One word for Akpors this time?


Akpors decided to go sight seeing with his friend Emeka. They loaded up Emeka’s minivan and headed east. After driving for a few hours, they got caught in bad weather. They pulled into a nearby farm and asked the attractive
woman who answered the door if they could spend the night there.
WOMAN: “I realize it’s a terrible weather out there and I have this huge house all to myself, but I’m recently widowed,” she explained. “I’m afraid the neighbours will talk if I let you stay in my house.”
AKPORS: “Don’t worry, We’ll be happy to sleep in the barn. And if the weather breaks, we will be gone first thing tomorrow morning.”
The woman agreed, and the two men found their way to the barn and settled in for the night. Come morning, the weather had cleared, and they got on their way. They enjoyed a great weekend of sight seeing.
After about six months, Emeka got an unexpected letter from a Lawyer. It took him a few minutes to figure it out, but he finally determined that it was from the Lawyer of that attractive widow he had met on that sight seeing weekend.
He went to his friend Akpors and asked,
EMEKA: “Akpors, do you remember that good-looking widow from the farm we stayed at on our sight seeing holiday up east about six months ago?”
AKPORS: “Yes, I do.”
EMEKA: “Did you, er, happen to get up in the middle of the night, go up to the house and pay her a visit?”
AKPORS: “Well, um, yes,” a little embarrassed about being found out, “I have to admit that I did.”
EMEKA: “And did you happen to give her my name instead of telling her your name?”
Akpors’ face turned sour and he said,
AKPORS: “Yes, look, I’m sorry, Emeka. I’m afraid I did. Why do you ask?”.
EMEKA: “She just died and left everything for me.”
What would you do if you were Akpors?

What African Leaders should not do to save their Economies after COVID-19

Originally published on Herald Newspaper.   “When men attain power, they go crooked.” This piece is coming from an author, I, and the introductory quote is quite dubious enough but the truth is perpetually bitter. To open the curtain on this important discussion, I would like to congratulate several African leaders on the various precautionary measures they have instigated to hamper the raging spread of this plague. They should know that this is the dawn of a new era and certainly not the time to cast aspersions on who bears the onus or play politics on the suffering proletarians. Those residing in the hinterlands have successfully lost their sources of livelihood as almost every country has embarked on complete lockdown. The private sector, considered as elites, are even battling on how to pay their employees who are now on official vacation. The government as a whole cannot import their needs and have to dig into their reserves to try to keep every Tom, Dick, and Harr...
