After accepting the romantic advances of this beautiful bride for the past thirty years of my life, and accepting the privileges she has granted me, I have found that my responses to her must of necessity follow certain steps. These steps are not sacrosanct, but are merely the products of the winding maze she has carved out of her history, and the unexplainable circumstances she currently exists in. While I cannot doubt her beauty and the alluring embellishments with which she remains seductive daily , I have come to see her inner filth and the unsacred ugliness of her inner influences and motivators.

Even banning the movie District 9 in Nigeria or the screaming down of the Sony advert goes a long way to show how desperate our condition has become. Yet all these efforts have just been totally messed up by the actions of the President of the country this week. We look like a baboon claiming equality with a gorilla, and expecting the beating of our chest will cause panic in the forest.
