Today’s Issue:    Phone-y Election and the Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria

 

I welcome every every to another episode of our MeroëRadio Show, Good Morning, Naija wey lakunlescrews bring give you. No vex say na evening I dey do this one, e be as e get. Na one something dey give person-brain tough-time. Abi how, beloved listeners, how you see the matter?

 

One person carry em professional body go court say dem disqualify him from contesting the Presidency of his Professional Society. The reason for the disqualification na say em never work ‘post-qualification’ for the required number of years before gunning for the esteemed chair.

 

Wetin his own fans dey talk na say their man was disqualified because of the region wey em come from. That region don too produce Presidents. Kai! Some others talk say that one sef na sentiments, ehm propaganda, of course.

 

In short, our man sued the Society and the hearing of the case na 7th of November (Wednesday, just gone). The court suppose hear from the parties involved and decide whether to allow the election to go on without ‘our man’ (scheduled for the next day, 8th of November) or to suspend the election until dem accordingly integrate ‘our man’. Shikena!

 

Wetin we hear? The Judge, supposed umpire, yarn on the day of the hearing say em no get motor (abi na car dem dey call am) to convey am go court. So, dem postpone the hearing to sometime in December (weeks after the election must have held).  Reasonable!

 

‘Our Judge’ no get motor, Okada no dey, em no get friend or family member wey get motor. I suppose fit know sef say official car sef no dey and nobody dey em workplace wey get motor. Naija men dey suffer. No?

 

Hmmmm, lakunlescrews dey beg the Government make dem dey provide motor or Okada or at least a bicycle to our Judges make something fit convey them to court. Na beg I beg o. Signed!

 

Make we go one Musical Break now with the music of Tu baba, Ole.

 

MB: [Sing along]

 

 

 

 

 

You are welcome back to our show, Good Morning, Naija.

Wetin we dey discuss na the happening for the Pharmaceutical Society of Naija National Conference wey dey happen for Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library, Abeokuta, Nigeria.

 

 The PDP former BOT Chairman (arrange the words well, if I get am wrong), former Naija President, Priest, Man of God, Father of Aremu, Chiefs (only one man), GCFR blah, blah, blah, actually honoured the Naija Pharmacists with his presence, a speech and his usual mannerisms (I expect a smile). In fact, ‘Our Presido’ dash Naija Drug Men a cocktail wey pass party.

 

Soon, we go do a photo exhibition on top am.

 

Meanwhile, lakunlescrews go dey wait for your calls make you help me halla say make Government provide motor or bicycle to ‘Our Judges’ (whichever they prefer because I know bicycle will come in handing when they need to arrive court late, behind schedule and therefore presented with a need to postpone the hearing, whatever ways lawyers describe that).

 

We go meet again next episode.

 

Once again, this show na Good Morning, Naija on MeroëRadio.

 

 

LAST PILL…

 

The mind is a great thing, it should be referred to as the 1st or humbly, the 0.5th wonder of the world.

 

Everyone has a mind which is capable of arresting time, twisting and bending it at will to make a masterpiece of intangibles that are fed to it.

 

Never asking for too much, neither a mind that will set a carbon paper on fire nor the mind that will make you walk barefoot on red-hot coals, just the one that will break the boundaries of limitation and step gallantly onto that shore with uncertain uncertainties, maybe.

 

That’s what to have. It’s like the Sword while love is your shield….

Naija: More than worth its weight in gold?

RADIO SHOW:   Good Morning Naija

STATION:             MeroëRadio

TIME:                    25 hours G.M.T. every single day, no be small thing

Today’s Issue:    Naija: More than worth its weight in gold?

 

 

You are welcome to the maiden edition of the radio show, ‘Good Morning, Naija’ on MeroëRadio. This episode promises to be exciting. We shall be focusing on the Naija we know vis-a-vis her current status.

 

This is borne out of an interest in the catchword employed to brand the golden jubilee of Obafemi Awolowo University, the only University apart from the others – “OAU@50: More than worth its weight in gold”.

