Vintage Bimbo Adelakun. Great piece.

What is her Ex still doing there if she loves you very much as you claim.

Lmao, what a senseless response from Garbage Shehu. This PUNCH editorial really pain them o

God bless the PUNCH for this strongly worded Editorial. Proud of my journalism profession.

OBTMOS:
Don't pay evil with evil. He will regret everything if you do thesame send forth for him. Meanwhile, is they any vacancy in your organisation? I am a job seeker and I wouldn't mind any role. Please help a brother.

Thanks for the feedback Bro. For now, nothing is happening as per employment. All the best.

prizlezzlalasky:
Please accept the offer and make it memorable for him trust me his conscience will prick him and you never can tell, just maybe you are selling your skills and paving ways for yourself.

Many thanks for this, just that am human and I feel angry and resentful

So the Head of Operations in my organisation is set to retire by January 2020 and I'm been approached by colleagues to help in organising a memorable send-forth party for him because they saw my efforts when my immediate boss was retiring.

My immediate boss was more than a boss to me, he was a leader, a mentor and a shield. He protected me from the intrigues in the corporate world and ensured he had my back always.

During his send forth, I ensured everything was well organised. I brought in more creativity like putting all his pictures in slides, carrying out research to make his biography top notch and ensured it was read out during the occasion . i was also the MC of the occasion, thereby making sure the ceremony was lively, fun, emotional and memorable.

Now enter the out going head of Operations, someone I'm way under and pose no threat to whatsoever, but for reasons best known to him dislike me for no just course.

The reason for the first hostility from him was why would my immediate boss be pushing for my employment without first consulting him, perhaps to know if he have a candidate. That one slide as God eventually showed me favour.

About 6 Years later, there were some layoffs at the organisation due to downturn in business which led to the disengagement of some persons that are seen as untouchables. That generated a whole lot of issues with some persons questioning why I should be left out of the disengagement. God again shielded me.

Without any iota of pride, I dedicate myself to my work, create solutions and ensure I'm always inventing new ideas to tackle issues.

This man wrote a mail to HR questioning why I was left as some persons are complaining and therefore for peace to reign, I should be asked to go. My letter of termination of appointment was already typed.

HR team was divided with some saying I should just go, while others were saying I should be left alone because of my records.

Eventually, I was left alone as my immediate boss fought and made a strong case for me. May God continue to bless him.

Now this same man is set to exit the company after attaining the retirement age of 60 and I'm being approached to do same thing I did for my immediate boss. I have bluntly refused to have anything to do with his send forth party and other staff who don't know what i have been through are seeing me as a wicked person.

If you were in my shoes, what would you do?

'My ex is also a good guy, he just has his flaws' Aunty wey mumu.

Scoundrels. All that matter to them is how to win elections and not how to improve the lives of Nigerians. Not even once in Oshiomhole's speech did he state how the lives and wellbeing of Nigerians have been improved. Spits.

I love this! following all the way!

I was late for a very important meeting at the school chapel, na so I start dey run like who buffalo dey pursue, I no know when I step on some wicked ants didn't take notice as some dey take position for my trouser, crawling up to my na so I reach the meeting, take seat for front as an Exco, I felt the first bite, I lock up, because I feel say my brain never settle. The next thing I know, na jump I jump from my chair, shout like who one nut loose from head. I almost naked for people front. They laugh me that day no be small.

Karma indeed is a bitch! Same Kabaka that was living like there is no tomorrow oppressing people and using thuggery to get away with murder. Life!

Davido should go full throttle on those scoundrels. That was a joke taken too far! By the time they spend 2 - 3 months for kirikiri, they go wise up.

LegendHero:
Davido is not that wise. If I’m the girl this is what I will do:

Tell one of my family to give Davido my handle and let them get the #1million.

Then after Davido start the process of all the threat he claimed to do, I will beg him online and be crying and Nigerians won’t have a choice than to tell Davido to forgive me.

Abi no be Naija we dey where everything goes!

Now I’m 1 million richer.

Brother wey mumu, na when you land for jail, your eye go clear. The 1m no go even reach you bail yourself.

Chisos! No wonder!

God forbid!

Clean sheet o abeg!

There was indeed a country. Nigeria go still obviously pay this money any which way. Inept Govt. Let nobody tell me the contract was entered into by past government. Buhari has being in power for 5 years now! Govt is suppose to be a continuum.

Marry this one, u carry igbese!

