The Dodo was eaten into extinction because it could not fly

The Dodo was eaten into extinction.During my travels in Mauritius last week I saw someone in Port Louis with the likeness of the Chief Executive Officer of IDC. My travelling companion was adamant that it was him. We are convinced that he was there to investigate the man or men who were running and collecting proceeds (ill gotten gains) from the illegal hotel operation on Farquhar Island. My friend and I believe that the CEO is a very busy man. He has over one hundred islands in the Seychelles archipelago to manage and to look after; it cannot be an easy job.

These people from Mauritius are known for their shrewdness. They must have sneaked onto Farquhar when the CEO was very busy and not watching over the island, or was probably on a vacation with his lovely family in Europe to check on his bank balances. The ‘Asterla’(s) must have sneakily built themselves a little hotel. All this time our cousins from Mauritius must have been sending visitors in groups of ten all the way from Mauritius by little boats on fishing trips to Farquhar. They must have instructed the visitors to run and hide in the undergrowth whenever the IDC plane was heard coming their way in case it was the CEO visiting Farquhar. As soon as he would have left the island they all came crawling back to their lovely rooms in the small hotel.

We are certain the CEO will get to the bottom of this matter – soon we will see him on this new program on SBC, to be named ‘bottom-to-bottom’, presented by the lady with the questions she already knows the answers to, setting  the record straight about the illegal hotel operation on Farquhar. Just like the 4.5 million dollars that we all know of - he will promise to get all our money back from these monkey eating scoundrels he thought highly of and befriended them. Accountability Jj style!

The Dodo was eaten into extinction because it lacked the ability to fly, so it could not protect itself from the predators. Some Seychellois are living on peanuts because of their inability to cast their votes in a manner that will secure a better tomorrow for them and their children, in so doing, they would be doing away with all of their marauders.
