You go believe say person wey suppose dey judge ethics matter for Senate, him former waka for America now show sey e get wahala. Neda Imasuen, di oga wey dey in charge of Senate Committee on Ethics, don find himself for serious kasala as tori about im past don show for open for inside market square.

E no be today, but na now everything don cast. For 2009, one madam wey dem call Daphne Shyfield carry her hard-earned money, give Mr. Imasuen make e help am fight court case. Madam believe say she don jam better lawyer wey go defend am like lion, but na so di matter take bend.

Di woman say after she give Imasuen di money, e no con run di case well, and di mata con get as e be. New York bar people no dey play, dem con send am letter make e respond, but di matter no too gel. Dem call am, e no pick. Dem send paper, e no reply.

Before dem fit arrange di matter well, oga don waka enter Nigeria dey run politics. If you think say di matter go end for dia, you never hear tori finish. Na di same man wey get wahala for America na im dem con make Senate Ethics Chairman for Nigeria.

As e enter position, e con begin handle mata dem dey bring come im side. Last week, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, wey be Kogi Central Senator, con talk say she get serious complain about Senate President, Godswill Akpabio. She say e don use power pressure am for work matter.

Di tori long well well, but as Natasha drop her petition, who be di person wey suppose judge am? Na Imasuen! E look di paper, shake head, con talk say na ‘dead on arrival’. Di question now be say, how Imasuen wey get wahala for America take waka enter Senate Ethics Committee?

Who vet am? Who check im background before e enter di position? Dis kind matter don happen before. No be today Nigerian politicians dey get controversial background. Nigerians dey look, dem dey observe, dem dey ask question, but e con be like film for our front.

For America, if person get issue, e go face am, but for Nigeria, e fit still waka enter big position. Imasuen na example of how politics fit change person situation. But e get one thing wey Nigerians sabi do well—dem no dey forget.

Social media people don dig everything out, drag di senator sotay, e never talk anything about di mata. As dem drop di news say New York don disbar am since 2010, e never reply. E just dey hope say di matter go die.

But e no go die, because e go remain for internet like village oracle. E never clear if di Labour Party go act or if Senate go take action, but as e be so, e don show say Nigeria get im own way of handling things.

If na for better country, Imasuen for don step down since, but for here, e fit just maintain low profile small, before e go show face again like say nothing happen. Di question wey Nigerians dey ask be say, how ethics chairman go dey handle case when im own matter still dey ground?

If di Senate really wan do better, make dem look di matter well. But as e be, na di system wey we dey try understand.

I go break this matter down for you so e go dey clear. You see, the wahala wey dey happen for northeastern Nigeria no be today, and one of the biggest problem be say, even though international aid dey come with good intention, e still dey enter wrong hand. Imagine say person wan help you with food, but before e reach your hand, some bad belle people don hijack am. Na wetin don happen for that side.

Back for 2017, Nigerian government confirm say more than half of the aid wey dem suppose give people wey Boko Haram wahala don pursue comot for their house, no even reach them. E just vanish like magic.

This one show say the system get serious leakage, and groups like Boko Haram sabi how to take advantage of dat kain thing. If dem fit collect aid, whether na food, medicine or even money, dem go use am take boost their operation, instead of make e help the innocent people wey really need am.

Wetin come even make the matter worse na say some big international NGOs, like Action Against Hunger, don get case wey people accuse them say aid wey dem dey share, somehow, dey land for Boko Haram hand. Dem don defend say dem no get hand for that kain thing, but even the fact say e fit happen don make plenty people dey reason say, “Wait o, this humanitarian aid sef, e dey help or e dey add to problem?”

As e be say USAID na one of the biggest players for this aid matter, dem come decide say dem no wan make terrorists chop from their money again. So dem introduce strong counter-terrorism rules inside their grant agreement. Meaning say, before any NGO wey dey collect their money go help person, dem go first check say the person no get any past connection with Boko Haram or any bad group.

But make we reason am well, how dem wan take know who be who for that kind environment? You fit see one pikin wey Boko Haram kidnap when e small, force am do bad thing, then later e escape. If that pikin no get food, water or medical help because of one document wey talk say make dem no assist ex-insurgents, na which kind wickedness be that?

This kain wahala make organizations like UNICEF talk say dem no fit dey work under USAID rules like that. For their mind, dem dey do humanitarian work, dem no wan dey do police work. If dem go dey screen everybody first before dem fit help, then dia mission go dey useless because hungry no dey look face.

Another serious gbege be how Nigerian military dey try handle the security side of this matter. Dem carry idea come wey make dem set up “super camps” wey be like military fortress. But the disadvantage come be say, e leave plenty rural areas wide open.

