It is shocking that some of us still think that you cannot be useful to your country unless you have served in some "Bretton Woods financial institutions or UN Development Agencies". Fela must be turning in his grave!
Some even argue that SLS has no experience. Obama has experience running a country abi? Sometimes all that is required is a sincerity of purpose and a good head. All the seventy-year-old running our government today are dying under the weight of experience. Look at our good friend Rilwan Lukman- He has experienced two lives as some more and yet look where the petroleum industry is today.
When I read Pius's article (
http://www.nigeriavillagesquare.com/...ness-nige.html), I was certain that many of us will be deeply touched, that we will recognize a part of us that frequently falls prey to 'gutterlect' and we will commence the difficult task of seeing our country men differently, positively. With a hundred and seventy eight miserable hits, I see that people just don't care. As far as some people are concerned, Lamido is and will not amount to anything more than a "hausa-fulani" and a sharia advocate. Ofcourse hausa-fulani is as much a tribe or an ethnic group as is yoruba-bini or Ijaw-Ishekiri and sharia is not about oppressing women but these people don't know, don't care.
