THANK YOU
NOTE TO HIS EXCELLENCY
9:36 am 08/02/2014 start
To
His Excellency,
Dr.
Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, GCFR
President
& Commander –in-Chief of the Armed Forces of
The Federal Republic of Nigeria
Aso
Villa
Abuja,
Nigeria
This is a special note from the
heart to You Mr President
For all you have done in this
dispensation to empower Women
For the first time in the
history of our Nation, an unprecedented appointment
Of women in to the Federal Executive
Council has been recorded, that will go into
The anal of our history as a
Nation as a first (1ST) , that is indeed mark of Leadership
Every Leader, who fails to
recognise the role of women in Nation building is still living in the past
From the very first day God finished
creation, he recognised the role of women and said it is not good for Man to be
alone and created Eve
He went further to look for a
woman to birth Jesus the SAVIOUR of the whole
God never underscored the role
and importance of the Women, and you have followed suit, I salute you Sir, for your courage and the vision you had, to set the
pace in this regard, Thank You Mr President.
You
realised that women are the womb that birth cities, countries and Nations
You realised, that having
birthed Nations they have all that it takes to lead Nations
So you gave them a platform to
show case their leadership abilities where others have never given them such
opportunity in the past, and have looked the other way, you changed all of that
in this present administration,
You set the pace for others to
follow in the number of seats occupied by women in the Federal Executive
Council and other Governmental Agencies “Unprecedented”
For
this I say thank you on behalf of the Nigerian Woman/ Women, in all sectors of
the Economy, Thank You Mr President.
THE BIG QUESTION?
Some people might ask the
question, why thank the President?, are the candidates not qualified?
Is the president simply not
doing his Job, I would like to respond thus:-
A PEEP IN TO THE PAST
Before now, many women were
very qualified to hold executive positions within the Federal Executive
Council, but were they appointed? No!
Before now we had women who
were better qualified than Men to hold sensitive key positions in some
Government Establishments and other Agencies, were they given the positions?
NO!
Because these women were never given
the platform to show case their abilities and capabilities
They were never opportune to
show the world what they were capable of performing Until, this President came along
and said now is the time to give the women a chance to prove their worth
It shall definitely go down the
anal of our history, that one President came in the name of GoodLuck Ebele Jonathan and changed the
lives of women for good in our Nation
Gave them a chance when over
the years it had remained a Male dominated affair that relegated the women to
the back ground and put them in obscurity
For
this again, I say Thank You Mr President. 10:22am 08/02/2014 stop
09/02/2014 2.52 start
What the President has done in
this dispensation
is to bring in so many women
into the polity to know more
about the system, about the
polity and how the polity is played
how the system is run, because
you can never know how a system is run
until you get into the system,
you do not know the system from the outside
you know the system from
within,
What the President has done for
the women of this country is to give them
a futuristic platform, where
they can study the polity now, and plan for the future
if women are interested in the
future of our Nation, the President is indeed a forward
thinking Man, a Man that has
given women, a hope for the future, this indeed I belief
is the President’s agenda for
the future of our Nation, because the hand that rocks the cradle also builds
the cradle.
For
allowing God use you Sir, as the vessel of the change for a better Nigeria in
the polity and affairs of our Nation I say Thank You Mr President.
THE ORGANIC THEORY PRINCIPLE OF A COMPANY : BOLTON
ENG CO. LTD VS GRAHAM & SONS
I will again liken the function
of the President and that is the Mark of true Leadership
to the Principle laid down by Lord Denning in Bolton (Engineering) Co.
Ltd v Graham and Sons: the organic
theory principal of a Company and how it functions;
“An
Excellent Leader picks his Generals, Lieutenants, Majors and all the best hands
he can find to help him in actualising his Vision and his game plan”.
No Visionary can do it alone,
go it alone, so the Excellent Leader applies:
The Organic Theory Principle of
a company as laid down in the matter of Bolton (Engineering) Co. Ltd v
Graham and Sons States thus;
“A Company can be
likened to a Human Body. It has a Brian and Nerve Centre which controls what it
does, it also has hands which hold the tools and act in accordance with
directions from the Centre. Some of the people in the Company are mere servants
and agents who are nothing more than hands at work and cannot be said to
represent the mind or will of the Company, others are directors and Managers
who represent the directing Mind and Will of the Company, and Control what it
does........”
