Why would she be sabotaging her country. Everybody should hold up their hands and take responsibility in this, the presidency aren't blameless.

seunmsg:


Is it that some of you don't truly understand how things work or you are just plainly silly? Nigeria have a fully operational mission in the UN headed by a permanent representative. We also have a functional embassy in the USA. So, why will the presidents PA or orderly be the ones to make such arrangement? Do you know the duties of the two missions that I mentioned above?

nightmile:
Buhari since his inauguration has visited

.France successfully.(Ambassador Akinyele...Yoruba).

. Uk. Successfully. (Ambassador Talfida..Hausa)

. USA Successfully . (Late Ambassador Adefuye...Yoruba)

. UN inside USA...(Prof Joy..Igbo ) clueless.

lawyer:
APC would never cease to amaze me. When its going well, its Buhari's Body language. When they mess up, they blame GEJ and if GEJ cannot be linked, they would find an ex SS/SE PDP woman to blame. I am happy APC's lies are beginning to manifest and its of their own doing. It was only Buhari that attended a Huge UN event without a Foreign Affairs minister and now they want to blame a highly respected ex foreign minister and UN Diplomat for their gaffes.

When GEJ was taking a huge team for UN conferences that comprised of Career diplomats, protocol officers and other people needed for the smooth visit of as Nigerian president, they abused him as a waster. How can Buhari walk down from his Hotel and there is no car to pick him and he decided to walk to the UN from his hotel? Na wetin? Later they would say he is living a Spartan lifestyle meanwhile he is disgracing 120million people. Even countries without Oil did not send their presidents to the UN to trek o!

How come no APC fan has opened their mouths to abuse and criticize Buhari for going with a lean football squad to a big Event. Even Chad's delegation out numbered Nigeria's own 3 to 1. I strongly believe Buhari's media team and online hardline radical conservative cashitivists would be his albatross at the end and would make PDP's job very easy in future elections. They are so used to denying everything even their wives and children and churning out silly propaganda at every given moment but Karma has caught up with them.

Nigeria is the only country out of 155 countries during the last UN summit that the UN expressed it's disappointment in. That summarizes this PMB/APC government * Drops Mic*

[b]I agree with you completely but having said that, l think it is time for PMB to "look inwards".

This is the way l see it:
PMB was a former military man and he is trying TOO MUCH to please everybody and show that he is a simple person!
He is trying to be "too trusting" when even he knows that he is dealing with a bunch of Ibo Vipers.
He tries too much to be a DEMOCRAT when in actual fact, these Saboteurs "dont play by the rules of democracy"
He is trying to be to fair to them when in fact they are just waiting in the wings, to stab him in the back!
He trying too hard to rehabilitate these failed secessionists when he should be stamping them out like Cockroaches

Henceforth, if Buhari or any of his advisers is reading this.... THE GLOVES ARE OFF!
Be your own man and know that "Nigerian Politics" is not for a gentle man that you are

These children of Anger, hate and Frustration from the Southeast want to ruin you rGovt and still blame you for it.
Put them where they belong, worst case scenario is that they would take up arms and the fedral Army will make a meal of them... like yesterday..

Once you know your enemy, you have no excuse for not putting a sledge hammer on them, if they attempt your fall.
Nuff said, let those that have ears,... HEAR!

There you have it Buhari!

Don't try to please a section of the country and ruin your chance of turning this country around. Throw few ministries of states that cannot affect you to the SE and keep your govt moving.

You have been fooled once, shame on the saboteurs, and we got your back, if you leave any of these Ibos where they can foool you again, then it will be shame on you.

Ibos will always shout and complain no matter what you do, so just do what's best for your administration.

WELL SAID...

argon500:
Members of President Buhari’s delegation to the United nations General Assembly have accused Prof.Joy Ogwu, Nigeria’s Permanent Representative to the UN, of sabotaging President Muhammadu Buhari’s participation, citing glaring missteps that have embarrassed the delegation and undermined Nigeria’s/

The accusation follows curious circumstances in which Nigeria missed two key events, putting its leadership on the spot. The first was a Boko Haram response event chaired by a UN Under-Secretary Mike O’Brien, which Buhari missed completely.

