ALARUM BELL IS RINGING
Have you heard the news?
What news?
That the MEND people have started "mending" Lagos?
How do you mean?
Don't tell me you are not aware that the Niagaran foremost fuel depot has been bombed...
Na lie! You mean the Atlas Cove Jetty has been bombed?
Sit down there!
But this na wah o!
What's na wah about it?
It appears you are not a student of history.
Yarn me tory.
Well, that's how the Niagara-Biafra war escalated in 1967 when the Biafrans bombed Lagos.
You don't meant. Do you?
Well, I've just told you. If you like, make you hear. If you like make you no hear. But as they talk am for proverb...A word is enough for the wise.
That mean say you don ring alarm bell be that. No be so?
Me I don do my own. Do not say I told you.
Do not say I heard you.
About Me
- Dele Omotunde
- Welcome to the blog where laughter is a tranquilizer as well as an inducer of thoughts. If you have a weak diaphragm, you may want to consult your doctor before visiting this blog. This is one blogger’s territory, far away from the madding crowd of orthodoxy. Here, the approach is revolutionary,radical and, at times, surreal. Since Opilogue debuted as a conversational opinion column in 2003 in TELL, Nigeria's Number 1 weekly newsmagazine. some have wondered why I chose the conversational style to express my own opinions on issues and my response has always been, why not? There are many ways of killing a rat. Aren't there? It's the end result that matters. The serious, pungent, frowning writer may not achieve as much as the upbeat, witty, sometimes allegorical, commentator. My avant garde style of writing is a reflection of the creative instincts in me. No issue is too serious or unserious to be discussed. But one thing is sure, no matter how serious or tragic the issue is, you will still be able to have a take-home pack with some laughlines and, of course, food for thought.
