papatosibe: Hows GEJ's move autocratic? He only changed their name. Whats autocratic about that?





He does not have the power to do that. Now if he did that, that would be autocratic.


I hope you now see the difference?



I'd like to believe that you didnt make this careless post while stoned out of your mind from Toluene inhalation. Now. could you please provide a link to the result of the carefully analysed public poll you conducted showing how unpopular GEJ is in the SW. Because I actually like the dude wella. . .

obviously it flew past you cos you were in a hurry to attack me and you failed to notice where I derived the analysis from, even though i mentioned it in the same line you quoted. Now, read again and check the bold and read the post I was referring to also. Good night!

At least one thing becomes clear from your comment, he is not loved and respected from that region and the move was only an attempt to spite the people of that region. I say to him 'well done!

Beaf: Politics in that area is governed by rudeness and ceaseless attempts to ridicule the office of the President. Consultation would have been a useless exercise.

Beaf: ^
Does it matter what they were based on? If a person shows they are uncivil, then they will remain uncivil in any setting.



Do you think the SW is a separate country from Nigeria? Or that you are not under Nigerian law? You better think again.
The court cannot do anything, it is a waste of time, cos MAULAG belongs to the FG. Simple as.

You and coogar kept on repeating this. Who is FG? Who gave FG his powers? The People!

For God sake this is democracy, the government of the people by the people for the people. I say again, only an insensitive and senseless government officials do things under democracy without carrying the people concerned along.

I see, so autocratic move becomes GEJ best option? He should just cut off the region then or cede it to Benin republic. Or is that not within his powers?

Beaf: There are no laid down processes. Remember that the governing council is also appointed by the FG and its the same FG that would foot the bill for the name change.
Those who didn't like him hardly matter, because they would have hated him even if he was Jesus anyway, so why should he consider them or try to carry them along?

Let the court determine if there are processes to be followed or not.

Yes he need not bother about those who don't like him, but am sure he just lost the support of some of those who liked him before now with this thoughtless, irresponsible and insensitive move.

Beaf: I do not believe there is a due path and I am sure you agree with me that any consultation would only have led to attempts to ridicule, because todays politics seems to be about how rude people can get, rather than about substance.
I really don't believe that there are any set procedures for renaming a school the FG owns 100%.

The possibility of consultation not yielding a desired goal does not nullifies it. Good leaders exploits it to good use. Lay down process and institutions are greater than office holders. And there is no point doing something that is unpopular, after-all government/democracy is about people and not about an individual/president vain glory or self interest.

Well I hope the matter will be taken to court and the court will determine if the president err or not.

@Coogar

Tell me you didn't grow up in military home or environment. Your military tendency is giving me concern for my aburo o

Seriously though, there is nothing wrong in changing a name of an institution, and I have no problem naming a great institution after Abiola, he deserves it. But there are lay down processes that should be respected and the president is not above these processes.

If the lay down process indicates that there is a need for consultation with the university governing council, then it should/must be respected by any lay abiding government official.

Even without a lay down process, only an insensitive and irresponsible government will wake up overnight, under democracy and give out an order for a change on matter that affect many people without carrying along key stakeholders.

Yes Jonathan is most likely going to get away with it, but IMO he has only dented his already bad image. From political perspective; what he did is most likely not going to make those who don't like him begin to like him, but it will definitely make him lose some of those few supporters he has left. I really wonder who his advisers are.

hmnnnn! na wa!

I agree with the don.

hmnnnnnn....

I at least see it as admittance that he has not been tackling those things before now.

So my questions are: What have you been doing all these while & why should anyone believe you now Mr President?

hmnnnnn..... shame!

I would have proposed the states be merged and reduced to 6, then create more LGA and empower the LGA more.

In my opinion, I believe if you want to honour somebody, you go to the market and buy an
expensive gift for that person; you don’t hijack another person’s gift and write the name of the person you want to honour on it. In the same vein, if any government wants to honour any individual – dead or alive, such government should start projects from the scratch and not merely change the name of an already established institution. If it takes the later option, it would depict such government as lazy, opportunistic and one that doesn’t even know what honouring is all about.

I think so too.

This is wickedness. All in the name of making money!

Imagine people dying cos of malaria after spending money to buy such fake malaria drug?

Terrible!

May God and the Devil together loot all Nigerian looters.
