SLUMDOG MILLIONNAIRE…way not to go.

where on earth did they get this keke maruwa?

Finally, Latika and Salim have roofs over their heads. But abeg, Indians fell my hand. Did it have to take so long before the mayor could take the initiative? We were tired of seeing small Salim’s confused face on CNN, standing in front of rusty corrugated iron sheets, lying in a heap behind him-remains of his father’s house. Then we were greeted with the police’ brutality towards small latika’s dad when he protested against the demolishing of his house by the government. These kids were truly homeless for weeks.

don't u just looooove dis boy...?fantastic!

"its a shy one...and since when was there a limit on a crap?"

It is cases like this that make me proud of being a Nigerian. Yes, we have a tendency to over do things some times, if not most, but showing appreciation …deserved and undeserved, is our forte. I can imagine Slumdog Mumbai being Ajegunle and our own Isiakas and Morufs were starred. Then the Oscars came home. It’s not hard to imagine what would follow. Eaglets and the Late Yemi Tella’ episode sets a precedent.

Governors falling over themselves to host the kids, huge sums of cash being donated by individuals, corporate bodies and government officials. Scholarship awards, brand, spanking, new houses, at least in Govt. estates. Those kids and their families will never live normal lives anymore. Trust us for naija; they can even give chieftaincy titles…gulp! Alright, I have made my point.
