Die Hard

Habits die hard and in the case of Mr. Ikechuwku Ogbu, they don't die at all but like the phoenix they just rise from their ashes bigger, stronger and definitely better. I have always firmly maintained that Nigerians are one of the hardiest people in the world and our ability to bend every rule no matter how rigid to suit our own ends is simply legendary or how would you classify Mr. Ogbu's wizardry? A man that was incaserated in one of Nigeria's most notorious maximum security prison, a fate which in itself is enough to bring inmates into an intimate relationship with their makers only brought out the talent in our man. He, from his prison abode ochestrated a con act using one of the oldest tricks in the book to net himself a princely sum of 12 million naira from a desperate woman who wanted to get married at all costs and by the way he is Igbo.

This also brings me to the subject of corruption, I think that the best way to eradicate corruption in Nigeria is by institutionalizing it like they did in North Korea and that simply means that everybody knows how much they would pay in bribes to each public service for an infringement like 20 naira is the premium for any driver that can't produce his license on request... catch the drift?
