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!

Sanusi: Central unBanker of the Millennium

by Eze Eluchie

Once again the Central Banker of the Millennium and the Dan Majen Kano is in the news for all the wrong reasons.

Sanusi's latest call for the sack of 50% of Federal Civil servants, more than anything else demonstrates his level of mental depravity and social disconnect.

In saner climes, a Central Bank Governor whose naughty 'advices' are routinely not taken by the government he is serving would have thrown in the towel, but not here.

The nagging question as always is: 'how did we get to this level of depravity where a man in the mold of a Sanusi can become the Governor of the central Bank?

The President is afraid

by Eze Eluchie

It appears that the only and real reason why Nigeria’s Goodluck Jonathan is building a N2.2Billion (U.S.$13.75million) Reception Hall within the premises of the Presidential Villa is that our very brave and incredibly strong ruler (not Leader) is so scared of the Boko Haram guys that he is afraid to even step out of the cozy and fortified villa to host or receive official visitors!

Not done with cancelling public commemorations of the National Day and shifting the event to the presidential villa, I believe the next project to be approved by the rubber stamp Federal Executive Council would be for a new Presidential Airport within the villa. At least the Presidential Pastor, Ayo Oritsejafor, will be able to fly his newly acquired jet direct to Aso Rock to pray for good old Jonathan from time to time.

Jonathan is forgetting that he had earlier told the world that he had members of the Boko Haram terror group amongst his cabinet members and in his inner circle, and that you can only have peace and security when there is justice!.
