Obama Committee Versus Jonathan Committee by ypzilanti: 11:36am On Jan 17, 2013
Obama committee versus Goodluck Jonathan committee

Today, President Obama signed 23 executive orders into law regarding gun ownership in USA. He did this while holding a press conference in which he outlined his vision and future legislative action to tackle the gun problem in USA.

What struck me was that the committee that was inaugurated to look into gun violence was assembled less than two months ago. The committee submitted its report last week, and the president took action today.

There was no ‘white paper’ no ‘committee to review committee’, and the committee did not take that long to complete its duty.

For those who think that being slow to act as an executive is a virtue, I ask them to watch how progressive countries run government.

A commentator on CNN said that the Obama was eager to get this issue off his plate because he has many issues to deal with as president. On his action plan for the next four years is immigration reform, tax reform, unemployment, Afghan war, etc…

The summary is that the president assembled his committee, told them what he wanted, gave them a short time to do the work, and took action immediately a report was submitted.

Kindly compare this with the Ribadu report which is gathering dust on a shelf at Aso rock, as well as the many reports which are being drafted into ‘white paper’ and ‘being reviewed by other committees’.

For those who do not realise it, GEJ has only this year left to fulfil any little remaining promise that he can fulfil. 2014 is an election year and nothing substantial will take place apart from politicking.

It seems Nigerians have wasted their time voting for a slow leader who is always promising things as if he is still campaigning for the Presidency. A president should be decisive and action oriented especially in a developing nation.

From my observation, when Mr. President does not want to touch an issue with a long pole, he inaugurates a committee and gives them a year to submit report. grin

This is in contrast to Obama who forms a committee when he is serious about tackling an issue.

I am afraid if we will not set up a committee to review this thread, this is an indictment on our honorable president. We will not accept this, there is need to call Seun to order.

You are right about the OP. The OP is so goofy while treading on issue he or she knew little about. The so-called 23 executive orders can not become law until the Congress acts on them Nigeria unlike USA, the police and army would have been on street search house to house simply because the president issues executive orders.

The only committee report that was fastest acted upon in this administration is the FUEL PRICE INCREMENT A.K.A FUEL SUBSIDY REMOVAL. After that other ones have been postponed till after 2019.I heard they are planning to drop the Ribadu headed Committee’s recent reports. I hope they will refund the wasted fund if the find that report irrelevant. Naija.

Even Obama can not run Nigeria, the way it is mangled with defective Constitution and Federal Character syndrome. Another reason that Obama can not rule Nigeria better is because we are very ignorant of the duties of a President and that of a Governor. We almost always want GEJ to be the one to buy transformer for our streets and repair our backyard Roads. Obama can not rule Nigeria because our past Presidents did absolutely nothing right. We have been ruled and misruled by egocentric and militarily back-grounded ignorant fellows who found their way into Politics. GEJ is the best President Nigeria ever had. He would have done better if he was President of an Organized Country like the USA.
