Is it really any of our business?

In the grand scheme of things, as we all continue to explore the dog meat saga, let's take a step back and ponder if it’s truly any of our business.

Why are we so fixated on dog meat when we have a bigger bowl of jollof rice cooking  on our national stove?

I mean for one, what are we going to do about  the (cough, cough) FUEL SUBSIDY. How do we still have energy to entertain controversy and drama when our pockets are getting lighter by the day and for some of us, our feet are getting tougher.

Or should we share a moment of silence for the consistent hike in food prices?

While the dog meat saga may have had its 15 minutes of celebrity status, the issues of fuel subsidies and food prices feels like the Beyonce of all celebrities. It genuinely feels like they will be here for a while. 

So, my dears, let's conserve our energies for things that truly matter like…uhm…maybe, TREKKING.

And remember, as we continue to navigate all of the drama that our country brings, let's not forget to sprinkle it all with a healthy dose of humor. Because, let's face it, laughter is the secret ingredient we need to maneuver the tough challenges that this country houses.
