President Buhari and Ibe Kachikwu must understand that the pro-
corruption caterwauling oil workers trying to slow down Nigeria's
progress at NNPC cannot be handled the way you handle Dasuki or
Alex Badeh.
Thieves like Dasuki and Badeh are billionaires. When their own
corruption fights back, it is refined and civilized fighting. That is why
you see them in court, all smiles, exchanging banter with journalists
and lawyers, receiving phone calls, reading novels and newspapers,
and watching Cossy Orjiakor on their phone screens during trial
proceedings.
They are contented thieves. They know Nigeria. They know that at
the end of the day, they may do a little time, refund some of the
loot, and be back in the system as elder statesmen. They may even
be back in the kitchen cabinet of the next president. They have Bode
George, Tafa Balogun, and Lucky Igbinedion as examples and
precedent. They don't fight dirty and they don't fight to die because
they have everything to lose by fighting like demented souls.
Not so for civil servants who have perfected a system of stealing
carefully in millions, spread from the beginning of their career to
retirement. It is usually a well-oiled looting routine, not too small,
not too outrageous but enough to live well above your means, well
into retirement. This routine and regularity is what makes Nigeria's
civil service the most corrupt in Africa. It is hard to encounter a
worker living within his means.
Only yesterday, I was external assessor for yet another scholarship
scheme in another University outside of Ontario. I must stop
assessing scholarships. The form says: justify why you need this
scholarship. Answer: "I am here with my kid sister. Things are very
tough for us. Our parents have five children. Two of us are already
here and our third sibling who is completing high school will join us
next year. Our parents are civil servants in Nigeria. If I get this
scholarship, it will help a lot"
Just imagine if the two parents in reference were civil servants in
the oil sector and they have two kids in Canada and are planning to
add a third. You think they are going to fight you with finesse like
Sambo Dasuki and Alex Badeh? They will fight you jati jati. They will
fight you to the gutter. They will fight you to the latrine. They also
understand that the worst case scenario for Dasuki and Badeh is to
be downgraded from billionaires to multimillionaires after trial and
everything.
What is the worst case scenario for civil servants stealing millions?
If they manage to escape jail, they certainly will no longer be able to
afford the mansion in Lekki and may have to downgrade to Gbagada
or Surulere. And Baba has already told them that the forex we have
is for his own children. They wouldn't be able to afford the forex
anyway - what with their source of income blocked.
That is why civil servants tend to fight very dirty when their own
corruption is fighting back. President Buhari and Ibe Kachikwu must
understand that what they are facing from oil workers is not the
sort of kid gloves fightback that contented thieves like Dasuki and
Badeh are doing.
In Baba's and Kachikwu's shoes, I would take some coconuts and
crack them on the corrupt heads of those oil workers. Imagine
saying they were not consulted! Consult you for what? Who are you?
It is unbundling by the owner of the show. It does not affect your
work. You have not been fired. Your pay is not cut. So, what is your
own? Spoilt workers. Iyalaya all of you.
This unbundling is in order.

'Iyalaya all of you'? This man is an Olamide fan.
Anyway the unbundling is a good step in the right direction and nobody must be allowed to subject it to a set back.
