NIGERIA: THE CLASS CAPTAIN AND HIS LIST OF NOISE MAKERS.

If you grew up in Nigeria and attended any of its schools, whether primary or secondary, public or private, the fear of the captain or monitor putting your name on the list of noise makers would drive some fears into you, especially if you had a class teacher like mine. Nigeria as a theatric of sort can bring out all sort in you. So some of us were dumbfounded few weeks ago when the President of d Federal Republic of Nigeria, while trying to defend the lateness in the composition of his cabinet declared at a forum that MINISTERS ARE NOTHING BUT NOISE MAKERS.

My Director in the office called my attention to the article and asked me if it isn't true. I told him frankly "Oga, this isn't true". A Minister as far as I understand isn't a noise maker but a POLICY MAKER. That a Permanent Secretary does well in a ministry does not make him the maker of the policy but he is to be the one who implements the policies of the Government. That's the sole reason why he is apolitical and should be seen to be.

The President goofed when he referred to ministers as mere noise makers and it was foolish for many Nigerians to have not only believed him but hailed him for such a speech. But it is now highly hypocritical and conspicuously fanatical for us to hail the President for choosing certain Technocrats who will deliver as Ministers cum Noise makers. What I am concerned about here is blind support and not against anyone's nomination.

Well, going through the ministerial list, I can see some noisemakers. Babatunde Raji Fashola, for example is one. His achievements in his first term as governor of Lagos state made so much noise that it won gubernatorial seat for his party in the Southwest. Rotimi Amaechi, is a known noise maker especially since he left PDP. Do I need to tell you about the noise making prowess of Liar Mohammed? And so on. Therefore, Mr President may not entirely be wrong in sending this list of Noisemakers to the National Assembly.

When these individuals are eventually screened and given their respective portfolios, I hope they will bring in their NOISEMAKING PROWESS to bring about the much-needed and MUCH-TOUTED CHANGE their respective ministries and all Nigerians needed.

I am a wolewole

God bless Nigeria.

Until quite recently, I have never been a noisemaker

But now, if it takes noisemaking to serve as Minister of the Federal Republic, then I'm ready to make a lot of NOISE.
