The Flintstones go to St Lucia
Err...I'm sure you must have heard about our Freddie's pedalo exploits.. well, if you're either on Mars or even worse aren't a Cricket fan, then I'll try and forgive you.
Basically, Freddie Flintoff, playing for England in the Cricket World Cup, bummed off one night with some of his mates, breaking Camp rules, got drunk into the early hours culminating in falling off a pedalo in the sea and having to be rescued.
I say no more, England's winning mentality rears its ugly head, words fail me. Sadly my partner in Cricket crime -Young Boniface is no longer at hand. All I shall say is this, Freddie was simply acting out his namesakes part. Don't forget he's Freddie Flintoff- named after the far more intelligent Fred Flintstone. As for the pedalo, well have you noticed the similarity with Fred Flintstones car, its too frightening to be true, I leave you to judge.
Seriously though, what is it about prodigiously talented British sportsmen, George Best and Gazza coming to mind. I would however ask my auusie friends not to get shirty, after all Ricky Ponting was caught with his nose in a Vat a few years back and like this instance discipline was strictly enforced.
Boys!

Hi, I happened on your blog and I kept scrolling down... I thought it wasn't going to end. Yes, I found it quite informative although I certainly couldn't read everything (am supposed to be at work.)
From the things you write, I get the feeling you're very old,(for people of my generation, 40's ancient.)I most especially like the post on legitimately succesful Nigerians abraod. Do us all a favour by promoting it well across the www cos Nigeria's image is becoming increasingly dented by the activities of a mere fraction of the entire population.
As for the Omoiguis( hope i got the spelling), I'm happy for them, but do you think things would have turned out that way for them if they'd had to survive in the present day Nigeria? Take a look at this scenario:
Your father's a hardworking, honest Nigerian who works hard to take care of his family. He sends you to Federal Govt College,Ogbomosho or Govt. College, Ibadan( he really cannot afford to send you to Atlantic Hall or Adesoye's). Several times during your secondary eduation, you come home on compulsory hols because teachers are on strike; they've not been paid 4 months' salaries. When you're not at home, you're drumming on your desks in class, while your classmates are dancing. Why, your teachers are too busy trading in order to supplement their meagre income.
YOu sit for JAMB and score 236/400. Good score! Only that some others bought thequestions before the exam and so scored 350. Resultantly, the cut-off for your choice score is way to high. While you ponder whether to sit for another JAMB or settle for a course you don't like, your neighbour, whose father knows the vice- chancellor gets admitted for the same course with a Jamb score of 203. You spend 7 years in school for a 4 year course because of ASUU strikes. You graduate and employers say if you're above 24, do not bother applying. Meanwhile, your roommate in Bello hall, who graduated with a 3rd class and whose uncle is the chairman, Senate commitee on Petroleum manages to get a job in Mobil Oil Producing...who says foriegn coys don't want govt favours....
Tell me, is this the same Nigeria you grew up in?
The answer is no, you're absolutely right, it'd have been difficult but not impossible to survive. Our determined spirit as Nigerian's is what keeps us going and lots of young people are coming through inspite of the obstacles, all we can do is hope and pray that something gives, like you it breaks my heart, hence pray is all one can do. Thanks very much for reading and by the way I'm not ancient, I'm err..only 40, much love and please stop by again.
