I have been thinking seriously on why President Jonathan is constantly being derided and abused by a few but vociferous individuals. The most recent being that emanating from President Obasanjo’s latest book. But what now propelled me into contributing to this debate is the article written by Mr. Nnimmo Bassey, who I have very high regard for since our student days at the University of Nigeria, Enugu campus. In that article captioned “ A Clueless president,” he stated how an African friend he had not seen in years asked him about “his clueless President.” This demonstrates the need for us to remain decorous even in instances of very sharp disagreements. Quite often, Nigerians complain of disrespectful treatments at the airports by immigration and custom officials. There is a saying in Igbo land to the effect that when you describe your cooking pot as useless, people will treat it as rubbish. We Nigerians have often not been mindful of the damage we do to our country and ourselves when we denigrate our institutions and our leaders in a careless and reckless manner. It is even more so when such recklessness comes from a former president who should be more thoughtful and circumspect in his utterances and writings. As we approach the 2015 presidential elections, the denigration of the office of the president is being escalated. The launch of the book, My Watch, by former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo (OBJ) was seen in this light by many commentators. The opposition party, the APC is also determined to do maximum damage to President Jonathan and the office of the President. The utterances from its leadership need a lot of moderation and scrubbing. They have also at various times described Mr. President as clueless and one who runs an auto pilot government. The radical changes promised by President Jonathan during his campaign were captured in the Transformation Agenda document. Programmes identified in this document will be used to evaluate the government of President Jonathan to see if his government can be described as clueless and running on auto pilot. An important barometer of a viable democracy is the sanctity of the voter’s wish. When late President Yar’adua took office, he acknowledged that his election was largely flawed and vowed to clean up the electoral process. President Jonathan who succeeded him has not disappointed in this regard. It is to his credit that subsequent elections have been largely declared as free and fair by international observers. Another important index and benefit of democracy is the freedom of expression, freedom of association and statutorily guaranteed access to information. Under President Jonathan, freedom of speech has remained unencumbered in spite of some unwarranted abuses his government has suffered. President Jonathan remains to date the most demonised, abused and derided President Nigeria has ever had. But it is to his credit that he has never used the security apparatus at his disposal to persecute any one. One can also acknowledge that he signed the Freedom of Information (FOI) Bill into law, a bill that the previous governments avoided for years. Under President Jonathan, the power sector has witnessed the privatisation of the generation and distribution companies. If international and local assessments of this process are anything to go by, the bidding process has been mostly transparent. With this process concluded, one can anticipate an irreversible process in achieving stable power supply in no distant future, the same way the telecommunication sector benefited from privatization. The rehabilitation of the railway system deserves special mention. This important means of transportation had been unfortunately ignored by previous governments. The progress being made in this sector in reopening the railway links to the major cities in Nigeria is commendable. This is being complemented with the dredging of the lower River Niger. We also take particular note of the ongoing construction of the new bridge over the River Benue and the commencement of work on the Second Niger Bridge. The aviation sector is another area that has witnessed significant transformation. The modernisations of the existing airports and construction of new airport terminals have improved the standing of Nigerian airports within the international aviation community. It is therefore not surprising that Nigeria has attained and retained the FAA Category One status. The launching of the National Industrial Revolution Plan (NIRP), and the National Enterprise Development Programme has led to the resuscitation of the Nigeria automobile industry. Nigeria has moved from a net importer of cement to a net exporter of cement by increasing installed capacity from 16.5 million metric tons per annum in 2011 to 39.5 million metric tons per annum in 2014. The transformation agenda of Mr. President, if implemented faithfully, will no doubt significantly improve the Nigerian economy. But we must be mindful of the fact that its impact and success rests on tackling the monster of corruption. One, therefore, cannot fairly evaluate this administration without assessing its approach to addressing the issue of corruption. Although Nigeria has improved slightly with respect to the corruption perception index of Transparency International, the perception of corruption in Nigeria is still high. While there is often a mismatch between perception and reality, one cannot ignore perception. The truth, is that Mr. President needs to demonstrate that his government abhors corruption. While I agree with Mr. President that dealing with corruption is not about parading people on television but devising creative and systematic means of addressing it, there is still need to combine the long term measure of Mr. President with some short term prescriptions. One short term measure could be initiating an executive bill to set up tribunals dedicated to trying cases of corruption. These tribunals should be presided over by credible retired judges. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has often complained about their frustration with the process at the existing courts. The conviction of Governor Ibori at the UK Court vis a vis the merry-go-round experienced in the same case in Nigeria is a case in point. Having stated the issues above, it will be germane to acknowledge what this administration has already done to tackle corruption at its roots. These include the restructuring of the pension payment system, the restructuring of the integrated salary payment system, and the deregulation in the oil and gas sector to check corrupt practices in the downstream sector. The disappearance of perennial queues at our filling stations is one testimony to the success of the creative approach to stemming endemic corruption in the oil sector. Signing of the Anti-Money Laundering Act into law, introduction of an electronic-wallet scheme, that has reduced significantly decades of corruption in the fertiliser and seed sectors in bid to diversify our economy is a laudable stride. Let me hear why you will vote buhari....pls be issue based and not the change talk I've been hearing Thank you!

