Looking for a nude minister

I could not believe my ears when I switched on a radio station and was greeted by a news bulletin announcing that a minister has threatened to go naked if she is not allowed to pass a bill seeking to punish churches. If this is how we are going to sort out our differences, then I am madly in love with my country. I also love my church, more especially my pastor.

I am more in love with our parliament, and that is why I have purchased a tent, on hire purchase albeit, just to set up a camp at the National Assembly backyard to get a glimpse of this nude minister. I hope that the security guards will not give me trouble because we promote ‘backyard this, backyard that’. Mine is an innocent backyard home and a temporary one. I do not need government assistance to set this one up.

I am confident that the young people’s movement is getting into the heads of our leaders. I can’t believe that a month after a young man swam in the parliament fountain to cool himself down, his actions would have so much impact. The impact is so huge, leading to a minister threatening to go naked if her wishes are not granted. Apparently she wanted to go swimming in the fountain.
