Lady Jokes

He blames the Nigerian President for not getting a properly educated woman as wife, you see, in his opinion, the security situation in the Nigeria is largely this; That the president married a semi literate woman. I should really keep these things to myself (maybe next time), but I held the next metal pole I could find, for extra support, (so he could push me down in anger) and typed a response;

'Aren't you forgetting your history, my dear, if not for an illiterate woman, would you be here typing this version of your cure to the Nigerian situation''?

I struck the wrong cord, it was too accurate a question as his mother didnt go to school too. So I apologised for having reminded him that his parent could barely read and write or speak English too. I felt sorry. I doubt that he saw my point beyond the sting.

 People need to stop with the 'semi literate Nigerian First Lady' jokes. Instead of making them seem like the educated smart mouths who can call out the stupid ones, they actually sound pretty stupid to me too. There are very important questions and things Nigerians should be asking and talking about. People making these jokes sound like insensitive prats, making fun of the emotions of another person while serious issues of mass deaths and kidnapping/child trafficking and possible sex slavery are the very issues people should be concerned with right now.
