life of a vagabond
Emeka Ofor,the owner of Enugu Electricity Distribution Company,(EEDC), recently built a fully equipped public library named Waziri Alhassan Public Library, in Daura,Katsina State. The Library is said to be worth about N2.2b! My question is : how many such projects has Emeka Ofor built in his home town Oraifite,Ekwusigo Local Government,Anambra State,or indeed in any other part of Igbo land?
The only thing the man has done is give his customers exorbitant electricity bills,then use the proceeds to massage his ego before his masters in the North. Mind you,the library is not the only project he has built up north. There are several others covering schools,boreholes,health centres,etc. For him,charity begins in Daura,the home town of the dictator and the members of the supreme cabal council of the republic!
You will recall that today,former Governor Chinwoke Mbadinuju of Anambra State can not walk the streets of Anambra freely nor imagine,not to talk of mentioning any political ambition in Anambra because while he was Governor of Anambra,he slaved for Emeka Ofor and left the state prostrate and gasping for breath.
Emeka Ofor controlled all financial allocations coming to Anambra State from the federal purse,under Mbadinuju's watch. The Governor was unable to pay civil servants for more than two years. Ask any Anambra man the worst governor that Anambra has produced,the person would not hesitate to mention Mbadinuju! Emeka Ofor was solidly behind his failure. He was the god father! While Anambra people groaned under the yoke of his evil grip on the state, he busied himself with their Commonwealth!
Nigeria is indeed such an accursed place. The system in existence in Nigeria laid by the British allows people who should rather be in jail walk the streets free,acquire influence with stolen public money,perpetuating impunity and getting away with it.
