"Good evening sir"
"Ah, Dr. Waziri, please... please come in. Sit down."
"Mr. President,..."
"Musa! Musa! Don't be so formal. Just call me Musa..."
"Yes sir..."
"Do you drink hard drinks?"
"Only wine sir..."
"Ah, European tastes. They'll get you something... sit sit..."
"So how is Nigeria sir...?"
"Do you really care? We hear you are their golden boy in Washington."
"Nigeria will always be my homeland..."
"So come and work for us. We can pay you any amount more than they pay in in America..."
"It's not about the money sir..."
"Ah, what is it about?"
"I am a witness to Democracy. If I stop being a witness, it might cease to exist in history."
"This is an interesting theory."
"Propounded by none other than your cousin, General Shinkafi..."
The President of Nigeria paused. Then nodded slowly. "I see..."
"Sir, I am here as a personal friend of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. It is my
highly valued advice that you stand down immediately. America is a Superpower."
"Dr. Waziri... if what is to be must be then..."
"What is to be must be... I must leave now..."
"Dr. Waziri... Remember Nigeria..."
"I will."

"Hon...?"
"Yes, munchkin?"
"You state, in italics here in chapter fourteen, that Jesus did NOT exist in human form. This is unlike your writing."
"I told you..."
"What's going on?"
"Who ruled the Calendar before Jesus?"
"You mean...?"
"Indeed..."
Jenn raised her left eyebrow, then giggled. "I knew it! I knew it!"
"Shhhh!!!!!"
