Well..In as much as I want to say quite a lot, I will try to make it short as possible as I can. I watched the presidential flag off yesterday and saw the president spoke. I must say from the few lines I can remember, they were very poor and lacked articulation from a president on campaign as I still did not see that campaign emphasis like this is what we have done, this is where we are and this is where we are going in his speech, it is not about attacking the opposing political party, well maybe some of our politicians are either not educated enough or they just lack how-to-campaign-education. In his words "I know Nigeria does not belong to old men like us, because I know we have failed already". What the president is trying to let us know is that he has spent 6years in office and he has failed us, so giving him another 4years MAY BE an opportunity to make it right. The question is, why will I give an opportunity to a self proclaimed failure who has perceived himself as a failure to rule me for another 4years, definitely if after 4years, the situation is still status quo or gone worse, I should not ask him why and can't hold him responsible if he fails because from the on-set he said he was a failure and didn't give any clue or hope of how to even succeed or improve on the present situation. "I apologise to the workers who were not paid december salaries, what happened is that some govt ministries' officials tried to act corrupt by adding up some funds to the regular salaries but in the process due to how scientific the IP system(which automatically pays salaries) works, it brought up a red light and shut down, so now we are deviating to another new system in order to avoid these corrupt people so they will not steal your money". Now he gave credit to himself because deep down he felt like he had curbed that corrupt practice from that end. In my own take, I think its obvious our president runs away from tackling and facing some problems squarely, if the system had made this attempt, why not trace these govt officials, investigate the incidence and actions, and bring some culprits to book, that sends a strong msg to the whole country that you are fighting corruption. In an ideal situation and country, its very simple, if you are corrupt and caught, you will go to jail, automatically your subordinates will not make such attempt in future..it will send a strong message to the whole nation and that oga no take nonsense..and to a large extent pple would have a self consciousness in their minds that if I steal na jail, trust me it will go a long way in changing peoples' minds. That's just the few two points I would like to discuss, there are still some I remember vividly but I do not want to bore the readers, let's say thats it for now. From my analysis of the speech again, it was quite unlike GEJ, he spoke out of anger, out of reaction and out of emotion and I think a little desperation in his countenance, it may not be enough to just read manuscripts online, because some times a writer has a perception, so I can advise that before giving an analysis or passing judgment or nailing Buhari or Jonathan, kindly go online and watch the video, it is just about 30mins - 40mins, carefully observe and pass your comments. I hope we will choose our leaders rightly by not being sentimental, its not by age, or by ethnicity, or by education level if I may say..it is by having a well articulated ideas/solutions and clearly cut out vision. I hope we can get it right his time around. God bless! 4 Likes |

GEJ on the other hand talks without thinking okay for instance OCT 1st bombing....GEJ immediately gave a speech saying its not MEND, that they are his brothers.... JAn 8....GEJ is now saying MEND tried to kill him GEJ told the whole world that stealing is not corruption....

philips70: There were so many flaws in his flag off speech yesterday, if time would permit me I could start listing and anaylzing them one after the other, but my aim is not even to insult the president or his supporters, my intention is just for everyone to put on their thinking caps and reason, leave out sentiments and whatever attachment we have with GEJ and just think if its worth continuing with the present administration..for example in the agricultural sector, he has done very well and some other areas too, bur the basic one we can't afford for it to be left behind which is the safety of human lives and properties, that's the first and primary duty of any reasonable govt, so its obvious that the cons do outweighs the pros..let's purge out the fear of how would Buhari do? We can't be very sure until he occupies office..so I feel that's enough justification to do the right thing. 1 Like |
