1. He Appointed Okonjo Iwaela the "Unconstitutional" Coordinating Minister of the Economy

People may not understand what this means, it simply means that the President handed over his Power as the Chief Executive Officer of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to Dr. Ngozi Okonjo Iwaela. She is the unconstitutional de facto Prime Minister that coordinates the Afairs and running of the Government and not the President. In other words, the President made himself as just "Ceremonial figure" in the government. This is the first occurrence in the history of public administration in a democratic Nigeria.

2. He Gave The Finance Minister The Power To Present Budget

On December 2013, For the first time since the return of democracy a minister and NOT the President presented National budget(2014) to the National Assembly to the amazement of the two chambers of the National Assembly. Obasanjo presented all budgets when he was in power between 1999 and 2007, Yar Adua did same when he held sway.... Unfortunately, she wasn't allowed to address Parliamentarians(as was the custom during budget presentation), she was only allowed to submit the budget and leave the chamber


3. The President and Not his Vice is supposed to Visit Kano Blast Victims

All over the world, the President of a country visits disaster victims and commensurate with families of the dead, and the survivors. Recall January, 2002 Ikeja Cantonment Blast, then Governor Bola Tinubu visited the scene and commensurated with with bereaved, and victims of the blast. The next day, January 28, 2002, then President Obasanjo visited the scene, commensurated with victims and ordered for full Military investigation on what led to the incident. He never sent VP Atiku Abubakar. Kano state is a very important state in Nigeria, and the Central Mosque is a historic one. Based on this, One ordinarily expected the President to be in Kano yesterday to sympathise with the government and people of the state on behalf of the good people of Nigeria. Rather, he sent his Vice President, whose presence is not "too significant" to stand in for him and relay the government sympathy to Kano People. But nobody represented him when he declared for 2015 Presidential poll. N

4. Nonchalance or Just Clueless?

When about 60 students were killed in the terror attack on the Federal Government College, Buni Yadi, in February 2014, President Jonathan never visited the scene to commiserate with the families of the victims. When over 80 people were killed in the first Nyanya bombing in April 2014, President Jonathan went dancing ‘Azonto’ in Kano less than 48 hours later. And when almost 300 girls were freshly abducted in Chibok, President Jonathan neither acted fast enough to rescue the girls nor visited the village. His Administration even denied anyone was abducted, until 19 days after. How do we explain a President and Commander-In-Chief declaring for a second term on Tuesday November 11, 2014, a day after a Boko Haram suicide bomber had attacked Potiskum, Yobe (Monday, November 10) killing many students?

Oh how are the mighty fallen... ??
Tell it not in Nairaland,
Proclaim it not in the street of Abuja,
Less the daughters of the opposition party rejoice,
Less the daughters of the thugs exhort



Barcnista is one his way to...

ITbomb:
When Obama came and talked about strengthening or institutions, you clapped for him without understanding how it works.

A president set out policies and make sure all appendages of the government are sync in executing it.
The president should never be the Petroleum minister or Finance minister or any other. Those office are meant to get the policy outline and work out their implementation. If the president notice that the ministry or department is working outside the plan, that is when he steps in. He should never run the ministry.

Do you know anything about delegation of duties, do you know why the US Secretary of State is so powerful that he/she can be sent to talk with another Head of government?

You always open your mouth in wonder when you see democracy working in America but when it is implemented here, your decades of infused "Strong-man" mentality does not allow you to understand the very basic of true democratic government