Who no go sleep with the plenty plenty jargons being read by the Judges.

Stupid bloggers. He leaves the house when the wife is ovulating and comes back after her ovulation because you stay with them. Nonsense.

weyreypey:
the Biafran dream is what FBI shattered by the 80 Biafran arrests. God forbid an IPOB president for Nigeria.


For the Igbos quoting me. I have this to say: Akinwunmi Adeshina is there representing what the Yoruba stands for!!

He goat, what is Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, Chimamada Adichie, Arunma Otteh and numerous others representing?

Oh my God! Amaechi and Abe again, these two would never learn. One needs to leave the party for the other for the party to have peace in the State since even Buhari can't bring the two to the table and resolve their differences. Finally, Amaechi's ego is just something else. Tufiakwa!

Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission have questioned the immediate past Imo State governor, now a lawmaker, Senator Rochas Okorocha.

It was gathered that Okorocha who is being investigated by the commission for money laundering, was questioned last Friday.

It was learnt that the ex-governor had been asked to come back on Monday, August 19, for further questioning and to provide certain documents in respect of the allegations against him.

A source said, “We grilled him on various suspicious transactions carried out by his administration particularly towards the end of his tenure. He also responded to allegations of money laundering and the alleged acquisition of property with state funds. He has been directed to return on Monday.”

The commission had earlier traced some property, including residential estates, schools and shopping malls to the senator, some of which were sealed.

Among the sealed property and investments traced to Okorocha last month were Rochas Foundation College, Owerri, East High Primary and Secondary school, Owerri which belonged to Okorocha’s first daughter, Uloma Nwosu, and All-In Supermarket, Owerri, Imo State.

In the run up to the last general elections, the EFCC had placed Okorocha under investigation for allegedly withdrawing over N1bn from the state government coffers to aid the campaign activities of his son-in-law, Uche Nwosu, during the governorship polls in Imo state.

The commission arrested the state Accountant-General,Uzoho Casmir, for assisting Okorocha to withdraw the funds.

Casmir was alleged to have withdrawn the money from the bank in three tranches of N200m, N500m and N350m within three days.

Casmir was, before his appointment as the Director of Finance in Okorocha’s government, fingered in 2016 in a N2bn bailout fund scam.

The EFCC zonal head for South East, Usman Imam, had stated that Okorocha’s administration used funds meant for workers during the elections.

When asked for update on the investigation against Okorocha on Thursday, the acting EFCC spokesman, Tony Orilade, said, “It is still ongoing.”

Make they just say them dey find money to help their poor economy. If they care about people lives, make they close the mountain completely. Nonsense and ingredients

Kudos to Gov. Ihedioha. This is a vital part of the healing process in Imo State. A lot of persons have been oppressed and their lands forcefully and illegally taken from them using Govt powers.

THE Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria, AMCON’s frequent pronouncements about debtors rarely seem to strike a chord with the public; many people do not seem to understand the effect of unpaid loans on the economy, its stability or even the consequences for their own jobs if and when companies destroyed and mismanaged by the same repeat offenders, shut down. These people, members of the business elite who are hailed as geniuses and never fail to give keynote speeches at conferences, or pretend to have achieved success through their brilliance, rather than their sophisticated ability to cheat the system and get away with it, continuously take out loans they don’t repay because, as the AMCON head of corporate affairs, Jude Nwauzor said, “it is not that they don’t have the wherewithal to pay, but they just don’t want to pay because, for them, it is national cake”.

Some people truly believe they are more entitled than the rest of us to Nigeria’s resources, simply by virtue of their social class, status and connections. Nigerians don’t always realise that when these serial debtors default on their loans it is people’s taxes government uses to plug the holes. These elite individuals who take advantage of the loopholes and impunity in our system must be challenged once and for all. Moreover, banks must be forced to implement stricter controls; after all, how is it that the same 20 or so names keep resurfacing on debtors lists? The anti-corruption fight, the idea of what constitutes corruption, has focused mostly on government officials’ illegal access to public resources, or on bribery and other such issues and there are few if any real public discussions on financial policy matters.

However, “corruption” covers a wide spectrum of issues and the so-called business men and women looting our economy, making sure they make only profit, pay next to nothing in taxes and leave the rest of us to pay for their recklessness, must not be ignored. Consumer watchdog agencies are weak in Nigeria, their presence barely felt in a country where the needs of small businesses and workers consistently come a distant second, where economic growth benefits only a few at the expense of the many.

