Land of the Free and the home of the....

SOMETIMES DENSE. When the show ' AMERICA'S DUMBEST CRIMINALS' aired, i began to wander. Are there really people that stupid in this life? Is it the air they breathe or their environment that makes them think they can get away with anything? Or do some of the people just live in a bubble?

I came to a conclusion. Same as naija, the US of A has an overpopulation problem. Only when there are too many people can the stupid really be in high numbers. Think of it as 1 in 10 over millions.

Okay okay enough raving and ranting already. The gist is that 2 men ages 65 wheeled their dead colleague to a store to cash his $355 Social Security check. We are not talking thousands here o!! And this occurred in broad daylight where they were very visible. They could not even do a good job of covering the man's body cause he was visible dead to anyone who cared to glace. At their age!!!!! Ki no wo ro? (What were they thinking?).

The men, both 65, were petty criminals with long histories of heroin addiction and arrests dating to the 1960s. Has the long drug use fried their brains and given them a sense of alternate reality?

The story was just tooo weird for words and i thought it deserved a mention. My own is that although i am not judging, people should stop accusing naija people of fraud and all cause i have not heard of a naija person taking a dead body to go and claim money (Especially such an amount which is basically unworthy of any crime). We have our own kurukere in the closet but i don't believe we are that bad.

All nationalities, black, red, green, or blue all have their bad eggs. Can we stop concentrating on these bad ones and look to the good? Let's begin to see how much we in our differences have contributed to the world.

Well i am off to return for my holiday update 2. Unbiased over and out. lol!!
