Who is to blame? Pt 3...[Captain Danjuma Maigeri (rtd), KAI Boss + The Olarogun’s Family]?

The scene is set in Captain Danjuma Maigeri (rtd) expansive office at Alausa. One wonders what the helmsman of the KAI is doing with such an expansive office when you are entering it for the first time.
Nigerians like big things and the higher you move in an organization/corporation, the bigger your office space becomes.

Captain Danjuma Maigeri (rtd) was lost in thought as well…

How could it have come to this?
We started well on a very good footing. Now, all the achievements we have recorded are being flooded away by our errant personnel. Where did we get it wrong? Is it in the expansion of the force or is it that we have not pay attention to the quality of the men and the women that we were recruiting? Hmmn…there was no way we could have avoided expanding. Our scope of operational reach had to be expanded for optimal effectiveness. Should I throw in the towel now? No o…the KAI Brigade is at a very low point…if I leave now, I will not be celebrated. I have to do something fast to redeem my image. What should I do o? How can I turn the psyche of this meat-and-soup cum cigarettes and ogogoro snatchers around to do what they are supposed to do effectively?

I have to convene a meeting of the Area Commanders as a first measure, brainstorm with them and then go all out to prosecute the war on errant Lagosians. Wait o…come to think of it, these people have to eat. With all this reports that my people raid roadside hawkers and release their goods to them less recharge cards and other quick disposables, how will they not be encouraged to keep on going back to the same place to trade? My personnel at Oshodi are even emboldened up to the point of collecting royalty from street vendors and hawkers. KAI!
I think I know what I have to do, wage a war on two fronts; get my men to go out more and then set up a taskforce to monitor their activities. I hope that works.

As if on cue, Bisi, Captain Danjuma Maigeri’s delectable secretary walks in bringing in a file. He tells her to convene a meeting of the Area Commanders for 10:00am the following morning.

The Olarogun’s Family

The Olarogun’s family is an interesting one. Pa Adeniyi is a retired civil servant whose last post was Head of Revenue Board. At the end of the month, he was getting three times his normal salary from extras he got from people trying to curry his favor. From that, he could afford to take extra wives and he at that time barred them from working. Unfortunately, his good times didn’t last long. All his fair-weather friends deserted him after his retirement because he couldn’t dole out cash again like before. Little by little, Pa Adeniyi couldn’t keep up with feeding his large family. The change in government effectively changed all the old guards at all State parastatals.

Now, Pa Adeniyi has four wives and a total of 17 children. His last two children, Risikat and Abiodun were the worst affected of all his children. They were not really fortunate to have a somewhat opulent upbringing like their older siblings. Now, Risikat tries to make ends meet by engaging in one of the oldest professions in the world while Abiodun sells peppermintand Recharge cards at Iyana Oworo, Ilaje Bariga.
