Sweetlemon: You are my kind of person. The kind I like to put up with. You are the type that seeks the progress of an entity called Nigeria. Your intelligence is overwhelming. I have actually given up on most Nigerians due to ethnic sentiment. I am beginning to align with the strategy of President Buhari to reform governance in Nigeria. I don't give a hoot to who he appoints, even if he appoints all his kinsmen to positions, provided they are credible individuals who can get the job done. This is the part I am interested in. Federal Character poo is a SHAM and a cog in the wheel of progress of Nigeria. It is high time we did things differently. 1 Like |

4ifyomedon:It's not about Apple from the east, it's about justice, fair play and equity. Every Nigerian irrespective of tribe, creed or class has a share in the cake called Nigeria and should be so treated. It's such marginalisation such as Buhari has promoted since May 29th and ones that preceded that fuel the call for Biafra so I don't know which issue you want them to focus on. It's stupid to suggest that in a country of 36 states, one village should produce all the ministers, does tat suggest that other villages and states do not have competent, qualified and good brains that can bring about the so called good governance? What respect do we have for the constitution that provides equal representation along state lines? Why should one state produce all the ministers when merit is sacrificed at the alter of federal character in admission into unity schools, employment into federal establishments etc? Utomi should rather have the provisions of section 147(3) amended or removed completely to enable Buhari do as he wishes. |

Denn: [size=13pt]Pat Utomi is one of the many pseudo intellectual showmen we have in Nigeria. Their strength is in media interviews and other packaging not in any academic publications or thorough research that can help Nigeria. Utomi calls himself a professor of 'political economy' without ever knowing what politics or economy means. How many intellectually oriented books has this guy written to add to the body of existing knowledge in his 'field'? A so-called professor who can open his mouth so wide urging a confirmed dullard to go ahead and disobey the constitution of Nigeria. How can anyone who went to school at all be calling for a lawless action? Is Utomi now a supreme court justice interpreting the laws of our land? The constitution was clear about ethnic balancing of appointments in the country. It is unambiguous. The same constitution went ahead to establish a federal character principle and a commission to boot. That is, it must not only be obeyed, the principle must be enforced. These were as a result of past experiences which led to restiveness and frictions in the polity. Does this 'professor' know what inclusiveness mean? Does he realize that he can't even try that in his own village in Delta much less his local government? Nigeria went through a civil war sparked by complications arising from issues like this. For God's sake, a region threatened (and they carried out the threat) to make Nigeria ungovernable because of 'marginalization'. Who awards professorship to this kind of fellow? What exactly does professor of political economy mean?[/size] 3 Likes |

Nigerians should leave Etihnicity and allow Buhari to repair this Mess up country, Choose whoever he likes from anyway including members of his family provided they can deliver this country. I am from a minority tribe in my state that is just a local goverment which means we should also be asking for our own Tribal position in Buhari's government. Lets be honest if it going by tribe then every tribe should be represented. Nigerians are so desperate in everything that sometime we don't care about results but selfish interest. Jonathan is a good man but refuse to step down as president even when he knew he lack ideas about Governance, Nigerians now took advantage of that and mess up his regime. |

Sweetlemon:Your naivety has x factorial (x!; x is a six-digit integer) capacity. So Nigeria has suddenly turned to paradise just because a man that goes by the name Muhammad Buhari is now president? Think again! Buhari and APC propaganda machine have been deluding people like you that his government would make Nigeria an Eldorado. The truth of the matter is that Buhari will still make some teething/incipient mistakes like all beginners. The idea of making seem like he is assembling a team of perfect functionaries is, at best, an insult to commonsense. The practice the world over is to source for leaders from the nooks and crannies of a country to balance out socio-geo-political considerations. Even America know this... Maybe an appointment/job-seeking Pat Utomi should have lambasted the framers of our national constitution for enshrining federal character principle as one of the grundnums of the otherwise sacrosanct document. |

Pat Utomi and his quixotic political ideology many times make him come across as politically naive, the implication of his suggestion is that in a country as diverse and politically divided along tribal, sectional and religious considerations striking a balance that reflects inclusiveness in choosing the best people for the job is not important. Very naive talk that is very typical of a political idealist, and he wonders why nobody can take him seriously when it comes to politics, he thinks it is all about competence as if competent people can't be equally sourced from outside his supposed one village, the success of a large country like Nigeria lies in the diversity of our effort not individual or sectional alleged competence from any group. Very flawed political logic from the Prof, no serious political analyst make statements like this one, if it were all about getting competent people then we could as well go outside Nigeria and source people from developed countries to lead us since all we care about only is competence. As much as competence is important, so is getting everyone involved in your government that is the truth, you exclude people then you have no right to ask for their cooperation or support and that lies the success or failure of a government. Let Mr President source for the best hands that can do the job but let that searchlight beam in the entire regions of the country, it will be folly for anyone to argue the possibility of competent people coming only from one particular region or section of the country. |

sammyj: These are federal appointments, they shld reflect federal character. if there are 2 ppe that are competent in jst one family as u said, there are also 20 ppe that can also do it well from anoder family. You and so called Prof Utomi are jst blabbing cos if it comes to issues that concerns you as persons, am sure u will say "there must be federal character". imagine given professors federal appointment and only professors in the west were now engaged in the appointment: this same prof pat utomi will be the first to make noise. Even in the National Football team, there is reflection of federal character. |
