President Goodluck Jonathan said recently that he would no longer focus attention on creating jobs in the country because of security challenges confronting Nigeria. The President was at the 60th National Executive Committee meeting of the Peoples Democratic Party when he made the pronouncement. One would have to check the books to find out what else presidents create, if they don’t create jobs. Actually, there were two things he said at the meeting: Nigerians should not expect him to fulfil his election promises, as well as implement his party manifesto on job creation and power supply. Two, he compared the performance of the current administration and that of his party with the worst case possible, not the best, and scored himself a pass mark. One could take a closer look at the latter, for starters.

“We know what is happening in other African countries,” the President had said. “If the ruling party over-intimidates and over-imposes, using the weight of the Federal Government and the citizens revolt, it will weaken the political system and create confusion and instability. But the PDP, even though, we control the Federal Government, we operate a system that even the opposition, fly higher than us. They abuse us more, but we allow it. And it is the way the PDP is handling the affairs of the country that is stabilising democracy in the country.” Good. But placing that side by side with other African countries is not. One would assume a look at advanced democracies is where to draw comparisons, and thus aim for the best for Nigeria. The President went on to lament the loss by his party in some states during the general elections. And he realised everyone could be swept away if his party exerts itself, and he therefore made a promise: The party would not use its federal might against other political parties because “we witnessed what happened in the first republic.” It is good politicians are proclaiming that they have learnt from the past. But then, even all of that amounts to veiled threats, a reason Nigerians would want to be more on their guard. It is only here leaders say they choose not to rig elections and expect anyone to shower them with praises. Surely, Nigerians were not among those that must have clapped that time at the meeting where their President renewed his vow never to rig elections, only his party members were.

And there is the second issue. Development plan for the country that the President said is scuttled as things stand, because of security challenges. “During the [presidential] campaign, our emphasis was more on job creation, power, but now what worries us most is security. This is because you must be alive before you will eat food.” He gave a description, too, that security is “very, very fundamental. If you are not safe, you can’t even think of hunger because a dead person does not need food.” There is no point stating that this is an oversimplification of a complex issue, because thorough thinking of issues involved would show that what the President said he would be too preoccupied to focus on, is one of the remote causes of the current security challenges. The not- so-disciplined tend to find negative jobs for themselves, when positive ones are not available.

Nigerians would recall their leader had once announced that the plan for the introduction of palliatives measures after the removal of fuel subsidy was scuttled. Discerning minds are taking notes of what their leader said but later took back. If an analyst among the President’s men does not take notes of such as a sign of weakness, of lack of a well-articulated plan before policy pronouncements were made, he will take notes of nothing. Now the issues are simple: Does anyone consider the implications of a statement such as this on Nigerians? Does anyone consider the implications of this on the enemies of Nigeria? Here, there is a need to do a comparison in order to see, if the President and his political team that seemed to have agreed with him that implementing a party manifesto would neither be their focus nor job creation be their worry, have concrete reasons.

Nigeria would not be the first country to have security challenges. The September 11 attacks transformed the first term of President George W. Bush and led to what he has called the Global War on Terrorism. Many were never so sure if the campaign to deal with terrorists should have been called, “war.” But the US government increased military operations, introduced new economic measures and put political pressure on groups it accused of being terrorists, as well as on governments and countries accused of sheltering them. It indeed went to war in October 2001 in Afghanistan in order to remove the Taliban regime which harboured al-Qaeda and to capture al-Qaeda forces. Bush did not get his prize — Osama bin Laden — for the remaining seven years he stayed in office, President Barack Obama who succeeded him did. The aftermath of the terror issue for the US was far-reaching. The nation was shaken to its root. There were, of course, the security, economic and political implications, as well as having to expend resources on the international scene to achieve security for its citizens. Yet, although the economic situation kept the rate of employment relatively high in the Bush years, it was nothing comparable to what obtains in the Obama administration that is not as threatened, security-wise, as Bush after September 2011.

