NIGERIA...where are we going?

The quality of the Yar adua government can be scored from the type of individuals that have been appointed into sensitive and lucrative(government is not for spreading poverty....Remember?) positions since the advent of this administration. Qualifications, geographical spread,competence have been sacrificed for nepotism and cronism. People that should otherwise have been in jail or that would not have qualified for local government jobs are now heading strategic national institutions. What can we make of this?

This government would be remembered as the most biased, parochial and inept administration in the history of this country. In just two years most of the gains of the previous years have been reversed.For what? Seven points agenda. Of failure, favoritism,sychopancy and a high level of technical illiteracy on the basic diamensions of governance itself.

When would we get it right?
