When a Nation Competes Over Who Suffers More

By
Sa'adiyyah Adebisi Hassan

In a village, a great flood sweeps through the land.
Houses are submerged. Families are screaming. Lives and properties are being lost.

Amid the chaos, one man sees his wife drowning and cries out for help. Then suddenly his neighbours get angry.

They’re not angry because he caused the flood.
They’re angry because he dared to shout for help first.

Their argument? “He shouldn’t call for help because everyone is drowning not only his family.”

Read that again. Let it sink in.
That is the madness happening in Nigeria today.

When Sympathy Becomes a Crime

The moment someone says, “Christians are being massacred,” some Nigerians rush out shouting, “It’s not only Christians!” as if being victims of the same tragedy is now a competition.

What kind of twisted reasoning is that? So because Muslims are also being killed, Christians shouldn’t cry out? Should we all keep quiet and let the country drown because suffering must now be shared equally before it becomes valid?

This is not logic it’s lunacy. It’s the mindset of lost people, drowning in hypocrisy, who have turned national tragedy into a political scoreboard.

The Leaders Are No Better

Our leaders are busy playing politics over corpses.
Show me a country that gives amnesty to terrorists who massacre its citizens, and I Will show you a nation led by men without souls.

Nigeria doesn’t rehabilitate victims it rehabilitates killers. It doesn’t comfort widows it empowers warlords. Our politicians care more about 2027 elections than 2025 funerals.

Check their official pages, their handlers and even data boys: defections, rallies, and insults to the opposition.
Not one post about the families wiped out in Plateau.
Not one word for soldiers dying daily in Borno forests.
Not one moment of silence for schoolchildren abducted and forgotten.

A government that pampers killers and punishes victims is not a government it’s an accomplice.copied from Facebook.

[quote author=Ayo25 post=135949103]How is Obi more popular than Tinubu in Tinubus region?

I stand to be corrected o. But let me say this I do hear people say something about kano having more voters than the entire southeast you all forgot that the igbos are mostly business oriented. We have more southeasterners in other regions than other regions in southeast. Let's take Lagos as an example from oshodi to idumota to other parts of lagos have high concentration of igbos. Even now streetwise unless baba act like in 2023 he has strongly lost the appeal of the masses, kwankwaso or shettima, baba will up his game to win this time

I don't know why they are clapping,
He is asking a serious question and instead of them been sober, they are clapping. I tire 😭😭😭

I can relate o. Nah so e de o.

[quote author=Kemetian post=135743929]See how he’s walking on a neat sidewalk with no open gutters or sandy roads.

See him enjoying, yet in his 8 years as Anambra state governor, he did not build a single road that looks like that.

Some people just say things without verification, oga ask anybody in aAnambra state how good Obi's tenure was. I swear on anything I have only seen such during Rochas okorochas first tenure as governor of Imo State,
Obi performed marvelously well.
There is a place called okpoko, obi started the transformation of this slum before Charles soludo now turned it better. Obi made education easier for many, he was a hands on leader. I really respect him, the only fault I have on him was he made anambra state for Anambrarians alone, just like trump is doing in the USA now. But overall I score him 85/100%. Before you come on public forums like this to bash people, first run a survey about the person you want finish from people that witnessed him lead. I doubt if you have been to anambra state before. Because if you did you would not say this you are saying now

All these baseless reports just to spite Igbos, I just laugh, how I wish this country should just be divided already, come to Lagos and visit all the popular markets infact I can literally say Igbos have over 33% of revenue, the heart of every nation is trade and Igbos are in the forefront of it. If Igbos are to leave Lagos and move back to their region, you will be surprised at the vacuum they will leave behind. All this report nah trash to me.

Yes it can, am a living testimony, though there was drug that has something like fish water in it that my mom used to give me then, I have forgotten the name. But now despite the bowleg is small, at least my legs dey straight to a large extent

whyteteeth:
It's draining dealing with my mom everytime she comes to the city to stay in the same house with me. I live in my elder sister's house but she (my sister) stays abroad with her family. I am the last child and I am not married. I work from home though. My mum visits here once in a while. Anytime she comes around she does a lot of things that spoils my mood. For instance, she doesn't like taking her children's advice no matter how important it is to them. She likes having her way all the time. And when we try to stop her, she guilt trips us and emotionally blackmails us.

I have other siblings who do not live with me but they used to come around with their children anytime mom is around. My father is back home and hardly visits. She doesn't listen to my dad if he advices her.

Mom will first and foremost get someone upset, and when the person complains, she will watch out for one negative word that will slip out from your mouth and use it to emotionally blackmail you. She will cry because of what you said to her until you feel guilty and beg her to forgive you. She also likes reporting her child to another of her child without minding if it would damage their relationship.

