Good write up except the one on the north never forgave Jonathan. I count that as misrepresentation of facts.

Chizgold:
This imperialism is a throwback to the monarchical nature of primeval societies. It is sustained sadly by contemporary myths, the thinking that the President is a mythical repository, a superhero- the man who has all the answers and who can do all things.
Call it Imperial Democracy. A govt of itself, by the people and for itself.


Chizgold:
displaces the people from being partners into consumers of government propaganda and tyranny.
Nigerians are all too comfortable with this kind of govt. We believe too much in our elected representatives. We take it as a given that our fate lies in their hands; in whatever decision they make of their own volition. We don't believe we have to force them do what we want.


Chizgold:
By regarding their Presidents or Heads of states as super-heroes, Nigerians place them above democracy and short-change themselves. This has been our dilemma since 1960

Too much of tv. I have always lamented this mentality of "good" president or governor. our mumu don do oooo

Babachir David Lawal voice.who is presidency lol
Re: Who Is The Presidency? –Reuben Abati by theophorus(m): 9:07am On Apr 25, 2017
Anyone without ill-motives would have notice Babachir innocent reply.

He had to ask His orderly to be sure he is hearing right and immediately the orderly confirm it, He just move on straight to His vehicle.


However, I agree with Abati, "power intoxicate so be careful when you get it"

He was never even competent enough to handle that post! Look at even how otondoish he looks in that snap shot! Unfit, old, very poor orator, dull, always looking as if he is scared, dodging the press! This chap only got the job because of nepotism and not because of any sort of outstanding background he has in dealing with government administration! He has always been a northern coordinator (run around mallam) for most of buharis campaigns so this was a "reward job"!


But at what expense should we keep doing this? With all the young pros in the system waiting for a chance! What the hell is an electrical engineer doing with such a complex post? Buhari needs to wake the _fuck up!

Bros,

Some lessons for you - There is a clear difference between "Leadership Competence" and "Profession Competence". Some people go through both, starting with the later; while some never attain leadership competence. That he's an engineer does not preclude him from leadership.

Meanwhile, I think you should find out information before making suppositions that are wrong and unfair. First off, Babachir deserves to be fired, BUT you cannot rubbish his ascendancy on some wrongly famed northern oligarchy. Besides Babachir is a Christian, an ECWA theologian and not a mallam as you suppose

Let us learn to deal with facts and lay off sentiments, especially when those sentiments are actually clear case of ignorance

Who called him a christian! I said run around mallam...it is a code in northern politics! It is like a christian who acts like a muslim and intercede with christian political groups on behalf of a muslim politician! In the north mallam is used for everyone as a snide comment sometimes! And yes his post was based on nepotism and not any competence!


Or is it due to his competence that he is now without a job? He went their only concerned about enjoying the perks of his position and not about how to direct his friends govt. In the right direction! If you can't get that na you sabi! I worked with inec for 8 years conducting elections across all zones of naija before I left to enter the game myself! Don't try to talk to me about knowing politicians

This is a masterpiece that can also be called synopsis of Nigeria presidency! It's an eye opener to all office holders that power is indeed transient. As for Babachir it's what Yoruba adage says ila ki I gun ju olure( you can't wields power than your boss)

whatever we call it is ok. but until we start making demands on our elected representatives and let go of this idea of 'a savior' we won't make any progress.

In fact, I won't try to talk to you about knowing politicians, neither will I bother to get you to put things in intelligible perspectives. I am not sure where the borderline is with all you laid up here that makes no valuable bearing to the discurse......but that said

Cheers!
