Read each passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.

Obi: Let’s go to the Sport Club Cafeteria. One naira

per meal is a privilege in this country.

And God knows that I am too broke to afford

anything More

Olu: Got a membership identity card? Don’t forget

the place is for bona fide members

only.

Obi: Forget it. There are other types of

identity cards, remember. Just flash

something before the eyes of those men at the

gate, provided it looks like an identity card.

Olu: Ee…eh, I see. That is why the place is

always congested. I don’t think it

is even worth the trouble. I can’t stand a

queue.

Obi: That shouldn’t bother you. You don’t have to

join the queue. Just walk

straight to the serving point without fear

and be sure you shout your

order.

Olu: But only V.I.Ps have the right to break

queues.

Obi: Sure, but V.I Ps don’t wear badges on their

faces. Post man, pose. After

all this is Nigeria

olu: You mean there are many impostors here?

Obi: Certainly, and many people with privileges

too. If you want to get

along, you must pose, and to get along

means getting what you want

If you choose to term it ‘privileges, it

suits me. It is all a question of

semantics.
