Joke: Political slogans


Years ago, there was a political slogan that ran on National TV. It read, ‘Who the cap fits, let him wear it.’ I saw a political poster recently that read, ‘Who will wear the shoe, if not you?’ Well, since political slogans and adverts have to do with wearing things, I’ve come with several options:

‘Who the coat fits, let him wear it.’
‘Who will wear the suit, if not you?’
‘Who the eyeglasses fits, let him wear it.’
‘Who the boxers size, let him carry go.’
‘Who the diamond ring fits, let her wear it ooo.’
‘Who the golden necklace fits, let her wear it.’
‘Who the Igbese wrapper resemble, let her wear it ooo.’
‘Who the koikoi shoe sizes, let her carry go.’
‘Who will enter the bullet-proof jeep, if not you?’
‘Who will chop the money, if not you?’

I've closely followed COVID-19 coverage for more than 1 year. Here are my key takeaways. (Part 1)

In January of 2020, I started seeing news of a novel illness in China. At that time, I didn't give it much attention because of the then ongoing impeachment trial of Donald Trump. One of my favourite pastimes is following up on current news and topical issues. So, it was towards the end of the impeachment trial that the news of this new infectious disease in China started picking steam in the traditional and social media. The possibility of a new transmissible infection reaching the shores of Africa, for me, was a dreadful thing to think about because it brings back the memories of the 2014 Ebola crisis in West Africa. As a practicing health care worker in Nigeria, I remember how it felt seeing febrile patients with history of travel to regions with confirmed Ebola cases. The last thing I wanted was to relive that experience. Hence, out of fear, anxiety and much trepidation, I closely followed every key event related to this novel viral illness that later came to be named COVID-19 ...

Reflections: A Moment of a Lifetime!

Image
We all have had a moment in our lives that we would always live to remember. That special moment when the earth stood still and the universe became your audience. Yes, that very moment you became the epicenter of the universe. The moment that remains indelibly marked in your heart and mind. That moment he saw her; that moment she saw him, and they both knew that they were meant to be together forever. That moment you stopped in your life’s pursuits and realized that your life has a larger purpose and meaning. That moment you made your life’s dreams come through. That moment you were declared a doctor or lawyer or engineer or the likes of that. Yes, that moment you began your life’s career. That moment you got a promising job. That moment you stepped from the plane and you began a new phase of your life. That moment you stood at the altar, took an oath and swore your undying love for your life partner and then opened a whole new chapter in the history of your life. That moment yo...

Reflections: A Sense of Humour! A Sense of Balance!

It helps to look at the light side of things. If someone insults you or make you angry, can you look at the funny side of it and smile about it, it can go a long way to ease the tension! When you sense that people laugh at you because of a defect you have, can you preempt them by joking about it? For example, I’m short and dark. If someone wants to pick on me, that will be his first point of call. So, I joke a lot about my been short and dark like, ‘black pot’, ‘black charcoal’, ‘briefly summarized’, etc such that when so insulted that won’t be the first time. Don’t be discouraged, whatever defect you have if you can’t change it then take advantage of it. What you lack vertically, you can make up horizontally. What you lack in length, you can make up in width. What you lack in colour, you make up in contour. What you lack anteriorly, you can make up posteriorly. What you lack superiorly, you can make up inferiorly. What you lack outwardly, you can make up in...
