If the maxim, ‘all hands must be on deck,’ is meant to encourage division of labour or, to unite people thereby stimulating them to work together and to finally be used in order to challenge the patriots to partake in the national development, unfortunately, in this modern time, many factors apart from the unfortunate position of the government functionaries, those which turn against the citizens, ironically, has really made people skeptics even in using the maxim itself to motivate the citizenry. Putting it is now nothing but a hoax and lip service.
There may have been ponzi business moguls who rob Peter to pay Paul and there were real people enriching share holding businesses like that of Dantata Success and Profitable Company, DSPC.
Nigeria needs people like Hajiya Basira Ibrahim Dantata, she has been among those rich people with the masses in their hearts. She lives a happy life in return as a rewards from God right before the final abode waiting for her in the Heaven. Yes, that good heart many believe was the major reason behind her life happiness and prosperity.
Can not we recall that recently a very old rich man lamented how he could not find pleasure in living though with the abundance of his money and properties here and abroad? It is really a mind boggling revelation that the very riches which make people to go mad in search of, are no more life companions enough to make him to live a happy life.
People are of the view that the man does not spend on philanthropy to make poor happy so that happiness could visit him in return.
He has been notoriously a person who used to shutdown businesses and factories that he owns and/or as soon as he purchases, which is a sign of indifference and likely to show off his wealth strength. All of his lamentations has been crocodile tears.
Dr Hajiya Basira Ibrahim Dantata, a decendant of that renowned merchant par excellence, has been a black sheep among all the modern rich men people reasoned.
Her business reached out to the poor and even small scale businesses, inviting them to invest in the legit gold and other merchandise she invests in. Many Nigerians, more especially people in Kano benefited from the Return of Investment, ROI, she shared with the investors periodically unfailingly. She never failed the deal, so the investors sprang out of the international poverty level as according to the United Nations.
As she maintained the good work, the evil makers frowned as a result of jealousy and cruelty or any other personal reasons best known to them, so they collaborated with one a Commission called Security and Exchange Commission, SEC.
The Commission blaimed the good-hearted Basira Dantata for giving higher returns to investors and pretexted that she failed to register with them ideally. They suddenly closed her public beneficial company, Dantata Success and Profitable Company, DSPC and the treasury of the company ceasing the business and including the capital cum the profit of both Basira and the masses.
They leaned, retained and closed all the helpless people’s monies with aspersion.
As I am writing this, the Commission violated all the laws of the land to keep people’s money with them.
It occurred all the investors who united to fight for the return of their deposited funds, stood for their money return and observed all the processes and protocols, including legal actions against the Commission but all proved abortive as the people in the Commission abused the commission’s power, vitiated the reputation of the agency in ignoring and disrespecting the public judicial institutions by disdaining the courts’ of law orders several times.
With this, investors left with no alternative more than to conclude that their hard earned money was confiscated unjustifiably, and are made to believe government is no more serious in establishment of the functionaries like SEC for the betterment of the citizens. The investors lacked all the confidence in Government.
May Allah assist Hajiya Dr. Basira Ibrahim Dantata and free her lawful treasures from all the evil synergies so that she may accomplished her dreams to salvage the poor financially and economically.
That reminds me a Hausa adage, if we failed hoisting bride on the horseback, let’s just not put any load on the her head.
