Ofunaofu:
A close examination of Tinubu’s ambassadorial list makes it difficult to escape the conclusion that his administration has little interest in delivering purposeful governance or enhancing Nigeria’s global standing.

Across all the appointments made by Tinubu, not a single technocrat or credible expert can be found. It is therefore unsurprising that the economy is in tatters and that Nigeria’s stature within the comity of nations continues to deteriorate.

Lastly, This is obviously a thank-you appointment package to Yakubu for manufacturing the glitch that ensured Tinubu could grab it, snatch it, and run away with it.

Cromagnon:
eminently qualified like who
How many political value do they have

Lithiumite:
You will just grab your phone and start typing gibberish like you are trying to misinform nonentities......no technocrats,like you even know what the term means.

Ofunaofu:
Before you accuse anyone of typing gibberish, at least try to address the substance of the argument. A close examination of Tinubu’s ambassadorial list and, in fact, most of his appointments shows a clear pattern, political patronage over proven competence. That is not an opinion, it’s an observable reality.

If you genuinely believe the administration is filled with technocrats, then do this very simple thing: Mention just one person in Tinubu’s government whose global credentials place them in the same league as Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala or Akinwumi Adesina of the PDP era. Just one.

Until you can do that, please spare us the lectures about who understands the meaning of technocrat. The results of the administration so far, economic instability, policy inconsistency, insecurity and deteriorating international perception speak louder than any partisan defense.

Boss there are a thousand and one with political value whether in APC ALBANY AVENUEBERGEN STREET[/size]

[/size=8pt]or other parties but the curious and brazen thing about the appointment is that why granting the former INEC Chair when the President knows well that there a lot of people who suspect and believe the former chair used his position to rig or tilt the to the favour of the President?[/size]

[/size=8pt] I mean is the President aware that this can be used as a cheap political point against him? Check it out and see. It clearly looks like a settlement for a loyal individual not tothe state but to the personal progression of the President.

The problem everyone has with you guys is your tactless unrefined criticism,putrid propaganda and your brazen confidence at ignorance...... should everyone be a world bank director or international development banker......go read up the achievements of wale edun,cardoso,pate- the minister for health,alausa- minister for education,even adelabu- minister for power who was an erstwhile cbn director,the minister of state for finance- anite.......

So many others who are erudite in their own light and can hold their own anywhere.......the ambassadorial lost clearly posited that there are career and non career nominees which is standard practice by all past govts......the lines of Reno and ffk which you would always like to insult are classified as non career nominations and yes political patronage is part of politics and governance.

Ofunaofu:
You just proved the exact point you’re arguing against.
No one said everyone must be a World Bank director, the issue is that Tinubu’s appointments are driven by political patronage, not competence.

Edun was a state commissioner, not some global economic force. Cardoso was a commercial banking guy, a corporate marketer suddenly repackaged as a top-tier monetary expert only after Tinubu appointed him.
Yet none of them including the ones you listed come close to the global stature of Okonjo-Iweala or Adesina.

And that was the challenge: name one person in this government on that level. Just one.
You still couldn’t.

So instead you fell back on political patronage is normal.
Exactly and that’s the problem. The ambassadorial list alone reads like a list of favours repaid, not merit-based selections.

Meanwhile, the results speak for themselves:
economic chaos, policy zigzags, worsening insecurity and declining investor confidence.
That’s not the track record of a government filled with world-class technocrats.

Until you can name that one global heavyweight, please spare us the lectures.
Facts aren’t propaganda just because they hurt.

Lithiumite:
Your ignorant self couldn't just read to find out wale edun and atedo peterside started investment banking together.....you call cardoso a marketer,a nab who headed Citibank which is a foremost international organisation ....I equally mentioned Ali pate,the minister for health,just go read up on him......your pdp brought the likes of emefiele and rabble rousers like SLS who couldn't differentiate politics from economic management...... emefiele"s tenure is on record to have been a disaster of humongous proportion.