What is gold? I’ll say gold is gold!

Call it whatever, in whatever language and in whatever way, the very nature of gold remains. Conceal it in the mud, call it dlog or ungold; what it is is what it is.

 

There is the beauty and there is the pride of gold, anyday. The beauty may derive also from embellishment and colour-impact from the outside but the pride of gold is in the yellow beauty that arises from its core. This yellow is peculiar, a perfect representation of what gold is and maybe not what it could turn into. So, no embellishment. We switch to lingua pidgin.

 

Wetin Naija do again wey person no fit yarn in a language wey dey consider the peculiarities of the Naija situation (not really that special a case as not to permit it).

 

Two years ago, na em Naija clock 50. That one na wetin the Apostles of globalisation, wey dash us language (English type, forgive my error), call Golden Jubilee. Na the age for person to enter menopause and to say, “I don born all the children for my belle. Na to grow remain.”

Same thing with Obafemi Awolowo University, wey start her grand 50th anniversary celebration today (5th of November, 2012).

 

Before we continue, make we sammer you one ogbonge commercial break (CB).

CB: (Instrumentals)

BUY NIGERIA, DO NIGERIA, PLAY NIGERIA,

TAKE NIGERIA FOR A STROLL (NO LONGER FOR A RIDE,

BECAUSE THE GIANT IN NIGERIA WILL NEVER AGAIN FALL ASLEEP).

BUY NIGERIA FROM US!

 

You are welcome back. Now that Oba Awon University dey celebrate her 50 born years na the time to account for the number and quality of her children and the standard, developmentally, of her premises.

 

Her children dey scattered around the globe and are doing excellently well within and outside the country.

Structurally, OAU na the most beautiful campus in the universe (wow! Did I just word an inconclusive thought? of Nigeria (better). And things still dey happen. The Faculty of Pharmacy, my beloved constituency, go soon get a new ultramodern (I suppose) building worth hundreds of million in naira (of course) and just behind am, the Department of Building go get one worth a billion in naira. How benevolent!

 

Being not infallible however, we suppose admit say no system dey wey no get comma, even ultimately a full-stop. But in comparison with the larger system (the one wey give Great Ife the means to acquire the earlier mentioned buildings), Great Ife stands tall. In spite of every every, the people of the school work to keep one another moving on them toes and the subjects are pleased with the pace.

 

Abi wetin we go call country wey award contract not for the purpose of contract execution but sharing of contract proceeds. At this point (orita), Ife-Ibadan expressway waka come person mind. Not once, not twice! Similar situations suppose dey waka anyhow on the the mind of my audience.

 

Once again listeners and this time, I need a response. It don pass two years since Naija, more or less, become gold. How she dey do? “Naija@50: More than worth her weight in gold?”

 

As we dey reason the response, make we quickly go a musical break (MB) with D’banj’s Oyato. No change the station I beg.

 

MB: [Sing along]

 

You are welcome back. D’bank says he’s Oyato. No be so?  That one dey symbolize differentiation from the lot which precedes integration into the whole. Woe yamutu (betides) anyone wey sing to the contrary because the order of the day na differentiation for integration.

 

“Naija: More than her weight in gold?”

 

Listeners at home, our call line dey open. Call to let us know wetin you reason. Your reason dey important to us.

 

Once again, this show na Good Morning, Naija on MeroëRadio.

 

 

 

LAST PILL…

 

Love is all you’ve got when all else is gone.

Cling to it like nothing else counts; hold onto it like you would your last lifeline. Love is a tower that guards and launches.

There, no failures but you got hard conks for doing it the wrong way. that other; those others.

But one could say, in the widest imagination of the universe, “even love is relative” and then put a rubberstamp that displays the face of Albert Einstein.

It may be good to note that gold is gold in spite of all the embellishments, the alter egos. This tower of Love is Love at its core.

You are welcome to the midday special episode of Good Morning Naija, a MeroëRadio show wey lAkUnLeScReWs bring to you.
