Tomjazzy2:


Smh

If we are to go by your logic, then such other agencies like the Police, FRSCN, etc, qualify as revenue generating agencies, since they also issue and collect fines too

Tomjazzy2:
in as much as I would like to berate the President for not taking note of those errors during his routine review, I think using such derogatory words on him is a misnomer and unacceptable bro. He is our President

Tomjazzy2:
Having painstakenly taken a very calm perusal at the draft copy of President Buhari's independence day speech, I can not but begin to wonder who drafted the speech of this importance.

The said speech is regrettebly fraught with some collosal errors, and I make bold to say here, has caused us an international embarassment.

In the second paragraph for instance, the President opined that Nigeria is the "ninth most populous nation" in the world.

Any one who knows elementary government do not need to consult an oracle before realizing that Nigeria is infact, the 7th most populous Nation in the world.

Furthermore, in the 17th paragraph, another laughable error was made, when the President said "...I have ordered a complete audit of our other revenue generating agencies, mainly CBN, FIRS, Customs, NCC..."

Apart from FIRS and Customs mentioned above, surely, neither the CBN nor the NCC qualify as a revenue generating agency. To be sure, both agencies are strickly speaking, regulatory agencies.

Or has the scope of those agencies been reviewed to include generating revenue for the country?

If the President have severally been discribed as some one who takes his time in anything he does, one who pays attention to every detail, then this speech leaves much to be desired.

HungerBAD:
Interesting Critique.

But, what advice or deed have you contributed to Nigeria that can make her great? You guys just bunch together in one corner and look for faults.

Now proffer one sensible way forward.

PointB:


That's his prerogative. On the other hand, the duara dullard has plethora of special advisers, and if he prefers Ministers whose job it is to[i] proffer sensible way forward[/i].

The Op raised a valid concern though, what the point of 'thoroughness' when end product is fraught with several of same or similar defect as previous ones?

Buhari doesn't seem to know what he's doing, and those around him are proving nothing but bunch of incompetent sods!

obailala:
So you agree with what the Op has stated?

PointB:



Put in another context, why did it take the duara dullard ages to make a list of ministerial nominees, only to have it replete with same old and tired politicians with substantial corruption cases etc dangling around them? Yet, we are to accept that a thorough job was done. Thorough must have a new meaning!

obailala:


Are you okay?

Where is the connection between your 2 statements and the question I asked?... Why are you sounding like a nagging that can't even define what her grievance is?

PointB:



You don't see the connection between two despite my emphasis on 'thoroughness' ? I must have overestimated your intelligence. My bad!

obailala:

I simply asked you if you agreed with the insinuations of the Op about the president's speech being wrong. Instead of answering the simple question, you proceeded to yap about lateness / thoroughness in appointing ministers.

Who exactly needs to be more thorough here?... Maybe if you spent 45 seconds to read through the responses on this thread, you wouldn't be making such quick conclusions based on the Op's erroneous assumptions.

The above is the Op's final conclusion.

That much I agree. The speech leaves much to be desired especially as it's content is very much a banal rehash of old rhetoric.

989900:
Why is the OP making a mockery of himself?

1. PMB didn't write that speech -- it was written by professionals in-the-know, do you know more than them?

2. They do generate revenue.

obailala:
The speech was concise and straight to the point... shortest independent day speech ever. I'm sure you would agree with me that we need more action and not speeches?... I do not need long speeches, his speech was perfect.

As for the 2 points the Op pointed out, the Op was wrong, there are no mistakes in the speech.

PointB:


Concise, straight to the point and short is not same as[i] refreshing, inspiring, with bold ideas[/i]. If this speech is your idea of perfection, I'm afraid mediocrity will find a comfortable resting place in your corner!

obailala:
Well I'm sorry, for me and many Nigerians, there's nothing wrong with the speech; it was a mere independent day speech and not some revolutionary announcement. If you think the speech should have been more bloated with 'stellar' ideas, then maybe you should bring up those ideas here for discussion and some way somehow, someone on this forum who's connected will get your bright ideas to the knowledge of the authorities. This administration is eager to impress, so I'm sure they would welcome such fresh ideas.
