A retired chief accountant with the defunct Nigerian Electric Power Authority, Chief Taiwo Afinju, tells GODFREY GEORGE about his childhood experience and his time working at NEPA

I began to write my observations. They were stealing in bulk. The GM once approved for me to travel to like seven places. That was the first time I went to Warri, Delta State. I left Lagos at 3 pm. I had thought Warri was just around Sagamu. I got there at 10 pm or 11 pm. When I came back from Warri, I travelled to meet my mum to tell her about my experience. It was like I went to London.

In 1994, after the annulment of Chief MKO Abiola’s election, almost all the banks and finance houses collapsed. All my friends and colleagues that had left NEPA for the banks lost their jobs. My friend who had two finance houses was arrested at the airport when he wanted to run away because of the debt. This was when Gen. Sani Abacha established the Failed Bank Tribunal to arrest the bank MDs that failed. That was also when they created the Nigeria Deposit Insurance Company .

I remember one of my colleagues who, on the very day he was paid, got so drunk that he had an accident and died on the spot. One of the security guards who was paid N10m went to the bank with a big bag and asked them to give him all his money. One of my colleagues told me how he was hypnotised and swindled of N25m by someone he trusted. He came to my house to narrate it to me.Growing up was dynamic. My mum died in 2007 at the age of 90 or more. My dad who is alive will be 89. Do the math.

Quite painful for a mother to lose 11 kids out of share wickedness. Even the wicked died at the end!
