New year resolutions that never stand the test of time

Now that the Lord has been merciful enough to allow us live to see a new year, everyone has a new year resolution .Some are making over ambitious new year resolutions which can never and will never materialize buts it’s okay, rules are also made to be broken.

“Starting next year I will stop drinking,” a drunkard would be overheard declaring as his or her New Year resolution, not because he is willing to quit the bottle but because of the responsibilities that come along with the Country’s longest month “Njaanuary” as they often put it. Bear in mind this is someone who cannot sleep with any alcoholic drink in the same room, one party has to sleep inside another. It is usually the longest month for men of the bottle as they are forced to be tee tollers for a whole month as they cannot afford the booze since they have spent a good amount of money paying their bills, footing school fees and other financial commitments that come in this month. As they drink themselves on the last day of the year at popular hangouts where they are major ‘shareholders’ to the extent that they know all waitresses by name, voice and age.
