The word 'Clueless' sprang up from the pit of hell immediately after the April elections. Those that did not like the emergence of GEJ as President invented it and in a space of three months, the propaganda has spread like wild fire; kudos to them. As far as my memory could take me, 'Clueless' was not commonly used to describe the president before the elections; many Nigerians have suddenly lost their sense of objectivity because of their selfish interests-it's really unfortunate. I remember, even before swearing-in, people were already rating GEJ in every aspects as if he would transform the hitherto destroyed country in a twinkling of an eye. This is synonymous with a lecturer scoring the students at the beginning of the semester; why don't we rate him after two years at least.
Nigeria has been systematically damaged by ALL former rulers and expecting GEJ to fix all 51-year old Nigerian problems in a space of three months is rather unfair. Some people here have never been in the least leadership position (Course reps, nuclear family, students union, town association etc) and all they do is condemn. Some people on this forum studied engineering (albeit, not all are practising) and they also join the 'masses' to expect a 'miracle' in the power sector within three months. For those that care to listen, transforming the power sector will not be spontaneous; I mean, it's not as easy as buying 'I-pass-my-neighbour' from Oshodi. A lot of engineering, re-engineering, construction and re-construction would be required and it takes years. A lot of the power generation and distribution equipment have been lying idle for years and restoring them to active life again can be more difficult than waking up a dead man. Besides, some of the original equipment manufacturers have either gone out of business or no longer manufacture such equipment, making it difficult to even think of repairing them; hence, a complete change-out is the way out. Now before you even think of procuring any equipment of such or even lower magnitude, you carry out the front-end engineering design at which stage you specify the equipment to the manufacturer. Again, like I said earlier, procuring power supply equipment is not as easy as buying 'I-pass-my-neighbour' from the market. Some of the equipment are not on the shelf for you to come and pick; you have specify what you want to the manufacturer to suit your purpose. After the front-end engineering stage, especially in the case of big power plants, we have the detailed engineering stage, before construction.
I've used the power sector as an illustration that Nigerian problems are deep and cannot be solved in three months as we expect. The greatest problem Nigeria has, which is the bane of our development, is corruption. As an illustration, the education sector is so bad that in secondary schools, teachers mandate students to pay exam malpractice fees as a sine qua non for writing an exam. So, hard work is no longer encouraged and the same children will grow up knowing that there's nothing wrong with cheating. Similar category of people are every where in government as politicians and public/civil servants.
My people, if there is any body that needs fast changes in Nigeria, I'm number 1; however such changes will not take place overnight especially in a decayed system like we have in Nigeria. I'm more positive than pessimistic though. Solving Nigeria's problem is everybody's responsibility and it starts from the mind. Revolution will probably be the escape route but who'll take the lead.
