Word on the street is that Nigeria turns 49 tomorrow. Woop-tee-doo!! Feel my excitement? Oh, yeah, it’s in there somewhere. I was going to write an article about Nigeria’s birthday. I was going to write one of those articles – you know the ones that talk about where we’ve been, where we are, where we are going, and what we need to do to get there, but I thought “What the heck!” Today is the last day of September. I don’t want to depress anyone. On that note, enjoy these pictures. I pulled them off Facebook a little while ago. I tell you, I do miss Nigeria. There’s no place like home.
…And they had the nerves to call it Best Driving School. Best compared to which one??? Oh, the horror!
Who/what is more important? The human or the computer? Well, duh! The computer, obviously!
Will the real rider of the bike please raise his/her hand? [Anyone else notice there are cops right behind them?]
Of course, we have to look out for the health of the animals first.
Lonely? No problem! Call 1-800-Adopt-A-Goat today!!!
…And you thought you had to go work hard and all that ish??? Do As I Say Shap Ring is here for you. Naturally, they also do penis and “brest” enlargement. This Alhaji Doctor is a bad boy ooo. He even owns an office and two “gsms.” Business must be good. Wait, a company actually ran this ad in their newspaper?
And when you’re pissed off at the way things are in our country, please …. Be Patience.
JHappy Independence DayJ
P.S. Don’t forget the poll. It’s on the top of the right side bar. Thank you!!

c_u_o says
*smh*
But babe, why isn't there a "none of the above" tick box in the poll?
Jayla says
i need to meet alhaji for brest enlargement o, i think all he will do is press it till the thing gets big ๐
Controversy says
Loooool @ be patience.
Hahaha funny funny.
mizchif says
Ah Vera, you are surprised that the Alhaji ad was actually printed? My dear every encomium or City people or Fame has at least 2 of those ads in every edition.
And i'm sure if you see these people you would wonder why they haven't used the "mystical" powers to make themselves rich.
Vivacious n Chic says
Cos I am a patience person, I had the patient to stop by your blog today. LOL!
Happy Independence, Miss Vee!
Myne Whitman says
Funny pics, don't be surprised if those mopols just collected some ego from the okada man. As for naija post, I will be patience.

justjoxy says
Happy Independence Day y'all!
Vera, thanks for the pics, brings back memories.
We now have similar ads here in the UK o, in the London Metro to be exact, promising all sorts of things. One of them self says no need to pay if you don't get promised results.
I know things will change in Nigeria. I will be patience till they do :).
StR8 UP Desiree'D says
in the words of a friend of mine, "No matter how bad things are, even in the face of hopelessness, I am still proud I am Nigerian…only we can get us out of this mess, denying ur Nigerianess is u fooling urself."
Happy Indy Day … ps, check out my blog, I'm making a comeback (must…blog!)
CaramelD says
Everything else I have seen, but the goat on the bicycle? No wayyyyyyyyy! Too funny!
CaramelD says
PS You gotta love our Country!
Trybes says
Funny bit..That's vintage NIGERIA!!!………LOL
CaramelD says
Oh Vera by the way, I love your show! I have just had the chance to play the links and it is fantastic! Also to hear the voices of fellow bloggers is so fabulous! Keep it up, you have a new fan. I am currently listening and doing boring spreadsheets, making the work go faster.
leggy says
happy independence.and i think a good wife is a lot of things wrapped together.
Rosie says
Oh my! I just had to send the zoo pic around at work. The love it!
Vera Ezimora says
Ms O: S'up babe! Yes oh… I couldn't stop laughing at it either. Look @ how boldly the thing is displayed there.
Miss Jayla: LOL. The power of Twitter. I should do this more often, no?
C_U_O: I didn't want 'none of the above' as an option…or else everyone would have gone the 'none of the above' route. I want everyone to pick something – at least one thing.
Jayla: You know, usually I'd disagree with you, but for this case, I have to agree with you. Nne, you really need to meet this Alhaji Doctor. I have seen your "brests" and yes, an enlargement will suffice. Hehehe.
Controversy: One might call that line quite controversial, ehn? LOL.
Mizchif: Really??? These ads are that common? Amazing. And all this time, I've been suffering myself here tryna make money. Who woulda known that I could just become a Hajia Doctor and all would be well? People would gimme money to give them Do As I Say Shap Ring. LOL.
Vivacious n Chic: LOL!!! I'm very grateful that you're quite a patience person. Imagine what would happen if you weren't so patience? It takes real patient to deal with me ๐
Myne Whitman: I know, right! They probably did collect some money from the okada man (or woman). LOL @ being patience. You all are really having a ball with this one, huh?
Purple Streak says
Honestly, Vee, u can only get berra. Walahi! True to God! Keep up the good (gooder!) werk, hon!

Be patience; i just love Naija!
