MC OLUOMO IS NOT WORTHY OF ANYTHING


As we will have it slit down our throats till we almost choked on it, veteran braodacster brought MUSILIU AKINSANYA AKA Mc Oluomo to the public via her show where he (Mc Oluomo) dished out some ideas on bringing ease to our roads in Lagos, but one Twitter user had this to say :

THREAD
Either deliberate or not, whatever it is MC Oluomo got going with the PR stunt is impressive. But it’ll require a lot more to stop me from associating him or NURTW with bloodshed and a reign of terror. Childhood days in Isolo, my mother had a shop at Afariogun in Oshodi.

Newly retired, she invested her gratuity in a fabric shop in Oshodi. Every now and then, she & friends will close shop for days & lose income, because fighting in Oshodi between gangs of MC Oluomo & his rivals. As a student having to commute Oshodi frequently, I was robbed.

Till 2019, my colleagues living in the Oshodi area worked & lived in fear at intervals due to brutal clashes and murders of alleged NURTW gangs. It was always stories of MC Oluomo & his men. Enforcing control - violence was the instrument. Many lives lost, livelihoods damaged.

Their use of arms & violence as instrument of operations is near legitimate, only the Armed forces come close. Never for once has the Lagos govt wielded the big stick, or not to my knowledge. No growth or real transformation to road transport. Yet MC Oluomo’s profile soars.

We commute humans like manure. Until they eliminate violence as the modus operandi of NURTW & drive transformation of Lagos transport, I will never see how or why a society, be it business, politics, religion or media should associate, celebrate or endorse such an institution.

It’s society telling our kids that thuggery is okay. 

It is NOT okay.

And I will say this, no matter the PR.

The history of 419 in Nigeria

Well, even in foreign countries, fingers are easily pointed at Nigerians because the outside world believe we are "419ers" Did you know that the first exponent of 419 in Nigeria was not a Nigerian? "On 18 December 1920, a certain Mr. Crentsil, a former employee of the Marine Department of the colonial government in Lagos, wrote an extraordinary letter to a contact in the British colony of the Gold Coast, today's Ghana.... It is ironic that the first known Four One Nine fraudster known to history was not a Nigerian at all, but rather a Ghanaian.  Crentsil seems to have written a number of similar letters, each time offering to provide magical services on payment of a fee.  In December 1921, he was charged by the police with three counts under various sections of the criminal code including section 419... But Crentsil was in luck; the magistrate presiding over his case discharged him with caution on the first count and acquitted him on the two others for la...