Cromagnon:


Clearly not enough



That's electoral value







Maybe but he scored more points cos the next man knows he will be taken care of if he plays ball[/size]

Ofunaofu:
Emefiele served the majority of his tenure under Buhari’s APC government. So if you want to blame him for economic mismanagement, you’re indirectly blaming Tinubu too, Tinubu brought Buhari and should share in the blame. It's the same APC

As for Cardoso, yes, he headed Citibank but heading a corporate bank and managing a nation’s currency are two very different ballgames. Even with Emefiele’s flaws, he managed the Naira-to-dollar exchange better than Cardoso has in just two years. To be precise: when Tinubu took office, the Naira was officially exchanging at N460 to a dollar; today, after two years, it’s over N1,500 to a dollar. Numbers don’t lie.

And your argument about Edun, Peterside, or Ali Pate? Being a marketer or investment banker doesn’t automatically make you a global economic heavyweight. None of them come close to the stature of Okonjo-Iweala or Adesina, which was the challenge to begin with.

So yes, political patronage is exactly the problem, and throwing fancy CVs around doesn’t change that.

You go later injure your tenant with the increment.

Lithiumite:
Even okonji knows the pedigree ot these men.....we can't all be world bank directors or international investment czars but wale edun has made his mark and your pointless begrudging of the finance guru doesn't take anything away from his pedigree.

This is the final time I would condescend to your jaundiced myopia claiming a man that was borrowing to defend the naira keeping it artificially low at 460 to the detriment of the whole economy.....you claim such a man has done a better job than the one who forthrightly ended the lacuna in our financial sector by ending subsidies, dysfunctional arbitrage that only benefited a privileged few......there is no point going further on this,you and your ilk are propagandist at best with your anti tinubu narrative which many sane minds are always quick to shoot down.

Cromagnon:
for you not for him

ZombieTAMER:
Don't you have insecurity issues in the country?

[/size=8pt]
don't you borrow to support your budget even when you don't pay subsidies anymore?

so it's for you as well

GiftofGod77:
Yes but ultimately the electorates determine who they will vote for. Even the military are watching the whole world is watching. This is why President Donald Trump referred to us as a disgraced country. While to people who think loyalty to individuals and regards is normal will agree to this, it is still wrong because a time will come when the masses will react and it normally occurs violently.

[size]

[/size=8pt]

When they react they will carry all these points in mind. What is right is right. Besides's what is God thinking about such actions? Is it right to use a peoples asset and constitutional property for personal aims or proclivities?

[size]

[/size=8pt]

Is it morally right? It snacks off corruption in fact in a glaring manner ....

Is it your political point


when you get there don't settle your h supporters
Let's see how long you last

Cromagnon:

Till then
Made usually don't do shit and when they do new masters emerge and repeat



all this your emotional talk no get any value in reality
Read your Bible well God took the one talent from and give to the guy with five talents since you choose to be lazy


yup but it is what it is all over the world

All your sentiment no get electoral value in reality
Get up from your slumber
Even when God sent manna the Jews still had to do their party and pick it up

GiftofGod77:
There is value in what am saying. And the Biblical example you gave about talents does not match up because that Biblical situation was about wealth management but we are talking about human development and leadership which God clearly states must be done with the utmost fairness, equity and justice. He hates scales that are not fair. He aims and looks for men that will manage His people with fairness and equity and justice and truth. Or how do you see?

GiftofGod77:
Hahahaha you are funny. But it's well. I pray the President succeeds. I am just being objective and sensitive since what ever he does is interpreted by all. I mean well actually....

Cromagnon:
He will at his goals but his success will not be ours
Socialism never works
It's left to capitalist to do the needful

Cromagnon:
keep telling yourself that
No be only wealth management
Are you his ppl
Just look at the way we behave
Don't join God name in vain
He want there when you voted for criminals

[/size=8pt]Notice the coup scare that occurred. [size]

[/size=8pt]He has to make decisions that positively impact the nation state. [size]

[/size=8pt]Secondly I did not vote any criminal. I voted based on the information at my disposal. [size]

[/size=8pt]I voted based on my conscience ....

GiftofGod77:
His success has to be ours....if it is his then then the kind of treatment he got from Donald Trump with respect to the state of the nation as a disgraced country will just be the beginning of how woes ....

Im sorry to say that Nigeria can never get better cos the problem isnt just the politicians but the people themselves contribute larger portion of Nigeria’s problems
