Extracted from my recent article on The Scoop:
".............. After President Buhari was sworn in on May 29th,
2015, he had embarked on a divine search for his cabinet members. The popular
expectation from the public was that he would appoint paragons into his
cabinet. As Mr. President is domestically-acclaimed an anti-corruption czar,
perhaps given his pedigree in public offices, the public expectation that his
cabinet members, appointed from his divine search, would be heavenly anointed
was not unconvincing. Unfortunately, some people’s expectations were marred when
the ministerial (nominee) list was released by the Presidency. From the public
vociferation, the four months (since his inauguration) it took Mr. President to
come up with the ministerial (nominee) list was a total waste of time. The
list did not contain the beau ideal of technocrats that most people had
anticipated. It will suffice to summarize public’s
interpretation of the list, as a spinoff."
"Interestingly,
the public outcry over President Buhari’s list of proposed ministers has
revealed (again) a chronic syndrome that is characteristic of human beings. We
human beings are too judgmental. It seems like a mark of
the beast in every human being to make statements that reflect their judgments
about how someone or people should do things. It is our human nature to always
desire to have things done or be the way we want them to be (done). As human
beings, we are always dissatisfied."
.................. "As
I shared my reflections with them (and now with you), I left them (now leaving you)
to decide if they will continue to be judgmental. I know it seems like a
mirage, but it requires consistent conditioning to conquer."
