Naijiant:
Amaechi is working wickedly on his Wike portfolio.

Fashola is working fashionably on his noisemaking portfolio.

Kachikwu is working crazily on his video-making portfolio.

Adeosun is working admirably on her elementary maths portfolio.

Ngige is working gregariously on his Okija shrine portfolio.

Comical Lai Mohammed is largely lying on his propaganda portfolio.

Buhari the minister for petroleum is working busily on his waka-waka portfolio.

ITSaWRAPPP:
NONE then I remember Minister of State for Petroleum (Kalichukwu).

Fashola has suddenly become a ghostworker

Listen, a government is either capable or not; there is no
middle ground. Nigeria is not going through anything it
hasn't gone through before. The only difference is that
when we went through this before, we had capable
hands.
.
In 1998 when General Abacha died and General
Abdulsalam took over. Abacha had stolen so much from
national coffers that till date, we still don't know how
much. But we know nobody has successfully broken his
record. Still, when General Abdulsalam took over, he was
able to increase the salary of the public service by as
much as 300%, form INEC and fund them, keep the price
of things from skyrocketting and reduce inflation rate
from 29% to 9.5%.
.
In that same 1998, oil price had dropped from $17 to $13
in the international market. Still, it didn't stop the
government from performing and from fulfilling its
promises to its people. General Abdulsalam was in
power from June 1998 to May 1999, but he was able to
fulfil his promises and set the stage for a new and
economically-stable democratic society.
.
Fastforward to 2015, there has been cases of massive
looting under the Jonathan administration. Just like
1998, there has been a drop in oil prices. Instead of the
government sitting up and solving the problems, it goes
on a blaming mission and spends a whole year blaming
the last administration. Oil price dropped from $148 to
$38 per barrel under Yaradua. We never suffered like this
then.
.
The fact that some graduates of Economics continue to
defend the failure of this government by blaming the
past administration, massive theft and drop in oil prices
is an indictment of the Nigerian educational system. The
fact that some 'public intellectuals' continue to use big
grammar to justify the failure of this administration to
live up to its hype is proof that having a mastery of the
Queen's language is no guarantee that you will make
sense with it. That some 'public commentators' continue
to preach the gospel of 'we must endure before we
enjoy' and 'I didn't vote a magician' only shows that
having a browsing device, internet connection and
knowing how to attract Facebook 'likes' and Twitter
'retweets' are not the same things as having common
sense.
.
No nation is met perfect. No leader is without
challenges. No leader agrees with all the policies of his
predecessor. How the leader acts is what stands him
out. You cannot turn a nation upside down and expect
praises. Praise and respect are not given; they are
earned. Those who continue to dole out cheap praises
and 'stand with' an unperforming government only tell
us how cheap they are and how low their expectations
are.
.
The Buhari administration is an incompetent one. Until it
proves otherwise, we continue to see it as that. And you
suffering mortal that joins them to chant 'Sai Buhari'
amidst economic hardship and national confusion, may
you not die foolish.

Kyase:

Doesn't mean they aren't working either and again I have no issues with light and fuel down here.

jpphilips:



1) 23% loss in oil price in 1998 can not be compared with an 80% loss in 2016
2) The size of the economy determines the pressure on Foreign reserve during balance of trade, I didn't see that in your analysis.
3) Population from 1998 to 2016 is a geometric progression, that was not accounted for in your analysis.

Over all, less than average, very poor analysis.

draftmaster:
Good day my fellow niaralanders. I raised this question because apart from minister of state for petroleum, Kachiukwu ( if at all he is even working actively) I haven't heard of any minister who's active in his/her various portfolios including the minister of petroleum which we all know who he is. I might be wrong though, but I need those who thinks they are working to tell me who's currently working and what has the minister implemented. The is why it took the President a very long time to Name his ministers cos he knew from the onset that they won't do anything.
Minister of labour and employment, James Ocholi (RIP) who is late hasn't been replaced yet. Does that mean his portfolio wasn't a sensitive one that needs immediate replacement? May God help us in this country.
Meanwhile I need some answers.
Thank you