The Nigeria leader, who will speak in the general debate this evening, also missed a meeting with the Catholic Pontiff, Pope Francis, because of his late arrival to the meeting, the bizarre circumstances of which are only just being understood.

Sources within the delegation told SaharaReporters that the delegation also missed at least two other events and has had a difficult time securing full participation in the very important 70th Assembly.

In the case of the Boko Haram event, the sources told our reporter that it was never put on President Buhari’s calendar by the Nigerian mission.

Regarding the event with the Pope, Buhari missed it because when he came down from his hotel suite, there was no car to take him to the meeting. When he decided to walk to the event with his entourage, he was taken by Nigerian mission officials to the wrong gate, where they were denied entry by security agents.

Buhari then walked back to his hotel where, when he got on the elevator, the mission finally brought a car to take him to see the Pope.

Sources say when he made that second trip in the Mission’s car, he was again driven to yet another wrong gate and the delegation was turned back.

Also, yesterday an attempt by the delegation to attend a side meeting where Nigeria was to have declared its support for the “Commitment to Gender Equality” initiative almost failed as the mission failed to provide any secondary party to facilitate the Nigerian delegation’s participation. It took the intervention of the Chinese mission to help former member of house of reps Abike Dabiri and other delegates to get into the event.

And then today, members of the Nigerian delegation led by the governor of Niger state again denied access to another important event, “EveryWoman, EveryChild,” because of poor organization.

As Buhari prepares to speak today at the UN, the delegation also hit a major hitch as the Mission did not process tickets for all members of the delegation to get into the event. Only President Buhari and a few members of his protocol team were accredited to get in the venue. Our source said it was when Buhari finally got upset about it that Prof. Ogwu when out and processed acoustic tickets to enable a larger number of delegates to attend the event.

Apart from the fiasco with accreditation and general conference management, the members of the delegation are also not provided food in their hotel rooms as is the tradition. Instead, they are made to eat at a buffet at the Mission. According to his aides, President Buhari refused to go to the buffet.

The Nigerian delegation is staying at the ONE UN New York, (the former Millennium UN Plaza Hotel), across the road from the UN, and on the same block with the Nigerian Mission.

Prof. Ogwu’s tenure expires in December 2015. Several UN observers blames President Buhari for the mess, he berates the president delays in appointing ministers saying it is a major reason his UN trip failed miserably. A retired Nigerian diplomat told Saharareporters that President Buhari must have seen the folly in relying on unsupervised civil servants to run the affairs of state since he came to power.

naijaking1:


Having fully read this trash from Buhari's team, I'm even more alarmed that this team would shamelessly blame an ambassador Buhari has avoided like a plague since he took office. Their first excuse was also another bull.sh.it, now some tribaist has just figure out that Joy Ogwu must be Igbo---so a better scap goat.
Anybody who care would remember that instead of Buhari engaging the services of the country's career diplomats in Washington and NYC, the st..tu.pid man prefers to have even more stu..p..id APC politicians like Okocha, Oshiomhole, and now the governor of Niger state leading him around the city
No wonder they're going to the wrong doors and entrances, they deserve every mishap that occured to them, including, hopefully stepping into an elevator shaft.

At least we now know why you are pecking at nairaland for survival.

With a lawyer like you in a court room, even the hardest criminals can do without representations!

amazingspiderma:


This whole issue is about communication and coordination.
It is not a battle it is just simple protocols,no need to always refer to strategy or 48 laws of power.
Strategies are for uncerntainty,protocol is for planned event.
Let us be guided.

He is such an Eediot that l want to believe he is a failed Lawyer (the type that struggles to pass out or cheats to graduate)
All he knows is how to fight Omo-onlie!
His reasoning, logic and comprehension capability puts him on the same level as a street urchin or political Thug.

