And its the same tribalism that spurred you into writing this presumptive gibberish.
I know Prof. Osibanjo more than you do. Some of you ranting here on the social media have only seen Osibanjo on the Television. I have met and interacted with Prof Osibanjo countless times in his office, at the Faculty of Law beside the Senate building in UNILAG alongside Prof. Ndubuisi Nwokoma of the Department of Economics when I was processing my PhD admission. Prof Osibanjo is an intelligent gentle man and I just enumerated some factors that may militate against his performance in office taking cognizance of the level of maneuvering and gerrymandering in Nigeria's political space, holding other factors constant. I believe so much in objectivity. I will still create another thread to give my suggestions that will likely lead to his success in office, especially in the area of socio-economic development. As an Economist, I have studied the macroeconomic environment of this nation and I can see beyond your level of understaning.

I am not a supporter of PMB neither do I pray for him to die, but one thing is certain, peradventure Buhari dies today (which is common to every living soul), the situation of the country will be worse than it is now under Osibanjo.

REASONS
- Osibanjo is not a career politician and neither is he so smart like Idiagbon to manage the economy of a big country like Nigeria. Remember, academic qualification/prowess is different from Political power. After all, there are so many Professors in the Senate who have never sponsored nor supported any motion in the Senate.

- Tinubu will wreck havoc on the economy of Nigeria under Osibanjo as the later is more of a Puppet to the former. Already, everyone knows his influence in the economy of Lagos State where he holds swear as a demi-god. Remember, Tinubu has already captured Finance Ministry (Adeosun) FIRS (Fowler) and so many other strategic agencies. Imagine when his 'boy' becomes the President. He may even auction the country.

- The North will frustrate Osibanjo the way they did to Jonathan and this will drastically affect his performance.

- The economy is already dead - There is high level of unemployment co-existing with galloping inflation (stagflation), there is liquidity freeze in the economy, there is oil price shock in the international oil market which has resulted in dwindling revenue of the country. Therefore, it will take years and smart President to revamp the economy of the country.

MY OPINION!

You must be suffering from intellectual myopia

Am inferring my view right from your first point on your first post, then relating it with this post I just quoted.
Yes, you've met with him, interacted with him when you were 'processing your PhD admission' and that's sufficient to say he's not smart and can't pull through?? Do you mean You now carry about the yardstick or let me say you're a yardstick personified to measure someone's level of smartness?? Just through your interactions for an admission, he's not even your supervisor!! Am dissapointed.


Goodluck Jonathan has all the experience, what did we get?
And how did you know prof is not politically inclined? If he's not, he won't even near anything politics.
And when it comes to governance, managing the affairs of a particular place at a given time, is not solely the Main leader's job! So I believe with the Prof's wisdom and knowledge with the good people I believe he will surround himself with, he's going to pull through.

You are a ph.d holder and you came here to tell us a professor of law will be worse if he takes over. I don't think you know what you are saying. If Osinbanjo seems to be your uncle, will u be saying that rubbish?
It means your ph.d certificate u have is a waste if u conclude that Acting president, also a professor of law will be worse if he takes over.

My man, the thing tire me o. Does Donald Trump have any political experience that much? Everything is all about determination and Strong will.
He said he interacted with Prof, as if that's sufficient to measure someone's level of wisdom. Am just so disappointed.

Why not? It behooves on me to point out the THREATS first, that is how it is done in SWOT Analysis. I want a better Nigeria irrespective of who is in charge. There are several economic policies of Buhari that Osibanjo must relax for him to succeed. What we need now are expansionary fiscal Policies(Reduce taxes and increase government spending) in order to stimulate the economy and ultimately lead to a growth in the real sector of the economy. And taking cognizance of the state of the economy, Lopsided growth Model is the way to go. This and more will be discussed in details in my next thread. Insults and name-calling will not solve the problem.

On the contrary, I believe he will perform creditably.

1. 'Career politicians' are what has gotten us to this state. I am not sure that more of them is the solution. The only requirement we need in a president is the ability and sincerity to hire the right people for the right positions.

2. I do not see any evidence of his alleged 'puppetship'. This government has been the most self-willed yet. I don't see the VP as going back to the era of godfatherism.

