Tonye... the fact that people actually praise ur analysis shows the level of decay in Nigerian educational system
Let me educate u a little bit
1) a minister is a mere representative of the president in that ministry
2) the president can pass his directives or give instructions based on his manifesto to any ministery WITH OR WITHOUT A MINISTER
3) ministers are only needed when the president wants to reduce the work load on him.... And if the president is not complaining..... I wonder y u should.. ....

Now that's more like it

Yep big bang ish kind of thing. I bet it was a eureka moment for you when you realised your iq level was negative 50. Dude a small slice of my brain and intelligence would make you and your voltron clan look like kids in diapers. I must say that you have some form of intelligence albeit very low and impossible to Ignore but still if that floats your boat I have no choice but concur.

you are a wasted speeerrrrrrm borne by an olosho mother

Type in english motherfvcker

'Cos unlike you i wasn't conceived and schooled at an agbero motor park beside a notorious ashewo joint

BraniacX:


UnHoly shyte!!!

You don't mean to......

You don't mean.........

I need a super re-enforced force field around me

If a small slice of your brain can make me comparable to a kid in diapers then i can rightly infer that your grey matter is made up of or infested with a specifically designed virus or particulate that reverses the process of mental maturation so please keep your brain matter to yourself no thanks! I like mine the way it is and having established this probability, you'll agree with me that you're in no position to judge my I.Q and on the plus side am way beyond eureka moments

I leave that for some peeps who are still struggling to evolve into the sapiens stage of the primate homini didn't mention names or monikers oh! but if you feel it applies to you then congratulations you'll get there someday "hopefully"

And don't think you've successfully derailed me from the topic of the thread or the question i posed you on the missing phantom N3trillion because "you fittin't succeed if you tried hard!!"

kobe79:


where were u "conceived and schooled" at?

inside bush wen conji hold ur mentally deranged father and couldn't hold but fuuucccck ur mommas rotten pussy

BraniacX:


You asked the question and as such can not profer an answer olodo! and as such i can rightly deduce you're trying to extrapolate your life experience on to me but nah!! I'm not of your kind nor ilk fleabag neither are my parents but if you must write your autobiography, do it after i have properly schooled you okay! truly ashewo joint is no place to raise a kid, just look at yourself what a pity

naijadeyhia:


I wasn't trying to derail your phantom theory as for that I wouldn't be breaking a sweat for. I was running a simple psychological assessment on you and your latest cacophonous response has given me what I seek. I never would believe that barcanista would solicit for the help of kids to fight his battles. We are done here.

kobe79:

Yea, our educational system is toast. But the main reason tonye barcanista has a semblance of following on NL is simply because 85% of Nairalanders are kids, teenagers,....people still been spoon fed by mum and dad. Barcanista should take his trashy commentaries to Twitter, premiumtimesng.com, nigerianvillagesquare.com Facebook or saharareporters.com and let's see if he is going to be read on those platforms at all, talkless been followed.
In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king. Barcanista is simply 'king' of Nairaland's kids.

TonyeBarcanista:
I'm compelled to write this piece not to spite President Muhammadu Buhari but to cure his misconception of ministers. Earlier today, Mr President was quoted to have made a statement that suggest that ministers are not to relevant in the running of government. According to President Buhari


UNDERSTANDING Ministers and Civil Servants Roles:
Ministers:
Firstly, we have to appreciate the purpose of ministers of the federation. We all we agree that all political parties and candidates standing for elections come with their own program and agenda. These programs are highlighted in their respective document called their Manifesto. The Manifesto is usually in concordance with the overall ideology of the respective parties. When a party's Presidential candidate get elected, he assemble a team of men and women of intellectual standing and believers of his vision to help formulate policies, supervise implementations and defend these policies before the public to actualise the vision and fulfil the President's electoral programs. These group of people are called Ministers. The loyalty of the ministers are to the occupant of the President's office, the country and in most cases the ruling party. Ministers sit and deliberate on policy issues and strategy with the president

Civil Servants:
Every country have a workforce that carry out day-2-day activities of the government in power. We all agree that it is impossible for every government to come on board with their own workforce every 4-8years, hence the country provide for a 'permanent' workforce that will work with every administration. This workforce is called the Civil Service. They are non-partisan career people. They are not to help any political party or candidate formulate policies but are to work with every ruling party and administration to IMPLEMENT policies. They are technocrats and bureaucrats. Their loyalty is not to the ruling party or individual in power but to the "Office of the President" and the Country. They have NO business deliberating on policy issues and strategy with the president or his party. They only take instruction. Let's see a case study...

Case Study: Petroleum Ministry
In the Ministry of Petroleum Resources, there is the Minister, the Permanent Secretary and career Civil Servants, and other agencies and department (eg NNPC, PPPRA etc) under the ministry.

The Minister sit with the President to formulate policies and programs for the sector in line with the President's agenda. S/he prepares budget for the ministry, see to the implementation of this program/policies (supervision) and is answerable to the President, the party and the public. Statutorily, S/he is the Chairperson of the NNPC. She also supervises other department and agencies under her ministry on behalf of the President.


The Permanent Secretary is the Account officer of the ministry and most senior civil servant(rank) in the ministry. S/he is responsible for the implementation of the Minister's policies/program. S/he is the head of the ministerial tender board BUT any contract approved by the board has to be countersigned by the minister (to ensure that they are in tune with the Minister's/President's agenda). He/she is not a member of the Cabinet, neither can S/he replace the minister as the Chairperson of NNPC except S/he resigns and is appointed minister thereafter.


The roles of the minister and permanent secretary are distinct and straight forward. The importance of ministers cannot be over-emphasised. It is instructive to note that Nigeria is not an isolated case when it comes to ministers/permanent secretaries. The United States for instance have Under-Secretaries, which is Nigeria equivalent of Permanent Secretaries, and Secretaries which is ministers equivalent.

Contraty to Buhari's perception, ministers are not for 'noisemaking', neither are they meant to 'fill space' except the incompetent and clueless ones. Without cabinet ministers, a country will be likened to one on 'Auto-piloting'. More importantly, our constitution provide for offices of Ministers just as it provide for the offices of the President and Vice President.

To be fair with the President, his perception of Ministers is inappropriate. I wonder what prompted him to utter such statement when he was a former minister under the General Olusegun Obasanjo military regime between 1977-79. Is he trying to say that he was a 'noisemaking' minister in General Obasanjo cabinet?


May God Bless Us All

You and your 15 likes can move to North Korea where nothing is responded to by the populace because they don't have freedom of speech or expression.
Meanwhile this is a Democracy and as such he is the #1 Civil servant not a dictator and is accountable to the people.
