OUR OWN SANTA ONLY SHARES MONEY - LOTS OF IT

Well, it seems the identity of Santa is not much of a secret this year. It also seems that Santa is not into gifting kids this year too, but older men and women - politicians mostly (although we cannot really understand the yardstick for his decision completely).

What's even more interesting is Santa's policy to forget the days of miniature gifts boxed beautifully and sometimes in such a way as to conceal its identity - this year Santa had decided to come out straight and unbox it all on the pages of our national dailies.

Still don't know who Santa is? Another clue.
Santa doesn't quite have the customary voluptuous white beard this year, but he still possesses some quantity of white facial hair - I think Gillette must have got him with one of their adverts.
Santa is letting go of red and white this year too, he fancies more of a kaftan these days in keeping with the times and has most probably had a wardrobe update.

Surprise! Surprise! Santa is uncle Sambo Dasuki.

It really isn't that surprising, if you've been following the arms procurement scandal rocking the former administration (which the press tags Dasukigate) you would understand how much resemblance the former security adviser bears to Santa Claus. He even goes one or two steps better by giving gifts even Santa couldn't afford.

Today it's 100m, tomorrow 200m, 150m and the list rises on.

P.s m in the statement above represents million not metres and it could be in either Naira or dollars.

While the whole hullabaloo rages on, I'm just going to keep my fingers crossed and wait for the next person who gets named - as the lyrics of a popular song goes

"...it may be you,

it may be me,

it may be someone by your side..."

Another song goes "Santa Claus is comiiiing to tooown".

Best wishes of the season.
