There is no rule that ministers should be technocrats and no evidence WHATSOEVER from anywhere that technocrats perform better than politicians.What should happen which does not happen is that we should have a professional and depoliticized civil service with so called technocrats. Being Minister of aviation does not require technical knowledge but intelligence and administrative experience
The current US Transport secretary who also covers aviation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Foxx

has no "transport" background. Ministers are political appointees and that means what they bring to the table is a political understanding of the yearnings of the people.Their job is to manage technocrats.
What does Dangote know about cement? Why have the cement technocrats not set up a cement company all these years?

Liam Fox was UK secretary for defence and his professional background was medical. We need to strengthen our ministries and make them more professional but that means protecting civil servants from indiscriminate sacking or victimization. That way he pilot flies the plane and the passenger sets the destination.
If government is being run that way then most ministers should be able to manage most ministries

What's the jumping up and down on this thread about? if govs don't present him a list someone will present him a list. What's important to me is the money issues, for months we have been overwhelmed with states accusing Goodluck of withholding their monthly allocations. This was a major campaign issue. APC almajiris on this forum have repeated that charge over and over again, hopefully those of you waiting for Buhari to supply your state will money from your father's treasury can read the hand writing on the wall.

Jonathan never withheld your state monies and Buhari will not add one kobo to your allocation, so your suffering continues.

Rexyl:


I think this is reasonable but it is a pity the way many are being deceived to sheepishly follow politicians in their States and believe all lies they have said against Jonathan. Many State governors including my own State have the guts to say all their faults or failures are tied around President Jonathan neck. This kind of lies has been going on fo some times but unfortunately many can't reason very well again to challenge authenticity of news or stories emanating from State's corridor of power.

Now that Buhari has fired the shot, let's see how people will responde to reckless handling of State affairs. Many States are of the opinion that it is only when Buhari takes over that lives of their people will improve. I SEE THAT AS THE BIGGEST SHAME OF THE CENTURY FOR THOSE STATES.

U av a point, buh. Trust me, in a developing nation with a very fragile institutions, we nid technocrats to oversee awa ministries... In a developed world, dia r very strong institutions and mind u, the fact dat dey dia ministers don't av a certificate is such fields doesn't make dem a novice... Imagine a secondary school cert holder bin d health minister, aw do u tink d ministry'll fare
Mind u, dangote is not a minister, he has a lot of professionals(technocrats) working for him... D beta way to put is , Dangote shud hire a novice to oversee the quality control unit of his cement factory den u wud see aw d how tin will play out...once d minister is docile, d ministry is doomed(no strong institutions yet)

They think GMB is Ebele Wereype or Orji Uzo Kalu.

Baba tell them; 1 Fulani General is equivalent to 9 Yoruba Generals + 360 Igbo Generals + 720 Ijaw Generals

It seems God had answerd the Catholic special prayer. Below

' PRAYER FOR NIGERIA'

All powerful and merciful father,
You are the God of justice, love and peace.
You rule over all the Nations of the Earth.
Power and might are in your hands. And no one can withstand you.
We present our country Nigeria before you.
We praise and thank you for you are the source of all we have and are.
We sorry for the sins we have committed and for the good deeds we have failed to do.
In your loving forgiveness, keep us safe from the punishment we deserve.
Lord we are weighed down. Not only by uncertainties, but also by moral, economic and political problems.
Listen to the cries of your people who confidently turn to you.
God of infinite goodness, our Strength in adversity, our Health in weakness, Our comfort in sorrow, be merciful to us your people.
Spare this nation Nigeria from chaos, anarchy and doom.
Bless us with your kingdom of justice, love and peace.
We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

If Buhari continues this way, then people like me will believe in the so called change 'cos there can't be a change in polity with +hieves like Tinubu and co.

By the way, where's Mr. Lair M.
