Karma or coincidence?
This is Rabe Abubakar in 2015, speaking as Army Spokesman, confidently talking about Nigeria “winning the war against terrorism.”
Fast forward… the same terrorism he declared was being defeated is what ultimately caught up with him.
Life really has a way of rewriting old statements.
If you are working in the financial sector, there’s no way you won’t have heard about how a girl working in one of the most popular Nigerian Banks in Ikorodu is currently cooling her heels in prison as we speak.
I have never seen a bold idiotic thief like this girl before. As a head teller, she was stationed at a Nigerian University in Lagos. I won’t mention the bank or the school. This girl has access to all the accounts the university has with her bank. The accounts are so many that I doubt the school has wind of amounts flowing in. They don’t even have people monitoring these accounts. (I blame the school on this part).
This girl, Zainab in the past two years has been removing monies from different accounts belonging to this university with huge sums. The day she would remove 1m, 2m or 3m. It was possible because the bank branch she operates in is a very small unit and authorization is done by her. (The branch in the school is small. I think it is just for deposit).
One sunny day like that, someone from the Bursary department of the school noticed it and immediately went to the small bank in the school to meet with the amazing thief. He wasn’t there to stop it, in fact, he was there to negotiate. He negotiated and gave the girl more accounts to penetrate into with a splitting formula. In 2 years, they have moved about 100m according to the school.
How was she caught?
Some months ago, she was transferred out of the branch to a big branch where her roles are limited to authorization. So, she needs someone to initiate the transaction first before she authorizes and that’s the work of smaller tellers. She didn’t have access to direct debiting again.
Some Fridays ago, at the close of business, she codedly and cunningly used the access of one of the newbies teller to make a 3m transfer to the account she was always transferring to. (She has opened an account for her younger brother using her own details. He didn’t even know he has an account with the bank). She has even gone to her desk to authorize it. Omo ogbon.
The newbie teller sensed something was wrong and immediately went back to log in, only to see the transaction she never did. She called another newbie teller and they faced Zainab to provide her the ticket to the transaction she did on her computer. (A crime on its own. Every bank frowns at giving out your login details to another staff). Being the head, the cunningly maneuvered her way out and told them they will get the ticket on Monday.
The newbie teller couldn’t sleep all weekend. Her heart beat fast until she spoke up and explained what happened to her sister who asked her to inform their boss on Monday. It was when she reported that they searched through her login details and found out she has stolen enough in the past two years while she was in the school small branch.
Police were invited and investigation happened broadly. Everyone involved was packed.
Now, what did she spend money on? She has made over 43m but never bought land or house. She dresses newly everyday. She doesn’t repeat clothes. While others are eating mama put, she’s always ordering meals. She orders Uber for everything and will never be caught in danfos like me. She won’t even manage BRT 😭. She didn’t spend 1 Naira on her family. Her mother sells bread on the pavement beside the road in Ikorodu garage. She was buying wigs upon wigs upon wigs. She spent money sleeping in hotels and balling her boyfriend. Nothing tangible was caught with her. In fact, her mother still sell bread by the roadside with her head buried in shame her daughter brought upon her.
Everyone has a fault in this case but a thief is a thief. What she didn’t know is that Freedom is better than 43m. Kirikiri will open your eyes. If you are a thief, you can stop now.
Love does not work evil to one’s neighbor; therefore, love is the law’s fulfillment.
Do not owe anything to anyone except to love one another; for whoever loves his fellow man has fulfilled the law.

“Africans have always supported other African countries in every World Cup tournament, but I can’t figure out why our own case is different,” Williams said. “Many Africans supported Mexico, not us, the South Africans. We almost shed tears, but it’s truly sad.”
~ South African Goalkeeper and captain Ronwen Williams says
If Nigerians fully understood the extent of the damage the APC has caused regarding the insecurity plaguing this nation, the party wouldn't even secure a million votes in the next election. Unfortunately, extreme poverty and stomach infrastructure will likely force people to vote against their own interests again.

These are not food.
These are chemicals designed to make food last longer on a shelf, look better under fluorescent lights, and taste good enough that you buy it again.
Your liver has to process every single one.
Your gut bacteria have to survive them.
Your immune system has to decide whether they are friend or threat.
Most of the time, it decides threat.

I was inside Agbowo, visiting a friend.
On our way back, men of the Nigerian Army made us lay flat, on the expressway in front of UI.
That was my first time experiencing bulala from the soldiers.
I cannot forget that day.
General Sani Abacha spent 54 months as Nigeria's Head of State and died #OnThisDay, June 8, 1998, at the age of 54. The Kanuri dictator was born on a Monday, died on a Monday and was buried on a Monday.
So, where were you the day Abacha died? #HistoryVilleAsks
