Throwing Jobs At The Bereaved: More Insult On National Injury

The reason for this reference is as refers to the
national immigration tragedy rocking this nation.
The President promised to throw three jobs a
family at each of the families that lost a member
during the criminal immigration recruitment
exercise scam conducted by his regime. This is
insult upon injury. One asks—does this President
have any advisers?
Do they not know that you do not give knee-jerk
responses in such grave cases of national
tragedy, adding insult upon injury? Does this
government have the right to simply throw away
state jobs at families like so? This gives you an
idea and confirms allegations that during this
and similar exercises in the past, these
government officials actually did share
employment positions among their families in
this simple fashion—3 for you, 250 for me… etc.
No, Mr. President, a government does not have
the right under any conditions whatsoever to
simply throw three immigration jobs at families,
yours or others like that.
There are criteria for employment and these
criteria must at all times remain the basis for
these State specialty and national security jobs.
So if the members of these families do not have
candidates who pass the criteria then what will
you do? If they do not have members who need
the jobs, or if they simply now detest anything
to do with Immigration and customs under your
government and the interior ministry, how will
your bribe help them, Sir?
This offer is insolent, insensitive and arrogant.
Your duty is to figure out how to attempt to
resolve this national tragedy; not to throw
appeasements of your choice to the bereaved.
You are not meant to be a dictator… yes we
know you love Abacha and all, but remember
this is that crucial year before elections 2015.
You can do better than this. Nigeria is drenched
in blood and tears, be more sensitive and
sensible for God sake!
If you wished to throw jobs at the bereaved, you
can only do so with your private sector cabal
who you sell all Nigeria and Nigerians too. You
cannot simply throw away national security jobs
as gifts or appeasement to who wants and who
does not want; you can however tell your
buddies in the private sector, those you dashed
PHCN to etc, you know, those whose oligopolies
you enshrine and protect in crippling of the
nation, to offer equally compensating jobs to the
family members. That is allowed, is within your
authority and means and that will be a service
we would have praised and not criticized.
Sir, you could give money or other things, but
you simply do not have these jobs to give. And
whatever you give means you made a deadly
mistake and the giving MUST be accompanied
by a sacking or first suspension in
acknowledgement of your deadly mistake. And
do Nigerians have to die and rise up in protest
for you to realize we exist? What’s your plan for
the millions who were defrauded by your regime
and the hundreds who were injured and the
thousands of us home and abroad who are
being psychologically defeated and traumatized
by the unbelievable acts of insane greed of your
and Babangida’s men in your government? We
will prove to you that Nigerian poor masses are
not goats.
Fire, fire, fire, fire is the main menu as we
approach the next election. Not only shall you
fire the Interior minister, but you must also fire
your advisers (Some of us know who really
needs to be fired/Impeached, but the Senate is
just as hopeless so that won’t happen anytime
soon). Obviously to all, they are very
incompetent people. Who thought up such a
stupid plan in this instance of national insult and
hurt when the tragedy as Rudolph Okonkwo
stated, is to all Nigerians, the ‘walking dead.’
Three jobs to each family? Seriously? This falls
into the category of actions of your first year in
office—‘Nigeria’s national soccer team are
banned.’ Yes, that type of knee-jerk, senseless
action. So what are we learning precisely if we
still repeat the reactionary, puerile, despotic
errors of our first days in
