Icheoku says but for William Shakespeare who had warned the world through Duncan, speaking in Macbeth, that 'there is no art to find the mind's construction in the face,' the latest travails of former Nigeria Minister for Petroleum, Diezani Allison Madueke, in faraway England, would have been mere dreams, her very innocent looks considered. But at last the former Nigerian Madam Petroleum Minster was arrested and indicted for financial crimes of money laundering and racketeering running into several hundreds of millions of pounds sterling of stolen Nigeria resources.
Icheoku says like Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, she is sure to be convicted and imprisoned following a trove of evidence including seized cash. Coincidentally both of them are from Bayelsa State and one wonders if pilfering state resources runs deep amongst the people of the state? Icheoku says Diezani Allison Madueke looks innocent, harmless, pretty and beautiful; but could all these alluring qualities be just ordinary facade beneath which lies a criminal mind of steel? If these allegations of fraud and corrupt enrichment are proved, then what a mask of Zorro this woman probably, deceitfully wore throughout her supervision of the Nigeria oil ministry. But hey, Eve, Delilah, Lady Macbeth, Jezebel, Bonnie (of 'and Clyde) are all women, so the look of Diezani might afterall have simply been a decoy, just a mask. Icheoku says except that she is standing trial in England, otherwise which Nigerian judge would after salivating on her face still have the guts to send her away to prison. What a woman.
