What could I do without taking some beer? The secret of my survival in this wicked world, especially this our Nigeria is nothing but beer. 

If you want to make me really happy, just buy me a beer. In fact, if you could do that, I will be forever happy with you. 

Culturally, when our fathers quarrelled, and they finally settled, the proof of forgiveness was normally drinking alcohol together. 

In some cases, from the same cup! 

I don’t do ogogoro, neither do I  do drugs. However,  as a confirmation of my beer drinking, I can boast that I rarely get intoxicated. I’m so used to beer and vice versa. 

I’m a Christian but I’m not a fundamentalist. In other words, anywhere prayers are being said, I’m always there. 

It doesn’t matter if the medium is a Muslim or a traditional worshipper. I believe God is one. So, it doesn’t matter how and where we call him. 

I’m not a scientist, but I am told that beer is proteinous. So, if anyone lacks proteins, let them take some beer. 

Furthermore, if someone has a lot to think about, they could do it over a bottle of beer. You know, in some earlier posts, I  wrote that I was thinking of suicide. 

That’s true. 

However, when I thought of whether or not I would get beer to drink over there,  my courage failed me. 

So here I am! 

There are cases, where, as a man, a person  would be getting frustrated by madam. That could be true for a person who is a teetotaler. But if you’re in the club of beer drinkers, you will just drink your frustration out. 

Talking of frustrations, I won’t lie to you. There have been many occasions where I just got fed up with everything. When I say everything, I mean everything.  However, I chose to drink out the frustration through beering. 

In some cases, beer could be some problem. I am a living witness. I lost a job through discrimination against beer drinkers.  

MA muti laye nbi 

Boya won kii mu lorun 

I no no person!
