Soyinka my niggy

I tink 'Fashola' shud be added to oxford dictionary..dat definition suits him well...

lawflec:
How, O! Africans.. How o! Nigerians. Do we celebrate mediocre. I did not get the opportunity to watch the screening live but when i saw the applauds on nairaland concerning how Fashola finished them, i quickly downloaded it on youtube. And to be sincere, i was not impressed not with fashola but with the senators. A house where the make up are half baked. Hw on earth would u explain the fact that Sekibo struggles with English, in a commotion house, Sam Egwu was busy "considering facts'. Of course Fashola being a smart man wittingly answered them in a way their could not understand. To be sincere, Fashola merely finished unlearned law makers and that does not make him a good administrator but a mechanic. Who fixes car based on the understanding of the owner.

oduastates:
my score for Fashola is 30 %, which is better than the -100% I score the other foolz.
In other words,most of the others are not fit to manage a small poultry, and they should be nowhere near government.

Why 30%?
I spared Fashola and tinubu of any criticism when the diabolical and evil Jonathan regime was around, but this was not because without fault.
We are so used to mediocrity that an outlier is always celebrated.
We cannot even build our damn roads.( Note that the streets of Ife were paved more than 600 years ago)
For example, after 16 years In government, the SW governors have not deemed it necessary to educate enough citizens to do most of the technical work which are given to foreigners.
They are incapable of looking beyond their immediate political and family circle. And to these people,they give minor the work on which they deliver substandard work.
You want to build bridges, call the Germans in Julius Berger.

You want build roads, call some uneducated Syrians, a Lebanese plumber or a company called RCC.
As " better than the rest " as Fashola is, he is still far from the mentality of the leaders who developed south Korea and Singapore.
One thing for sure, their leaders did not spare the change on primary, secondary, tertiary and civic education.
Technical education was also so important that south Korea at a point sent 20,000 nurses to Germany because they had trained so many.
Also, every spare change and borrowing was spent on industrial infrastructure like Steel, power,machine tools, chemical plant, water, agriculture etc.
What about the arrogance of nationalism? They made sure that whereever possible, they built their stuffs themselves thereby learning from mistake.
If Fashola and tinubu cannot find competent enough and young omoluabis to do most of the jobs they contract out to foreigners, then they are what they are;
Persons in positions of leadership for the times.
