Akin Alabi reacts to news of gateman who rejected house for borehole, says his decision is unwise

Social media was recent abuzz with the news of a gateman who exhibited an unusual act of selflessness by rejecting a house gift from his boss, and instead requesting for a borehole to be built in his community.

Legit.ng reported that the Nigerian man identified as Musa Usman, was planning to resign from his job and spend time with his family, after 25 years of service to his Indian boss.

In appreciation of Usman, the boss, Mr Verghese, decided to build a house for him, to which he (Usman) rejected and requested for a community borehole in his village, because his people had to occasionally make long distance trips in search of clean water.

After the news broke on social media, members of the online community reacted with mixed reactions. Among those that expressed reservation against the gateman's decision is House of Rep elect for Egbeda/Ona Ara federal constituency, Ibadan, Oloye Akin Alabi.

Alabi expressed that even though Usman’s decision was truly selfless; it was not a wise one. According to him, he would have been able to do the greater good if he collected the house, sell it off and install multiple boreholes in the community.

He said: "Selfless decision but not very wise. Collect the house, sell it and sink multiple boreholes."

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...
