Notes to Self…

I deliberately usually do not comment on issues relating to Diezani Alison – Madueke but usually just observe how we sometimes enjoy news about the downfall of others despite the fact that in the past we have also done things we are hope are near brought to life…

I met Diezani then Ms Diezani Agama in the late 90's…

I visited her house in Railway Compound Ebute – Metta a couple of times and once met her then boyfriend who I realised was an Usher at my RCCG Parish in Victoria Island…

Diezani used to be an Architect prior to Shell and My Relative believed that she would make a good mentor for me as I was a little confused about continuing in Architecture because the pay was crap…

Diezani was Kind and Generous with her time…

She told me about her path, past experiences in Design and Architecture…

We kept in touch but I was not good at reaching out…

I heard about her marriage to someone else Chief Allison Madueke and when I got married in 2000 she sent me a set of pots…

I also congratulated her when she went for her Masters Degree…

I can’t say what happened since then or what led to her recent corruption drama…

I may not have not benefited from the spoils et al but she clearly did not act alone…

The Beneficiaries are now Silent…

This I can boldly say based on my interactions…

Diezani was Kind to me and Made out time to encourage a young confused architect…

Some will say “A Leopard cannot change its spots”…

Or like I posted earlier “I didn’t really change…I just got tired of pretending”

“Kemi you have always been so so Naive “ abi…

I don’t know… I can only speak based on my personal experience with her..

Position and Power can be detrimental…

It’s easy for us to pretend that we are without sin after all if I stole some folders or made tons of personal photocopies using the office printer surely I cannot have committed the same crime has someone who took Billions right?

On the other hand stealing from the government coffers takes away funding that can be used to alleviate poverty and provide good. healthcare for Nigerians…

By all means these crimes should not go unpunished..However…

Let He/She who think He/She Stands (Is Incorruptible) take heed less He/She Fall
