CORRUPTION INCORPORATED: COCKCROW, CROWING AT DAWN.
According to Yoruba proverb which goes thus: "Ile lan wo ki a to so mo loru ko"; implicating the nexus between socio-economic, historical and biological familial background of an individual and the name(s) given to such an individual at birth, one begins to wonder whether there is something in the name given to the geopolitical entity called Nigeria that is more of a curse than a blessing by juxtapositioning the various negative episodic events in the historiography of this nation of ours.
I do not want to sound superstitious or theosophical but sincerely speaking one is overwhelmed with the magnitude of misfortune, corruption, negativity, pungent odoriferous pile of maladministration historically speaking that is beyond comprehension considering the short history of Nigeria.
Therefore, It is very difficult for me to elucidate or theorize about why we are where we are today because 170million plus Nigerians have done that severally either on the pages of newspapers or electronic media, in gatherings such as Symposia, Conferences, inclusive Think tanks. It would amount to an exercise in monotony to engage that theme in this essay/script again.
I want to generalize here that we all know that corruption is an endemic ''infectious cum contagious'' disease in our clime that must be eradicated by all means necessary before it annihilates our socio-economic and political fabric as a nation. It is the infectiousness and contagiousness of corruption in an epidemic propulsion into clans, familial environment like a metastasizing cancer that jolted me into writing this essay/script.
Here is the clanish cum familial drama: (Act 1 Scene 1) Nigeria West Africa Limited inaugural/Emergency board meeting.
Deziani Alison-Madueke: Greetings, Good morning everyone sorry for my lateness it was because of the fuel sarcity.
**Board Members present Maurice Iwu, Ugonna Alison-madueke Nnamdi Okonkwo (Managing Director of Fidelity Bank Plc)**
Chorus: You are welcome madame we had the same problem ourselves that is the new normal anyway... interjection by Ugonna, I hope people would not discover that we have been diverting the petroleum (PMS) to neighbouring countries... (laugh) ahahahahhah you are not serious your mother is in charge here. Nobody can question her decision, no investigation, no protest on the fuel scarcity the president is in the know.
Deziani Alison-Madueke: Thank you gentlemen, he is a small boy he would learn fast as we get him indoctrinated in the act of running this country and the power of a woman.
(Act 1 Scene 2) The meeting proper after initial side commentaries.
Deziani Alison-Madueke: Lest I forget, given the digression from the topic of our inaugural/emergency meeting. As you all are aware that the next general election is around the corner, the President has given me the ultimate assignment to make sure that he wins by all means necessary so I would need your imput as to how this can be realizable.
Ugonna: Mummy na money! Ego we need, if we shine the face of Nigerians with money everything is possible.
Maurice Iwu: Ugonna is right on that point but money alone is not enough from my research as former electoral umpire we need influencers and that expertise I have without sounding arrogant. You can count on me on that aspect. I will get all relevant INEC officials together within a twinkling of an eye, you know I did something similar in previous elections, precisely speaking South/South and South/East are my area of dominance we can leave South/West to Olu Falae and don't forget AREWA and Joseph Waku are capable in the middle belt/North.
Deziani Alison-Madueke: But Joseph Waku is an APCNigeria supporter... (Laugh) ahahahhahaahh
Maurice Iwu: He is camouflaging like a Chameleon he needs money right now, I was with him two weeks ago with Olu Falae I am sure he will cooperate. I am 100% with Ugonna, we need to shine his face just the way we did with Olu Falae.
Nnamdi Okonkwo: Madame both Maurice and Ugonna are on point but something is missing and that is the bank to warehouse the money to be used for this important assignment and I am "volunteering" to provide my expertise in that direction. You all know I am the Managing Director of Fidelity Bank Plc so no shaking. However, where is the funds coming from if I may ask.
Deziani Alison-Madueke: I like the slang you just used there (NO SHAKING). We have corporate individuals in the Oil and Gas industries willing to do the needful; so that is not my headache, at this juncture I would like to say thank you all for your contributions and I will get in touch with you soonest.
**End of the drama and the events that followed are the revelations on the pages of newspapers about the scandal I would give the nomenclature #Fidelitygate.**
We all know now what the end results of the word soonest mean from the unfolding revelations on the pages of newspapers and online media culminating in the disbursement of $115million received from a former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke.
The methodology adopted by Diezani Alison-Madueke can be likened to the mannerism developed by occultist initiatory societies professing esoteric knowledge of Amadioha as a punitive mechanism for anyone transgression but in Diezani Alison-Madueke's case it was a repetitive sound of contagious millions as suggested by Ugonna that led those conspirators to the slaughter house of election results manipulation, fraud and corrupt enrichment.
This is why It is of immense significance that @efccnigeria has been able to allow the cock to crow at dawn with the grilling and detainment of an Oil chief, Leno Olaitan Adesanya, in connection with the ongoing probe of the bribe given to some officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
The more we have various cocks crowing "cock-a-doodle-doo" the better we become awake from our slumber as a nation.
Let me digress a bit. Do we know that cock plays a significant role in oral history in the Yoruba tradition?
"Yoruba oral history tells of God lowering Oduduwa down from the sky, the ancestor of all people, bringing with him a rooster, some dirt, and a palm seed. The dirt was thrown into the water and the cock scratched it to form land, and the seed grew into a tree with sixteen limbs, the original sixteen kingdoms". -Wikipedia
This is a war that must be executed with ''massive firepower'' just like the glorious ancient African warriors like Oduduwa, Sundiata Keita, Sango, Uthman Dan Fodio of blessed history did in conquering nations.
Please, Nigerians do not listen to apologist for corruption in our clime telling you about political persecution syndrome. They are partakers in disagreeable occultist initiatory societies of hedonistic materialism their true worth shall be revealed very soon.
Pardon me again with the use of Yoruba proverb here which goes thus "Patapata lan foju, kumokumo lan detee, Oju afonfo tan Ija lo ma n da le''. The import of the following is that the war against corruption must not be halfhearted war but must be a total annihilation of all reminant of the disease from Nigeria without which the epidemic propulsion into clans, familial environment like a metastasizing cancer would germinate again like an hydra-headed monster.
In conclusion, If you say no shaking think twice because you might be the next Alao shaki shaki when the cock crow at dawn.
