THE 'RUNS' GUYS

 

SOMETIME last year news filtered in front in from the seat of power that Ribadu must to school. After much cry power from prominent Nigerians, Eze still went to school. Human right activist, Chief Gani Fawehinmi cried from his hospital bed in London over the removal of Ribadu as chairman of EFCC. He said that this marks the end of the anti-corruption war in Nigeria.

   "I have always been big fan of EFCC and Ribadu is a good friend of mine from childhood. The other day at maza-maza bus-stop I was seeing my sister off to the park. I spotted two boys holding themselves along the road, suddenly two men appeared from no-where. They presented their ID cards as members of the Nigeria police force. They demanded in a hard voice, "Can I see what is in your bag?" Christian one of the boys said, oga officer we are students of……"before he could finish, the police ordered him, my friend, don’t be stupid open your bag.

 The second policeman in angry voice demanded, don’t prove stubborn, officer move him to the station, Christian obeyed and opened the bag. He asked. "Have you seen it? There is nothing there; it is just my credit card, my airtime and my control number that a white woman sent to me after my two months chatting with her. "The police man marveled at the courage of the boy and was short of words.

  The other officer could no longer bear it. You must be yahoo boys, no sir, it is our business, Christian protested. We are collecting the money the white people collected from our forefathers. I bought my first car (Golf 3) with this business. It is really a lucrative one. Indeed the officers looked hopelessly at the boys.

  Ok, when we get to the station you will tell the IPO. The boys asked without fear, who is the IPO, no be Mr. Tony. I always settle him after my job pay well. Don’t insult police officers, the policeman fumed. That is offence number one. Ok, I will take you to EFCC. The boys replied, EFCC are our friends. Since their oga went back to school all of us are working hand in hand. We are five and six, no shaking. The police men got tired of the whole drama.

  Ok, what you have for boys, the policeman demanded…but the yahoo guy replied him ‘ Oga, una bi chairmen now. The other police officer called the other by the side. "These boys are rich oh. This their yahoo business is paying well, even oga know them. We can even be their friends". They then went back to the yahoo boys and told them, oya settle us make una carry una wahala dey go. Thank you sir, we no too hold pay but make una just manage this one .Next time we go see una! But the policemen were visibly angry  and retorted ‘ do you think we are hungry officers? come on make una arrange us our right. Make una no waste our time. Your money is 10k, no story, the boys settled them with 5k and promised to take them to shark joint in the evening.

"My brother we go dey come every-day to look for all this small boys. Yahoo is culture of our people now," the policemen said.
