And I have arrived with news of a scandalous comment that I heard just now on FAAJI FM 106.5 while working on Laptop in my Lagos flat (point of correction, not Osborne Ikoyi flat o).
Baba Gbanhin did a great job with a woman on set. The guy called from Ilaro, an Ogun State border town, and said, “Ha! I am at home, no job no money. There is no money in Nigeria.” He spoke in Yoruba Language. The anchors then subjected him to series of questioning until he said, and he was confident and very proud saying that, “How can we have money in Nigeria when now we are in Border doing Fayawo (smuggling) and they are blocking us from doing it?”
He was then asked: “But why do you choose to earn your living through criminal means?” to which he replied, “If we don’t smuggle rice into Nigeria, how much rice do you have to eat in the country?”
I trust Baba Gbanhin (or what is the name of that other anchor?), who slammed him with a big one: “But you are asked to come register with government if you want to be part of importation of rice into Nigeria through the border. Why do you choose to illegally pursue a business that make you criminal against State?”
NOW this is where I am going. What the guy who called from Ilaro said will shock you. What did he say. Sit back and enjoy yourself while the concluding part is loading!
The guy came with a bombardier: “If I register with government it means I will be giving my money to the government. Why should I give my money to the government?”
THAT ENDS IT!
But before I round up, one woman and one man called from Owode, precisely Benin/Nigeria border town in Ogun State and they said, respectively, that “There is money in Owode. Our women are working so our men. And there are several jobs in Owo and we are doing good and great things with money.”
Another woman then called from Iyana Iyesi and she said: “Anybody who says there is no money in Nigeria is lying. There is money and we are making good use of it. Let those who are claiming that there is no money and using it to want to destroy the good image of Buhari change for good because, it is only the
lazy that is crying of no money. Okay, we have people who are building new houses and buying new cars now. So, nobody should tell us Buhari is reason for his or her having no money. If you do one business or job and it does not bring money, try another one and stop blaming Buhari.”
The anchors then said: “We are throwing this open to let people know that while they are sitting in one place crying of no money, there quite a great number of other people in this same Yoruba Land and Nigeria who are achieving a lot with money. So, you have no excuse.”
Reactions to Post
Isaac Adewale Fabiyi So something good can still come out of one of AIT/Ray Power stations? This is a clear departure from what their boss stands for.
Congratulations Life is full of decent opportunities for those that are ready to work hard. No easy money any where. Get Quick Mentality is dangerous and adversely affecting our people .Ise ni ogun ise. Hardwork is the solution against poverty. In the 21st,we all have to be Multi- skilled and well trained to face life challenges. Ona kan ko wo oja mo. God bless all the hard working,dilligent Nigerians. 2018 will be more rewarding. The worst is over and economy is getting more stabilised now after the GEJ destruction by reckless looting of his fellow psychopathic heartless kleptomanics who set us back ..God is in control of Nigeria..Pay your tax to the government and challenge your Governors and Local Government Chairmen if they are not performing. Demand for good hospitals,roads,schools,electricity,water and affordable low cost housing for the masses.
I agree with these women but i will like to draw their attention to the an adage that says what Turns front to someone also back to another, many People are very hardworking even more than them but were less privileged, i mean no financial prospects while some had financial opportunities but lack business orientation but it is very difficult for the duo to combine and share the potentials.
