At a time when intelligent men and women are complaining that the cost of governance is becoming too outrageous this man goes and solidifies his 'business as usual' attitude
we need ministries reduced, executive and special assistants scrapped not multiplied.
the cost of governance is almost matching the sheer size of corruption and both are having an equal effect on the masses.
At a time when governments all over are reducing the size of government in view of present day economic realities, our state governors have 100 special aides.
We are doomed as a people.
I will spill blood if need be to be registered and i will vote, if only to have a clear conscience against this ineptitude that is being fostered on us.

While this is on, Jega wants to empty the national treasury in the name of voters registration.
this nation is in a 'one chance' bus speeding to hell.

[code]God save us in this country please what make it a big deal now that Bianca was given special adviser for such portfolio? Is this portfolio that much an important position? Why do all things means something else to Nigerians for God sake? Anybody appointed for any position people will say something same was the blablabla during Anenih wife appointment to women affairs and today she is doing her best. Can any one tell me the crime Bianca has commited? Can anyone tells me how what Gej did has anything to do with gaining political support? Political support from who? Ojukwu or who? Does he need Ojukwu or whatever for any support? Or is Bianca and her husband a member of PDP at all?

  

I find it so hard to understand my fellow country men. Does Bianca step on anybody's toes or corrupt or stole anybody's money please why cant she get the appointment is she not a humanbeign? Special adviser is not Minister, not a governor, not Perm. Sec, not a commissioner so what is the big deal in this appointment?

We just like Noise! Noise!! Noise!!! and Noise to create unecessary dissaffection, A much younger generation was appointed to come on board still we complain no wonder IBB says the youth are not ready to lead Nigeria because how do the youth get into the system is it not through this minor appointment for God sake? He did not choose IBB son or daughter nor Atiku or the so called political demons children but a wife of a respected man of Ojukwu status so why all all this noise and rants? God have mercy. No offense this is my own view.

E bi like say you people no understand the political and public relations arithmetic, calculation cum machinations.

1. The move is to draw the Igbos closer to President Jonathan (whether it will work or not is another matter).

2. Some people here have complained about Madam Patience's speaking and reading abilities. Well, the new Senior Special Adviser to the President on diaspora affairs can easily be deployed to represent Madam at events she is best advised not to represent her husband.

3. It does not "hurt a man" to have a beautiful married female assistant working with him?  

@ poster

This is some dumb joke abi.

Nice on let wait to see as it goes

A resounding round of thunderous applause for the president the cerebral ing, KAI, ANOTHER WRONG STEP IN WRONG DIRECTION.

Again,

Have we considered why he made the other appointments aside that of Bianca?
Was it also to get votes from those regions?
If what 'we' say about the Igbos is true,I guess he'll get more votes by sharing money than giving the wife of their respected 'leader' an appointment.

Personally,I am waiting for the drama to unfold finally.Let the other contestants name their running mates before I decide on who to vote for.

Ribadu lacks political experience,if he appoints some credible person with political clout,fine.My suggestions in the south are Fashola and Ngige.But then,why has Ribadu suddenly become friends with Tinubu?The same man he was chasing with his so called damning evidences of corruption.hmmmmmm!
Buhari 'we' believe will take the anti-corruption crusade far(hope we are correct in that assessment),but he's an extremist.He needs an administrator/technocrat and/or serious minded christian as running mate.I also suggest the likes of Tunde Bakare or Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala.
If both of them fail me on this,then I will gladly vote my GEJ.
From all indications,who said his ascendancy to the exalted position is not an act of God?When could a Niger Delta person have become the president of this country?Not even militancy could have given it to them,and even if so,not given to someone as 'weak' as GEJ.
Let's watch and pray.

Apologies but this post is senseless

Its quite upsetting that up till now most Nigerians behave as if they know it all, firstly this appointment was not created for Bianca, it was already in existence before. Secondly, she would have been nominated before the appointment, if not why am I not a political appointee. Therefore, someone, well respected saw some good qualities in her enough to merit her been given that appointment. Thirdly, why at this age would even fellow women folk feel that the appointment of a woman is based on her ability to satisfy a sitting Presidents libido. I mean that is just disgusting. The fact that we have freedom to express ourselves now is very beautiful but that does not mean that we should use that to abuse our leaders at any given opportunity because this is just allowing people not from this country to view our leaders as inept people. And talking about leadership, a leader need not be strong physically, eloquent or handsome it all depends on his ability to perform given some circumstances, to be fair to him GEJ has done well since becoming the C in C mind you, he has not even spent up to one year in power and he has had to contend with crisis after crisis coupled with our pessimistic criticism that seeks to read ulterior motives over his good intentions, oooo he is this, ooo he did that. Let us learn to respect our leaders for a change after all during the Abacha years you could get arrested for making such comments or did you even have a lap top, phone or all our comfy gadgets then?

