We watch the Rape!

Right, Perfect. This just has to be the first thought in my head, on what should have been a perfect morning. I mean, couldn't I have at least had a nice, long cold shower, big English breakfast and maybe done some productive work. But no, I had to wake up, feeling the activist.
On second thoughts, maybe that's just me waking up broke, I doubt I would be, if I were making almost 30million naira quarterly. Like really, what does anyone do to earn such an allowances? They didn't even have the decency to give them better names!
Basic Salary - N2, 484, 245.50.
Hardship Allowance  @ 50% of Basic Salary - N1, 242, 122.70 (what stupid hardship?, I have a sneaky feeling, that quite a number of Nigerians would like to show them true hardship)
Consistuency allowance @ 200% of BS  -  N4, 968, 509.00
Furniture Allowance @ 300% of BS - N7, 452, 736.50
Newspaper allowance @  50% - N1, 242, 122.70 ( And how many of them can read, really).
Wardrobe allowance @ 25%  - N621, 061.37
Recess Allowance@ 10%: - N248, 424.55
Accommodation @ 200%  - N4, 968, 509.00.
Utilities @ 30%  - N828, 081.83.
Domestic Staff @ 35%  - N863, 184.12.
Entertainment @ 30% - N828, 081.83.
Personal Assistance @ 25%  - N621, 061.37.
Vehicle Maintenance Allowance @ 75%  - N1, 863, 184.12.
Leave Allowance @10% - N248, 424.55.
One off payments (As advised by SagamiteSeverance gratuit)y @ 300%  -N7, 452, 736.50(Once they get fired, like they deserve anymore.)
Motor Vehicle Allowance @ 400% of BS - N9, 936, 982.00  - Every Four Years
And I'm thinking, how many newspapers does a Senator have to read, to warrant N1, 242, 122.70. I mean, if I read 10papers everyday, for 1 year, it would come to about N730,000.00.
Does somebody out there know how much the president of the United States earns? $400,000 per annum, I hear. The President of God's own Country. Our very own senators take home about N27.2million per quarter, and are desperately looking to turn that figure to N42million per quarter.
So, it's no wonder I'm waking up in such a foul mood, and it just got worse, because, I just remembered something else. The Independence Day budget! The Rape Budget! Oh no, don't even get me started on that one, please spare me the agony and find out all on your own.

The new god Medium

It's the blackberry, and those annoying broadcasts that are fast becoming a fad. Like really, does anyone believe that I need to send out a broadcast of someone's obvious idleness, to create a special pathway for God to bless me?
I don't know if it works for others, but, definitely not me, the whole blackmail syndrome that reeks off those messages. And the most irritating ones are those that put up a threat( about something bad happening). Now don't even get me started on those ones that now decide to pick on a loved one( Susan read this message and didn't forward it, her mum died a day after). 'Well nutter, I ain't forwarding no messages, and yo can touch ma mama'.
So, I thought I'd just save you the trouble of including me in your broadcasts, by informing you, that;
Before I had my blackberry, I didn't need to forward messages to people before God blessed me or before God knew that I loved Him or before something special happened to me. Forwarding messages to 20 people is NOT a criteria for God to bless me. So, won't you save me the trouble of unlocking my keypad, scrolling to my messenger application, only to read a message asking me to pass it on so that God would bless me in 5mins. Maybe yours, but, my own God is NOT a magician. Yea, so, thanks for co-operating. And God bless you too!

The Grand Entrance!

I suppose this is ma version of the grand entrance. Yea, here I am walkin down the red carpet, with ma very victorian black gown, ma eye mask, showin well-highlighted evil eyes, black leather gloves,red leather pumps with the most unreasonable heels, and a luxurious mane of every woman's crowning glory. Hmmm, I agree, I do know how to make an entrance. Infact, I love to make an entrance, the adrenaline rush is amazing.
I know this entrance is supposed to mark the beginning of flirty whispers,bla bla bla, If u truly believe this, you expect too much of me. I must warn you,this would probably be more of the ranting of a mad woman, bear with me. I have gone through the trouble to create this site, humour me and read.
