But that aside, it&#8217;s obvious with no stretch of the imagination, that there is too much &#8220;eating&#8221; going on in this country. Yes, some dont have enough to it while others are making up for them by eating 3,4,5 time their share in food.<br \/>\nAnd what have we got to show for all these over-eating and over-eaters? More frequent trips to the hospital (for those who can afford it), huge obscene bellies and thick cellulosic thighs and upper arms.<br \/>\nAnd what in all that&#8217;s holy is a &#8220;love handle&#8221;? Ok, maybe because I havent got any &#8220;love&#8221; in my life, that&#8217;s why I cant appreciate love handles. But frankly, ladies with love handles need not apply &#8211; unless you are of course Abacha&#8217;s daughter (think no more need for chasing after multiple streams of income!) in which case a justifiable exception may be made.<br \/>\nSo I am starting an NGO (still searching for the right name) and our first campaign will be named &#8220;eat less, stay blessed&#8221;. Our goal is to redistribute the eating a little more equally. Like the French&#8217;s constitution states: &#8220;Libert\u00e9, \u00e9galit\u00e9, fraternit\u00e9&#8221; (for all people in all things).<br \/>\nAll these talk of eating has made me hungry, so before I really get in the fray, excuse me for a minute while I grab a bite to eat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Like all good Nigerians (in the know), an NGO is a good multple source of income.
