Democracy is government of the people, by the people and for the people.

The Electorates should be allowed to decide who they elect irrespective of his paper qualifications.

I don't know this obsession in Nigeria with paper qualifications. Does it mean the children of the poor will perpetually be ruled by the rich and elites?

Let's say no to this bastardisation of democracy and no to elitism.

Crazy people, they did not discuss tuition fees, they did not discuss minimum wage, they don't remember this will increase corruption because people have to train their children and live a good life no matter how small.

This old men should not have been allowed to discuss a future they may never be part of

Am begining to agree with those who said the confab is a waste of time and money. Disenfrancising people based on Paper qualifications. Is very laughable, Very soon you won't be able to vote without HND. If people without university education can not be voted for what qualifies them to vote for people with Bsc. i

Haaaaa....there is no messiah in this country....a country with nepotic traits inbedded in almost all its citizen is not a safe country anymore.

A country where foreign religion from asian (two of them) has caused more death than we could ever imagine is no longer safe.

A country of man know man without this you will keep remaining in the same position that you are is no longer a safe country.

Even in places of worship, if you are not from some tribes you will be ignored. It is really not a safe country.


Where can we get the messiah to save us? We the nepotic, tribalistic people allow someone from a lowly tribe save them? Can the three popular tribes allow someone among the minorities lead them forward?

Even among the minorities there is a great deal of discrimination.

Oh God why!

Since Education seems to be the order of the day in this dungeon called Nigeria, then I think it won't be wrong that all those in power should also possess such qualifications as job seekers... Its a 2 way thing.
No Presidency for you if you ain't 1st class material tongue



On a lighter note, what this county needs is a Philosopher who thinks outside of the box with enormous wisdom......

Ngwakwe : your assertion is completely poor and baseless !

If you look @ the political problem of this country through history , U would discovered that it was when uneducated people assumed the mantle of leadership that Nigeria turned Upside down where we now have thugs manning all our government houses in background !


I usually say this :

Whomsoever that is managing any position of authority of the Three tiers of government i.e President , Governor and LG Should posess nothing less than Masters in his chosen field as well as MBA which will equip you with administrative and managerial skills also Proven 10years Management experience at nothing less than Strategic Level management is compulsory
Infact school of strategic studies in Kuru, Jos should also be made compulsory !


Imagine , GEJ is the first Ph.D holder to rule Nigeria since independent while Yar'adua is the first B.sc holder since same ....


Don't tell me about ZIK and Shonekan oo , they were just there as figureHead !


Imagine , the CEO of all Nigerian Banks is always more qualified than a Local Government Chairman whose allocation run into hundreds of Millions everymonth talkless of President and Governor then how do you want a Poly Graduate to manage 500million monthly .....

Which organisation will entrust a B.sc holder without proven experience with such vote just because he was voted by his people ?


Between Nigeria and UBA whose CEO deserved better qualification ? grin

Infact Dangote's company is managed by adequately qualified managers , is Dangote's turnover beyond Nigeria's ?


Abeg , the only problem with this country is that :

It is not being managed by capable hands and the brains of the leaders is always anti-clockwise cuz we know where they were all selected from to be elected !

It is not by book but what you have passed through as an experienced manager who has the IQ to rule Multi-Ethnic nation like ours


God help us all when we help ourselves !

That's what the society has made people assume.The society we live in has practically relegated them.

Take into consideration university & poly graduates applying for a job.
Within the university graduates,there's a struggle by those who made 1st class & those with a 2nd before they take poly graduates into consideration.

And for all i know,there would definitely be poly graduates with more knowledge & wisdom than some uni grads.