In
relating this to contemporary day functionality of Presidents and Governors,
they are the Arrow heads, whilst some of the people who help administer the
Mission and Vision are,-
“Mere
Servants and Mere agents”
Who
are nothing more than hands and at work and cannot be said to represent the
mind or will of the President/Governors.
Others are the Directors
and Mangers who represent the directing mind and will of what the President/
Governors hope for. These are the Men and Women, who have excelled in their
portfolios, because for every visionary who must succeed, he must work with
hands, feet, brains and nerve centre, who, carry out this Vision.
No
visionary can do it alone so here the organic theory of the Company comes into
play.

The company is an entity that
outlives those who form it” The Visionary”
This happens when the Visionary
engages the best hands, and brains,
to carry out his or her Vision
In this regard, Nigeria can be
likened to a company, whose earliest Visionaries
have come and are gone, those
who fought for our Independence, ZIK, AWO, TAFAWA
but because Nigeria is an
“entity” it will continue to outlive those who fought for its
existence as an entity, and its
independence from its White Masters, people will come and people will go,
Presidents will come and Presidents will go but “Nigeria” shall remain.
However like the Bolton Organic
Theory Principle, what will make Nigeria excel as a Nation is getting the right
Hands, Feet, Eyes, Brains that will move Nigeria Forward
This responsibility falls on
the “laps” of the Visionary in this case “The President” to pick the right
candidates to help him actualise the BOLTON THEORY, this the President has done
by identifying Women credible Women to help move Nigeria forward, which has not
been the case in 50 years of our existence as a Nation.
For this honour granted to
Nigerian Women, we must give honour to whom it is due I say indeed Thank You Mr
President.
One other
credible unique quality that Mr President has is such a rare one, in a world
where people are so self-fish and more of me and less of others syndrome is
rampant IS a rare display of THE SPIRIT OF LOYALTY AND SELFLESSNESS
In
this Political Jungle, where everyone is busy scheming and looking for ways to undermine
and unseat other people, give them a bad record and choosing to celebrate
mediocrity rather than ingenuity, people are looking for how to oust others,
Mr
President has consistently, displayed the mark of Loyalty to a cause and to his
party and to those whom he has served under, he has refused to engage in the
jungle, grabbing spirit, never sought to unseat his Bosses rather he allowed
nature to take its course and for God to fight his battles and so he served his
Masters diligently even when people were crying out, unseat him!!, unseat him!!,
he refused to do that as the Deputy Governor of Bayelsa State, he refused and
nature took its course.
Again
another opportunity presented itself, to undo his Boss, God is always putting
people to the test, as the Vice President of the Nation, he refused to take
over the seat of the President, his Boss, even when the public cried out,
unseat him!!, unseat him!!, again Nature took its course and God exalted him to
the Presidency, hold your peace whilst I fight for you, this I belief is a very
big lesson to all of us as a people, as
a Nation. Indeed they that put their trust in the Lord shall not be put to
shame.
Again I say to Mr President,
because you have a good Heart to serve and not to undermine your Bosses, your Superiors, the
Lord shall continue to fight your
Battles and shall cause you to
overcome them all Amen!!!
Thank
you Mr President, for all the seats you made available to Women in your cabinet
and for the more seats you shall create for women Thank you Sir!!!
For
promoting the cause of Women, for recognising Womanhood Thank you Sir!!!
For
bringing more women to lime light to build Cities, Countries, Nations Thank You!!!
For
every good desire you have for the Nation, God will surely bring to pass
Amen!!!
For
all the people you have pulled up to help you actualise the desires of your
heart for the Nation, God will grant you wisdom to actualise this hopes and
aspirations Amen!!!
Thank You, and Thank You again
for giving the Women a Platform to Perform
Remain Blessed of the Lord
God Bless Mr President!!!
God Bless the FEDERAL REPUBLIC
OF NIGERIA!!!
