In Nigeria, we are known to be steeped in corruption and the canker worm has eaten into the very fabric of the Nigerian polity so much so that even the president is not innocent. But fate has a way of solving problems if man does not take action. The laws of nature hold that in a state of heightened chaos, order is restored via replacement reactions. This implies that the chaos would consume itself and order will return. This is what has started happening in Nigeria with corrupt officials now beginning to blow the trumpet on each other in order to escape the axe of natural justice. This is visible in the most recent comedy spectacle that was played out in the national assembly in Abuja about a day ago (15th March 2012). 
        The embattled SEC boss who has been shown to abuse her office threw mud at the lawmakers grilling her Under fire Director General of the Security and Exchange Commission, Arunma Oteh, fought back fiercely today after being accused by lawmakers for abusing her office and embarking on limitless spending.Today, Ms. Oteh said the lawmakers are furious at her because she turned down the request of the chairman, House capital market committee, Hernan Hembe, for a N44million tip. Ms Oteh said the lawmaker first asked for N39 million to defray the cost of the ongoing public hearing, and when she denied, the chairman asked for N5million.  That was in addition to the commission sponsoring a foreign trip for members of the committee, and paying them estacodes.  
    The hefty accusations have unsettled the mood at the hearing, which is being beamed live on television, and lawmakers are scrambling to play down the concerns. After the allegations were made, Mr. Hembe asked to identify representatives of the EFCC and the ICPC at the hearing, and said he was surrendering himself to their probe over the charges. Lawmakers discussed informally the possibilities of containing the news, with senior members questioning why the event was screened live in the first instance.  Premium could not ascertain the veracity of Ms. Oteh's allegation against the lawmaker but sources close to her said she arrived the hearing today fuming and threatening that she would unsettle the lawmakers and make them pay dearly for humiliating her Wednesday. Little by little dem de lick peppersoup finish...one day they will all expose themselves.
