Oops: Man accidentally texts probation officer to ask for weed

-

It’s a mistake a convicted felon never wants to make.
Alvin Cross Jr. of Albany, Georgia, seems to have gotten
his wires crossed – or, more accurately, his fingers –
when he reportedly texted who he thought was his drug
dealer. The message: “You have some weed?” The
recipient: His parole officer, not his drug dealer. After
receiving the text, the probation officer sent drug agents to
Cross’ home, where a bag of cocaine was discovered.
Unsurprisingly, he’s going back to serve another year in
prison for violating his probation.

LIKE BOKO HARAM; LIKE MAITATSINE. NIGERIA'S RELIGIOUS TERROR OF THE 80'S

This piece is written in honour of and dedicated to the memory of hardworking, innocent and defenceless Nigerian citizens who lost their lives in the spate of senseless religious killings in the country. It is my prayer and hope that their deaths will never be in vain and that one day, we will all come back to our senses, work together for peace and realize that after everything, we end up buried in the same soil of the same earth and consumed by the same worms that know no religion.  It was 33 years ago, the 18th of December, 1980 to be precise. A Fulani teacher named Shehu Shagari was the first civilian executive Nigerian President but the nation he was leading was in flames, set alight by an energetic man who spoke high-pitched Fulani. The security forces were helpless and even the Commander-in-Chief of the Nigerian Armed Forces seemed confused blaming external forces that he said were ‘jealous of Nigeria’s growing international influence’. The violence, the h...

What Would You Do If You Came Home To Find 102 Snakes In Your Home?

Earlier this week, a family in Saskatchewan, Canada got the surprise of a lifetime when they came home to find their house invaded by snakes. Somehow, over 100 garter snakes found their way inside the family's home. The snakes were looking to escape the plunging temperatures outside and begin hibernating for the winter. I'm not sure I could think of a worse place for a snake to hibernate. I feel bad for the poor family. Even though these are harmless snakes, this would freak me  out. I don't want my house to be invaded by things that creep or crawl. No thank you very much .
