How not to rule

by Eze Eluchie

Whilst one acknowledges the palpable ignorance of the young Journalist who penned the attached article, one is at a loss on how to describe the conduct of the Editorial Board of Guardian Newspapers who allowed this nonsensical piece to be published.

A technical arm of the Nigerian government makes a decision and by fiat, without as much as trying to understand why the decision was made, Goodluck Jonathan (under the instruction of some low level bureaucrat in Germany) orders a reversal of the Ministry of Aviation decision! The story that Goodluck Jonathan 'calmed the German leader' is trash talk.

At least we now know who to hold responsible for the rot in the Aviation sector - certainly not the Minister!

This is one of the consequences of having a countries entire rulership travelling abroad for all manners of medical treatment - Jonathan would not have dared upset his foreign hosts for fear that the wrong needle would be stuck up his veins, during his next medical trip, if he dared 'not deliver'.

I really do pity this Jonathan fellow who has to pretend to be ruling over a country, pose as a dignitary and walk down red carpets in foreign climes despite knowing deep down in his heart, that his foreign hosts are privately jeering at his stupidity and mocking his inability to rule, talk-less of lead.

Perhaps after-all we do really deserve this character as a befitting response to our docility!
