Stella Oduah: my thoughts.

She is the Minister of Aviation in Nigeria, the sector responsible for the manning of aircrafts and airports in the country. This voluptous lady minister recently acquired two sophisticated and high-techy cars worth 225million naira. For her personal security. Did your jaw drop? No need to do that, afterall this is Nigeria where a public office holder is celebrated in the stench of corruption. Even after she is proven to be guilty beyond all reasonable doubts.

Anyway, why i am picking on Stella today is because of the following........

Number one:
I am trying to understand why she has to use Aviation (public) funds for her bullet-proof cars' business.

Number two:
I am also trying to figure out the reason for the extra beefing up of her security protocols, since as a minister, she is entitled to that. I mean, why should she try to acquire those high-techy cars unless something is up in her sleeves recently. Unless, she has soiled her hands even more.

Number three:
Those cars, are they really worth that amount or was it inflated.

Number four:
How are we sure that the money was really used to purchase the cars; and are we sure that was all the money that was involved.

Finally:
How did the money materialize since Jonathan's government is so broke and incapable of meeting ASUU demands.

As part of the youths of today, i cannot say that i am impressed with the Aviation sector. I cannot say that adequate security routines are implored in our airports. I mean, few weeks ago, there was the crash of that plane conveying the body of a late Governor in one of our airports. Whether the blame is hanged on the heads of the dead pilots because of their stubbornness, the fact still remains that if the airport officials had done their jobs and security checks well, probably, that crash might've been abated. Or even the case of the little teenage boy that recently beat airport security checks and made a name as the stowaway of 2013, in a bid for greener pastures.
Yet, someone who is responsible for the security of air passengers' lives and airports is busy securing her life, to the detriment of the masses.

Also, Stella's act will surely give more impetus to the striking ASUU, and the government's "economy will crash should they heed to their demands" reason will only be seen as a bluff. Afterall, if an individual can whisk away that huge sum of money illegally, without questioning or immediate sack, surely there must be more to satisfy ASUU's demands.

Still, one cannot also imagine how the mind of the honourable Minister works. It seems so commonsensical that such heavy spendings, at this time of students' forceful confinement at home in the name of strike, will surely attract attention. Anyway, she got what she bargained for. The attention!!!

On the part of the government, if this matter will be swept away like all others, then surely, something is wrong with the whole system.

Meanwhile, let me hope that one of the cars will be auctioned to recover some of the money, and ease away the worries of Nigerians, ASUU and millions of Nigeria students.
