Urinating without pay

(A WHATSAPP MESSAGE I LIKE)

 A man reached 70 years of age and was affected by a disease which made him unable to urinate.

The doctors told him that he needs an operation to cure the disease.

He agreed to do the operation as the problem was giving him severe pain for days.

When the operation was completed the doctor gave him a bill which covered all the costs.

After looking at the bill, the man started crying. Upon seeing this, the doctor said "If the cost is too high then we could make some other arrangements for you.

"The old man replied, "I am not crying because of the money but I am crying because God let me urinate for 70 years and He never sent me a bill!"

A historical garage of lesson

This was wealth.

CLIMATE TALKS IN PARIS: Mother Nature has given up on us

The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, UNFCCC, now has a document from the Paris Climate Change Convention.
Let’s hope the industrial world will hearken.

Meanwhile, Mother Nature has a way of mocking us: to get to the pre-Paris talks held in Bonn from 19 to 23 October, delegates fouled the climate with emissions the equivalent of that from a small city.
Looking at the crowd at the Paris Convention, the quantity of ecosystem-crippling gasses released into the atmosphere is enough for them to discuss throughout the jamboree.
Mother Nature has given up on us.

The story says a boy chained his bike to a tree and left for World War 1 (1914-1918). He didn't return.

Mozilla kicks off annual fundraiser on Firefox's home page

Mozilla Foundation has kicked off its annual fund-raising drive by placing the pitch on the home page of Mozilla Corp.'s Firefox browser.

The non-profit runs a drive each December -- this is the fifth straight year -- to finance its education, research and public awareness campaigns and projects. The money raised does not go toward expenses incurred to develop and maintain the Firefox browser or Firefox OS. Mozilla relies on contracts from a variety of search providers, including Yahoo and China's Baidu, to fund Firefox.

Being a Nigerian

I had hired a Keke Marwa, taken two Okada; in search of fuel for my 10-litre jerry can. With the sun at its peak. No electricity, but high bill and sleep for my people is hellish without ventilation.

So there was no particular reason to be patriotic.

But there it was...

There was lump in my throat, a swelling in my chest and it was all I could do not to stand at attention and salute (bloody civilian) as it went slowly, but majestically, by:

An Army convoy: wicked-looking vehicles, apocalypse-like guns mounted (Gatlin, I think) and soldiers standing straight as a rod.

It soon went out of sight and, sweating under the raging sun, I continued my hunt. Total that was rescuing us from shysters suddenly decided not to sell to any one carrying jerry cans in a bid to curb supply to black marketers. So my tour ended up with, yes, same black marketers: N200 a litre.

And those soldiers? I don't know o. But I am certain that the Chibok girls are not anywhere near my house and Sambisa Forest is up North!
