Lets give buhari time. 30days is too short for us to base our judgments on!

This is not President Muhammadu Buhari’s first 30 days leading Nigeria. His first 30 days was in January 1984 and just as it is now, there was a problem with workers not being paid their salaries then. Within his first 30 days in office in 1984, Buhari attended to this issue by commanding the governors to pay the workers their four months wages. In 2015, Buhari has made the same move, this time, providing the states with N413billion to do so. This move came after Buhari’s camp faced much criticism over the pace at which it was bringing about change to Nigeria. Newspapers are questioning, columnists are talking, and even the blogs are writing about the messiah’s speed, but no one, it seems, remembers. It seems that everyone has forgotten that this is our messiah’s second coming and he is no stranger to criticims on the pace of his moves and movements.
The concept of a messiah is one that has come up billions of times throughout man’s history. It is a repeated phenomenon that shows itself whenever people have reached their breaking point, when people are ready to give up on hope, when good just isn’t good enough. We don’t have to look too far to find examples of this because this phenomenon is taking place right here in Nigeria. Former president, Dr Goodluck Jonathan and his administration fell upon desperately difficult circumstances; from a failing economy to the Boko Haram insurgency. Any administration would have had a tough time keeping the country afloat in such stormy weather — granted Jonathan and his staff erred multiple times — nevertheless they were faced with a daunting task.
It would seem, however, that Nigerians did not believe this. They did not believe that the country was proving too hard to run because of the situations at hand, rather, they believed the country was proving too hard to run because of the leadership at hand. No other president in Nigeria has survived the amount of sheer mockery and catalogue of insults that Jonathan endured. They mocked his image, his inability to be assertive, and his policies and, let’s forget our vibrant ex-First Lady, a true gift of comedy from God Himself.
So Nigerians felt it was time for change and they searched for a messiah. What they got was a man who was no stranger to playing the role of the “messiah”. General Muhammadu Buhari played the role of messiah in Nigeria in 1984, then as a military head of state, but a messiah nonetheless. It has been 30 days plus since Nigerians elected their godsend messiah and the impatient Nigerians are already complaining. “Where is the change?” is the new tune that is ringing in the mouths of Nigerians everywhere. A quick glimpse back to President Buhari’s initial foray as a “messiah” would reveal that the change may be on the way.
It is formidable how similar Nigeria, in 1984, is to Nigeria in 2015. From the terrible economic climate, unpaid government workers to the desperate longing for a change in leadership, history reveals that Nigeria is fundamentally still the same country it was then. The president before December 31, 1983 was Alhaji Shehu Shagari and he was ousted by the military after four years and three months in office. The amount of corruption and indiscipline recorded during his presidency was incredulous and Nigerians shed no tears for him when he was kicked out. Sounds familiar?
The similarities don’t end there, however, they continue into Buhari’s method of implementing change. Many Nigerians voted for Buhari in 2015 because of his experience in running Nigeria in the past and it is still this same set of Nigerians that are now calling him “Baba Go Slow”. Anyone who voted for Buhari to bring change and expected him to resurrect before 30 days does not know the man they voted for. This is because history is simply repeating itself. Even in 1984 when Buhari assumed his then newly found messiah status, Nigerians were quick to complain, indeed some newspapers called him “slow coach”.
Buhari became head of state on December 31, 1983 and Nigerians began complaining by January 15, 1984! In 1984, Buhari asked Nigerians to give him 18 months to truly and adequately effect the change that they desired. When he made this announcement, as expected, Nigerians lashed out against the General and expressed their disappointment. One can only imagine the uproar that would ensue if Buhari should make such an announcement today. Some things, as it is said, are better left to imagination. When defending himself, his management and the pace at which they were operating, General Buhari said in 1984: “We assure Nigerians that there is definitely going to be action but action has to be based on facts. We have to first gather the facts clearly before we can act”.
When a new government takes over from a different government, caution must be the watchword. They might feel that they are steering clear of the mistakes of the former government by making their own set of policies only to land in the same murky waters the former government got stuck in. The amount of expectations placed on the messiah equals the task that faces the messiah and this is not a sensible equation. Nigeria is far too dynamic, sensitive and problematic to be rescued in 30 days.
Contrary to popular hype, then and now, Buhari has been working. In 1984, when many claimed he was a “slow coach”, a commentator asked: ‘“What has really changed in Nigeria? Nothing.” In those 30 days, however, Buhari successfully instructed governors to pay salary arrears of four months, reduced the state ministries to nine, asked each governor to appoint nine commissioners comprising, at least, a woman and reverted local governments to the 1979 structure. All these, however, were not enough for the change — hungry Nigerians. It should be noted that Buhari has not accomplished as much in 2015, however, if he did, would the reception have been the same?
Patience is a virtue that Nigerians loathe. They did not have it in 1984 and they do not have it now. As these sets of mirrored events occur, Nigerians should quickly take note and refer to the history books. The man voted in office has a style, a calculated method and this method requires time. In an act of consistency, Buhari revisits his old playbook for his second round in the presidential ring. Many might argue that his method, like him, are aged but some principles will always ring true. He may be telling Nigerians that it took years to get Nigeria to this current state and so it won’t take days to get her out of it.

