Not the best of times to work at FIRS

As the Courts dig deep into the quick sands of the VAT imbroglio, the one

group that is in the mix is the workers of FIRS.

Sadly, as employees much as their future is at stake,they are better seen than heard at this point in time.

I can imagine the mental torture they are going through at this stage in their working lives. More so for the oldies than the newbees.

For the new workers especially those who would have moved mountains to get in, it is about to start raining.

For where hitherto, they must have heaved a huge sigh of relief, their struggles may just about to begin.

However, one thing that cannot be taken from them is the experience gathered so far.

With luck on their side additional qualifications and new skills may serve them well.

For the oldies, changing jobs in the twilight of their public service career maybe one hell of a task.

They should be consoled by the experience acquired. Their states may need their services as big guns should the FIRS job become lacklustre.

On my part, I hope and seriously so, that those who had been at the receiving end of their past chicanery would not be now having a good laugh.

In all this, one thing is clear anything that has a beginning must have an end.

Even Matthew in the Bible retraced his step. For the Pious among the staff, this maybe a good opportunity for their Matthew experience.

For now the ding dong continues but I hope the courts are not dragged in the mud for what is happening is an idea whose time has come.

The courts may be on the brink of heroism or disaster. The choice certainly, is theirs to make.

Another issue in all this could be the liberation of states like Lagos, Rivers and Ogun state.

This is in respect of the age old practice of moving from a dormant state to FIRS to become a Boss while workers in the active states are suffering.

Now, a reverse movement may well be in the offing. Workers at the FIRS struggling to make it to Rivers State, Lagos and Ogun States.

I can see affidavits rolling out in respect of change in states of Origin. Do worse things not happen?
