She can be the alternate president of the world, but if her position does nothing to improve the lot of the average Nigerian, then it is meaningless.

la furia: Will this translate to decrease in oil bunkering, oil subsidy thefts,? Nigerians have always gotten several awards but ends up on the wall of their office, it doesn't translate to Any meaningful progress.

Nigerians in govt hardly wins international awards,which is usually based on merit and achievement than the usual buying of awards in Nigeria.
This is probably the first administration to have outstanding and internationally-aclaimed individuals as part of its economic team.
And yes,her presidency would increase Nigeria's standing in the international community and divert much needed investment,expertise and exposure into the Nigerian oil&gas industry.

Conference Presidents

The Conference President is elected by the Conference and serves for a period of one year. He presides over the Meetings of the Conference in the course of his Presidency.

Also elected by The Conference is the Alternate President who exercises the responsibilities of the President during his absence, or when he is unable to carry out his responsibilities. The position of Alternate President was introduced in 1978 at the 51st Meeting of the Conference.

In its half-century of existence, the Organization has had 65 Conference Presidents and Alternate Presidents who, together, have presided over more than 155 Meetings.

And how does this belittle anything?
Yes,the job of the president of a UNION is to preside over the meeting of the Union.
That dosen't take away the fact that she was adjudged qualified and cerebral enough to be given the presidency of an important and major union like OPEC.
It shows that the best brains with international competitiveness and good leadership skills are in charge of Nigeria's economy.
And the fact that she's the first woman in the midst of shariah-states like saudi-arabia,qatar and co makes it more impressive.

1MCN:
I've learned from experience that when a human being is desperate for a thing they can become either so aggressive or so humble but as soon as they get what they want and the pain of the want wanes they seem to forget too soon. Ember months used to be the period that records the highest cases of domestic fire incidents in this country. That used to be due to people buying and storing petrol around their homes for use during the yuletide festivities as the commodity was harder than a goldmine. Today is Dec. 9th no rumour of impending fuel scarcity (artificial or real) and you walk or drive into a filling station and you collect what you want without any stress whatsoever. In fact, most of the stations are running promos this Christmas season. I tell you solemnly, Nigeria may never have an administration like this again in its history if it doesn't take time.

Yes, indeed, Nigeria may never have this administration any more! But let us pray for an improvement.
The election that brough Shagari's government carries with it all amount of support from south south, south east. The same support was given to Obasanjo. In fact almost every Nigerians from the above regions were singing praises for the performance of governor Fashola openly whether in the air, roads, even in the waterrine areas, because these people felt we are one united nation. When it come to the Izon man, GEJ, the west, the north want him down. As it stand now, no one will, as a result of this dislike for others, sing praises to those who are outstanding because we have realised that if a leader is not from either the west or north, he or she is highly hated and marked down for for complete run down through all available means including Boko haram. And some idi.ot are saying inspite of this high degree of tribal hatred, they are expecting a Mandela from Nigeria. We can never produce any generally acceptable leader any more since such a leader will be from a particular tribe, others will ensure that he or she will not be given beathing space to perform.
If I may ask, do we still hear of praise songs over Fashola performance as before? No matter how you are I will personally go for the finishing of such individual provided he or she is from the north or west even though am from the west and south south.

Just thinking of the numbers of apc supporters that will go for admission for BP over this news.

As Mama don take Mantle.the OPEC that we know is coming to an End

1MCN:
The Nigeria Finance minister came 2nd in the IMF election and therefore she's the 1st runner-up and not 2nd runner-up. Thanks.

Just thinking of the high numbers of apc members and their supporters that will go for admission for BP over this news.

But please they can go and die if they so wish after all their master Oshiom-ole has shown them how to do it. Rat poison is still affordable in the market, they can emulate their idol Awo-ole.

Hahahaha I'm having a good laugh, gullible fellow already praising Dieziani for being appointed alternate president by OPEC.

1MCN:
Love Dieziani or hate her, she's one of the best things that have happened to the Nigerian oil and gas industry, and by extension, the Nigerian economy. I've learned not to listen too much to a loud mouth and a faster talker. The noise some oil thieves made since early last year up to this moment were only meant to demonize a woman who sacrifices her many night sleeps and the laughter in a family dinner just to exorcise the nation of the greed of a few. I followed the debates and consultations building up to the removal of oil subsidy, and one thing was common almost every participant. They all agreed that oil subsidy was killing the poor and enriching a few rich. But the problem was, how would it go? Those who sponsored the protest and those mal-informed youths who participated in it claimed they were fighting for the poor and I wonder how they've not closed down Nigeria because of the high cost of Kerosine (a commodity used by the real poor). Even the govs who endorsed the subsidy removal could not face the heat when it came. But this brave lioness stood!

Well said.
She is obviously a brave lioness.
Brave on two fronts though.
The 2nd not as positive as d other
