PERSONAL STATMENT: In line with my name, Comfort, I strive to bring comfort to any sad event, through my special mourning and crying skills. From my address above, it can be seen that I live close to a cemetery. My closeness to the cemetery has made me conversant with the world of the dead; so if you invite me for any event – especially funerals – I’ll feel very much at home. More after the jump...

KEY SKILLS

• Crying at will is second nature to me
• I can cry softy without making a sound
• I can wail loudly and roll on the floor without injuring myself
• I can wail loudly and roll on the floor and also injure myself
• I can faint at will (I won’t wake up even if cold or hot water is poured on me)
• I can vomit at will
• I can act as if I have lost my mind
• I know pidgin, native and western mourning songs
• I can memorize the names of all my clients relatives and mention them as I cry
• I can cry on a dead body (this will mean an increase in the client’s fee)
• I am not allergic to dust, so I can put ash and sand on my body while I mourn (as above, this will also attract an increase in the client’s fee)

EDUCATION

School of Life — Life Experience has been my best teacher :

• Lost my first boyfriend after two weeks
• Lost my first blackberry after a month
• Lost my passport two days before I was to go to America for the first time.
• My Best Friend duped me of N400,000 and I had to drop out of school
• My Father has three wives, my mother is the last and his least favorite.
• As if the above reason was not enough, last year, “my mother” told me I was actually adopted.
• My first investment was buying Oceanic Bank shares; I did not know the bank was going bankrupt.

*All the above sad examples from my school of life, qualify me to be a sadist , hence a good mourner.