My fellow NL members, look at it this way, looking @ Patience, you can tell she does not give GEJ any more BJ's since she is busy with state affairs and getting older by the day as well.

GEJ needed to freshen up his sex life and so was advised to bring in someone with experience of looking after Older people.

Indeed. That is precisely what Danjuma and his panel tell Jonathan below. Sadly , it does not appear as if Jonathan is capable of listening to sensible advice . To me , what is written below is 'respectful' acknowledgement that Jonathan is highly inept , senselessly profligate and clueless .

http://dailytrust.dailytrust.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=10931:danjuma-panel-to-jonathan-cut-recurrent-budget-to-40&catid=2:lead-stories&Itemid=8

Danjuma panel to Jonathan: Cut recurrent budget to 40% .
Thursday, 27 January 2011 00:00 Nasiru L. Abubakar    
.

Ten key recommendations intended to turn around the course of the Nigerian state were made to President Goodluck Jonathan by the Gen T.Y. Danjuma Presidential Advisory Committee last week, beginning with one that recurrent expenditure should not exceed 40% of the national budget and this should determine the size of the government. Other recommendations contained in a summary report submitted to Jonathan by the council dated January 20, 2011 and signed by Danjuma, include the need to reduce Federal ministries to 18 at most and to rationalise all non-ministerial agencies to eliminate overlap, duplication and redundancies.


Similarly, the Danjuma panel recommended pursuing programs to enhance capacity of the public service; reduce the salaries, allowances and overhead expenditure of political office holders; and pay to legislators only salaries and allowances as determined by the Revenue Mobilisation, Allocation and Fiscal Commission [RMAFC].

It also recommended a pruning of the budget deficit to no more than 3% of GDP; limiting borrowing by federal and state governments to only productive projects; stopping the legislature from hiking budget proposals; ensuring that expenditure and project costs are internationally competitive; scrupulous auditing of public accounts, as well as strict adherence to a policy of zero tolerance for corruption.

[b]The Danjuma panel expressed “grave concern over the sub-optimal management of our national resources” in four key indices. It condemned the deterioration in the ratio of recurrent to capital expenditure over the years in favour of the former, from 39:61 percent in 2000AD to 60:40% in 2010 and a projected further deterioration to 71:29% this year.

It said the country is dedicating the bulk of its resources to finance government administration “rather than making investments in key infrastructure, to fuel growth and enhance quality of lives.”

It frowned at a situation where there are 30 federal ministries and a plethora of extra-ministerial departments, 42 ministers and “an army of special advisers and assistants.” It also said the National Assembly consumed N144bn in 2010, or N307m per legislator.

The Danjuma council also frowned at “the abuse of legislative oversight functions” with the allocation of big sums of money to finance committee members’ visits to projects sites. It said despite the cost, this has not added anything to the quality of spending and project execution.

It also said “unrealistsic budget assumptions have pushed up the government to resort to excessive borrowing to finance the budget.” It warned on the dangers of the growing public debt burden on the country’s future and said delay in passing the Petroleum Industry Reform Bill [PIB] has led to a suspension of new investment in the oil sector.

According to the panel, “no economic indicator better exemplifies our poor management of resources than the depletion of the Excess Crude Account at a time of rising oil production and prices.”[/b]

It said the account was eroded from $20bn in 2007 to $1bn last year, and even that $1bn was shared out between the three tiers of government on December 31, 2010.

Bianca vs Patience
If you are GEJ who will you choose?

marissa:

Hmm GEJ, hope ure not thinking wit ya trousers 

As Ikemba loff dis gal reach, dis appointment will either kill him or wake him from da dead!!  LOL

Goodluck to him, Goodluck to you, Goodluck to Nigeria

Dame, watch ya space

ROFLMAO!! GEJ, if Ikemba catch u. . . .

about time we see pretty women in nigeria politics bo. way to go Bianca.
worworish ones, give way

President Jonathan now turned the presidency to traditional stool (traditional leader). He dishes out political position like given out chieftancy title.

Again,

Have we considered why he made the other appointments aside that of Bianca?
Was it also to get votes from those regions?

Well, taking care of Ikemba is also a national sevice.