3. The North did nothing to frustrate GEJ. His close associates caused all the harm, and they were mainly non-Northerners. He was lied to and deceived throughout his rule, trusting people almost always are.

4. The present state of the economy is a result of decades of bad planning. It is not going to go away in a few months. There are no magic wands in Aso rock. The important thing is for the government to maintain the status quo, making slight corrections here and there until the tidal wave passes... oil is already rallying, the ND boys are already cooling down, the Naira will soon rally, industries are gradually coming back from the edge. There are no hard and fast solutions, and no savings to fund those solutions anyway.

Osibanjo is the brain behind the current reformed criminal Justice system of Nigeria today, while he headed our economic team without success, he has no power to hire or fire any member of that team including the waste called Emefiele, as Attorney General of Lagos state, he single handedly led Lagos to victory in several legal battles against the FG, saying he isn't smart is puerile and an abuse of your freedom of speech.
It is only an unintelligent person will pass a judgement of opinion with little or no information.
On the other childish issues you raised, my advise to you is this; "Grow up" kids have no business with national discourse.

The BPE under Osibanjo recently queried Fashola's procurement strategies another Tinubu's boy by your unintelligent logic, like I said earlier, your opinion is not fit for national discourse, you may stick to cartoons if you must air it.

Politicians are all talks no action, Donald Trump has proved it, in one week, he has fulfilled 90% of his campaign promises, the only major one left is the US debt, every other that requires a presidential fiat is done and dusted (obama care, NPP, NAFTA, common core all dusted), meanwhile his predecessor Obama has not closed Gitmo after 8yrs. Anybody trusting his future on career politicians is as dumb as the OP!!




3. The North did nothing to frustrate GEJ. His close associates caused all the harm, and they were mainly non-Northerners. He was lied to and deceived throughout his rule, trusting people almost always are.


That misconception can only come from an unintelligent person like the OP, how did the north frustrate Jonathan? Boko haram arrived and so what? it was his job to deal with them decisively so what is the OP talking about? Did ISIS not arrive Iraq and Syria did their presidents complain of frustration? Did isis not attempt to enter Turkey before Erdogan showed them the difference between table salt and gunpowder? Jonathan was as unintelligent as the OP reason they reason alike, jonathan's NSA fell from a helicopter after telling Nigerians the truth about BH, he hired another that goes to the CBN to sign off arms funds for campaign purposes at his behest of course. Yet an unitelligent OP believes Jonathan doesn't know what he is doing.

By killing every Nigerian alive grin

Ok, I believe the best way to fight corruption is not by jailing people who were found in the act of corruption alone. This is important anyway.

HOWEVER;

- Government Institutions have to be strengthened. I do tell people that the main reason we have grand corruption in Nigeria is due to the fact that government Institutions are weak and corrupt. Government institutions in Nigeria are capable of ruining even an Angel. Remember the former Governor of Taraba State - Jolly Nyame, a Reverend Minister who wrecked the economy of the State.

- Increased wages of worker. Wages and Salaries should be reviewed upwards to meet up with current economic realities in the country (inflationary pressures). This will discourage stealing of public funds to an extent.

- By making Politics less attractive or reducing the cost of electioneering. This is a major factor that breeds corruption in Nigeria. Tell me how an average Politician can recoup his investment in politics with his / her salary alone, considering the high cost of electioneering campaign in Nigeria. Again, if salaries and other entitlements of Politicians are reduced, the high cost of running government institutions will be reduced.

- Reducing bureaucratic bottleneck. This breeds corruption, so the use of sophisticated technologies to reduce loss in Man-hour will be of great help.

- Providing basic amenities. This is the key factor. The economies of Asian Tigers such as Sao Tome & Principe, Singapore, Malaysia etc were built through entrepreneurship. This was made possible through conducive business environment such as availability of Power, good roads etc. When this is achieved, more jobs will be created leading to a reduction in "idle minds" in the society. Infact underdevelopment alone breeds corruption.

- Anybody found in the act of corruption especially stealing of public funds should be should jailed till he/she returns TWICE the amount that was stolen.

- The fight against corruption should not be selective, irrespective political Party affiliations. Thank you.
