I AM JUST DOING MY JOB!

On every lip and in every mouth,  in every heart and in most homes, most I say because every does not work in all homes.
Yes!  On every lip is the cry against corruption. Social media is bombarded per minute with news and proof of the very thing we hate but sometimes I wonder,  is corruption a man that acts on its own, if it is a man,  corruption must be really popular for it has become the talk of the town.
If it is an idea, it has permeated most hearts and the system.
We  quote scriptures to point accusing fingers to the man on the screen and the man in the news papers, we shout with Velocity at the atrocities we see in the state houses but wait o, was it the president that used your hand to sign those fraudulent papers you were asked to sign?  Did you not know it was wrong, did you not think that is an act of corruption? Of course not, you justify yourself and say "I WAS JUST DOING MY JOB! "
Oh really? The lie you told to cover up your mess,  I bet it's your governor that forced it out of your mouth, of course a little lie will help save face,  forgetting that a little lie is like the yeast that permeates deeply into the dough affecting every part of it,  and oh, you may claim you were doing it for the sake of others. You were just doing your job right?
Hey beautiful lady that sleeps around with aristos, you say it's ushering job you are going for in Abuja and that man,  the one with pot belle and more cash to spend than he has need for. Your agent asked you to make him comfortable, Shey comfort now means messing up yourself with somebody's husband and father huh?  If the man has no sense,  Biko on his be half receive sense in Jesus name and think about your future but again when asked you say "I WAS JUST DOING MY JOB! "
The funny things we do in the name of a job,  making excuses and justifying our actions, corruption is not just in the state houses,  it's in most hearts. We can't fight this corruption when we have signed partnership with it.
I am not talking to Nigerians as a whole,  I am talking to you as a person, before you point that accusing finger next time,  make sure you are walking in perfection. Face your life,  build yourself for the change we seek outside starts from us.  Selah!
