All this for N100...

Its pretty hard to get books in Nigeria - there isnt much of a culture of reading. However for a mere N100 you can buy choose from an array of text message books. Useful for wooing or stalking your beloved. Here are some of my favourites:

Love is like an hourglass, with the heart filling up as the brain empties, now I see why I've been senseless with you. I wish I wasnt so much of a fool for you.

It takes 3 seconds to say I love you. 3 hours to explain it and a lifetime to prove. It took all my tears to loose you.

If you give me your kiss for breakfast, your hug for lunch and your love for dinner, I promise you will never catach me eating elsewhere because I have no reason to do so.

You are like antibiotics
Your smile is like analgesic
Your touch is anti-inflammatory
Your presence is antiseptic
Your sms is anti-pyretic...
Thats why I never fall ill!

And a special message for all my Niaja neighbours...

Dear God, bless those who call me; erase the credit of those who only flash me; and for all those who dont call me at all, may they loose their handsets to area boys. Amen.