Looting in the financial sector is quasi-accepted: when companies go bankrupt, what benefits do workers receive? Chronic debtors are free to repeat the same crimes, moving from one company or firm to another. The N5 trillion debt AMCON seeks to recover is about two times more than the loans the Federal Government will take out to help fund the 2019 budget. Yet, the serial debtors, the same group of people, take out loans from several banks at a time and despite their known non-performing loans with one institution, are allowed to take out more loans from yet more banks. Where is the legislation to stop this? How is it that these people, hailed as captains of industry, are able to get away with what can only be described as pillaging our economy? When the media rails against Nigeria being the “poverty capital of the world” it must tie these statistics with the failures of the private sector; that is, the very intentional crimes and injustices at the heart of our economic system.

The funds meant for development are trapped, stuck in the hands of a few unproductive elements who cheat Nigerians. Nigeria borrows money to fund its budgets: how much are the health and education budgets combined compared to the N5 trillion AMCON is owed? We fail to realise what N5 trillion could do for our infrastructure; we need to think of the morality behind borrowing money to fund a budget, indebting ourselves, while a few people are allowed access to what they see as “free money” at our expense. To quote Mr. Jude Nwauzor, the head of Corporate Affairs, AMCON: “We can only imagine what N5 trillion can do to a country where the government is borrowing to fund the budget…There are individuals in this country who hold on to this money but this is taxpayers’ money. Some workers have died because of these people. Some institutions have been crippled because of them. The economy is also suffering because of them.” Economic sabotage Mr. Nwauzor said AMCON has been in court with some debtors since 2010. To right these wrongs, the judiciary and the legislature should work in tandem with the executive to bring those culpable of economic sabotage to book.

One of the central problems in Nigeria, from which virtually every conflict in our society stems, is the unequal distribution of resources and opportunities based on class lines. Ethnicity is only a front for the real issue in our country: a small number of people take more than their fair share, destabilise this country and hold us to ransom. They hide behind religion and ethnicity, attempting to divide Nigerians who must begin to see that beyond our differences the shoe pinches in the North the same way it does in the South. Poverty is not restricted to a particular tribe or religion. Public policy, the rule of law, must be allowed to work for the average Nigerian rather than the special interests they continuously protect and absolve.

President Buhari must defend the “national cake” from those who believe it is theirs to be shared. Buhari THE President said the Federal Government can’t be blamed for the preponderance of the Almajiri system of education as “the responsibility is that of state governments”. He said: “People are deliberately criticising the government – when I say the government, of course, I mean the Federal Government, for the Almajiris. But that is the responsibility of the state governments, which means the state governments are not doing their job.” He is correct in more ways than one. State governments are supposed to take the lead on healthcare and education; the Federal Government matches the funds the states make available for primary healthcare, for example. Nigeria is a federation; state governments have budgets and they must be held accountable. Unfortunately, many citizens do not possess the tools or knowledge relating to the mechanisms necessary to interrogate government spending. An agency like National Orientation, for example, should educate citizens on government responsibilities and empower them to check on their local government’s activities. Osinbajo THE Vice-President recently announced a new task force to address the debts AMCON is owed.

The task forces comprises heads of AMCON, EFCC, NFIU, ICPC and the Ministry of Justice, who will work together to create and implement new strategies that will deliver results, thus enabling rapid debt recovery. Professor Osinbajo said: “The key is collaboration. We need a small team comprising these agencies to look at the next steps that we need to take, especially the criminal aspect, forfeiture, and all of that”. It should be a relief to Nigerians that the “criminal aspect” is finally government’s focus. After all, there must be a strong deterrent given that many debtors are, in fact, repeat offenders who are known to government and the banks and shareholders they keep defrauding through their actions. The irony of the debtors lists which have been in circulation since 2010 is that many of the men and women listed are known for conspicuous consumption, they are hardly low-profile individuals. It would seem the money they borrow is primarily used to fund their lifestyle rather than invest in any business. Muiz Banire, the AMCON chairman, said “about 67 per cent of the outstanding debts are owed by 20 individuals and entities”. What a country! How can 20 people or corporate entities be allowed to hold 190 million people to ransom? Government must prioritise prosecution, not just recovery of assets to ensure we don’t find ourselves in this same situation again, in another few years, as has always been the case in Nigeria. There is a banking crisis every decade or so and the perpetrators walk free. When does it end? Tabia Princewill is a strategic communications consultant and public policy analyst.
