A 34-man ministerial nominee list sent by President Goodluck Jonathan was this morning unveiled on the floor of the Senate by the Senate President, David Mark.


The list contains a mixture of some of the former ministers and new ones. However, a notable potential nominee such as Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, that had been bandied in the mass media was not on the list. Another notable name not on the list is Mohammed Haliru Bello, Acting National President, Peoples Democratic Party, PDP. The list sent by the president is on the table below. The senate is expected to start the screening of the nominees soonest. President Jonathan might send more nominees to the senate, according to our sources at the National Assembly.

with the kind of jundiced rubbish being spewed out here- nobody is talking about how she can reposition the economy all most are after is how she can fight sanusi- abeg iwela run for your career nigeria is not yet ready for people like you when we are you will see the signs

Curiously, why do we have two nominees from Ogun and Benue respectively?

I see two godfawdas at work - Obj and Mark -

The list is uninspiring.

the list is disappointing

I am so happy about this, she added no value to NIgerians during her last stay. We are only dazzled by her international career. Pls Iweala shoulsd stay in world bank abeg

20 advisers is too much. What will they be doing? advising him on what? please trim them down even if the want to advise you for free.

GEJ nor serious; IS GEJ THE MESSIAH OR WE SHOULD EXPECT ANOTHER?

And so what?  Is she the total hope you cast your vote to Jonathan? Mind you, She can't deliver anything while others are busy drying the treasury. It sucks to think she will. However, I rather urge us to engage on some massive protest. We see it happening in Arab world, Greece, Spain and France. We can't get there my praying or hoping alone, but by force. Thanks

ok

My guy you are talking trash. was it not when she left that obj started blowing your excess crude account. she was only a minister

@ssaemoeni
To be frank, I wonder why it is extremely difficult for the Nigerian masses who bear the pains of protracted bad leadership to rise up and change the ridiculous status quo just as it is currently done in other climes?

PDP has over the years perfected the art of toying with the future of Nigerian youths and the best we can do is to perfect the art of media complaints while things get worse by the day. I hereby call on all the youths, including those who claim to have voted GEJ and PDP, to organise a peaceful massive protest against bad leadership, against LEGISLOOTERS and against incurable corruption. Nigerian masses are so depraved in a country so endowed.

even if the messaiah is here your type wont know because you criticise virtuslly everything and any step taken.your candidate is not even spared.this is why we are where we are today.NIGERIA IS A TERRIBLE COUNTRY

you people should not worry, a new list of super ministers is almost out and she must be definitely be there.

These guys are at it again, why is it that Nigerians cant be trusted, they omitted my name again even after OBJ and GEJ assured me of a ministerial appointment. How do i recover my investment in the course of the last SELECTION process. Now the Banks i borrowed money from will be after me. I AM DEAD.

Is there going to be a list of supa dupa ministers? How many are there going to be in total? Personally, I don't think 34 is enough. There should be 774 ministers: one for each local government. That way one of my uncles could become one and I could finally get a decent job.

alibaba would not approve ur joke,trust me.

Guys, leave this woman alone, she has done it once, no changes, give another person the chance to chop also.

GEJ would make no difference to the Nigerian polity, The forces behind the run Nigeria down project are to strong.
no answers to Boko Haram
No solution to Niger delta
Biafra still dey there
very soon Oduduwa boyz would start dem own.
Nigeria is a country with so much resources yet so little to show for it, Ibadan express way number 1 death trap in the country yet the govt turned a blind eye to that side.
Even the average job is no more average,take home pay cant take you home.
we need real time snipers , I mean long range snipers to wipe some people out.

shey it was SR that started the now known rumour about Iweala's come back?

Curious. Why are we into recycling people and portfolios?

Either She or the powers that be know better. The way she left, it seemed as if she was used for a purpose and dumped. Anyway, na Naija we dey, pending ministers make una do something ooh! God Bless Nigeria.

Sidon look. The president is still acting under his right. Nothing wrong yet.

@ joecrack

Are u on that stuff again? After ur rehab u should have stayed off crack. Its a pity what u have done to yourself, but we will keep trying for you, for the sake of the communal effort invested to turn you to a useful person. M.ORONIC EEDiOT.

xtics of a PDP govt, another wasted four years is looming, very uninspiring list

The same old criminals. Pls if my father is the next presidential candidate for PDP don't vote for him. No future for Ngerians under PDP. Be wise