She likes making her child feel bad so long as she has her way and she is happy. She pays no attention to the feelings of her children anytime she wants anything. For instance, My mom can make you spend money on something that she already has. Sometimes she will drag for something that she doesn't even need. She feels as a mother all her children must make her happy else they don't like her.

Also, She is terrible with conversations both on phone and physically. If you try to have a one on one talk with her, she will make the conversation very unpleasant because she will keep interrupting, next thing she will cry or she will get up and leave you.

She never sees her fault. Even if she apologies, she would do the same thing again and blame you for making her do it.

If she comes around and everywhere is peaceful, after a short while argument will begin which may lead to a fight.

This is because she likes jamming one person with another person and eventually make them quarel. She enjoys adding words that was never in the conversation when she is reporting somebody to another perosn. Most times those words are very hurting and will lead to a fight. And when the fight begins, she will start crying. Sometimes she would intentionally fall on the ground while trying to separate a fight, just to make sure everybody runs helter-skelter trying to get her up on her feet.

She has blood pressure issues, hence she uses that as a weapon to guilt-trip her children so they can succumb to her demands. For instance, if she says things that are not true about her child to another of her child and the person finds out, once you confront her, she would say " don't query me oh, shey you know my blood pressure would soon go up. I didn't kill my mother, don't kill me oh." Or she will just start crying and say the person hates her and what was said isn't true, and that she never said anything like that. She denies the things she says that are bad soon after she says them.

Gosh, I am just tired of my mom. I feel like packing out of this house, blocking her and not letting her come close to me because of how emotionally draining it is everytime she comes around.

Nah my fathere second be that. How they meet and marry

In 2014, Keneth Amadi was promoted as the CEO of Eunisell Chemical with a 2.5 million naira monthly salary plus a $4000 monthly payment for his personal expenses and a Lexus SUV as his official car, but he still betrayed his boss by diverting funds of over 3 billion to a competing company of which he and his wife were the owners!

Let’s read:

25 years ago, Nigerian businessman Chika Ikenga and the owner of Nature's Gentle Touch, a Nigerian-made hair relaxer, founded a subsidiary business called Eunisell Chemical, a company licensed by the Department of Petroleum (DPR) to import chemicals and base oils into Nigeria.

He was motivated by the fact that only a few companies import the chemicals used by his company to produce hair relaxers.

He wanted to own the eco system by supplying the Nature Gentle Touch company with the chemicals they need for production and then supplying competitors in the same hair relaxer industry as well.

The business grew by leaps and bounds, and the importation of base oil and addictive, were later added to the company's portfolio.

Base oil and lubricant addictive are the critical raw material and component used in the production of lubricants like Sea Horse Lubricants.

Instagram celebrity Jowi Zaza is among the few cartels that have the license to import base oil into Nigeria.

Base oil is a by-product of crude oil refining, so since our refinery is not working and moribund, a market was created for the likes of Jowi Zaza and Eunisell to import this base oil and then sell it to lubricant companies that don't have the license to import it, which they use in the final production of motor engine oil.

In the year 2000, a certain Kenneth Amadi joined Eunisell as a salesperson.

He was fresh out of NYSC and eager to learn.

His job description was to hustle for customers that would buy base oil for the production of lubricants and customers that needed chemicals for the production of

Shampoos, dyes, conditioners, and relaxers

Soaps and detergents

Anti-foams (for filling requirements)

Hand and body creams

Make-up

Eye shadow, mascara, lipstick, etc.

Home Care Products

Kenneth Amadi, attached in the picture below, was so good that he rode through the ranks and was appointed as the GM of the company in record time.

As Eunisell’s chemicals importation, distribution, and manufacturing business grew, so did Ikenga's concern for the welfare and work conditions of his employees, including Amadi, who soon rose to the position of Chief Executive Officer (CEO) with a salary of N2.5 million monthly plus $4,000 monthly (according to his employer), an official Lexus SUV, business class tickets for travel, and free medical care abroad, all paid for by Eunisell as of October 2016.

Eunisell boasts clients such as Shell, Total, ExxonMobil, Cando, A-Z Petroleum, Conoil, and Amassco Oil.

The founder of the firm, who was trained as an industrial chemist, trusted Amadi so much that he gave him unfettered access and total control of his base oil and chemical businesses, a trust that was later betrayed by his employee.

Apparently, his manager, Amadi, and his wife formed a company without his knowledge.

The company was to compete with Eunisell, doing the same business.

So what Amadi was doing was simple.

Instead of sending an invoce to Amascco and AZ Lubricants with the name of his employer, Eunisell, he would send the invoce with the name of his personal company IDID with their bank account attached.

He would collect his commission and then remit the balance, which was the original cost of the product, to his employer.

Since these companies knew he was the MD of Eunisell and that he always delivered the base oil and lubricant addictive they paid for, they did not raise a red flag.

