ABUJA-AN ambassadorial designate, Mrs. Ijioma Bristol, yesterday failed to recite both the national anthem and pledge before the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs.
Mrs. Bristol, wife of Nigerian Ambassador to France, who was screened yesterday as one of the 25 career ambassadorial nominees by the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs could not recite the first stanza of the national anthem.
Mrs. Bristol, who hails from Anambra State, was asked three times to recite the first stanza of the national anthem, but she failed on all occasions. She also failed to name the capital of Jigawa State when asked by the committee.
Chairman of the Committee, Senator Jibril Aminu, in reaction to her failure recommended that she be sent to do a crash programme on national anthem.




What has capital of a state got to do with competency, i bet those senators cant recite d latter part of d national anthem

lol, a bit sad

Why do you blame her? Ibos don't believe in Nigeria likewise me myself. The only grudges i have with her is trying to eat her own vomit. Since you don't believe in one Nigeria why try to be one of the Ambassadors of One Nigeria? How did she got promoted to secondary school? Educational standard in ibo land is stone age standard! Lol

A minister nominee from Ondo could not recite the anthem either and did not know the capital of Taraba. This happened in 07 (before this Igbo one) during Yaradua's time

I don't even know the capital of Jigawa.
She should know the National anthem though.

LOL oh what a shame!! Shame on you, Ijioma!
Even I can recite our national anthem.

Honestly who freaking cares, I am sure most of those big men/women chopping well well in Naija hardly can recite the national anthem or pledge talkless of knowing the capital of any other States in Nigeria. Maybe she bleeped/paid her way from primary school through university, so had no time to learn the national anthem or pledge.
