The Embarrassment of Intelligence – continued

The taxi swung out of Ercan Airport in Nicosia, otherwise called Lefkoşa if you are Turkish or a Turkish Cypriot or you just found yourself stuck on the Turkish side where everything Greek has a Turkish name albeit for hundreds of years since the 17th century when the Ottomans led by Barbaros beat all the Greek Cypriots on the northern and southern parts of the island of Cyprus into Turkish Cypriots.

As with revivals, Makarios the archbishop brokered a sense of revolution into the Turkish Cypriots to become Greek Cypriots again when the crisis led to killing of Turks more than Greeks when the Prime Minister of Turkey Bulent Ecevit sent troops to protect the Turks and subsequently declared the Northern part of the Cypriots island a part of the Turkish state; unrecognized by the whole World except Turkey and the United Nations which meant US and UK to in order to be able to carry out business as usual but you can’t go anywhere directly from the island to any other part of the World without first of all transiting through an airport in Turkey. I’m a scar as you will find out and hellbent on always getting what I want by the Grace of God as an optimistic citizen of Las Giddy. In my own case as an Angerian I would even need a visa to transit in Turkey which is not issued because such is unavailable to Niganians and Angerians alike if the ATV correspondent and the Ambassador didn’t come to my rescue.

That is history.

Welcome to the reality and fiction of the story. It all started when a black man got a job in Turkey as a journalist. Not even a full time journalist but a common guest writer if you knew the intention of the Australian editor was just to give an Angerian enthusiastic in his late youth a job and thereby have a companion from the English speaking world to confront the Tramp Zone starting at Eminonu and smelling everywhere you go in Asia Minor and Iran, Syria and Iraq.

Yes the Jews are bad and wrong and that doesn’t make Hamas and Turkey right either.

At the same time, another taxi swang out of the Murtala Mohammed Airport in Lagos and if you had the opportunity to view both events at both airports via Google Maps, the smell and history of filth at both airports could be seen as the complete spectrum of bacterial and viral infections unknown to Man and Medical Science following both taxis to their macabre destinations.

Fortunately, live events speak for themselves: we are not closed and clouded by the often quoted United Nations Human Development Index which would place Nigaria squarely within the frames, rows and columns at the bottom of their hearts which is quite far from free reality as opposed to MAGA or Trumpic Reality seen during the defunct Tea Party era; then move North Cyprus to the level of Turkey as if the Pole Shift at the catastrophic permutation of Pangaea into a combination of continents happened again without our Africa walking up to stand beside Europe to show equal strength and status as a Continent worth her salt and pepper, an event which would never have happened if the former francophone neo-colonized beyond recognition in their poverty stricken natures Sahel states hadn’t kicked out the French and send a message to the United Kingdom that it’s not going to be ‘short changed business’ as usual with Guinea per Sékou Touré, Mali per Modibo Keita, Burkina Faso per Thomas Sankara and Niger per General Tchiani to save the face of Africa that we are still people of the outgoing democracy; that we have work to do like Ogun State until she is changed to Medical State.

Toilet culture is toilet culture and people doing it badly as a National culture in Nigaria and Cyprus fill up the water closet and start shutting on the floor all the way to the door and into the garden of the toilet and the pathway back to the office of the President at Aso Rock there was shit everywhere. At least they proved one thing correctly in both states that they are full of shit.
