My exams were fine thank you (I did not get even one fan mail to ask me why
I had not written in a while.. Is that how horrible a writer I am?)

Anyway, I have been away. Busy in my last lap at the Nigerian Law School
(There it is!  Whether you care to know or not.)

I finally concluded my Bar final examinations and I congratulate myself!  I
am grateful to God that I did not break down and my hope is in Him alone for
a good result!  (.To all you Nigerian Lawyers out there, if this is what you
went through, then I respect you big time!)

It was no easy task for me!

Rumours have it that two female bar finalists were caught carrying
"metaphysical implements" (.for those of us who are lost, JUJU.) into the
examination hall - that was how tough it was!

Anyway, ALL that is over now!  The full gist of Law School, its betrayals,
the stress, the love and all the works will form an article for another day.

I am back in Port Harcourt and I came back to meet a mini civil war! 
Thankfully, I have not experienced first hand any shooting (I only hear
shots from a distance) but I have had my own fair share of the effects of
this war!

The soldiers who are to serve and protect with integrity (.or is that the
police?...) are doing just that.  They are unabashedly extorting a minimum
of 50 Nigerian Naira from every commercial vehicle and a little over double
of that from unfortunate private ones.

For those going into areas like "Mile1", your bus (or car) MUST stop, you
alight and walk about 3km with your hands high above your head.

Onyinye, a female 22year old occupant of my house (.very unlikely to be a
cultist.), was asked to roll in muddy water because she lowered her hands
just a bit.

I say, WELLDONE soldiers!  You are indeed doing a fine job!

.Last week, the new minister of works, (GOD BLESS HER) took a trip to the
east via the Lagos - Benin Road and saw what some of us have suffered for
long over 4 years.  The interesting thing was not her discovery, it was her
immediate action!  Presently, those roads are being fixed and I have heard
from my sources that they are already much better than they have ever been
in the last 3 years.
Bravo Ally Madueke!

.I  realize that if I stop here, the article will be too short for
publication so I will add one more issue for determination (.don't I just
sound so lawyerly already?...)

I confess!  I am in Church right now and while I am not receiving Holy
Communion, I should be sitting piously (like a good Catholic), staring at
the altar longingly!
