to stick all ten of them up his butt without making any expression at all on his face. He had a little bit of trouble with the first one and started crying while trying to put the next one in. He was soon killed. Later, the next guy came in with 10 grapes. The chief soon ordered him to do the same as the first guy. After to the 9th grape, the man started laughing so hard for no apparent reason, and was killed.

The first two guys soon met in heaven and the first guy ask the second, "Why did you start laughing? You only needed one more grape and you'd have gotten away!" The second guy answered while still laughing, "I couldn't help it. I saw the third guy walking in with pineapples."
