Re: President GoodLuck Jonathan vs Peoples Democratic Party

Dear Guest,

Your comments are very well appreciated, welcome to our world!

The purpose of this blog is principally to make objectively analysis of socio-political situations, issues and circumstances affecting our dear country and make attempts at providing/ suggesting practical solutions that would aim at improving our conditions, which you must agree with me, is sordid at the moment.

There is time for everything under the sun; a time to sow and a time to reap, a time to laugh and a time to cry, a time to be slow and a time to move fast, etc, etc. In my humble opinion, our national psyche requires very urgent need for a makeover.

Our problems have been serially dissected; poor educational and physical infrastructure, abysmal power generation, unemployment and underemployment, an over bloated public service, the Almighty corruption, etc, etc.

My believe is that a government which is focused on resolving issues such as these in order to take its people out of the doldrums would at least have a blueprint or an action plan which would outline the strategy and interventions required to meet expected outcomes. Beyond the interventions, a nation needs to have or develop a philosophy, an ideology which would be embodied by her President, by her leaders and from whence it will diffuse down to the "lowest" rungs of the society.

From all indications, The President Goodluck Jonathan led Federal Government, which has every reason to hit the ground running, seem to be more interested in chasing shadows and has not shown the tenacity of wit and purpose requisite to tackling the mortal problems bedevilling Nigeria.

We could have been more patient if the world was not leaving us behind; if sister nations which we were hitherto classified together as third world nations have not put their acts together and has joined or are in the process of joining the league of developing /developed nations.

A call for patience, like you have made would have been very welcome if there is any evidence that this leadership have got its priorities right and are on track to lead the nation to anywhere at all except deeper into the morass.

A leadership that wants to bequeath a legacy of profligacy in the midst of abject poverty, a leadership that is preoccupied with elongating its life span even before it commences, a government that has been rendered impotent by huge budget deficits and recurrent expenditure, a nation that has been held hostage by a group of brigands who shed the blood of innocent citizens continually, remorselessly on a daily basis is in mortal danger.

I urge all well meaning Nigerians, including you to lose your patience a little bit so we could build up the critical mass required to nudge out government to action; positive, proactive action.

We will all be the better for it.
