Joseph Edgar: A Troublemaker at 54

It was my birthday during the week and I went on an afang eating binge. To hit 54 in this country with our dropping male mortality rate is a milestone o and I celebrated the thing well. I asked my friends to send me cash instead of buying me gifts and they responded massively. They sent me N3 Million with which I rewarded 12 widows with the total cash. Yes, I sent N2 Million to two different widows and N100,000 each to 10 other widows.

I will need their prayers against mid-age wahala that affect men in this our country. At this age, we begin to experience power failure. Yes, it was my brother Patrick Doyle who told me that power failure will begin to be “coming and be going” at this age and na true. Sometimes, I will be like a bull, other times I will be like “point and kill” fish for beer parlour. Then BP and blood sugar will start threatening, if it has not already begun. Then prostate? My people, all sorts o.

They say you must “release” at least 21 times a month to stand a chance against prostate. In this Nigeria of today? Even if you are lucky to have a madam that is ready, will traffic, fuel price, inflation and the rest even allow you to concentrate to make the thing come up?

The most important wahala, is that I do not think there is any madam at that age that will be open to 21 attacks a month.  She will still break your head if you try to hire sub-contractors for the service. It is really a herculean time for the 50 and above male gender in this our country.

Anyways, let me thank all my friends who contributed so much in making these widows to at least have momentary respite. I thank them and God will continue to bless you all for me. Thank you so so much.