So Boko Haram dey roam there like king, and e don hard for humanitarian workers to even enter go help the people wey dey there. Dem come estimate say almost 800,000 people no fit see food or medical help because of this arrangement.

E no help matter as military and the humanitarian organizations no too gel. Wahala don even burst before wey military lock NGO offices because dem believe say some of them dey support Boko Haram indirectly. So e be like say two people wey suppose work together no even dey trust each other.

Then we get another problem wey be fraud and mismanagement of funds. You sabi say for inside USAID-funded projects, one company wey dem call Chemonics International Inc. bin get serious kasala because their Nigerian subcontractor dey do anyhow with money. At the end, Chemonics gree pay heavy fine because of how dem take mismanage aid money. This kind thing dey make people dey lose trust for aid organizations, and e dey show say USAID need to shine their eye well well.

The question wey dey ground now be say, wetin we go do to make sure aid no go waste, and e no go land for the wrong hand? Some solutions dey, and if dem fit put eye well, e go help.

First, USAID need to make sure say dem get strong monitoring system. No be to just dey dash out money, dem suppose dey check how e dey take reach the real people wey need am. If dem say dem go use third-party monitors, dem need to make sure say na people wey no go do magomago.

Secondly, dem need to update policy wey go require NGOs to submit post-distribution monitoring reports. Meaning say, after dem don share aid, make dem show evidence say the aid really reach the right people. No be just talk, dem need solid proof.

Another thing be say dem need to monitor how contracts and procurement dey happen. Because most times, na inside that side fraud dey happen. If procurement no dey transparent, e mean say money fit miss, and aid no go reach people wey need am.

Finally, USAID and other donors suppose find way to balance security measures with humanitarian work. Yes, dem suppose make sure say aid no go enter terrorist hand, but at the same time, dem no suppose block NGOs from doing their job. Open dialogue fit help to clear misunderstandings and set proper rules wey go work for both sides.

Las las, the aim na to make sure say aid go fit reach the right people, and no be the people wey go use am take do bad thing. The matter dey delicate, but if everybody dey sincere, dem fit find way to make am work.

You don hear wetin dey sup? El-Rufai and Tinubu mata don turn one kind political k-leg wey fit make person just siddon dey look.

So the gist be say, presidency don dey beg El-Rufai e come back join dem for government. Na Daniel Bwala, wey be Tinubu media aide, na im use e hand post tmake he mata for X (wey dem dey call Twitter before before).

But you sabi say El-Rufai no be small pikin for politics, e don dey shake table since e commot as Kaduna governor, dey drop political hot takes on top Tinubu government. No be today e and Tinubu don sabi each other.

During campaign, El-Rufai gree put body wella for Tinubu side, especially for Northwest. Dem even reason say make e follow chop ministerial position—na Ministry of Power and Gas dem wan give am.

E don dey plan how to arrange better light for Naija, talk say gas go help make light no dey blink like Christmas decoration. Baba even gather team of experts wey go help run the show.

But wahala no dey finish for Naija politics. DSS come talk say make dem no rush give am the ministerial position, say e get some “unresolved issues” wey dem still dey investigate.

Nobody sabi wetin dey the DSS paper, but e be like say na strong tin. After DSS put sand for the garri, El-Rufai vex go meet Tinubu, tell am straight say e no do again.

Say e wan go focus on e PhD for Netherlands. As e waka, e come suggest make dem give Jafaru Ibrahim Sani the position instead.

Omo, El-Rufai no even look back, e don carry bag, fly commot.

Na dis kain political wahala dey make presidency dey reason say “abeg, make El-Rufai no dey outside dey throw stone”. Dem sabi say El-Rufai sabi work, and e better make e dey inside than make e dey outside dey fire dem.

But as dem dey beg am, El-Rufai no wan gree o! E dey fire Tinubu government back-to-back. And no be only him talk dey make waves, some groups dey even para for am.

One civil rights group talk say El-Rufai dey use corner-corner find way re-enter government. Dem call am “evil genius” and even talk say e use him time as Kaduna governor do some kain wahala wey dem no like.

E don turn wahala on top wahala because if Tinubu bring El-Rufai back, wahala dey; if e no bring am back, wahala still dey. Na so politics be!

Dem sabi say El-Rufai no be anyhow man, if e enter government again, e go bring wahala, and if e no enter, e go still give dem headache from outside. So now, some people just dey reason whether, “El-Rufai go gree come back or e go stay dey fire Tinubu government from far?”

Na only time go tell. But sha, politics for Naija no be today! The way things dey go, we fit wake up tomorrow hear another tori wey go change the whole mata again!
