Opinion: Each and Every One of Us Against the State, By Uddin Ifeanyi

An embarrassing silence falls on the company at lunch, unsettled only by the shuffling of well-shod feet. “It is not done in the industry”, one of the company finally blurts out. But whatever the “industry” does or does not do, this version of the Nigerian dilemma presents us with what another banker friend refers to as a “Mercedes Benz G-Wagon problem”. The bankers I spoke to have spent all their working lives following the cash. For their banks , and, alas, for themselves.

But do journalists deserve to ride G-Wagons too? Or put differently, there’s no reason why journalists’ instincts for self-preservation should be less well-honed than those of bankers. At the heart of much of what ails our nation is this penchant for individuals to assess what each can prise out of every situation, rather than concern with possible gains to the commonweal.
