I don't think Beaf or anyone has ever advocated you don't question the president. There is a big difference between questioning and being insulting, partisan, tribal and trying to bring him down. You have a right to question the president and as a good citizen, you should. But coming on a public forum to insult his person and tribe is not the same thing as questioning or demanding good governance. If you look back, you would even notice this trend started from the day he won the 2011 election so it had nothing to do with his performance. It was purely hatred and the quest for power.

Billyonaire: Pat Utomi is a constructive critic, unlike some people.

Clerverly: Utomi go and sit down make We hear word. How come you have refused to speak against the Chief Retardeen's corrupt Govt? I see, maybe because he comes from your so-called Niger delta. Just remember Nigerians are watching!

Beaf: Very nice one from Pat Utomi.

I have always asked when Nigerians will learn to question their governors and LG bosses. Most people are happy, so long as awuf flows from Abuja, but no successful country is run that way. Instead, the Nigerian system of largesse from above and laziness from below is the road to ruin and perdition.

It is in the interest of every Nigerian, young and old, to know the duties and responsibilities of their LG and state govts. Your state is meant to provide the frameworks and enabling environment for local business and industry to flourish. It is your governors duty and surely not that of the FG to develop your state, provide health services, education, employment etc. These things are not for the FG to do; you cannot give a man a wife (Abuja monthly awuf) and be expected to do the deed in the darkness, because the man is inept about how babies are born.

Take a cue from the US and see how successful states have grabbed various nitches; Florida (tourism, industry, aerospace etc), Nevada (Las Vegas casino's etc), California (Hollywood, Silicon Valley - home of Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, Facebook etc... Nuff said). These states were built into the powerhouses that they are through the foresight of creative governors and county bosses who pulled the right plugs and pushed the right levers to enable their people, both financially, socially and intellectually.
...Here in Nigeria? Last I heard, our governors were engaged in a desperate search for how to get even more of the enslaving Abuja awuf per month. It is depressing.

As far as I know, these are the working governors in Nigeria:

1. Akpabio
2. Okorotcha
3. Chime
4. Amaechi
5. Sule Lamido
6. Fashola
7. Oshiomole

I think we might be adding Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa from the way things are going.

Chidera Favour: Human being learning frm Animal Goat 4 dt matter not even a smart ones.wow! una no go kill me 4 ds naija.mtsheeeew

Greatken007: Poverty is killing most of us because we dont have a single regard for our country and president.Who are you to call your president name,if your Dad is more brilliant than him why is he still in the village tilling the soil?You cant even control a classroom 53 students and you are here insulting one who i know has all it takes to rule this great nation.Dont ever allow The Guerrilla fighters to make you discredit your president,go and ask Indonicians.Moroccans,libya etc they will tell you more

Shaw007: There is absolutely no basis of comparison between d goat and d governors in d sense that d goat 'reasons' and d governors. . .well all they do is make their purses fatter(that doesnt require much 'reasoning does it?)

superior1: In a country where the president is a zoologist and Governors are to learn from a goat. Does that make this country a Zoo

elsim: Pat utomi;all of a sudden has something usefull to say:come to think of it;is he a political role model or an unfortunate politician?

Beaf: Very nice one from Pat Utomi.

Well actually the analogy doesn't quite fit. If they are to emulate the goat then instea of waiting for the allocation to come to them they will device a means to go to the FG who is to give them(just as the goat impatiently devised to ascend to the tree) in order to hasten the process.

Pataki: Posted the same picture on my profile some weeks back. Directing my message at the same Nigerian leaders.

Prof, should be have included our beloved Retardeen as well. There is apparently a reason we call him Retardeen. When a goat reasons more articulately than our President Retardeen, we are definitely a nation in deep coma.

You say the President is retarded believe me if you feel that the president is confused believe me if you are there you will be more confused.

sub_zero: The most logical and wisest post of this thread.

Delafruita:
i dont agree with you completely.the american system of federalism might not work in nigeria.you need to take into account the fact that america isnt just a country,its a union.different states joined the union at different times but for the same purpose,to repel the british.these states already existed independently before the formation of the union and based on the agreements,were to continue to exist independently.even the states that were added later either through purchase or otherwise continued in that same manner.nigeria doesnt have foundation.states didnt come together,rather states were arbitrarily formed.i support true fiscal federalism but the reality is that if we choose to implement it ,many states will go bankrupt
