A TRIBUTE TO DIEPREYE ALAMIEYESEIGHA

The news of your demise came as a shock and a rude awakening to me. This thing called life! Is that it? Just like that? Gone with the wind like a blade of grass! Why then? Why do you have to go through so much negativity that eventually tarnished your image for a life that is so ephemeral? Chai....

If you had used the £1.8m cash found in your London home to build a factory in Bayelsa and employed the jobless youths of your kinsmen who are mostly graduates, I believe there will be uncountable people crying their eyes out in front of your house as I write this tribute not minding that you gave them a lease of life with money stolen from the government.

If you had built a world class hospital in Bayelsa with the £10m you used to buy a single house in London, and employed world class medical professionals, you may be alive today as there may not be a need to rush you to a Port Harcourt hospital for treatment. As I write this article, millions of people in Nigeria and all over the world would have risen in your defence against the request that you be extradited to the UK for prosecution.

Rather than people do any of these things, they are happily sleeping in their houses and jesting about the circumstances surrounding your sudden death. Some people are even asserting that you have feigned your own death, which is in tandem with your feminine disguise from the UK. If you must know, your smartness was not responsible for your escape. The authorities turned a blind eye because they had their hands on something more interesting. Moreso, your leaving the UK was a loss to Nigeria and a gain to Britain. So, who is the fool? WE are! In your next life, when you hear British diplomacy, take a bow and run like a bat out of hell.

Let this be a lesson to all of us, particularly those stealing Nigeria blind. We came to this world with nothing and we will leave this world with nothing. Whatever you call your own in this world is not permanent
