NIGERIA: NIGERIAN 101 - Wash and Dash

These are the two words that most foreigner (oyinbo) would caught off guard when in Nigeria. 

The first one is wash, it does not reflect the actual act of cleaning for wanting a hygienic environment and the other one is dash, has anything to do with running or sprinkling small quantity  seasoning into cooking. 

Washing

Let us take a closer look at wash or washing. 

Scenario 1: Ademola just got his first wheel after saving enough money to buy one by saving his .... Later that day, he brought his mom and dad (btw he is still single) to an eatery where they ate and celebrate his success and pray for more success in the future.

Scenario 2: Madam just turned 40! A big milestone in her life and since she is 'Madam', powerful and influential in its own right; decided to pull the stops and celebrate with her colleagues at office. On her birthday, she bought packed foods, cakes and drink for everyone in the department and selected few outside the group. 

MADMAN's I MEAN MADAM's BIRTHDAY!!!!!

Today, August 14 is Madam's birthday!!!

Since it was not disclosed in her FB the year of birth, I cannot tell you. But with certain amount of "donation" (another topic, altogether)..I could tell you how old she is this year. Chances are, she would say 19. Trust me.

Met her in Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur campus in 1997 and stuck with her ever since. 

I think this picture is nice... I mean no relation to this posting or Madam
being fierce etc etc in office..hahahahahah

Today is her day..luckily got her present just before Eid in Malaysia (her first Pandora). So no problem there....phew!!!

Anyway, to her office colleagues... lucky you to have her as  your boss, manager, mentor or whatever you fancy calling her. Well, I MARRIED HER. Just imagine the stress!!! hahahahahahaha.... 

Again, Happy Birthday Madam!!!!!
