Whistle Blower! Billionaires start to treat drivers, house helps and their other workers better in the wake of whistle blower culture

By The Capital

Predictably, the whistle-blower deal is causing ripples within the circuits of the filthy rich. The possibility of losing their ill-gotten wealth lacerates the peace and charmed life of Nigeria’s super rich, as you read.

No thanks to the incumbent government, staff and associates of the affluent may walk into the offices of Nigeria’s anti-graft agencies to reveal locations of the illicit stash of local and foreign currencies stolen from public purse by the country’s former and incumbent public office holders.

The whistle blower culture is undoubtedly getting results. Ever since, some faceless dude blew the whistle and revealed to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) the warehouse where the former Director General (DG) of the Nigerian Customs Service parked 17 vehicles, all the corrupt rich men and women in the country have become apprehensive. They are jittery as you read.

Consequently, many of them are devising means to treat their poor servants with greater respect. They are thinking of increasing their salaries and allowances. They are worried that their poor servants, Personal Assistants, drivers, security men and office staff may become whistle blowers to get a reward of 2.5% to 5% of the value of whatever loot is recovered from them. This is why it’s always good to treat your workers right. Let’s hope too many of Nigeria’s affluent won’t learn the hard way.
