He started work with Shehu Shagari, Major- General Muhammadu Buhari and General Ibrahim Babangida. He was also in charge during the interim government of Ernest Shonekan; and the regime of General Sani Abacha, General Abdulsalami Abubakar, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo in 1999. Having served the late Alhaji Umaru Musa Yar Adua, he is also President Jonathan's steward.
Onuh, who lives in a rented apartment at Karu, Nasarawa State and survives on two hours sleep daily, disclosed in Villascope (a publication in Aso Villa) that:
"The regret I have is that for someone that has been working for his country for over 30 years, it is not good that I don't have my own accommodation. I live at the outskirts of the city (in Karu, Nasarawa State) in a rented house.My greatest challenge is coming all the way to work from a very far distance every day. Waking up by 3am to be at work and closing in the early hours of the morning only to be back again very early to work is a big challenge for me.
"I cannot approach anybody for anything. We are trained not to beg anybody for anything. Do your job and leave everything to God. I have always derived pleasure in serving others. It also brings one close to the people that matter. I am happy to take care of the people that serve the nation. It means a lot to me. I believe it is my contribution to my fatherland to be in charge of taking care of the little stuff of the presidents."
TITLE>>>>>>FORBIDDEN
CONTINUED FROM YESTERDAY
.... The Forbidden Fruits After that day, the boys never went to the orange tree again and the story that it was a forbidden fruit was retold and everyone believed it, even the four boys. Though they knew it was not the forbidden fruits of the Bible but Mr. Jacob's forbidden fruits. Garba was angry when he learnt that it was Bawa who had told on him. They all began to avoid Bawa. But all these had been over thirty-five years ago. They grown and become men. Garba had turned out to be the star of them all, having excelled in school and had gone to Lagos and then to England. He returned to Dongongari and settled down. Now all the boys who went to the St. Aquinas now have children. But they all still sit together on weekends and talk of the past. Mr. Jacob and the forbidden fruits was always an exciting topic and they would laugh. "Only God know where the white master is today," Sule would say with nostalgia. "Perhaps long dead and buried," Tanko would say. "But he was a terror," Bawa reminded. He had succeeded. his father as the tobacco merchant in ,Jogongan even though he was once a banker. Garba would laugh. "Come to think of it, he was a good man. The lesson of the forbidden fruits was that of obedience. We ought to have obeyed him as our elder and teacher," he said: They all agreed with him. The End ....
