THE Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs has begun the screening of Ambassadorial nominees forwarded to the Senate by President Muhammadu Buhari.

There was, however, drama as two of the nominees, who appeared before the Senator Monsurat Sunmonu-led committee could not recite properly stanzas of the National Anthem and the Pledge.

One of the nominees, Vivian Okeke, from Anambra State failed when she was asked to sing the National Anthem.

During her screening, Mrs Okeke was asked by Monsurat Summonu, the chairman of the committee, to sing the National Anthem. Mrs Okeke during the recital, mumbled the last stanza of the National Anthem but was aided by a member of the committee, Senator James Manager.

She was the first nominee to be screened of the 47 ambassadorial nominees.

However, the nominee said the three major changes that should be made must be in the area of fighting corruption, insurgency and diversification of the economy.

She also said that returnees should be received when the country puts in effort, even as she stressed the need for the country to look into the area of financing and salary payments.

They were quick to call names when they Saw that of Abrahim Bida and I told them Okeke also failed it and one "mizzkweenbee" insulted me for saying so! I would be grateful if mods move this to FP to prove me right!!!

What a wow.

like nominees, like our Daura president

i suspect she is from daura not Igbo from the anambra. our yeebos blodas are very intelligent, just take them to Lagos or abuja and see becoming landlord within a year.

And these were part of the people swift in blaming Buhari and the nominee on sighting the post of a northerner who was unable to sing the National Anthem and recite the Pledge.

No excuses, she mumbled the last stanza, the Bida man own was that from beginning to end, the man could not recite any.

Honestly these are one Nigerianists who can't even recite their god-damn national anthem.

Pity!

Tell me to recite Biafran anthem, even tho e long pass river nile, I will recite it all and still add the pledge on top; Patriotism!

But Nigerian anthem? Nah Nigguh, Ion feel a thing even mumbling the words, no one loves Nigeria, they only love oil and the money they steal from it.

Normality:


Biafran anthem sparks love and patriotism in one's heart, this Nigerian anthem, my brother, the lyrics are like what is forced on people, no emotions no nothing.

"Arise Oh Campatroits!"
"Nigeria call Obey!"
"To serve Our Father Land!"

My God! The thing sounds like a general dishing out orders in the War front.

kingzizzy:


Actually, the Biafra Anthem is much better than the Nigerian Anthem which sounds like a military parade song.

As a lover and student of classical music,it resonates.

And they will confirm she and Bida as Ambassadors-in-waiting? Our Senate suxks

"Arise Oh Campatroits!"
"Nigeria call Obey!"
"To serve Our Father Land!"

My God! The thing sounds like a general dishing out orders in the War front.

Heheh, nwanne i na-acho okwu oh, maka ndi one naijiriya.
