that strong shit

There is always that strong shit, dense and defiant, that refuses to flush no matter how many times you twist the water knob. It just sits there, staring at you like “oga you no serious o!”

You squeeze the knob again for one more flush, hoping the many cycles of water must have weakened it, but whossai.

And then you pick up a full bucket of water, and with all the anger in you, ram it down the toilet bowl, and then it swims, dancing from side to side, while you pray: biko kwa, don’t make me fetch another bucket. And then it circles and disappears.

What's funnier is that you let out a huge sigh of relief afterwards.  Can you imagine? A sigh of relief; that the shit is finally gone.

There was no need for justice to be done in such situation. Those lives did not matter. Unwittingly, he has shown that his classification is in the category of the FFKs of this world: national by face, tribal by mind.

"You work a lot. You have some money, algo dinero. Maybe some beautiful women. But then they leave you, for somebody more handsome, with more dinero than you. When you end up in jail, the ones on the outside, who think they're clean, will insult you, but you will have ruled. They'll hate you, but you'll have bought yourself everything good in life, everything you wanted. You'll have the organisation behind you. It might happen that you suffer some, and maybe they'll even kill you. The organisation backs whoever's strongest, obviously. You can climb mountains with rules of the flesh, blood and money. But if you become weak, if you make a mistake, you're fucked. If you do good, you'll be rewarded, If you make a bad alliance; you're fucked; if you make a mistake in war, you're fucked; if you don't know how to hold on to power, you're fucked. But these wars are permitted. They are allowed. They are our wars. You might win and you mig...
