At 9:52 am on Friday, I received a call from this
number 08023805103 addressing himself as Engr
Babatunde Ajayi and works with NNPC. He said I gave him my number but I knew it wasn't true, but
because of my curiosity I played along with him. He
asked me to call him back which I did. He said he
wants to help me with a supply contract after which
executed, we both share the profit. He said he'll
forward a number to me cos the person will be in Lagos
and I can contact him on how to get the goods. I thanked him and ended the call, and this was my
response to him via SMS.
"" Hello sir, U really tried, no
doubt but I must advice you that scamming biz has
gone beyond that level u re still operating on. I guess I must have been careless with my document
for u to gain access to it, nevertheless, I'll implore u
to join NAUG for you to be legally and gainfully
employed and the govt. will also know your challenges.
I don't blame you, I blame the federal govt and her
cabinets. For more information log on

This is one of the many scams innocent Nigerians
falls victim to. The youths who are supposed to
uphold the honour and glory of this country now
engage in any sort of evil vices to sustain a
livelihood such as yahoo yahoo, yahoo plus, armed
robbery, ritual ism, kidnapping among others.. The
mentality of an average Nigerian youth has been
corrupt. He sees nothing wrong on preying on his
neighbour. But can we really blame them? (NO), I'll
say blame the system itself.

The Nigerian system
itself is 99.5% corrupt. Corruption has become a
common virus and has eaten deep into the veins,
marrows and blood streams of our leaders.

The
mindset of an average after been sworn to the seat
of power is to loot, how to acquire so much wealth
for himself They even termed it as a "national
cake".. Often times, I wonder if the Nigerian
constitution has any guidelines to it or sanctions for
abuse of power.

Public funds are been diverted for
personal use. " Dividends of democracy" someone
once said. Imagine a minister acquiring two
armoured vehicles for personal use with public funds
for #255 million in a country where another family
doesn't know where and when the next meal is
coming from. It is nothing but a colossal waste of
public fund. I wonder why she needs more protection
than the presidency. When the ministry of defence is
purchasing locally made armoured vehicles. Does
she have a higher life premium than our army troops
who are working day and night to protect the
country ?

I listen to news on this incident and my
heart bleeds, I weep for the unborn generations.
There is no respect to the rule of law anymore. If
this was to happen in countries where laws are
obeyed, where the credibility of process is being
respected, such public officers would be sack and prosecuted but reverse is the case in the Nigerian
system. Instead she's even going on tour as if nothing
ever happened. Presently she's in Israel where the
president is as well on holy pilgrimage. should we call
that a coincidence? I wonder who is fooling who... Hmmmmm smh

This is just another instance of the level to which
impunity had grown among public officers because of
the federal govt inability to fight corruption. The
system as a whole is corrupt. It was gathered that
the presidency inaugurated a three man committee
to investigate the issue as if Nigerians were fools.

We may have been fooled in the past but longer will
we be.

What was the outcome of the Farouk Lawan
led committee on fuel subsidy?

What Femi Otedola
did then was to show us that the foundation itself is
faulty. The hunter now became the haunted.

Forgive
me to quote this scripture from the holy book," if the
foundation be destroyed, what can the righteous
do". I am sure the legendary musician of blessed
memory, Fela Anikulapo Kuti must have pictured this
era when he sang the song "argument argument".

Forgive me if I sound to bias but you all will agree
with me that its nothing but the bitter truth..

What baffles
me most is the road on which this vehicles are to be
used. Is it not the death traps called roads that you
and I commute everyday? (I laugh in my Egba
dialect)...

The other time, it was senator Iyabo
Obasanjo Bello, Hon. Dimeji Bankole speaker of the
house of rep, Otunba Gbenga Daniel former
governor of Ogun state, the president ex boss and
former governor of Bayelsa state Alamesiagha,
instead they were given presidential pardon but if it
were to be a common man, he would have rot in jail. The lists are endless. There are so many that ears
haven't heard but thank God for the internet.

Fellow Nigerian youths, the time has come to make a
change cos I can feel the wind of change blowing. It
is time to stop addressing the symptom of Nigeria's
challenges and launch a full attack on the disease
itself called Corruption and its causes.
It is time to flush away corrupt leaders and corrupt
practices from our country
.....

Arise O compatriots to the clarion call
O sleeping giants, Arise from your slumber
Its time to make our leaders accountable to us. Let's
turn from spectators into participants.

More than 450yrs before the birth of christ, Confucius
said "" what I hear I forget but what I see I remember
and what I do I understand"".

Let's not give them an opportunity to call us fools to
our very face. We have too much to do in this ugly scenario we found ourselves rather than sitting on the
fence and putting up I DON'T CARE ATTITUDE...

We need you to step out of the gray twilight into the
bright sunlight, so that we all can see the dawn of a
new day.

Let's say no to job sales, frivolous working
conditions.

I leave
you with this wisdom nugget.
- Fear and procrastination are major enemies of
success

-When you want something you have never had, you
have to do what you have never done.

-Act as if it were impossible to fail

-Liberty without duty is irresponsibility

-The impossible is often the untried

-You have no right to anything you have not pursued
for the proof of desire is pursuit.

-Our lives improves only when we take chances and
the first and most difficult risk we can take is to be
honest with ourselves.

I rest my case.
