Disappointed
with the recent illegal employment of sons and daughters of affluent Nigerians
by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) in flagrant abuse of due process and
extant provisions of the law, I penned a piece: #CBNGate:
Let’s Arrest The Culture of ‘Na mu ne’, ‘Rankadede’ in Nigeria! where I x-rayed the twin culture of ingrained
nepotism and sycophancy inherent in Nigeria. The current essay is aimed at
brainstorming solutions: how to curb employment racketeering, influence
peddling in Nigeria. We yearn for a Nigeria where excellence, merit MUST not be
sacrificed in the altar of nepotism, godfatherism or quota system. All hands
must be on deck if we must rein in entrenched employment racketeering in
Nigeria. Stop whining, take action, and do something to birth the Nigeria of
your dream!
