Nigerian rapper, Weird MC has taken a shot at the
recently concluded Big Brother Naija reality show, while celebrating the
UBA security officer who was rewarded for returning an envelope that
contained $10,000, belonging to a customer. Read below:
HE RETURNED 10,000 DOLLARS
Last year
July, a security man attached to UBA , Oba Akran Branch Ikeja Lagos did
the unthinkable. He returned an opened envelope a customer lost in the
bank that contained 10, 000 US dollars (about 3.5 million naira by
then). His monthly salary was below 40, 000 naira. Some Nigerians then
especially the youths mocked him on the Internet by insisting that he
was not a normal Nigerian. Some said that his village gods made him not
to take the money. Most interesting was those that he insisted that he
will die poor. The man’s name is Ibrahim Mohammed Ogbanago. Yesterday
at UBA BANK annual general meeting, heaven opened for him. Though the
bank refused to announce how much they gave him, two governors gave him
total of 15, 000 dollars and the Senate will honour him physically on
Tuesday with an award and 5 million naira. Some Nigerians tonight and
afterwards will celebrate the winner of Big Brother Africa that will go
home with 25 million. But the cash reward for BBN is for what? Ibrahim
got his reward for hard work, honesty and integrity not by being indoors
guzzling alcohol, partying, smoking or bathing naked for the world to
see. I celebrate Ibrahim and urge Nigerians to know that honesty and
integrity can be rewarded. We must shun all short cuts to wealth. Be
contended but work hard.”
