NAIJA Too Much....... Abeg!

After having dug to a depth of 10 meters last year, German scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 100 years and came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network more than 100 years ago.

Not to be outdone by the Germans, in the weeks that followed, English scientists dug to a depth of 20 meters around London, and shortly after, headlines in the UK newspapers read: ’ English archaeologists ha ve found traces of 200 year old copper wire and have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network a hundred years earlier than the Germans.’

With this worldwide interest in telecommunication archaeology, few weeks later, a team of Naija archaeologists (i..e. Abubarkar, Ugochukwu and Bamikole), reported the following in the internationally acclaimed GSM Operators Journal: ’After digging as deep as 300 meters in the hills and valleys surrounding Abuja, Ife, Sokoto and Enugu, we found absolutely nothing.

Naija archaeologists then therefore concluded that 300 years ago our ancestors had already gone wireless.’

How old are you?

A woman walked up to a little old man rocking in a chair on his porch.

”I couldn’t help noticing how happy you look,” she said. ”What’s your secret for a long happy life?”

”I smoke three packs of cigarettes a day,” he said. ”I also drink a case of whiskey a week, eat fatty foods, and never exercise.”

”That’s amazing,” the woman said. ”How old are you?’

”Twenty-six,” he said.
