God, Nigeria’s not working

Koko: Why are you wearing black?
Kaka: I’m mourning. I’m bereaved.
Koko: Who died?
Kaka: Nigeria. Our country is gone.
Koko: I reject it in Jesus name.
Kaka: next thing you’ll say death is not our portion. Hiding under religion and positive confession is what led us to this sorry pass. I wonder what is left of this country that makes you think it is not dead. If you have the sense God gave a goose you would order for a coffin immediately.

Kaka: Why are you so angry now? Has something happened that has not happened before?
Koko: Has the Wings aircraft that disappeared from the radar last Saturday been found? One solid week after a plane lost contact with control tower and the plane is still missing. We are even assuming that the control tower exists.

Kaka: We shall find it, Oh ye men of little faith. We have commissioned hunters and Fulani herdsmen to join the search team.
Koko: So a plane has now become a grasscutter for hunters to go after?
Kaka: Look that plane can’t be bigger than a cow, Fulani herdsmen will spot it soon. We shall leave no stone unturned until we find that plane.
Koko: I think you are all stoned out of your skulls and should be stoned out of the aviation sector. You can’t find one plane?

Kaka: Honestly those guys in aviation are working very hard. They have extended their tentacles to Cameroun. And this is privileged information, we are suspecting that the whole thing is the handiwork of witches and wizards. We are recruiting prophets and marabouts. I’m sure it won’t be long now.
Koko: Bravo. Clap for yourself. Now I see why the Senate wants everybody in the Aviation industry sacked. I think there should also be disclaimers in the newspapers and on television of certain officers of the sector in case other countries receive application for employment from them. They are threats to humanity.

Kaka:You think we can’t find this small plane?
Koko: I think you are not capable of finding anything and has it occurred to you that the plane could have been hijacked?
Kaka: God forbid.

Koko: God is now working in the aviation industry? One day a few schoolboys would jump into one of the planes on the tarmac and fly into the sunset and all aviation people will do is write press statements and commission hunters to search for the plane.
Kaka: In other words, those who fly the Nigerian airspace are an endangered specie.
Koko: They are absolutely on their own.

Kaka: You are saying it is even possible for a Presidential plane to disappear for ever.
Koko: Of course. What’s worse? All the concern may fizzle out soon and that will be the beginning of a register of missing plane just like the long list of unsolved murders in Nigeria.
Kaka: Don’t give up. I assure you with the combined efforts of the hunters and the marabouts, we shall put all witches and our detractors to shame.

Koko: Is it also witches that spent all that huge sums of money in the power sector when there is darkness everywhere or you are still too blind, deaf and stupid to see the need for a coffin for Nigeria? Perhaps PHCN is supplying electricity in your area? Have you not heard the way our so-called leaders frittered away millions of dollars on what we cannot see?

Kaka: Oh that?
Koko: Oh that indeed!
Kaka: Look, you’ll burst an artery the way you are going. What are a few billions between compatriots? It was money for the boys. It’s part of democracy.
Koko: Awarding contracts verbally is democracy?
Kaka: Yes ke? If democracy is government of the people by the people and for the people, then the money must be for the people.
Koko: Money for your thieving brothers and uncles who awarded contracts perched on toilet seats. Aren’t you ashamed to stand there and justify this daylight robbery by people who pontificated for eight years?

Kaka: If my uncles awarded contracts in the toilet or over bowls of pounded yam and vegetable soup, why didn’t your own saintly brothers execute them?
Koko: Are you by any chance referring to the white-bearded one?
Kaka: Did I mention anybody’s name? What about the governor?
Koko: I no no book? All I know is that some people ought to be buried alive for doing this to us. All the time they were promising us things would soon improve in the power sector, they were doing megawatts stealing.
Kaka: God will reward them with megawatt pain.
Koko: For every naira we spend fuelling our generators, those robbers will suffer megawatt losses.
Kaka: Amen

Koko: Will you now go and wear a brighter shirt?
Kaka: Not yet. I’m still worried about governors who have not only formed Governors’ Forum but are planning to build Governors’ House in Abuja.
Koko: That is a lie from the pit of hell. Why would they want to do that?
Kaka: To further show that they are powerful.
Koko: Each state has Governor’s Office and Government House. They each have liaison offices in Abuja. What do they need Governors’ House for?
Kaka: I bet they want something as big as Aso Rock because that will be their own Villa o
Koko: Very suspicious projects
kaka: Oh God, when ’ll things improve?
