Ogbanago Muhammed Ibrahim is a native of Olamaboro Odolu LGA. He is a graduate of College of Education Ankpa in Ankpa LGA.
Ogbanago, whose sincerity and incommensurable act brought him to limelight some times in July last year, was until now a staff of Technocrime who was attached to UBA on salary of #30,000. The act that exposed his integrity is that, that deserves much attention and emulation.
At a time when people were bemoaning the current economic realities, when the value of the naira was eroding faster than the speed of light, when prices of household commodities have hit the roof, when almost all the economic indices were in the negative, when Nigerians became more fantastically corrupt, he saw a wad of $10,000, equivalent
of #3.5 million Naira as at that time. Ordinarily, he would have made away with the money for which hard work he can only get such amount of money in 10years of service (with #30,000 monthly pay), a act that is very common.
Donald Trump will say “Give the blacks money and they will fight and create hatred and enmity for themselves, but instead of OGBANAGO taking that money that he found at the entrance of the bank being the security man on duty and leave no traces for suspicion or enmity returned the money, This act has not only earned him trust of the bank manager but have succeeded in building his integrity outside the chores of the country, this made him to be celebrated by so many illustrious sons and daughters of Nigeria including the chairman of UBA, Mr. Tony Elumelu, for the purpose of confirmation, documentation and recommendation. Here are some of the awards he received;
– Igala merit award
-Excellent award by UBA Chairman branch Lagos.
-merit award by Technocrime
-The real son of Igala
-Omo olu abi of Yoruba (Good child of Yoruba) e.t.c….
I want to believe that with the latter I can be quick to conclusion that with his antecedents and delectable track records he is fit to occupy a political position. Kogites it is now time we support integrity, personality, responsiveness, antecedents and a jugon when it comes to humanitarian services rather than supporting money and
selling our rights for some pure water change that will later turn hot coal in our mouth.
I quickly use this medium to call on Ogbanago Muhammed Ibrahim to come back home and get to a position for a quick overhaul and better representation come 2019. We are no more after money but better representation.
