A rush of blood to the head in my case will MOST DEFINITELY = a burst blood vessel after 2 or 3 unjust harassment by these fools that call themselves FRSC people. I just wonder when the police, army and traffic control departments will be sanitized of bloody illiterates and of course when we Nigerians will learn to obey traffic rules. Even zebra crossings aren't obeyed in this yeye country. I tire oh!

Anyway on first sighting and then reading your latest posting, two thoughts first flashed to my mind. The first: is TRAE now a rock/Coldplay fan like me? Which came as an instant reponse to the title of your post. And secondly, the word Palaver. It was during my secondary school days, when I first read the usage of the word in the book, "Because I Was Involved" by C. Odumegwu-Ojukwu, that I learnt the word was actually of English or European origin than of Nigerian vernacular/pidgin English origin as I believed before I read that book. The meaning of the word Palaver is somewhat but not totally different when used in when used in English language context than when used in local Nigerian language context, just as the spelling is. It's Palava in Nigerian local languages context. With these understood, you can now see the reason why it flashed to my mind. It is because my mind objected to calling what you went through, "Wahala" but rather saw it as a clear combined case of Palaver and Palava. Indeed the two experiences surely leads to some vital lessons being learnt. Please bear with the Nigerian life!!! Are we witnessing the return of the TRAEzured one to full time blogging?
