“Paradise is not the absence of evil. It is the presence of good. Today we still have paradise in our world, for wherever there is good, there is paradise.

Paradise is not the absence of darkness. It is the presence of the Light.” From Paradox lost

Welcome to Scammers Paradise!

No contradictions.

Nigeria is a place of ongoing tragedy and unceasing comedy, outgoing subsidy and uncertain remedy.

That resignation brings hope, that realisation brings happiness, with everything that Coolio found in Gangstas Paradise till he was 59. Everything in Pastime Paradise that Steve Wonder lives in, 73 years on



Two Saturdays into President Tinubu’s accession as the 16th ruler in these parts of Paradise, some dualistic scenarios began to play out - typical of those opposites in Milton’s Paradise lost.


One, as soon as President Tinubu announced an end to the petrol subsidy scam last week, labour leaders on the other side announced the beginning of strike action, protesting financial pangs visited by the soaring cost of transport and living.

Conversely, as soon as the labour unions suspended their intended strike action, deciding to keep working under the new austere conditions, the Presidency, on the other side, suspended the Governor of the Central Bank, Godwin Emefiele, from further work at his office.

This (suspension) is sequel to the ongoing investigation of his office and the planned reforms in the financial sector of the economy,” the Secretary to the Government of the Federation’s spokesman, Willie Bassey, said.

One hopes they remove the subsidy and audit what is gone just as they’re removing Emefiele and auditing what he’s done.

Again, just as news of President Tinubu’s first appointees spread in town, news spread too of his predecessor’s appointees’ misspent time in office.

One of the latter is the Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika’s, role in the Nigeria Air scam. A scam that gulped 85 billion Naira and solicited free international embarrassment for the country.

Like Sirika’s Aviation Ministry, the Justice Ministry under Abubakar Malami is in the news too for providing refuge and refusing extradition requests for Nitin and Chetan Sandesara, two Indian fugitives wanted by the Indian authorities. The duo were accused of scamming several Indian state-owned banks of undeserved and unpaid debts to the tune of $1.7 billion.

Wanted criminals in their homeland, the Indian scammers have found a new land and a thriving oil exploration business in Nigeria

For a fact, the Sandesaras are easily absorbed into these parts of paradise on account of their leading investment in Nigeria’s oil industry.

an industry plagued by piracy and oil theft from Nigeria’s littoral waters deep into the Gulf of Guinea

a bloody-greedy industry Nigerian naval officers have a conflicted relationship with, being seen as the main enemy to the offshore pirates but the minor enemy to the oil thieves.

On air, land and sea, Nigeria comes by as a safe haven for scammers
