Joke - Oga!

I once met a guy whose name was Orga. Some pronounce it like 'Oga' (which means master; used to address a worker or someone with more seniority). When Orga was in primary school, his teacher asked him, 'What's your name?' He replied: 'Orga.' The teacher thought he said 'Oga.' The teacher was so upset that he started flogging the student, 'Are you mad? Do you expect me to call you 'Oga'?' The student cried, 'Master, Master, that is my name ooo...'

Imagine Orga went to work as a driver to one rich man (original Oga). One day, the rich man was expecting some important guests he's not met before. When the guests arrived, the rich man called out to his driver, 'Orga, please come, the guests have arrived.' The visitors thought that Orga was the original Oga they came to see. Before long, they were paying homage to Orga. Orga shouted, 'No, no, no, I'm not the Oga. See my Oga.' Imagine the confusion. Anyway, the issue was clarified. After the guests left, original Oga told his driver, 'Orga, we have to change your name before you use your funny name to take over my business.'

Overqualified Applicant

One company advertised for cleaners. On the day of the interview, a number of persons showed up. There was this man who showed up with his credentials: B.Sc, M.Sc, etc. The interviewers were surprised and wondered why a man with such qualifications be applying for a cleaning job.

When it got to the man's turn, he was asked: 'Sir, why did you apply for this job? You have enough qualifications to get you a better job.'

The man replied, 'I'm intrigued about the art of cleaning. I often wonder about the simple pleasures of the cleaner. The cleaner does the job of wiping away the dirt, the ills, the wrongs of others.... Think about the science of cleaning. The use of antiseptics. Do you know the origin of the first antiseptic? Do you know the wealth of history behind that simple yet profound discovery?.....'

This man kept talking and talking and talking... After one and the half hour of lecture on the art and science of cleaning, the interviewers, who did not know the answers to his questions, knew what was going on here. All was not well.

Na joke ooooooooo!

Joke – Acute changes in physique!

There was this guy whose physique changes rapidly with the amount of money he has. If he gets much money today, by tomorrow he will grow noticeably fat. If he loses that money in the morning, by evening time, he’s lost all the weight. One day, he got a call that a huge amount of money was deposited in his account. As he was walking to a bank ATM Machine, this guy started adding weight along the way. When he got to the ATM, there was a queue. He waited for a while, adding more weight. When it got to his turn, to his surprise, there was no money in his account. Do you know what happened? This guy started shedding weight immediately. He kept checking and checking again. When he finally confirmed that there was no money in his account, this guy…….

Disappeared in thin air to the great surprise of those waiting on the line!

#ASUUstrike

I went to the bank the other day and I saw many old pensioners on a long queue cursing and arguing. I thought about the pains these pensioners go through and I remember the many pension scams I read about. It made me wonder: Why do government officials find it easy to mess up pensioners and pension funds? The answer: They can’t go on strike. #ASUUstrike

Some say that going on strike is not the solution to problems and that there are other ways to resolve issues. Dialogue they say should be the only way. Well, let me ask, please, when was the last time the government made any changes in worker’s welfare without being been edged on by a strike? Give me one example. Check those sections of the government where people can’t go on strike; they suffer most: pensioners. Maybe #strikologue is better: dialoguing while on strike. #ASUUstrike

Some people oppose strike actions, but they don’t reject the dividends of those strikes. When doctors went on strike for CONMESS, some elders in the medical profession were opposed to the strike. But when the strike yielded increased pay, they did not reject the pay. ‘Who nor like better thing?’ #ASUUstrike

Perspective on social issues (1) – Reliving the dumping of toxic waste in Koko

Many years ago, toxic waste was dumped in Koko, Nigeria. It was said that the information came out when Nigerians abroad were being mocked because tons of toxic waste were dumped in our doorstep and yet we had no knowledge of it. I remember then that the Nigerian government and other patriotic Nigerians worked hard to restore Nigeria’s image and credibility. These days, a lot of toxic things are been dumped right in front of us too often that any efforts to repair Nigeria’s image is worthless. Those things are even more toxic than those waste dumped in Koko years ago. Are you wondering what they are? Just tune the news! I’m not talking about NTA. Tune in to BBC, CNN, Aljazeera, Channels, and AIT and then go online and browse Nigeria news on Google and YouTube. Please watch the Video of the River State Assembly mayhem on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cI3wU4jZRCQ). Those Nigerians who fought tirelessly against the dumping of the toxic waste in Koko would find it hard to comprehend how those who swore to preserve and protect the image of this country only succeed in making it a laughing-stock on a daily basis. Gani Fawehinmi, Fela, and other late social crusaders would turn in their graves were they able to hear the toxic news from Nigeria. Pathetic garbage!
