whistleblower

Femi Fani-kayode questioned chief E.K clark’s decision of placing soldiers in the streets of Lagos last July during the oil subsidy. He was really angry about it because she was given the floor to speak and was greatly applauded. Chief clark felt greatly embarrassed and aimed to pay back Femi for his insolence.

On august 1^st 2012, during a public lecture, chief clark proclaimed that femi was holding himself as s moral icon when behind the scene, he actually embezzled money while he was the minister of aviation. He said that the money embezzled by femi where meant to be used to stop planes from crashing and to reform the aviation sector.

During his speech, he also accused others like former heads of states,former presidents and vice presidents, former governors and federal ministers. He also accused the northern leaders of being behind the book haram and it all started under president obasanjo’s watch. He accused generals babangida and buhari of being behind the attacks and they should come clean if they weren’t  

Chief clark used the opportunity to target all his enemies without restraints. Anyone who was taught to be guilty of a crime under the new administration was ultimately pronounced guilty chief clark. People like Chief obafemi Awolowo, Olusegun Obasanjo and Bello were all arrested after the incident but were eventually released. The people who were behind the persecution were eventually murdered shortly before the release of their victims.

God alone rule the affairs of men and determines the destiny of a nation. People at high positions see themselves like they have the power over life but that’s not the case. God all controls all.

CSR PROJECT

 In my previous blog, was the definition of CSR and its concepts. Our instructor told us to mix up in our groups, she didn't want an all girls or an all boys group. I feel when we mix up we will relate well.  In my group we were only three. They were the best group members so far in my stay in AUN they were committed and ready to work hard to achieve this goal, We went to different organizations and we were turned down, they were giving excuses that didn't make any sense. We finally got to a place where we were accepted the reception was so welcoming i was glad to be there and the place was called NAS MERIDIEN HOTEL. The manager was so glad she commented on us and said good things about our school, so we had high hopes and we were ready to really work with her.
she assured us that we had their full support and all we needed do was to make a formal proposal which we also did and handed over to them. We made a proposal and we handed it over to her. We all thought we were going to get through so easily but i must tell you, it wasn't easy at all. But at least we got something even if it wasn't what we were expecting. At least half bread is better than none.
