NSCDC
I *hear he was suspended
I *hear he can't sleep bcos of the incident
I *hear his children are being poked at on social networks,
I see it everywhere,
In the movies,
On customised tee shirts,
it is used at the most unexpected times
in the most unrelated conversations.
Damn!
His life is wrecked!
Should he be blamed?
What if he didn't know?
What if there is no existing functioning website?
What if he is just another victim
another unfortunate puppet of 'my oga at the top'?
The effect of the incident from the man, his son and his wife....
The Man:
"It all happened like a dream
The nervous coughs came still my attackers didn't let off
They came at me from every corner.
Those three pairs of eyes pierced into my soul
Searching for faults.
The sweating began,
At some point,
the air-conditioning seemed to have lost its cooling.
I had thought it a dream come true
To be on the big screen
It turned into a real dream come true then
Drastically changed into
my worst nightmare.
I stuttered, I searched for a way out
And then I said it
'ww.nscdc' *clears throat*
'That's all'
I relaxed for a while
thought I had escaped
Until I looked at their faces
they stared at with surprise, mockery...etched on their faces.
I wept,
couldn't stop thinking about it.
The next day I was summoned to a board
They didn't even listen to me
They just sent me home...
And then the nightmare truly began
My picture was all over the place
Bbm status to Facebook and twitter
Some people went as far as doing a video for me, they might even produce a movie on it
My children pay for it
My wife goes through the pain of seeing me like this,
They could have as well
shot me bleed..."
His son:
"What if he didn't go for the interview?
What if he had listened?
What if he had listened to mum?
What if he had listened to his instincts?
What if he had listened to me?
What if he wasn't my father?
What if he had just know the flimsy website?
What if?...what if??...
What if...what if it all never happened?"
His wife:
"Oh my husband,
my sweetheart,
it hurts me to see you like this.
Every night I climb into bed and drift off to sleep just to awake to see your eyes dim with sorrow and tears.
From the look on your face,
I can guess you were thinking about it again.
Those people have ruined our home,
they've made you a laughing stock!
They've poked fun at olowo ori mi.
Little children laugh at you all over the world,
our friends laugh at you in secret
some even dare to laugh in your face.
My king if only I knew how to take your pain away, I would
I would, if...
If only I could make them stop, I would
I would, if...
But I can't do all that
Can I?
But what can I do to rectify this?
Bring in the wig and the gown
The human rights act has been torn down, I guess
There's got to be a law that punishes for the trauma you've been put through.
There should be
and I will not rest until justice is served.
I will fight for you my king
and I will stand by you through this
great warrior, you will survive
And honour respect lost due to this unfortunate incident
will return to you.
I solemnly promise on my love."
My concluding thoughts:
There should have been a dress rehearsal!
Even if there wasn't provision for that,
the medion should have skillfully manipulated the situation,
they should have painted their guest in the best light possible.
Put yourself in the guy's shoes and you'ld realise
THAT
you might have fared worse.
The after effect of the interview is however unpalatable,
trauma inducing and
spirit crushing.
I *hear
his wife wants to sue,
I think she should
and I hope she wins
BUT
would that restore his life, job, dignity etc back?
