Jonathan's Style Of Governance- By Segun Ariyo


As the word goes,’’ nature must take its course’’, For whatever reason it is applied, the explanation depict one of those attribute that incorporate everything human does as way of life that arose from action, inaction, style and pattern of behavior.

where indeed, it can also be tailored alongside the act of God with its infinite mercy that he gave every living being as means to develop and grow over time with. Nature is truly phenomenal in that, it must take its course whenever it deems necessary of manifesting.

The way we tend to do things are as result of nature, we act and display our ways of life in line with nature. Nature in human is multi relational; it comes in different attributes, with varying applicability to different individuals overtime, occasion and in their endeavours. And in so doing, we tend to completely give out our best inline with what nature demands.

For instance, if we tend to react negatively at some individuals as result of their ways of doings then, we would be failing in considering their nature and how its influence their action and approaches, and this is where it is usually being mistaken for incapability.

Also, is the fact that we are human of the same skin and makings as the case may be, and should not mean that our behaviours are alike? We are of different thoughts and reasoning. Our approaches to issues are never the same, the unimaginable things that stands us out are relational, where in some instances, some of us tend to do the otherwise as a results, and still arrive at the same views and conclusion even though time may vary, but what usually justifies this means is the quality assurance needed.

Nature, in another phase, is an important appendage of every being that originated from Homo erectus and Homo sapiens respectively. The unimaginable came from the king eternal as we are made to believe, and it’s indeed a common phenomenon with every living being are with different attributes in their natural doings.

One observation that tends to exhibit more exposition of how nature operates is that of an animal in the biotic context that has every of its activities on land. Its operation is solely on territory and is called the honey Berger.

Very smart natural being; it has tick skin and goes all out to attack its prey at any point in time. Knowing fully well that its skin could easily rebuff any external attack that might want to sting and penetrate it, and at the same time destroy and kill it, honey Berger enjoys this natural potential and never bother as a result, pouncing on sneaks without having anything to fear, since it new the opportunity his skin is having.

 Infact its favorite meal usually is sneaks with highest poisonous organ. Another thing it enjoy doing is locating where the concentration of bees are. What honey Barger does in this regard is phenomenal. Astoninhingly,it move directly into their midst and eat enough out of it, to satisfaction and moves on.

 Report indicates that the honey Barger derives nutrient singularly from bees to sustain healthy skin. If going by this, one would discover that part of the natural potentials the honey Barger has, is being very smart and with defendable skin to its advantage, which in turn uses ,to protect self in time when the needs arise to go for it prey.

The animal uses honey to replenish its skin and healthy body which in my views, going by what nature has given it, one would only agree with me that this can only come natural. There is at the same time, other animal with the nature of having being the slowest in the world. Snail is indeed an example of such. Very calm animal whose time is no barrier.

 Instead, it takes time to do everything unlike the honey Barger whose potential was, is to the advantage of sustaining self and in some cases its reproductive organs. The snail would climb tree for days, while the honey Barger does in second. There can hardly be anything the honey Barger does in terms of feeding and sustaining reproductive organ that the snail could not. The natures of their movements are glaringly different, but have the same common goal to consume and live.

The honey Barger moves fast to get it prey whilst the snail moves slowly and at the end, both party live satisfactorily. Do we say indeed, in the whole, that nature hasn’t taken its course from the dichotomy of the duo.

The first entry point here is the fact that we are under the command of nature and there can hardly be any of our action and inaction that is not in tune with nature. Even the scene of the environment is usually distorted by nature, this we shall discover if we prode further, discovering that there are always a different picture of what is seen in our surrounding before ,compared to what was seen after.

 These attributes are indeed the command of nature that cannot be divulge entirely from reality and indeed how it’s transcends beyond to all living things on planet earth. The nature of the honey Barger for being smart as well as the snail that is having the nature of being slow to having its prey cannot be said to be disadvantage on the part of the snail.

The duo has everything that give them leverage interms of what makes them different from one another and indeed is not removing this fact that they belong to same species and that they both cater for their need and even sustain their reproductive organ and they still survive ultimately.

The fact that one is faster and the other was reported to be the slowest on earth should not be that they are unable to perform their duties that is required of them to do, even if to say the least, catering for their reproductive organs either as means of providing food that is of beneficial effects to them.

Also, one cannot say that snail as reported to be the slowest animal on this planet is of disadvantage, since in which ever manner it is perceived, slow and steady is said to be part of the race in sustaining themselves, then what should rather be of importance is ensuring that whatever is required is done efficiently, and upholding the required task needed instead of dessipitating energy on what is not needed at the long run.

 On the front side of human behaviour in leadership and governance, many observers tend to Mis-understood nature of human with style, approach and pattern to governance, where leadership is required, depending on individualistic acts. But one most striking example that caught my attention is the nature of our past military head of states and that of the recent experiences of late president musa yar’adua and President Goodlock Jonathan.

We saw how meticulous their style of leadership, approaches and pattern is, when it comes to the way they handle issue that borders on governance. We have seen in the past, where there was never a time that election is nullified even with all the merits that comes with it.

 While in time of yar’adua, we saw how the first governorship election in Edo state is being upturned by court of appeal headed by justice Abdulahi and the then, how president was the first to congratulate the winner.

We have equally seen the way some of them handled internal security mechanism with maximum force without succour to the constitution and whilst the others has ,with strict sensitivity of rules of engagement, and in accordance with international laws and conventions with which Nigeria happens to be a signatory.

 It can only take leader with dynamic nature to put together the lingering clamour for national conference, with many successes in many area of life Endeavour, living the legislative responsibility to the national assembly for them to enact and be on either positive or negative side of history, also, where merit is being used as yardstick for allocation of resources now other than the past where selfish interest is prevalence, an example is where found meant to be used for development and management of Lagos coastal zone areas was diverted, making all the southwest legislatures staging a walk out from the hallowed chamber during president obasanjo , where also, the people of Lagos state decided it wanted more local government, went through all the due process as outlined in the constitution and it was eventually played down at the centre.

The crises that brewed after withholding local government found in the state of Lagos that saw musa yar’adua taking leadership, and subsequently it was released.

The raising issues of freedom of information bill that president obasanjo left unattended to, was signed into law by President Jonathan. All this can only be coined in these wise as been gentile, calm and meticulous in approaching issues. Doing this, certainly come with nature and reasoning and those who are mindful of future, where action, style, approach and partten is being guided along the line for posterity sake.
