The sound of the underlying current of confusion and cat fights in Abuja is beginning to be felt on the surface.
You see, It's never wise to have too many powerful people in close proximity to each other.
This fundamental fact when it comes to the human race is just beginning to dawn upon President Goodluck Jonathan.
On one hand he has a Minister of Finance working to get things sorted out in order to add an extra point on her CV so as to bolster her chances for her next job whatever it may be, on the other hand we have a Minister of Petroleum who can't count in Naira and who seems to be at a loss with regards to the workings of the Ministry she heads. Coupled with this, we have a Minister of Aviation whose sole experience about an aircraft is how to fuel it.
Point is Mr. President keeps nullifying each positive step he takes by making an ultimate blunder in another appointment which takes us one tidy step back into limbo.
You do not hire one Minister to tidy up your books and then hire another Minister whose sole livelihood depends on your books remaining untidy.
1) ex-oil Magnate and current Minister of Aviation Princess Stella Oduah-Ogiemwonyi who strangely enough has not been mentioned in the infamous Fuel Subsidy Saga.
Minister of Aviation...or should I say Minister of Aso-Rock Air-force. |
2) Minister of petroleum who always appears constantly confused and out of her depth Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke. Our dear minister always seems to have severe difficulty in simple arithmetic especially when it comes to adding things up in Naira. maybe we should adopt the Dollar.
Minister of Petroleum. .... constant perplexity. |
3) Minister of Finance Professor Ngozi Okonj-Iweala.. Economic Power house who was as quick to abandon Nigeria as she was quick to abandon the world bank. So we all know it wasn't Patriotism that brought her down here. A fact which has somewhat diminished her clout. All the same, she still does wield quite a punch.
Minister of Finance. constantly being stifled by corrupt heavy weights |
4) Last but not least in anyway, we have our Minister of Waka About. Dame Goodluck Jonathan. who seems to have got the gist of super-model to caring mother and supporter of women virtues the wrong way round. So we find ourselves stuck with a first lady aspiring to be a super model. Who even has her own dictionary of Queens English or should I say Dames' English.

Abuja is slowly grinding to a halt, under policies and appointments such as these. At its helm we have a man desperately trying to unclog it's motor which is being choked by persistent corruption.
God Save our Souls.
