I heard.....

"....many things that happen in Nigeria are so unbelievable that they could very easily be misconstrued as fiction. Recently, I heard about a house that caught fire in Aba. Because the Fire Service arrived after the house had been completely razed by the fire, an angry mob made their way to the fire station and burnt the fire station down! That is the sort of thing that happens only on the pages of novels or in soap operas, but in Nigeria, those sorts of incidents happen every day."-(Adaobi Nwabauni interview)
-I wasnt sure if I should be proud at the community spirit or mad at the shortsightedness*sigh*