I have been observing his outburst at Buhari (dont mind if he is saying sense but he spews rubbish) and l wonder how a Lawyer can reason so poorly like this.
If he is that good, he wont spend all his life advertising for "omo Onile" on Nairaland.
There are SAN at his age.

Well said.

But pray tell me, whose duty is it, to "coordinate and communicate" for/to the President, in a UN general Assembly forum?

Am l wrong to say that Nigeria's UN. Permanent Rep (our UN ambassador) has A DUTY and RESPONSIBILITY to ensure that the President's itinerary is clear, unambiguous, well coordinated and communicated clearly to him as at when due?

That is the crux of the matter at hand.

If as the Director/CEO of a Bank, l go to a branch in another state and the branch Manager who is supposed to be my "ears and eyes" on ground, muddles up my schedules to the point that l miss "business dignitaries" that l am suppose to meet and strike business deals with or miss my "contemporary business dinners", l would fire him immediately and let someone who is "enthusiastic about their job" take over.
I have been there and know what l am saying here.

We have her types in other countries that the President has visited in recent times and these kind of lapses was not seen/heard of!
With six years on the job, she has no excuse to offer.... except Sabotage ofcourse.... and that is good enough!

BTW: I find it amusing you mentioned those two books.... you must think l have read them, right!
Lovely, l like that though 'native intelligence' bares me out.

Ambassador Joy Ogwu as Nigeria's permanent representative to the UN is saddled with the responsibility of preparing the presidents meeting schedules and itinerary during the general assembly. If it is true that she deliberately refused to include the boko haram response event in the presidents schedule, then she should not just be blamed, she should be sanctioned or removed.

menxer:
Do you know the duties of the Ambassador to the UN?

Yes, PMB got the embarrassment worthy of a President, it also shows to the world how incompetent Ambassador Joy Ogwu is.

Don't criticize or wail just because that's what is trending.

OfoIgbo:


No, not at all. UN observer are already blaming Mumu-hammadu for not having an external affairs minister. Such a person would have coordinated this trip.

Joy Ogwu is only Nigeria's represenrative in the UN. She is not the Nigerian ambassador in the US and definitely not the foreign affairs minister.

Previois presidents she served under, had ministers that will oversee the planning of such high profile trips.

For me, the alarm bells started ringing when I noticed fmr gov Fayemi seated between Buhari and Joy Ogwu in Buhari's first UN engagement in this trip.
I asked myself this question. Why will someone without a portfolio be sitting between the president and the official representative of Nigeria? If Fayemi had been the minister of foreign affairs, or VP, or the wife of the president, I would have understood, but that picture immediately said it all. Buhari and his entourage were there for the photo ops, rather than for any serious work, hence I am not surprised by the shambles the whole trip has turn out to be.

UN observers (not partisan pressmen or anti-Igbo Nigerians) have already correctly laid the blame on the president, and that's that.

wytecat:
UNBELIEVABLE!

I had to take a second look at his moniker! I knew something is wrong with him, just didn't know it's this bad

MayorofLagos:


What did you say??

Alright, I think it is time we sanction Ibos from the political section. You guys just dont get it!!


The UN is located in America but its grounds and campuses are considered international territory. The UN has its own police force. AMERICA has no jurisdiction on UN grounds.

Now, America itself has a rep in the UN. The UN rep is different from an Ambassadorial post but both are diplomatic missions.

The Nigerian Ambassador to the US is there to facilitate the needs of bilateral agreements between US and Nigeria people in areas of cultural exchange, business exchange, tourism, education, arts and so on.....

The Nigerian Perm Rep to UN is there to facilitate treaties between Nigerian Government and UN members and to be the face and facilitator when Nigeria interacts, inter-exchange, inter-play with peer Nations for military, state, humanitarian aid, development and peace accords.

One represent the people - Ambasador
The other represent the Sovereign - Perm Rep.

Dont ever make the mistake of confusing the two again.