As a matter of fact, and so far, the employment statistics during Bush’s period in office continue to look better than those under Obama’s to date. During Bush’s tenure, the private sector lost a net 646,000 jobs. In contrast, under President Obama’s administration, the private sector has still lost a net 549,000 private sector jobs. One had more security challenges than the other, yet, he came out well off. It was because he didn’t give in to despondency, and he did not capitulate to terrorists, giving excuse that security challenges would not let him do anything else. Furthermore, under Obama, the private sector has eliminated nine jobs for every job it created under Bush. While the private sector job outlook has improved recently, the economy still must create 549,000 private sector jobs to break even. Significantly, January 2012 was the first month in which the overall number of jobs lost during the Obama administration was lower than the number lost during the Bush administration. And the unemployment rate is still about a percentage point worse today than it was during Bush’s last full month in office.

One thing that could be stated is this: The kind of statement attributed to Jonathan, is to say the least, daring, and it can only be made in a nation where politicians depend on everything other than the votes of the electorate to remain in office. In the US, no sitting President since Franklin D. Roosevelt in the 1930s and early 1940s has won re-election when unemployment was over 7.2 per cent on election day. In fact, the challenges that Roosevelt met when he arrived office was such that Americans were committing suicide. Then existing economic and financial challenges at the time were security threats to his nation. One of the earliest and most successful things Roosevelt did was to put his citizens back to work; it was one of the reasons he remained the only American president elected four times into office. Yet, Nigeria’s President said job creation can go to sleep. This is a depressing statement, scary in a nation where citizens keep hoping that the government would do all it can to create room for them to have jobs. And this is a pronouncement that can serve to bolster the resolve of terrorists, knowing they have succeeded in distracting the government, which was their aim right from the word go. Does any Nigerian recollect his President saying during his last media chat that not travelling out of the country to attend an earth conference in Rio, Brazil, would send wrong signals to terrorists and investors?

Lagos State Governor Babatunde Fashola on Tuesday reprimanded two military officers for driving on the dedicated Bus Rapid Transit lane.

The soldiers were accosted on the BRT lane at the Outer Marina on the Island.

Fashola expressed dismay that those who should show discipline and professionalism were the ones violating the BRT regulation.

Colonel K.I. Yusuf drove an Army Green Peugeot 406 with registration number BO1 – 150 NA, while Staff Sergeant A.J. Adeomi drove a black Toyota Camry.

Perhaps realising the problem that could come from being accosted by the governor, Yusuf reportedly alighted from his car and saluted Fashola repeatedly, saying, “I am sorry, very, very sorry.”

But the governor instead asked, “Why, as a senior military officer, did you choose to break the law instead of preserving it?”

The incident was said to have drawn the attention of commuters and other passers-by who reportedly commended the governor for showing good leadership.

Fashola, after the incident, said it was unfortunate that those who ought to be defenders of democratic values were the ones violating the law.

He said, “The highest levels of the military command have continuously expressed their commitment to supporting democracy and to subjecting themselves and their officers to the laws of the country. Those officers that I caught today are a very bad example for the military.”

The governor added that he had complained to the superiors of the culprits, saying they would be sanctioned appropriately.

He said his apprehension of the military men signified his commitment and that of his government that all violators of the law should be sanctioned.

He said, “There is a zero tolerance for lawlessness. There is zero tolerance for breach of our regulations and we are going to do more of this. We are going to take control of our traffic. We cannot build our way out of traffic congestion; our responsibility is to manage traffic and manage congestion.

“I don’t use the BRT lane, I sit down in traffic and I expect everyone who wants to drive his car to do the same. The alternative is to use the bus.

“The passengers in the bus have the right also to use the road and we cannot encroach on that lane which we have reserved for them. This is democratisation of the road and I will defend it.”

the guy dey happy,ooooooooo.

pro01: I must confess this clown's PR machine is extremely strong, inspite of his weak musical substance. So because it's D'banj, with a below average song for that matter, you nitwits would put two Oyato threads on the front page, so that three or four posters would repeatedly argue and fight to 20 pages, and then you fools would say D'Banj is "trending"? Current genuine monster hits like Nyanya's Kukere, Wizkid's Azonto Freestyle, Chuddy K's Gaga Crazy, and Ice Prince's Juju should have 19 threads on the front page then, and they'll be more deserving. Mumu moderators and even mumu-er D'Banj a.r.s.eh.ole lickers.
