Man, Abdulrasheed Bawa doesn’t hold back in his book! He basically says these corruption networks in Nigeria are super smart and connected. According to him, the fuel subsidy thing was an easy target ’cause nobody really watched closely and the people in charge didn’t care. There were these crazy schemes where both government workers and private fuel importers teamed up to scam the country.

Imagine this: people faked entire shipments, rigged the numbers, and forged shipping papers. Bawa points out that it wasn’t just a couple of bad apples. He talks about how entire groups were in on it, working together to trick the system. He’s seen firsthand as the EFCC boss how these guys think of every possible way to score cash, like inflating prices or even sending the same request for payment multiple times.

I think one of the wildest things from the book is how Bawa says weak oversight helped these scams grow so big. No one really cared to double-check anything, so the fraud just went on and on. I’m honestly shocked at how organized the whole thing was. Reading about it makes you wonder who you can really trust in big government stuff!
