Crystallizing grant mobilisation efforts of great grant Icons
“Never respect men merely for their riches, but rather for their philanthropy; we do not value the sun for its height, but for its use.” – Gamaliel Bailey
Two star personalities indispensable to the success story of the UAAG planned disbursement are the ate Sir (Prof.) Abraham Braimah and the late Ms. Beatrice Mbua Odudu (DSP, rtd, a.k.a Great Mama Rita).
This is so because Braimah contributed immensely in conceptualising the United African States (UAS) initiative that further delivered the UAAG Scheme to Nigerians and Africans. Afterwards, Odudu joined Braimah via appendage made possible through the countless philanthropic gestures of her non-governmental organisations, St. Rita Heroes Lifeline and Beatrice Odudu Foundations.
Through their generous, kind and combined evergreen grant nomics effort, Nigerians will eventually get a breath of financial relief because post-colonial Nigerian administration and leadership inherited a depraved national payroll system that deliberately hides lump monetary sums away, from civil servants and private-sector workers (except for paltry monthly salary and cash flow that can barely serve them to a month-end), all, in a seemingly funny bid to have them work 35 years without any access to start-up cash that can have them set-up their personal businesses, become financially stable and independent, afterwards, quit their respective government duty posts and work desks.
To further worsen this situation, this brutal capitalistic structure didn’t spare young school leavers and graduates by ensuring that they too, don’t get an(y) instant access to start-up capital upon graduation, consequent on which, government jobs can become alluring to take and if possible, the only available option.
While this strategy worked to a considerably extent, the backlash is that it also stunted Nigeria’s socio-economic growth and industrial development. To address and end this brutal capitalistic, anti-developmental arrangement; Braimah and Odudu during their lifetime in, Nigeria, with UAAG Grant Mantra, had intention to end the seemingly cruel intergenerational transfer of mass poverty, nationalised underdevelopment and regional underachievement.
With the administration of Tinubu spear-heading the grant nomics liberation of Nigerians through the UAAG Grant Disbursement show, certainly, the prehumous grant mobilisation efforts of Braimah and Odudu will crystallise far sooner than ever envisaged and bring the much desired succor and happiness to Nigerians nationwide.
