Complex...

That's what the human race is...
yesterday, i was exposed to the working of the Nigerian mind - it can be a lesson in mind numbing inhumanity...
I'm told that eight in ten accidents that occur are hit and run, the exceptional two in ten are an anomily that can be explained:

One of those two was caught before he could get away and the other had a crisis of conscience when he thought that the person he hit had died...
That only provides irrefutable proof that life approaches the limits of utter uselessness...

Enough about the bad (as if)- recently, our government has increased the price of premium motor spirit(Fuel) by almost ten naira(as a frame of reference: a dollar(1$) is about 145 naira). The irony is that the major export item of the said country is fuel and the economy is based on this sole item of export and as a show of good faith and 'concern' they(government) are gradually removing the subsidy on fuel (which as u are aware, we produce) equally, the budget for 2004 was based on an estimate of 28$ per barrel of crude but for the past one month(estimate) the price of a barrel of crude on the international market has gone up to 40$...(how's that for connecting the dots!) - a lesson in sensitivity!

By the way, how does one live a morally responsible life without conflict with the society - is it really possible?
