CONSCIENCELESS

Not sure if the word-conscienceless is in the dictionary but for me it describes a person without a conscience or one whose conscience is DEAD!

A little child may not be able to (totally) discern between good or bad but as a person grows older and attains reasoning, they know when they are doing something wrong/right.

A person's conscience is his/her first judge. If one's conscience is alive, that person is feels bad/guilty when he does something bad (relative though) but for someone whose conscience is dead and long buried, he usually cares less about his actions. As long as he is happy, every one else can be damned.

My brother's job is at stake!
Why?
Cos he was being a nice guy to a conscienceless woman.

My brother works in the Credit department of a bank in Nigeria. They are in charge of giving credit facilities to the bank's customers.
His boss-a woman is in charge of allocating this credit and inputting certain confidential information into the bank's system. According to the bank's policy, she alone is to know the system password at any point in time.

Now, I don’t know if she was being plain lazy or maybe it was too much work for her to handle cos it turns out that this woman always asked my brother to help her out with some of her responsibilities. This meant that she also had to divulge the password to him so he could access the information needed.

Bobo nice, I mean my brother went along with this and at a point she practically handed over the credit operations to him. Stupidly, she didn’t even bother following up on the transactions he made.

Months down the line, auditors were sent to their branch and they noticed some irregularities-a customer had been granted a credit facility of five million naira (=N=5,000,000.00) but this was later reduced to One million naira (=N=1,000,000.00). The paper documents were amended but unfortunately the change was not reflected in the system.

Of course eyebrows were raised and his boss was questioned. This was the point when she should have come clean with the auditors and told them that she had delegated someone else to handle the transaction but no she didn’t! In stead she said someone must have stolen her password and done the transaction without her knowledge. See lie!!!
She didn’t want to admit that she had divulged the password and shifted her responsibility to another. If she had, maybe they would have been able to resolve the issue @ branch level but she didn’t and so the case was taken to the head office.

Interrogations began. My brother owned up that he had handled the transaction but with the consent of his boss and that she gave him the password. Still, the woman refused to accept that she did. She went on with her initial story of "He stole the password".

A panel has been set up by the bank to look into the issue. My brother's colleagues who were aware of everything have assured him that they will testify on his behalf if there is need to. His branch manager is also on his side and he has assured him that there is nothing to fear.

Funny enough, this woman told my brother that she will never agree to the fact that she gave him the password and asked him to handle the transaction because she doesn't want to lose her job. See selfishness! So na my brother na im good to lose im job abi? Ok o! Serious, it baffles me how a respectable (??) married woman like that cannot take responsibility for her actions instead she is looking for someone to bear the brunt of her laziness/stupidity.

When I think about the whole issue I wonder if her conscience does not prick her at all. If she can really go to bed and sleep peacefully knowing that she is about to ruin the career of someone else who was only helping her. If she'll be able to live with her conscience if my brother loses his job on her account. She alone can answer these questions.

Am hoping that the issue is resolved without my brother losing his job.

My brother will never be the scapegoat in Jesus name, Amen.

He need your prayers everyone.

Just for laughs
