It's either you don't read, or you don't understand what the term "Permanent Secretary" is.

Please get yourself educated before coming out in a public forum to display your ignorance.

Blah Blah Blah!

[size=13pt]Mitt Romney's "binder full of women" was the first thing that came to mind lol. I don't believe in appointing women for the sake of appointing women at all. Quality, not quantity/quota sha.[/size]

If you appoint men for the sake of the African mentality that the man is in charge even when he has nothing to contribute, nothing wrong with appointing women even if it to see their beautiful faces and imagine the ''tantalizingness'' of their humongous b-o-o-bs each day. grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin

Our own worst enemies. . .

Let's see, on one hand we have people who support being dragged back to the middle ages where women are given there there pat on the head like job offers and the other we have people who would rather women be thought of as intelligent beings with more to offer than their vaginas.

Oh yeah, the worst enemies is really obvious here.

ogugua88:

[size=13pt]I know exactly what I want. If women must be in office, then they must be competent, rational, intelligent, and firm. I, personally, don't want anyone appointing me to anything because I have XX chromosomes. I'm willing to do the hard work to get wherever I want based on merit rather than my gender. That's how people start slacking and believe that gender, race, etc can get them to the top. That's the argument for opponents of affirmative action in the US, and it's a valid argument.

Granted, supply may not be there, but I don't think it wise to start selecting incompetent or incapable people for quota purposes. I'd rather have the best of the best serve, regardless of who they are, from where they come, etc.[/size]

How can someone so young be so wise?!!!!!!

God continue to increase you in wisdom.

The same quota system thingy plays a big role in the shitty way the country is being ran. Instead of choosing a competent person, they elect based on tribe. Guess those who call for competence over tribal leanings are also Nigeria's worst enemies.

Lord really help us!!! undecided

In a sane society he just opened himself for a gender discrimination lawsuit. Apart from that, he doesn't even try to cover is faux pas by stressing that there really was a real need for 6 secretaries, it looks like he counted the number of female workers on his staff, saw he hadn't met the quota and went "Oya, let us hire 6 more women".

Besides, In this day and age where technology has made things easy. . .who the hell needs 6 secretaries?!! Another waste of money! undecided


And the women. . .Do they care that the only reason they got hire isn't necessarily because they are good at their job. . .at anything but because they are "fortunate" enough to be women?

Lmao! Receptionist and Typist was even beyond my imagination. . .I actually thought they were just gonna sit there looking pretty.

If these women had been men, the headline will not read Amaechi Appoints 6 Male . .their GENDER obviously played a big role in why they were hired and that is the crux of the matter here.

If they were appointed based on merits then leave it at that, why becloud their hard work by throwing their gender into it?!!

Permanent Secretaries are technical/professional heads of the ministries. They are not secretaries to the governor/president. They help the minister/commissioner (who in most cases in Nigeria are politicians illiterate on the subject matter of the ministry) to run the ministry.

Why cite affirmative action in the US to buttress your point?? That was created primarily to bridge-the-gap between the powerless and disadvantaged minorities - and white people who're born with privilege/supremacy attached to their umbilical cord.. Till all the races in America become equal and have a level playing field - there will never be a valid argument against affirmative action...

A country where male domination is the order of the day, and women are constantly left out while their male surbodinates rise to become their superiors a governor appoints 6 female permanent secretaries out of perhaps 15 ministries or more in the state and a woman questions their competence simply because of their gender?
Would you say the same if they were males?

The words they chose to use for the headline is all the proof needed in this case.

Men get APPOINTED (yep I am a fast learner cheesy ) all the time. ..you don't see the headline screaming 6 MEN BLAH BLAH.

That this women are even supposedly professionals in their day job makes it even more insulting. Why down play that in favor of their gender? Why not tell us about their professional achievements...the very thing that makes them qualified? That's what other women would love to read. ..will be proud to read, will be inspired reading.

This is because this is a rare occurrence even in 2013
Why should that surprise you ?
Nigeria is 52 years old and is yet to have a female state governor
The first female Chief Justice of the federation also made news and this happened just a few months ago
If memory serves me right the first female Vice chancellor of a university was Grace Alele Williams, in the 80/90s she also made news .i don't know if there has been any others since after and there are about 100 universities in the country ,Most with revolving tenures for VCs
Yet there are towns of female professors in the universities

So you see the adjective female was used in the headline
It is is not a common occurrence in Nigeria

Equating their gender to the reason for the appointment or reading more meaning into it reminds me of Republicans who prefer to emphasize Obamas blackness rather than his competence.
Yes he was the first black president and references are made to that but he deserved it ,so should these women be viewed.

Do you know ow many times I am mistaken as the assistant?
Do you know how many times I hear my assistant who is a white female tell someone that she is the assistant because automatically they assume she is because she is white
And if she were male of course that will happen even more .
