The Broom Or Vacuum Cleaner,GEJ's Media Aide Reno Omokri Mocks APC And Buhari by amakachinwe3: 3:17am On Jan 29, 2015
The article below is written by outspoken President Jonathan's media aide, Reno Omokri.

Relax and read the article below.Drop your opinion after reading.

On Tuesday the 27th of January, in Lafia,Nasarawa state, President Jonathan said “we
are building a country for a digital generation”. Let us ponder on that for a second. That statement rings true, as I
cannot imagine any truly patriotic Nigerian that will want Nigeria to remain in an analogue state. That being said, what place does a broom have in a digital society? You will agree with me that brooms are more
suited for an analogue society.
Let me expatiate. One vacuum cleaner can do the work of one hundred brooms and can do it faster and more efficiently too. The APC and Muhammadu Buhari are representative of brooms.This is why Muhammadu Buhari keeps saying he will throw corrupt Nigerians into jail. Now, as a
means of fighting corruption, there is nothing wrong with throwing corrupt persons into jail,particularly if you follow due process. But will that tactic work in Nigeria today? Yes, to an extent it will work, just as a broom will work to an extent
in sweeping a dirty house.But supposing you try a new and better way?Supposing that instead of just concentrating your efforts at sweeping people one by one into prison,you use a vacuum cleaner to clean the house at a faster pace by employing technology that makes it difficult, nay impossible, to steal?Prior to the Goodluck Jonathan administration,there were fifty thousand ghost workers in the
Federal Civil Service. They drained the treasure of about 2 billion US dollars annually. President Jonathan could have used the broom on them by
unleashing the police and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, to investigate who and who were collecting these fifty thousand unearned salaries. It would have
taken many hours of investigation, evidence gathering, judicial process and lawyers to achieve that.Being the philosopher king that he is, President Jonathan chose instead to employ technology to
tackle the problem and using the software of the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System, IPPIS, this administration made it impossible for anybody who has not been physically captured in the IPPIS system, by way of
entering his/her finger prints and biometrics, to receive a salary. And voila! in one fell swoop, all
the fifty thousand ghost workers were excluded and the Federal Government was able to save
billions every year that would have gone on salaries.Also, it was common practice for civil servants to mop up unspent votes at the end of the year. The
only problem is that they mopped up these funds into their private accounts rather than back to the government treasury.But instead of going about with a big stick to bash in the head of offenders, the President simply approved a system that mandated that all
payments be made by e -payments rather than cash and any e-payment that does not come under the sub head of salaries will shut down the
system at the end of the year so that civil servants could not mop up funds as they were used to.
Take another instance. Prior to the rise of President Goodluck Jonathan to power, the fertilizer procurement and distribution system of the Federal Ministry of Agriculture was one of the biggest avenues for corruption. Contracts were awarded at hundreds of billions for products that either did not come or were substandard.Moreover, in the process of distributing the product, a lot of it was diverted and resold with the government not getting value for money and
farmers not being able to feed the nation.Enter the Jonathan administration and the e-wallet
system of fertilizer distribution, in which the Federal Ministry no longer used middle men contractors, but dealt directly with the manufacturers and the end users of the product,the farmers, and used a simple text message to connect end user with manufacturer. The manufacturers simply debited the cost of the subsidized fertilizer from the e-wallet funds the farmer had on his phone, saving tens of billions and increasing efficiency.These examples show that with a broom, you will work harder, but with a vacuum cleaner which
President Jonathan and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP represent, you will work smarter!
With a broom, you will deliver activity, but with a vacuum cleaner, you will deliver results!
It is this broom mentality that caused Major General Buhari to answer to the question “how do
you intend to manage the economy in the face of dwindling oil price”asked during his Channels TV interview as follows “first we will stabilize the oil market and run an accountable government”.
Do you control the price of oil? How do you want to stabilize the oil market if you do not control the price of the product and the global supply of the same? This is analogue thinking! This is broom mentality! That is the mentality that says that you
will concentrate on curing corruption instead of focusing on preventing it when even a nursery school pupil knows that ‘prevention is better than
cure’!And that is the choice before Nigerians. Are we going to go with a broom or with a vacuum cleaner? Are we going to go with an analogue leader or continue with a digital leader?
To make the choice easier for you, let me ask those who are able to remember how many
schools were built by General Muhammadu Buhari when he was military head of state. The answer is of course none! But you might say that he only
spent twenty months in office. But what if I told you that in his first twenty months in office
President Goodluck Jonathan built nine new Federal Universities in Ebonyi, Kogi, Nasarawa,Bayelsa, Gombe, Taraba, Katsina, Jigawa and
Ekiti?Let me ask you also to remember how many Youth Empowerment Programme the Buhari led government put in place to spur youth employment. The answer is of course none! But five months after he was sworn in as Nigeria’s President, President Jonathan launched the Youth With Innovation in Nigeria Initiative which is a unique business competition where Nigerian youths submit their business ideas to a consultancy chosen by government who then
selects the best proposals and then the government trains them in modern business skills and grants them between 2-10 million Naira.Remember that this is a grant, not a loan. They
do not have to pay back. Over four thousand youths have gone on to be selected and trained
and have started up businesses that are employing other youths.
So once again, I ask are we going to go with a broom or with a vacuum cleaner? Are we going to go with an analogue leader or continue with a digital leader?
Nothing exemplifies the fact that the world has passed the APC and its flag bearer by than the
use of a broom as their party’s emblem. Yes, it is a fitting analogy for the All Progressive Congress,APC and its Presidential Flag Bearer, Major
General Muhammadu Buhari (Rtd), but facts will bear me out that a broom cannot do the work of leadership that is expected in Nigeria today.Reno Omokri is Special Assistant to President
Jonathan on New Media.

Regards,
Reno.

Who cares?? as long as GEJ's corrupt goons end up in Kirikiri.

How has technology stopped GEJ's administration from being the most corrupt ever?? Did it stop $20 Billion Dollars from dissapearing?? Or has it stopped the kerosine and subsidy frauds
NNPC carries out?? Or the immigration scam?? Or Bode George from sitting on SURE-P money?? Or oil theft in Niger Delta?? Or Army service Chiefs from embezzling funds meant for tackling insurgency?? Or federal Govt from allocating half of the National revenue for itself??

Why use a Vaccum cleaner when there's no electricity to power it?? A broom works just fine, power or no power.

They're talking about a digital society when they haven't provide power.

Nonsense. undecided

Corrupt administration, still talking trash. An administration that doesn't recognise stealing as corruption. As u flushed out 50 thousand ghost workers, where is the billions of dollars recovered from this move? Does this stops the owing of workers salary? What then is the impact of this clueless technology on the common man? This government and its crew only succeeded in diverting the money from local thieves to the federal government thieves.

Your president and PDP failed to provide stable electricity. How are people going to power the equipment? By using umbrella? PDP always reason like pigs and ready to add difficulty to already severe social economic situation of Nigerians.

Reno Omokiri (Eran Omodindinrin), having spent so many years off the embezzlement from a corrupt government has lost contact with the poor situation on ground.

Lol @APC supporters blaming the lack of electricity, I guess that could be a bit acceptable.

However, who do the APC supporters blame, for their failure to differentiate between a literal statement and a figure of speech?

"To Sweep out Corruption" is seen as a figure of speech, yet, an APC governor and some supporters took that a bit too literally as evident in the pic below:



I wonder what place such actions above by a leader, have in the modern world and our modern democracy.
