Diary of a cow! – Adewale Sobowale

The loud silence that’s coming from the sons of men in Nigeria is alarming!

Man, we don’t even know what they are planning.

But, at least we’re happy to have some peace and fewer casualties.
You know if the election they held on Saturday had been without hitches, some of us might have lost our lives by now. And it would have been a continuous process. They would have even imported some of our brothers from the north.

I think some of the parties are going to court.

Ah…that’s for the better.

Did you expect the two opposition parties to come together as one when they were protesting against the electoral commission’s decision?

By the way, I hear Mahmood Yakubu is an Owu man.
Ah…
How could he have made the announcement in the wee hours, if he isn’t?

Have you forgotten that a part of the Owu panegyric is “the child of a person doing evil in the wee hours?”

Yes o!

But he’s a Hausaman from Bauchi.
So what? Was it not alleged that the former president who now preoccupies himself with letter-writing is an Igbo man?

Anyway, I’m just too happy that their election went that way. You see, sons of men have a saying that if the skull of one of us who they call animals doesn’t get mashed the cheeks of a man won’t be sweet.
I guess the joke is now on them.

My prayer is that they won’t resolve the matter for a long time. I know they will eventually do.

But, let’s enjoy the respite for now!

You know one of their sayings actually praises us, “the cow is trying a butcher’s knife is not enjoyable.”
