What U Should Know About Jega by BIGERBOY1: 11:06pm On Apr 05, 2011
Who is JEGA character wise?

Here is a brief experience I had of him

SUG elections at my school then used to be a do or die affair; this was because even the state governor tries to influence the results- this shows how coveted that position was. Election campaigns then were as flamboyant as any public office campaigns in d country now, with high res giga pixel posters, convoys of sweet cars, even thugs were brought in from outside for campaign purposes. U needed to think more than twice b4 even nurturing the idea of contesting. To sum it up it was like a PDP affair on campus levels.

Then came in JEGA as the new VC amidst all this campaign madness yr in yr out. In his first yr in office he introduced a new rule in the game of politics on campus.

What was the rule U have to have at least 3points of GPA to contest for SUG president. Suddenly suddenly suddenly every thing came to a stand still that yr- no posters of candidates any where, no external thugs, no jittery convoys, infect nobody wanted to contest. Because all along only the blockheads had been in d forefront of campus politics and now with the 3 point GPA saga they all fell disqualified like dominos. The brilliant ones were in class studying with no time for politics.

For the first time in my school then candidates were literarily begged to contest coz no one wanted to, now that's a smart move by JEGA then.


Now with the recent general election any one who thinks JEGA can be arm twisted into a corner is wrong for too reasons
1 the guy is smart

2 this guy has Been in the aluta business for a long time (he has been in and out of jail for defying military governments during his ASSU chairmanship)

Finally the only reason JEGa will fail is if he allows himself to fail or be used ( which is most improbable)

Altho running a university is far different from running INEC, Jega's issue is not integrity. Since he resumed INEC chairship, there has not been any substantiated question on his integrity, the main issue is he underestimates problems, which some people, rightly or wrongly, have described as incompetence.

Imcompetence is the word. I hope we can also trus him to be impartial.
