New cabinet expected in Nigeria

The President of Nigeria, Olusegun Obasanjo, is expected to
name a new cabinet shortly after dissolving the old one on
Wednesday.

Government officials said a new list of ministers had already
been sent to parliament for approval.

The BBC Lagos correspondent says the reshuffle -- the third
since Mr Obasanjo came to office nineteen months ago -- has
been prompted by concerns that some ministers were under-
performing.

Our correspondent says President Obasanjo has previously
contented himself with cosmetic cabinet reshuffles, but this
time he's bound to face severe public criticism if the changes
are not more sweeping.

 "we say in Igbo language, 'Agbawo dike Izu, agbamgba
na abuo,' which means that when you set out and
proceed to marginalise those who should, or when you
do things without consulting those who should be
consulted, all it means is that you have to repeat the
exercise."  His Excellency, Gen Ojukwu, 23Jan2001.

I pray in the name of ALLAH that this man some of you call Uncle, will
come to his senses and bite the bullet.  You people that think 2 years
is not enough for dramatic change should go an read history of
nations.  When Empires of thousands of years where rubbished in 1 day.

One thing you cannot move me on, and I say this freely.  My mother is
Yoruba and my father Hausa so I claim his religion.  But I will call a
spade a spade in any tribe.  I don't favor any.

How can we progress when people that should be in jail, famous
kleptomaniacs are made ministers and advisers,  Is this not where we
can start the debate.  If you are a captain of a football team and they
tell you choose your players, then you go to the amputees ward to
collect one legged people and then go to the ward full of blind people
and collect them, then after you come out and say I dey kampe, we will
be a great soccer team we will win the world cup.  With these
players?    Kai!

Come to think of it, who is crazier in this scenario, the captain who
says this team will win the cup, or the people who rally around the
team in hope that this team will defeat strong trained sighted, two
legged gifted ball players on the field.  I think me myself, the
supporters and people who carry that teams flags and somehow convince
themselves that there is a chance of winning with a blind crippled
squad, I think these people are craziest of all.

nuff said.  Why oh why cannot this man say, from day one his first
cabinet, no looters, no abachists, no IBB cronies only men and women of
proven action with a track record of pure dynamism.  Which era I dont
care.  Which tribe I dont care.  We have them.  Thinkers and doers.
Why can't the likes of action men Katangora, Abubakar Ahmed, men like
Black Scorpion Adekunle, these people who are alive enter the scene to
do their dynamism to save us?  Will Uncle Sege wait like Nero fiddling
his thumb saying I am not worried until all Rome burns to the ground?

Food for thought.  You dreamers keep on dreaming.
