Desecration of her
Patrimony 'UNILAG'.
.
.
On the 29th May, 2012 I
wondered 'are we really
practising democracy or
authocracy'? One lesson
Nigerians should learn from
this irresponsible immediate
-effect order or dictation
from the "Democratic"
President Jonathan is this:
The number of Public
Offices previously held by
an individual has very little
or nothing to do with his or
her subsequent or future
performance in any other
Public Office!
President Jonathan is said
to have been a University
Lecturer (Professor) after
what universally is
understood to be a grilling
Academic Training and
Maturity -The PhD Degree.
He is also said to have
subsequently directed a
Public office - at one of the
Nation's Parastatals before
he rose to become a
Deputy Governor of a
State. Same Jonathan
eventually became a full-
fledged Executive
Governor of his Home
State. Thereafter, Jonathan
became the Vice President
of Nigeria, and eventually
catapulted to the position
of the President; both
offices of which he has
occupied for a combined
total of 5 years.
From the foregoing,
therefore, any reasonable
person would have
thought, or be conditioned
to believe, that such
Curriculum Vitae would
easily convey a character
or toga of an
Administrative Wizard.
But, that completely
appears not to be the
case; at least, with the
person of President
Jonathan; as observed
time after time.
If Jonathan had enlisted in
the Military for one day,
one may probably suspect
that his DICTATORIAL
tendencies stemmed from a
Military Training
Background. But that is far
from being the case.
The only personality that
would be put through the
experience of President
Jonathan's Curriculum Vitae
but only to exude
disturbing signs of
administrative inexperience
or naivety, with perpetuity,
is the Unintelligent or A
Dummy.
This is why it makes sense
to question the
circumstance of Jonathan's
PhD Degree. Fake or Quota
System?
Because, what we have
continued to see in the
man, Jonathan, is far from
the minimum expected of
even a BSc or BA holder
(barring an Honorary
Award).
We should resist the
apology of heaping the
blame for every exhibited
naivety on his Advisers.
Advisers or No Advisers, a
President parading a
genuine University PhD
Degree should be intelligent
enough to See and Reject
any Bad Advice.
Having stated the obvious,
let's give room for doubt
on the above; and assume
President Jonathan IS
CERTAINLY WITH IT.
Then, on such an
assumption, only an
intelligent individual going
for the jugular, in terms of
punitive or retaliatory
vengeance, would secretly
decide to change the name
of a leading international
University on the eve of its
Golden Jubilee; especially
following the immediate
horrendous trauma of the
Institution's Chief
Executive's Coffin still lying
in State.
This picture or scenario
would, in any democracy,
lend itself to a subsequent
Investigative Journalism;
even if only to dig out the
facts and figures by
locating the chapters and
verses.
This becomes imperative
as President Jonathan
personally followed-up the
Dictatorial, Swift and
seemingly Bizarre Name-
Change with a
pronouncement of its
IRREVOCABILITY.
One begins to wonder:
First, amongst others (no
matter how mundane
anybody may think this
type of question is):
Did UNILAG (Lagos
University), at any stage,
Reject Goodluck Jonathan
as a Candidate for
Admission, whether once or
severally?
Perhaps, still smarting from
the everlasting
disappointment from a name
he had, possibly, longed to
be associated with right
from a formative stage of
Academic Interests and
Prestige; then, the
anniversary of his first
term
in office as an Elected
Executive President
throwing-up a golden
opportunity for the
revenge; albeit capitalizing
on a seemingly genuine but
pretextual immortalization
of MKO Abiola.
Such an Investigative
Journalism should start
from here!
