Grammer

In the Safari Children's book 2 which I passed through in 1982 while in class 5 I remember this short story about Simon Makonde. He was born on a Sunday, named on a Monday, Married on a Tuesday, taken ill on a Wednesday, treated on a Thursday, died on a Friday and was buried on a Satrday.

That was in Kenya years ago. Ishola now asks Maragia if he has heard of someone called Igwe Chukwu. Then he goes through the short sad story of Igwe Chukwu somehow similarly to Simon Makonde's only that while Simon Makonde's events took place over a lifetime spanning years, Igwe Chukwu's was a one week life. He says that it is a famous Nigerian rhyme.

'On a Saturday' is not the same as 'On Saturday'.

It was abouot learning English in 1982.

Chicken Come To Roost

One may want something very badly and when it will be incidental in the future the waiting can be very enthusiastic. It has been a first project for many here and I can see in their faces reflections of anticipation as June 1st approaches. But more has been about the events that have culminated to this evening.

I can consider questions or relevance to want to know how much who will say 'I did this or that in this project' or so to claim a stake.

it was environmental (enviromenta) day in Nigeria as it was the last Saturday of the month. On this day no movement outside homes is allowed as the country should be cleaning and taking care of environment between 7 am and 10 am. It means the earliest you can leave your hme is 10.01 am. So we were late because of that. Then at the project systems started failing and literally we put in less thann 2hours work between 12 noon and 10 pm.

People always move aroound with each seeming to be doing something. But you wonder what would happen if Maragia was to pick his bag and take a flight tosave himself from cholesterol. It matters waht people think but there are those who don't think at all. I did not eat good food again but the people concerned still beleive they give me food that I enjoy eating. I do not eat pepper spiced foods and sauce-wetted chicken - but thats what I would get.

Sometimes a short cut can be long - very long.

But I am happy Luckson have since seen the sence and now realize thata non systematic approach to ERP implementation can cause hiccups. It is true now that I was right all along from the beginning. That building blocks can really make a solid client base if they are well laid. So far though, our patches are sporadically working. But you know we are still trying to swim ashore.

Eventually the chicken must come home to roost and certain questions must be asked.
