Just wondering what it takes for a thread to make the front page---- ahhhhh I forget---- a little touch of making GEJ look silly,

It's obvious some people on this thread do not understand what constitutes a systemic problem. You can either have isolated issues or a systemic problem. When you can't even point to a single aspect of our educational system that's world class, that should be enough proof that there is a systemic problem.

My brother , some of your criticism are correct and relevant . I will not attempt to hold brief for Buhari but I think he is one of the best men to lead us as per the Nigeria we have today. I don't fall in the camp of those who believe the Nigerian President has to have everything . You don't build a city without first clearing the Jungle . The crude tractor required to clear the jungle is just as important as all the infrastructure and built entities that will make the City great. Right now the most important qualities for the Nigeria president to have are unshakeable political will , integrity and sincerity . i think Buhari has those qualities . This is why I can overlook some of his shortcomings. Today we have compromised individuals leading virtually every sector to the detriment of Nigeria . This is so because PDP President , by nature of why they are imposed on Nigeria , lack sincerity , integrity and genuine political will .

I have no doubt that Buhari is one of the few Nigerians who would be brave enough to make the likes of Gani Fawehinmi (RIP) or Femi Falana our AGF. I do not doubt that Buhari could make Col. Umar head of the EFCC while virtually every Nigerian PDP President (including GEJ) would settle for a Waziri-type individual , to aid "business as usual" for a few , instead of an incorruptible character like Umar . Under Buhari we will not see Katsina-Alu , or his type, as Cheif Justice of Nigeria. Instead we will see someone of integrity who can deliver Buhari's vision of strong Institutions built by strong characters . The long and short of it is that Buhari is not really required for his ideas . We have wonderful Nigerians who are brilliant , patriotic and desirous of doing their bit to move us forward . Many of those folks don't 'do' politics . They need a character like Buhari , with supreme executive power, to bring them in and protect them so that they can carry out progressive and far reaching reforms across Nigeria . By the time Buhari leaves we may be closer to the type of sanitised nation folks like Fashola and duke can lead with progressive ideas and vision. let us not forget that Democracy is a journey and not a destination . Buhari may be the right driver for this stretch of road Nigeria has to cover in our democratic Journey.

We are not voting the VP in, and clearly when people go out to vote, they are casting their vote for Buhari, and nor Bakare per se.

and talking about intellect, it is obvious that John Oyegun can match Bakare, skill for skill, rhetoric for rhetoric and definetelly idea for idea. So in terms of ability to deliver, ANPP would seem to be the right choice, as Shekarau is clearly miles ahead of Buhari.

Jamb used to be epileptic during the time of prof.Salim Bello,but when Prof.Oyerinde took over what happened?You write jamb and get your result within 2 months.What happened to jamb? A change in the system not the individual.Jamb still retained the former staffs,but the system was modified from the former business as usual approach to a more pragmatic and people orientated approach.

That is what good systems can do.It is capable of changing people.

I maintain that there is something wrong with our system.

Corruption itself is a bye product of a bad system.
