TRUTHTOPOWER:


Warren Buffet: If you are looking for someone to hire, look for three things: integrity, energy and intelligence. if they lack integrity, the other two will kill you.

From your analogy there is a principle of law that says: you cannot delegate a delegated power. The assignment was personal. for us to know whether others could be involved, B needs clarification from his father. B did a reasonable and efficient thing. however, his loyalty may be questioned on the account of bringing third parties to a private matter. Assuming the assignment was given as a public job in which efficiency is solely the test B is the guy to go for. Hence, PMB is right in choosing his personal aides based on the principle of loyalty.

There is a balance to this. most loyal person may not be the most suited for the job. So the task is to find somone who has demonstrated trustworthiness and who has capacity to deliver. PMB appointees have these qualities. Other appointees to come will operate on their own and answerable on their own.
For public services, effectiveness, not efficiency, is the first thing people look out for. Barca Vs Chelsea 2012?: ball possession was 80 - 20 but in the end Chelsea's one goal put Barca out of the competition. People want results, not just performance...that is why B is the right man for the job, irrespective of how he got the task done. You mentioned integrity but forgot that there's no way one can remove integrity from effectiveness. Mr A might be more patriotic but people would always look up to B because they want results. So Buhari sounded somehow self-centered and unprofessional when he said he appoints only his ''loyalists'', those who started with him from the bottom level. And this belies his claim of being for ''nobody but for everybody''. Come on, there are other ways to reward these ''loyalists'' without fixing them randomly in high offices

GEJ appointed Jega who he never knew from day 1. Why can't pmb do the same especially as it is clear that he doesnt know anybody outside Northern Nigeria? The president is just not concerned where his appointees come from. What truelly matters is how the president chooses to manage his appointees. Okonjo was well managed by OBJ but mis-used by GEJ. my point is, the leader determines how his appointee behave

GEJ led no movement upon which loyalty of many people could be tested. Jega was recommended by those who believed he would deliver. You are very correct on the ability of the President to control his staff. for power corrupts power and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Notin is degenerating into any crisis here unless d appointees disappoint or abusive their offc! U say its bad for one to label his pple as they, and say that this is our problem in Nija! Tribalism and ethnicity! Stella Oduah abused her offc and her pple gave her award! Wereas in oda climes she ll be excommunicated! Evryone of us for years ve been unnecessarily defending and singin d songs of our various tribes, and I ask wat positives dat has brot to us! It has encouraged nepotism and brot notin but retrogression! We must chart a new course or foreva get lost in d scheme of tins! I am not afraid to label my ppl as they er and I will say it again that most Southerners abuse offc! The place where I wok requires a great deal of integrity and responsibility and my friends frm South don't undstnd why am not vry rich! They encourage me to see my offc as my own share of d national cake! This mentality is bad! Today our polity lack eggs like Buhari, Jega and their like! There is notin such as racial profiling here because one accusing ones own pple of wat they re actually guilty of is not racial, it doesn't even come close!
. Well, i agree with you, but the president should do more. Most of you blame various appointments that followed federal character as the cause of non-performance of previous administrations but you forget one important factor. Previous governments have never selected appointee based on their integrity or track record and as such they didnt perform. If PMB finds the right people from the south they will definitely perform as compared to just appointments loyalists. And by the way, they is no evidence to prove that northern appointees in the past performed better than their southern counterparts. Pmb just has to search harder.

I think we have a deal on your phrase"more patriotic". this very phrase is the yardstic for merit in any system where the job is essentially to KEEP AN EYE on what others are doing and relate the mind of the boss to the doers. It doesnot require erudition, just candour We can, otherwise, hire a quantum physist as a librarian or a prof of law as court clerk. But anyone who has not been to a court room might imagine that court registrars who sit close to the judge on the podium are more important than lawyers who sit at the bar. a corrupt system could make the registrars powerful. but an ideal system will give preeminence to the lawyers who debate with the judge. My brother I get your point and Your opinions are valid given our experience. However, we cannot be just in preempting a man who promised to restore the LEGAL sanctity of a system

Re: “Appointment Of More Northerners” – Buhari Finally Opens Up by deependemocracy: 8:07pm On Sep 09, 2015
I appreciate where PMB is coming from and his selection criteria, however it clearly shows how narrow his relationships and political space is. It will be unfortunate if those close to him will just do his bidding without questioning his rationale or if they simply are a mirror of his opinion or agenda.4 Years will tell...

You are right.

" A leader who abandon, destroy or kill those who are devoted and loyal to him does not inspire devotion and loyalty" Tyrion Lannister, Games of Throne .

Buhari is just being a good leader who appreciate loyalty.
next time dont complain when a southan president appoints mainly his southan loyalist into government.

This is the first time I'm going to call Buhari a Dullard! grin
So his appointments are made on sentiments, not on merits? He's not even ashamed of saying it in public.
And his lies about the fictional Chibok girls can't be forgiven either. Nigeria don enter one chance!

imagine d dullard without shame. Nigerians are fools for electing this sectional bigot.

I dont like Buhari.

I didnt vote for him but to be Honest,

This man is focus, he has vision to Rule this nation.

Just in less than four months, things are begining to go well. Now I understand why he chose his close associates as his personal staff.
You don't expect him to appoint Ameachi who Betrayed his own people. He could also betray Baba anytime.

Abi U want him to appoint Ngige that would want to impeach him overnight.

I have resigned from the wailing Wailers.
But I would still condemn Baba if he gets it wrong.

I see everything wrong with the assertion that a Nigerian President has to use government positions to reward his good friends because they suffered together.

This is the clear definition of Nepotism.

So, if I am to become President, I will only give positions to my friends within my political zones because we suffered together.

And if everyone does that, where this geographical expression is heading to ? Common-sense is truly not common.

Buhari, your brain is your skull, locate it and use it.

What is your business with Nigeria?
Please mind your business

For those of you who cease to understand things.



Simple analysis check the road network systems of the three main tribes in Nigeria then you will understand why I said that tribe are honest people.



Am not Hausa or Muslim but those guys are honest people don't judge them because of few bad eggs that are extremist.

They are honest? Really? That's good! They were also honest when they butchered my fellow Igbos in 1945,1953 and over 50,000 in 1966? Remind me to congratulate them on their honesty.
