Buba Marwa: the talk and the walk
Writing about people you know is painful especially when it does not put them in a good light.
Oyinlola served the army where I
schooled. He was a decent Tennis player. He played competitively up to National level.We shared some good Tennis moments together and he was generous in talk and deed.
Unfortunately, as Military Governor of Lagos State, he made Buba Marwa shine.
Lagos roads were dis repaired and Prince blamed it on a lack of bitumen. Fast forward to his replacement by Buba Marwa and in a flash bitumen appeared on Lagos roads.
That was how Buba Marwa became a star. But some people are desirous of dimming the star with talk of Dele Giwa and the deadly killer Bomb.
That is not today, the bone of contention here.
It is about NDLEA, the job that threw the name, Oyakhilome into national consciousness.
It made Fidelis Oyakhilome after his popular school to land program in Rivers State and also unmade him, courtesy Jennifer Madike.
If Buba Marwa thinks he can talk himself out of the challenges inherent in the job, then he has sadly misread his brief.
Every now and again Marwa is in the news talking about quantity of Drugs consumed by Nigerians and the price of sniffer Dogs.
I think the job and Nigerians deserve more from Marwa.
