From the Abuja Telegraph:

According to a goverment poll of over 4000 Nigerian goats, 79% of the goats surveyed believe this weeks increase in oil was not influenced by recient MEND activities or pipeline explosions. The other 21% had no comment.

Mr. 2012,

This may come as quite a shock butWhippets are quite fashinable in Lagos

Of course Mr Whippet is probably a white male in real life. It should be noted there is a segment amoungst the ruling elite that would like to see whites led around on leashes. On to the real issue:Wars over Global Warming.

We, the proud peoples of Nigeria have no doubt westerners are quite vocal over the issue and the possible future. However to say will be fought over CO2 emissions is not agreeable with this Nigerian. While I hear cries for global warming coming out of many mouths I know it is oil that goes in and fills your bellies. Now thats not to say Global warming enforcement will not happen. See now in Nigeria we are men of either violence and graft. I see the later being the probable aim in Global warming. To graft Westerners with burdensom tarriffs and taxes leaves this Nigerian breathless.

For his question Mr 2012 will recieve a pair of tickets to the Abuja Theater's rendition of Jesus Christ Superstar from Ask a Nigerian's Groovy Grab Bag of Swag

Nigerian,

What are the major holidays in your country?

Here in the U.S. we have Memorial Day, the 4th of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years Day.

We also have sort of a second tier of holidays, which include Columbus Day, Veterans Day, MLK Day and Presidents Day. Halloween and Valentine's Day are also fun.

What are some of the recreational activities that you enjoy doing on holidays?

Mr Tex,

We have many holidays you westerner's have plus a few of our own. In fact just a few days ago Nigeria celebrated Childrens day. Many of the teachers used the day off to protest unfair wages and working conditions set by the goverment. They were met and dispersed by way of police baton. This is the usual routine for all major holidays in Nigeria.

For his question Mr.Tex wil recieve a Lego Nigerian Steet riot playset from the Ask a Nigerian! Groovy Grab Bag of Swag

For your enjoyment and saftey, this Nigerian recomends you only light the lego tires under the supervision of an adult.

Dear Mr. Nigerian,

I am seeking employment advice. What employment do you suggest for a woman in the low-energy future? I prefer not to have to work too hard, of course.


Thank you for your time.


PS, I am probably too old to be successful as a prostitute.

Ask a Nigerian

Dear Ludi,

It should come as no surprise that Nigerian women differ greatly from those of most American women. What may be surprising is that since pre-colonial days women retained certain economic opportunities within the social system. In fact, before the 1960, Nigerian women traditionally played a more significant role in society than did western women. Traditional or tribal society in Nigeria expected women to be wage earners in the family. They labored in farming, fishing, and commerce (for instance, pottery, cloth-making, and craft work) alongside Nigerian men. In fact, women traditionally had the right to profit from their work, although the money usually served as a contribution to the family income. This economic freedom was much different from many western societies, where women had to fight for the right to work. These traditions still survive in modern Nigeria and will survive once we cut America off from our oil.

That being said I see many opportunities for women in a post crash America. I see women as merchants, farmers, and confidence (wo)men. In your case I have noted your extensive knowledge in the feild of permaculture and poulty production. Perhaps you can use this knowledge in a rathe unique way. If you can't appeal to your countrymen's greed, than you most certainly can appeal to his belly. Send out a mass email similar to this.


Dear________:

I represent a large acerage of organic food. This land has yeilded more than an abundance of organically raised chicken, carrots, squash, wheat, ice cold coca colas, Doritos, and microwave burritos(most americans will not question your assertion that microwave burritos, Doritos, and cokes grow out of the ground) to which I am willling to share with you. To do this I need to purchase a large amount of fuel to bring this bounty to market. With your assistance I am willing to depart with 10% of my goods. I simply ask for your credit card #, amount of availabile credit left, and your mother's maiden name to expidite our business. Once this is has been confirmed my assistant will contact you as to where to pick up the goods.

Respectfully Yours,

Miss Ludi

Dear Mr. Nigerian,

First of all, I'm not sure about your new identification photo. What happened to your donkey cart-bearing assistant? We have similar assistants here in Alaska; except here we use dogs.

Secondly, I have a question to ask you about financial issues. I hear that Nigerians are very savvy about financial asset management. I bought some gold earlier this year on the advice of people at peakoil.com. Now I'm wondering whether I made a mistake. I have actually lost money on my investment in the last three months. I wonder if I should sell my gold and buy something else? And how do I sell the gold? And what should I buy?

