Some week!

The fiasco between the enemies of our state and Ribadu sort of kicked off the week. While this hero (my interpretation) was being ‘shamed’ by a set of hired thugs, the people of Thailand were trying to force the prime minister's resignation. Something you wonder why we aren’t doing now. I guess life is too sweet and the idea of wasting time sleeping rough @ the airport isn’t a ‘Nigerian’ thing.

Then there was the ghoulish incident in Mumbai. I still haven’t heard from a couple of my colleagues who I know are in Mumbai, but I am not assuming the worst. Politics and blame trading seems to have taken over an opportunity to knock this one on the head. I just get the feeling that the guys I see on Sky News and Fox are hoping for a war between India and Pakistan.

Meanwhile @ Arsenal, Gallas and the armband did finally part ways. A young Spaniard was made captain – Cesc we can! Yesterday, the changeable season that Arsenal have had saw them see of a mediocre Chelski side 2-1. It was like the good old days when a victory at the bridge was a ‘given’

Back to Nigeria there was the news about baby teething mixture contaminated with diethylene glycol called My Pickin. Diethylene glycol is a toxic substance normally used in engine coolant! About 29 babies are now dead, and many more in hospital.

Armed Robbers are holding the fort in Ibadan taking no notice of the police. Who knows they may send Ridabu there to make haste his absolute disappearance.

And then on Thursday after a lull, religious riots kicked off in Jos, all under the cover of politics – vote rigging by the PDP (another enemy of the state). States as far from Plateau as Anambra, Abia and Imo are on alert – Revenge killings.

Is Yardy awake, you hope so…..

PLS. SPARE A MINUTE TO OBSERVE WORLD AIDS DAY
