Waffle maker or Wafi maker?

I made my first waffles from scratch today. It wasn't the first time I'd eat waffles. I'd pop frozen waffles bought from Walmart in a toaster and have them for breakfast some years ago. Utah or Texas, I can't quite recall. But I remember a room mate in Salt Lake City made waffles from a store bought mix with an old waffle iron she had found in the apartment. USA is all about mixes, pancake mix, brownie mix, this mix, that mix. Anyway, I made waffles from scratch today and I was very proud of myself. Perhaps, I'm going to compete with the likes of IHOP when Fancies! Juicy Exotica becomes a household name someday. Na me biko.

I can't begin to say how much this country irritates me, think of it as George Orwell's Animal Farm akin to animals in costume trying to become leaders of other animals. Everybody is micromanaging resources here in Nigeria, but NIPOST? That parastatal makes me wonder if we are calling it quits with managing Nigeria. I had gone to the office at Aba to post an application to Effurun for a job with the university. I was assured that I'd get a proof of delivery for the package and I was asked to return the next to pick up the pod. Anyway, I had to pick up a bus ticket to Warri waiting nearly two months to receive the proof of delivery. And to think I had to return to Aba same day, was an annoying feat. I'd go Effurun for the first time to check if mighty NIPOST could deliver my letter. Poor me. It wasn't enough that I borrowed from well meaning Nigerians to mail the applications, make the trip to Effurun, Delta state and even pay extra fare because the car from Warri couldn't make the trip back. Haba! Now, I wonder should I borrow to hire a lawyer and sue NIPOST for liability? Where is the justice in this country where doctorate degree holders are jostling for jobs fresh graduates? Chei! Uwa di egwu. And to think that my application was just the amen a senator's prostitute who's a look alike or the job has been filled and the interview a mere 'formality?' I'm familiar with that concept. Do you blame anybody who chooses this strategy rather than spend millions of Naira conducting futile interviews? Oh! Nigeria.

I believe that Nigeria hasn't lived up to the expectations of her colonial master. We have heavily relied on foreigners who earned a living out of land while our nationals languished in unemployment. Tribal sentiments hold sway in how we choose to do our civil service. Some people bring their papa and church juju to work. Would you like to have sexual knowledge of everybody at work? Tufiakwa!

While I ruminate on whether to sue NIPOST for forcing me to 'walk' down to Effurun to check whether my mail was delivered to FUPRE or not, let me just munch on these waffles that I made. After all, I had to see all the heap of applications in an office to determine to go mind my own business. I'm sorry, I won't share my waffle recipe here, lol.

Pictures later; phone can't upload pictures. PHCN hasn't restored electric to my living area since March. Hmm...what a sham of a nation.