Thank you in advance for your assistance in this matter.

Mr Iaato,

Thank you for your concern. Regarding my new avatar, I have become a victim of my 3rd son Ojie's impish behavior. He and his naughty friends have discovered my Nikon digital camera. They thought it would be a great source of amusement to take photo of my second son Ayo's reaction to being photographed while on the toilet.

Ojie is on the run from his brother who is chasing him with a stout police truncheon. Anyways, On to your question.

There has been much discussion about the price of gold. Bribery and political markers are my trade of stock, not gold. You will be pleased to discover that oil disruptions in Nigeria seem to have a direct outome on the price of gold.

http://news.goldseek.com/GoldSeek/1208867782.php

I have it on good authority from Mr Ebay Okowo that more disruptions are scheduled as the year progresses.

For his question Mr Iaato will recieve a bag of grain from the overloaded and overturned truck. Courtesy of the Ask A Nigerian's Groovy Grab Bag of Swag

No that's not rat feces mixed with the grain. It's asphalt from the road. Sorry!

Many thanks to Mr. Nigerian from Ms. Binky. But I gave you a set-up and all I got was some rat-turd infested wheat? That didn't taste like asphalt, by the way.

Best regards to your sons Ojie and Ayo. I hope they don't do too much damage to each other.

Mr. Nigerian,
I know there are men in your country who point guns at
other people and look thuggish. But do they also spout
bizarre, 10 dollar words when they bully and insult you?

I don't mind being hassled at gunpoint or having
a word geek dose me with multisyllabic slime, but
I just can't take both at the same time.

If you don't have men like this in Nigeria, I still don't
want to move there, but I would like to offer you an
immigrant who goes by three initials and fits all the
criteria I have mentioned here.

I am jabbing some air holes in a 55 gallon drum and
will pay tramp steamer freight for him from the US.
His day job is a moderator, and I am sure you can use
a moderator over there in Nigeria. A moderator who points
a gun at you and spews big ass insulting words out like
a chicken manure truck going through a hay field.

Dear Mr. Nigerian

Can you apply your wisdom here? I need your assistance. An American farmer decided to make sport of my good name. For no apparent reason, other than maybe that the whole point of the forum in which you bring us your sagacity is to make sport of others, he gratuitously and unprovoked suggested that I may suffer from the female monthly affliction. This is not possible as I am a male but it afforded me the opportunity of an erudite put-down of my own in justified, in my opinion, retaliation. So now this pusillanimous farmer says that I'm a bully. So here is where I would like your thoughts, if the farmer accuses me of bullying does that mean I won the contest?

thanks for your consideration,

Ask a Nigerian

Dear esteemed Men of the Tribe of Doom,

Am I correct that you conflict is with each other(PMS vs. Efarmer)?

In underdevelopment in poor countries like Nigeria is micro nationalism, ethnic, religious and communal conflicts which, pose great threat to peace, security and progress.

The breakdown of such vehicles of social control as the family education, law, religion and the political system has increased ethnic and communal conflicts. The inability of many homes to make ends meet with the family income tends to increase immorality, broken fatherless/motherless homes, divorces and drunkenness, leading to street fights.

That being said, might I ask what is the state of your financial enterprises? If you are not making the kind income of befitting a mighty dignitary, I say the root of your conflict is not with each other. You are suffering as most Americans are suffering because your country is close to collapse. You must take steps to secure your financial status when Nigeria cuts off America from her oil.

To keep the peace, I am going to have to go the Ask A Nigerian's! Groovy Grab Bag:Select Reserve . Both of you will recieve copies of my new financial book on cassette On Ja gin me de money!-The fine art of graft . Learn this Nigerian's proven secrets for succesful.

Hey, Mr. Nigerian, we don't really have the problems, yet, of real scarcity. The farmer is cooing love words and it's clear that no real hostility is playing out here. I fear for your country where everybody steals, but then again, everybody steals here too. All the money stolen from my paychecks through the years is gone. Pensions, Social Security, etc., it's all gone or soon to be. So what do I do, should I max out credit and then default? I'm thinking, the end is nigh, so should I use credit cards to pay for gas and food? I don't have any equity to seize, I have a high FICO. Should I cash in the game now?
