Listen my friend...!
Area Boy: I am not your friend
Omosi: Do you know who I am?
Area Boy: Who are you? Are you Langtang mafia?
Omosi: You mean me?
Area Boy: Who else? If you bite nail, I chew bottle
Omosi: My uncle is a Brigadier General; my Senior sister is married to Dangote, and my brother is comptroller general of Customs.....
Area Boys: If you like, let your father control Boko Haram and Wu-Tang Clan.....Who did you help?
Madame Bovidier makes no excuses for her misbehaviors.
her misdeeds are infamous; royalty speaks of her in astounded tones.
is she a relative? An off-blanket cousin? Or character of means unknown?
no one remembers when she first appeared or where she derived from.
her confidence level marches around rooms in steel toed marching boots.
she has the attitude of a brigadier general, and we peons fall into place.
reveling in her self-assurance. Waiting for our next instruction.
she is my honorary auntie, but even grandma fears her.
Dad saluted his great granddaughter Maia on skype
That was memorable for me
Dad was a military man
A Brigadier General
They saluted him and not the other way around.
But to his 5 year old granddaughter
He wheeled himself in front of the computer
And saluted her.
What a wonderful moment!
I'll never ever forget that moment.