Law students of the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) in Ile-Ife, Osun State, did Nigeria proud when they beat their counterparts from the University of Pretoria to win the Manfred Lachs Space Law Moot Competition, a regional contest held at the Pretoria High Court in South Africa. CALEB ADEBAYO (Graduating law student) reports.

You could cut through the tension in the Palace of Justice of the Pretoria High Court in South Africa that day with a knife. The courtroom was filled with people who came to watch legal fireworks by the opposing counsel. The outcome of the case was not to jail anyone; it was all part of the thrills and frills at the grand finale of the regional Manfred Lachs Space Law Moot Contest held in Pretoria.

Students of the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) in Ile-Ife, Osun State, thrilled members of the audience with their knowledge of the law when they met their counterparts from the University of Pretoria at the final  of the competition. OAU students won.



The Manfred Lachs Space Law Moot Competition is a yearly contest where law students worldwide show their litigation proficiency in proceedings based on international space law disputes. The contest imitates proceedings at the International Court of Justice.

This year’s edition was hosted by the South African Council for Space Affairs (SACSA), a space science regulatory body affiliated to South Africa’s Department of Trade and Industry, in collaboration with the Aerospace Industry Support Initiative.

The argument centred on dispute between two hypothetical countries – SPIDR and URA. It was to present issues relating to the response to a threat posed by the risk of collision of the earth with Near Earth Objects (NEOs). Counsel from each school addressed the utilisation of natural resources and liability for damages occasioned by the NEOs.

Six African universities, including OAU, University of Pretoria, Niger Delta University also from Nigeria, Makerere University in Uganda, University of Juba in South Sudan, and Mount Kenya University, participated in the competition.

The OAU counsel comprised John Odey, Peace Onashile and Toheeb Amuda, the team’s researcher. All of them are 400-Level students. Their lecturer, Dr Oduola Orifowomo, was their coach.



For three days, the teams argued their cases on the legality of outer space science. The OAU team beat the University of Pretoria and Niger Delta University at the preliminary stages.

Phethole Sekhula, a South African lawyer, Icho Kealetswe, an advocate of the High Court of Botswana and Christopher Okegbe, a solicitor from Nigeria presided over the final.

The grand finale was a show of forensic advocacy and oratorical skills as the counsel came up with their arguments. For every principle of law cited by the South African team, the OAU counsel had an answer.

It was be the fourth time OAU would be winning the regional contest. It won it in 2011, 2012 and 2014. The team also won the   Best Written Brief of Argument award.

The OAU students described the feat as “hard-won”, saying they faced many hurdles to win the contest. They praised their coach, whose expertise in space law, they said, helped them to come up with valid arguments.

Peace said: “The competition gave us the opportunity to engage our peers in other parts of Africa in an area of law which is seemingly unregulated. We matched our advocacy acuity with oratorical skills to win the contest.”

Asked about the team’s winning secret, John, the lead speaker, said: “From the onset, we were confronted with vague terms on the field of law that we were not familiar with. It was our task to break it down to understand the meaning of the terms to present our cases in Space Law. The team was conscious of the responsibility placed upon it and we moved faster to argue our points. The victory was not easy to come by; we fought hard and came out successful at the end.”

Dr Orifowomo hailed the students for the feat, saying his team proved to be formidable with its grasp of the fundamentals of space law as exhibited by the  members. He dedicated the victory to the moot and mock group of its OAU’s Faculty of Law, hailing its commitment to the knowledge of space law.

Dr Orifowomo also praised the OAU Vice-Chancellor, Prof Bamitale Omole, and the Dean of Law, Prof M.O. Adediran, for their support.

The OAU students will represent Africa in the international edition of the contest in Israel in October. It will be held during the 66th International Astronautical Congress.

“Sir, can we all become entrepreneurs? And if not, what advice do you have for those of us who look forward to being gainfully employed?”


A young man delivered a dazzling lectures at NYSC Orientation Camp Nkewere LGA of Imo State that changed and determined my passion in life.

He titled the talk “The Jobs Are No More, So Think Entrepreneurship!” I thought, what a great Topic… so I had a tough time battling with rushing thoughts during his ‘sweet’ presentation and at the end I was opportune to ask a question.

I asked, “Sir, can we all become entrepreneurs? And if not, what advice do you have for those of us who look forward to being gainfully employed?”

Unfortunately, he never answered the question. He instead passed a cruel remark on me

He relied “…only lazy people think that way”.

I also wish he never answered me that way because he was booed off the stage and literally ‘Control Z’ all the nice impression he had made.

After my NYSC in 2011, I embarked on a JOB SEARCH ADVENTURE - Took about 26 interviews in 3 years! Changed Job 4 times between 2011& 2013, Completed a Masters Degree in Personnel Psychology...all in the bid to answer my own Questions & Help you with the same!

I Presently work as a Administrative Officer (HR) @ Federal University Oye-Ekiti. Having sat on a couple of interview panels, I have compiled those daunting questions that I have heard or asked at panels. This E-book addresses a portion of my June-2010-unanswered-question.
