30ty Minutes

A number that is not saved in my phone calls me... It is a man. He says, Pita, ni mwalimu... umeshindaje? I tell him niko fiti. He asks, unanikumbuka? ni mwalimu... unanijua...? Ni mwalimu... he insists...

I keep quiet for an awkward minute, realize he wants me to guess who he is... But I am old, and I don't play stupid games... plus almost half my villagemates are teachers. If a ten-year-old boy threw a stone in my village, he would hit a teacher regardless of the direction he threw it in... even if he threw it at fishermen, there would be a teacher in there.

So, I summon my calm voice and tell him, can you just introduce yourself, so we can talk properly? Next thing, he cuts the call. Probably feeling insulted.

Ego is the enemy... To assume that people should know you even when you can tell they are clearly struggling is nuts.

After Nigeria’s consumer protection agency, the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC), issued a $220 million fine against WhatsApp and its parent company, Meta, in July, the popular messaging app is considering whether or not to withdraw from the country.

The fine followed a joint investigation by the FCCPC and the Nigeria Data Protection Commission, that found that the platform violated data privacy measures by sharing user information with other Meta companies. The report’s findings also alleged that the “Meta Parties” engaged in invasive and abusive practices against data consumers.

This whole Diddy white party events and the complicity of the attendees and their silence have got me wondering what kind of as***le attends these s**t:

I've often thought it must take a special kind of daft or insecure adult to attend a party or event where they insist you dress a particular way and you voluntarily go looking for a black dress or white suit or denim trousers so you can wear it to the party... Some even go buying the stuff specifically for the party.

Looking at how the Diddy white party attendees have been abused and sodomized and blackmailed and bullied into silence for years... you got be a special kind of stupid to be told to dress a particular way because the event organizer said wear all white.

It has often bothered me... how do thugs decide what hour to strike, when they are out robbing? It is one of those nonsensical questions... Like how do they decide they will break in at 2.00am on a Saturday and not at 5.00am on a Friday?

Anyway... for the past 3 or so hours, it has been raining where I live. So at some point before 5pm, I look out of my kitchen window and this guy in a black trouser, black jacket and black cap is walking along one of the fences of the plots of land behind my building. I pay him no mind... he is next to the fence, seemingly not moving.

Then out of curiosity, I look keenly and realize he has not moved for like 10 minutes and weirdly, his right hand keeps swinging from left to right. So I tell my self...ngoja, kuna maneno hapa...

Then I see that he is unfurling barbed wire from the poles and moving from one pole to the next. The dude, in the middle of the rain, was stealing barbed wire... rolling it with bare hands🤣😂😆, probably to sell it for scrap metal sheet or he already had a goat herder buyer lined up... someone looking to fence their goat farm.

Then I had a moral decision to make... do I whistle and stop him or let him steal the damn thing...

Me... from Uyoma... mmhh... I decided to ogwang' chamo to tho rome. Let the bu**er get as much barbed wire as he could... Coz really, he was already singing for his supper; the rain and the barbed wire on raw hands etc.