Business was so good that Amadi and his wife made over 2.9 billion naira in less than 2 years just from Amassco and AZ Lubricants before they were caught.

As if this was not enough, Amadi and his wife were so audacious as to register another company—an audacity that was the Achilles heel that led to their downfall.

The new company formed by the couple was appointed as a distributor by Oronite, owned by Chevron, and Oronite is also in the business of formulating base oils and additives , which is exactly what Lubrizol, the foreign partner of Amadi's employer abroad, is into.

Worried that a competitor was about to eat into their market share and an insider was sharing market secrets with them, Eunnisell's foreign partner sent a query to their Nigerian distributor Eunisell to inquire who owned A.B.D. Energy Solutions Ltd.

Amadi, knowing he had been caught, was evasive and refused to provide his boss, Ikenga, with information on who owns A.B.D. Energy Solutions Ltd., the new distributor of base oil for Oronite.

Having run out of options as Amadi was not forthcoming, his boss, Ikenga, was forced to involve his lawyers to do a search for him on who owned the company at the CAC.

The search was a bombshell that Ikenga did not see coming.

The new company belonged to his employee, Amadi, and his wife.

Before that time, Amadi had been going to the research, development, and technology departments of his company’s suppliers in the United Kingdom for training.

The research center "was the heart of Eunicell's business, and it was discovered that Amadi was sharing privileged market information gotten from the research center with Oronite."

It was on that basis that he was appointed a distributor in Nigeria, and that is what made the foreign supplier of his employer demand to know the owner of the Nigerian distributor appointed by their competitor.

How Amadi's fraud was exposed

Walk with me as we continue.

Amadi was confronted with the information that he owned that company, a competing company that was recently appointed as a Nigerian distributor.

He resigned in November 2016 because of this, and an audit was carried out to reconcile the accounts of the big companies like AZ Lubricants, which he was managing.

Listen to Amadi's boss, Ikenga, as he explains further.

Ikenga stated that the audit revealed that payments that had been coming into Amadi's company bank account were from Amascco and AZ Lubricants.

Ikenga said he wrote to the bank explaining why the payment coming into his company’s account did not have a narrative or details of the buyers.

The bank (Diamond Bank, now Access) wrote back to him, giving the details of the payers, who were Amadi and IDID.

"On further search at the Corporate Affairs Commission, it was revealed that IDID Nigeria Limited was owned by Amadi and his wife, who were both directors and shareholders."

Ikenga said he reported it to the police, and the police investigation revealed that Amadi was receiving payment from A-Z Petroleum and Ammasco International for the goods that his company, Eunisell, sold to them.

Ikenga said the company sent goods to A-Z Petroleum and Ammasco International via waybill, and the company gave Amadi the invoices to send to them, of which Amadi would give the customers his own bank account and retain the money paid into it for a while before remitting it.

Amadi's boss also claimed that his job role as Chief Executive Officer did not empower him to pay this money into his account as he had no mandate to do so.

Ikenga claims that he wrote to his bankers because the payment was coming without details of the payer, and it was discovered that the persons paying money into the bank account were Amadi and IDID, who received the money from his two main customers, A-Z Petroleum and Ammasco International, totaling over N2.9b.

According to Ikenga, Amadi left the company when the audit of the company was conducted because of the first conflict of interest. Based on the letters from the bank, other customers, and the investigation, Ikenga stated that the defendant had betrayed their trust as he used his position and information about his business to the benefit of Eunisell’s competitors.

Ikenga told the court that Amadi used Eunisell’s funds to operate IDID. He alleged that Amadi altered the invoices to Ammasco and A-Z Petroleum to enable him to receive Eunisell’s payment "without authority, mandate, or approval and by diverting funds to build up the profile and credibility of the defendant." Ikenga also testified that Amadi forged documents in order to carry out fraudulent activities.

Ikenga further testified that Amadi made payments into the company’s account without narratives from January 1, 2016 to October 28, 2016, and from January 2012 to December 31, 2015, which were discovered during the police investigation. He stated that what was reflected in the bank statement as manager’s checks MC/Ammasco and also MC/A-Z Petroleum were not from A-Z Petroleum as they were paid in by Amadi and IDID. He alleged that N2.9b was diverted from his customers by Amadi.

He further testified that the firm did not really audit its banking activities because "they trusted Amadi, who will always inform them whenever a customer makes a payment."

Amadi's world came crashing down as he was sentenced to 18 months in prison and his alter-ego company was liquidated by the court.

The case went to court in 2017, and it took six years for Daniel to come to justice.

A classic example of what many Nigerian businesses are going through in the hands of their employees and why trust deficits are high and rife among many big men and women

You don’t blame them; the Amadis of this world have taught them a lesson, a painful one so it is difficult to trust again.
