@coola: a few months back on the thread I think I can remember putting Gov. Muazu of Bauchi state up for it. I am very impresed with the policies that he has been able to put in place and REAL results are not in the pipeline but have already been seen. At the same time he has not been building mansions in the sky. He is very down to earth. My gov (SAS) started his own reign by not living in the Government House but renting a house using govt coffers for N150,000,000 a year!!! and guess who owns the house? Its his own house!!!!!! Only in naija can that happen and EFCC will come and go, giving the state a clean bill of health!!!! you never answer my SETI question!!!!

Among the northern Govs Muazu tops my list as the BEST... followed my Makarfi. I saw Markafi's advertorial on his Democratic Dividends in the papers last week.... boy... I wonder how Dariye -my yeye Gov- will feel when he sees it.
May Muazu win....
But.... what can one "holy" Prez do if he is surrounded by crooks and sharks in the National Assembly? I think we need a re-think about what constitutes a good Prez.
@Abu... SETI? My Opera Transfer window is choked with many downloads... I hope BOINC or whatever won't reduce my speed. I will register and let u know.

@areaf: we will soon demote you to AREACOUSIN!!!! why are you so abscent? getting on the thread and dropping a short msg shouldnt cost more than N20. so it must be a time issue. I cant be left as the only trouble maker here!!!
@coola: Better!! at least i got 2 people from PNF on SETI!!! Maikarfi hasnt been bad, per say, but i havent seen any real developements in KD in his term. Dont get me wrong. Maintaining status quo in Naija is a feat of its own!!! If the roads in Maiduguri were as good as it was during Marwa's stint here I would been a happier motorist. As the old joke goes, the roads are so bad, its only the drunk that drive straight while the sober swerve!!!! talking about Marwa, what are his chances? I would have liked him but Im tired of old soldiers!!!!

Like I wrote in my last post.... it takes more than ONE holy man to run a successful Government. The problem with the ex-soja's is that they tend to ignore the other democratic institutions when it suits them.
Then they think in terms of command-and-conquer instead of dialogue-and-compromise.
Marwa may have done well as a military adminstrator but...if he has crooks as advisers and sharks in the senate.... he won't do much.
Why can't ppl like Pat/Marwa do what Adam Oshiomole is doing: go for Governor first?
Next: Buhari.. what do u think of the man?

I would've been surprised if Mrs. Iweala hadn't resigned, it would've proved she didn't have intergrity. Whatever transpired, one day we will know, but for now we can only speculate as to the cause of her resignation.
On the Pat Utomi presidency bid, I agree with the person who posited that Pat has the wherewithal to make a good president, but lacks the "evil genius" it takes to navigate the murky waters of Nigerian politics. |

@coola: I always thot that Mrs Okonjo-Iweala's arrival in OBJ's administration was going to stain her. I was surprised she stayed as long as she did. I suspect they were ble to keep the smell of cooked books away from her all this while but as she knew things were rounding up she did a once over on things and got the shock of her life. Any how, she was brought for eye-candy. I dont think she ever really had any space to move things. And this cabinet reshuffle was a joke.

@coola: Cooking books= fraud, once over = she looked at the accounts, ie before she handed over
