In Support of The Hydrant

In the next few days, the association of high comrades will be put in a very dire situation after the current inflation in my country finally caught up with them, with the breweries set to increase the price of their products in consonance with prevailing economic conditions. This has sent shockwaves rippling through the streets of major cities with both young and old left wailing.

The government has taken away our freedom of movement by increasing petroleum pump price, they've also taken away food from our table with the inflation that followed the pump price increase. But that on its own isn't a big issue to us, like really, who needs food? All the body needs is air and liquid.

And that's where the problem lies. Air is free, so the government can't take it from us, but the small liquid that used to hydrate our system and also give us comfort from all the hullabaloo around us is being taken away from our reach. The bottle is the only thing that we can open up our feelings to that understands us, comforts us and never judges us.

I mean, it's not the only thing that is being affected, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), are about to pack their bags and leave the country due to their inability to access foreign exchange. But that's not our business, after all, who really takes drugs? Exactly, nobody except hospitalized people who are just government approved drug addicts.

But those folks need to start doing things for themselves, leave their cozy beds and hit the streets to protest, we can't continue to do everything for them. They should come out to blind the roads, cripple the economy and plague the society. Maybe then the government will make enough forex ready so they can be buried in foreign caskets.

But hydration isn't the only thing that we'll be deprived of as we're being thrown into this quagmire, but also the experiences. For example, I'll not get another opportunity at seeing the guy who walked around the whole neighborhood shouting "ukod mmi eh?", "eyem ukod mmi ennoh" which translates, "where's my leg?", "help me find my legs". And yes we spent hours looking for his legs, because the idiot refused to fall asleep.

Or one of my uncle's that came out of his house to sit with us kids and cry. As if that wasn't enough, he forced us to join him in the crying session. When asked why we were crying, he said it was because he found a dead rat in his room, so he felt guilty and was mourning the poor creature. We had to mourn a dead rat for hours, because if you dare not mourn, you might join the rat.

Then there's my guy who after I'd gone home decided to call me with his phone number to ask if I took his phone home because he couldn't find it. I told him to ask the other guys around him and he said that those ones were also busy helping him find the phone. Talk about highness convention.

So I told him to end the call, drop the phone he was using at where he kept his phone, step back and go back there to look for his phone. Few minutes later, he called me back, that he did as I told him and he found his phone.

But above all, I won't get another chance at seeing my guy @nelson-george pimping his sister out and asking his mom's best friend out after a good night out. The audacity alcohol gives you is on a whole other level. The way he shove his mom aside shouting "chill mom" as he turned on his charm at his mom's best friend was epic and a perfect trailer for his death.

But then I could swear that I detected lust in the woman's eyes as my guy kept licking his lips endlessly. They usually say that the end justifies the means, but I know that he will never believe that saying again because the pounding he received the next day did not justify anything. He didn't get laid, but got hungover and pounded like yam.

I might not be one of them, but I believe that as a renowned activist, I should fight for the privileges and wellbeing of the drunken masters of our communities. Let's stop the increase in beer prices.

Hahaha. When I saw the news that the Nigerian brewery has increased the cost of alcohol. I just laughed.

What we need now is to get back out country. The opportunity we had was thrown to the dogs.