I did it intentionally, coz am tired of all the ranting and names calling from Gej and GMB camp...seriously. Let there be peace for ounces! |
Hello fellow nairalanders.....I choose to be an hamattan weather reporter live from Kaduna. The city hit a 15 degree celcius this morning and it was frosty cold....yea, the air blows through your skin with a chilling effect and in the nostril minty breath. Omo e come be like say i de Yankee. See pix below and report your own harmattan look or ordeal from where you are....let's begin!

I got wind of this rumour from the site below and I thought to share with you guys to confirm its authenticity http:///2015/01/breaking-obasanjo-defects-to-apc/ |
I have observed with keen interest this trend, that the more the mosques, churches etc the more the rate of immorality in our society. Shouldn't the reverse be the case, or is there any missing link? |
I don't think it has anything to do with the gay ISH...me think that this total buy seizure stems from the fact that nja govt withdrew military person els who were undergoing special training course on counter terrorism as a reprisal attack on US refusal to sale military hardware to nja....and going ahead to buy weapons from rushia and black market/train special forces on counter terrorism. This directly oppose us foreign policy on sales of weapon in black market and worst coming when us-russia relationship is going soar over Crimea triggering a thunderous sanction. Nigeria just happen to suffer coz of d nja-russia military ties. |
I no fit shout...omg |
una never answer amen yet oo |
Can I hear a big amen?

When you want to build a strong firm, stop looking at the finance for the physical structures, though its impt.do more on investing on their mind (increase their mental capacity)- Next on that: Make them dream your dream or bera still CATCH the idea coz when they do your work is half way done...articulate your philosophy accross board and show it by working the talk, I mean u..Yes-u-d-boss! Build the structure: Setup strong structures to checkmate excesses, increase accountability and in the end profitability will become your right and trade mark. Pay attention to details: Don't sweep issues under carpet, take statistics/ indices, and observe trends! Don't do it all by urself: Delegate duties and give out responsibilities, this way u get yourself off unnecessary distractions in order to face pressing issue. Reward: Apply candour and reward deserving staff and client, this will improve loyalty. Make ur workers share holders: Trust me when you make them part of the business they won't want to run it down bcoz they av an interest to protect...its called the sweet police! Separate sentiment from reality: When you find any staff erring be firm to give out neccesary punishment from your policies no mara whose ox is gored!...by that other staff will take caution. Saboteurs/ informants: this is by choice but must firm still use this crude way. So you don't missout on anything...I call it in built cctv! |

If the expert based his assertion on the video, then i believe his report should be disregarded. The video was maliciuosly doctored. The object that flew pass is an aircraft used by student pilot aand by all fact an air traffic route. It was collapse into on video inorder to buttress their claims. Evidence 1 Illumination from different timing Unfortunately the sun radiation dramatically change in the course of unknown aircraft hovering Evidence 2 Variation in wind condition A certain flag was flying high to d direction of the wind and later hunged flat out under few minute. When condition from meteorologic point of view can't just die down in such a manner. Its progressive over long pwriod of time. Deafulted claim 1 Building fell straight' No sir from the angle of view from d cctv, it cave in in a near 90 degree to the direction of the cctv ........Am an unknwon expert....don't ask where! More on the way |
