When The Calls Go Unanswered

There was a time when DSP Alamieyeseigha couldn’t walk into a room unnoticed.

Governor of Bayelsa State.
Former military officer.
Close to the corridors of Aso Rock.
Nicknamed “Governor-General of the Ijaw Nation.”

If he coughed in Yenagoa, someone in Abuja would fetch a doctor.
His influence was that wide.

He funded roads. Built schools. Sponsored foreign scholarships.
He gave. They praised. He called. They answered.

But then came 2005.

Arrested in London for money laundering.
Jumped bail. Returned to Nigeria.
Impeached. Stripped. Mocked.

And then… silence.

Phones that rang daily now echoed.
Advisers vanished. Party men looked away.
Some even helped seal his fall — just to stay clean.

He once controlled millions. But when the storms of life rise against him, he struggled to control a narrative.

Because when you’re at the top, your mistakes are overlooked.
But once you descend, even your virtues are forgotten.

In private, he reportedly confided:

“The people I helped the most were the first to withdraw.”

It is a painful pattern.

Julius Caesar saw it when Brutus raised the dagger.
Goodluck Jonathan felt it when the “I had no shoes” chorus was replaced with blame.
Diezani, once the Iron Lady of Nigeria’s oil sector, now lives in a silence louder than applause.

So what does this teach us?

Be careful not to confuse followers for friends.
Be wise not to build your support based on  illgotten wealth or favours alone.
Because applause fades.
Positions change.
Loyalty is rare.

Ask when you’re on top — but don’t depend on those YESes.
When your power is gone, only true conscience responds.
And only true people remain.

If you’re rising now, build wisely.
Plant friendships deeper than position.
Invest in people who still look you in the eye when you’re empty-handed.

And if you’re in the valley, don’t beg.
Just watch.
Silence will introduce you to those who truly matter.
