Taxi Driver Who Returned N18M Is Not On Honours List by dikkybutt(m): 10:18am On Sep 11, 2012 |
Isn't it a shame - a very big shame- that Imeh Usuah, the Abuja-based Taxi Driver, who made headlines earlier this year when he returned Items worth 18 Million Naira that a passenger forgot in his Car, didn't make this years honours list? Mr. Usuah, a father of 6, could have made away with that money and be a 'big boy' now. Rather he returned it. What did he get in return? To the best of my knowledge, he got a paltry N30,000 from the National Orientation Agency. Wouldn't it have been wise to factor in such an 'ordinary' Nigerian while compiling that list that honours mainly Individuals that have milked our commonweatlth. We do not honour heroes. We do not set good precedence for others. What a disincentive for other Taxi drivers to tow the path of Imeh Usuah. I wrote this piece last November after the sham of an award last year http://ekekeee.com/irrational-dishonour-awards-by-dickson-u-kalu/ it is still relevant today. @DicksonKalu 22 Likes |

Actually, what Imeh did is not honourable in the eyes of the Presidency. No one does that in Aso-Rock. next time he should ensure he does the honourable thing. 4 Likes |

So Imeh Usuah missed out on his blessing and testimony by returning that stash . . . . . . He sure deserves some level of encouragement from the FG and Nigerians at large . . . . |

You guys have to know that the term "Honorable" is relative and it means different things to different people. How can a thief see someone like Imeh as an Honorable person. If he had stolen that money, bought a governorship ticket and looted the treasury of his state, by now he woould have been awarded the CON. 9 Likes |

It is so unfortunate that it is the likes of governor Suswam of Benue,a reknowned WAEC certificate forger,former governor Odili,a looter who is being shielded form investigation and prosecution by the judiciary because the wife is a serving judge and Mahmud Lai Alabi,a front for Sen Saraki,who ochestrated the writting off of the Senators huge debt to intercontinental bank when he was made the interim CEO of the bank. Indeed Nigeria is a wonderful nation. 1 Like |
