This weekend marks off the beginning of a very promising year, going by all the wonderful things that happened in it (for those of us that were able to see our loved ones again). You know how it feels to have good people back around you. It's like a bottle of chilled coke in the Sahara.
Well the weeks starts off on a very nice note, Liberia's finally getting a chance to build her life again. Ms (or Mrs., only God knows which one's appropriate) Ellen Johnson Sirleaf got sworn in yesterday. A woman also won elections in Chile. I think this year is already going to the women. It's your turn women, do it well.
And then the president eventually, in his characteristic unwavering (we call it strong-head, which pays us most times though) manner, rests the hammer on 14 banks who failed to meet capitalisation deadline. Some call it a milestone for Nigeria's economy, others see it as mass job loss for those in the banking sector.
Talking about job loss, it's gonna be mass one this quarter of the year with the revocation of licences. I already have a few colleagues in other banks affected (poor them) who at first were very confident that their jobs were secure. And all of a sudden, poof it went! That's the way it is, some people will definitely be affected when wrongs are been corrected.
I even got one who was asked to leave few days after he got married. You should know what the family of the bridegroom will say about the bride - harbinger of bad luck. The lady herself isn't that kind of beautiful, which spoils everything. She's not someone with the temperament that smiles at least once in a week. She's always carrying a long, stone-cold face. To crown everything up, she's FAT. Not slightly fat...no. I mean blind-man-can see-it FAT. So you can picture the rest. I'm just sorry for the poor guy who used to be the toast of all babes in the vicinity.
One sure fact is that the western world ought to brace up for the teeming crowd of 'displaced' bank-workers. They definitely will not wanna stay in Nigeria to try their luck. Some have even been talking about somewhere as far as Australia! It's one of the low sides of reforms.
One thing that comes to mind is that all these losses will not happen if people did the right things when it was necessary for them to.

Tony,
I wonder how and why guys most loved by babes end up married to fat and unattractive women.
Were they intimidated by the monstrous features of the women?
Bankers losing jobs means many single bankers will lose their girlfriends if they cannot afford them again and some may even lose their wives.
Lagos will be more melodramatic now with jobless ex-bankers all over the place and their babes wandering about in search of new comfort zones.
Female bankers will not suffer much after losing their lucrative jobs, they will carry their well circulated goods to the reliable guys in town.
I feel sorry for those who will become jobless.
Our emergency miracle working "churches" will now see the opportunities to see millions of visions for these jobless ones.
