Square peg in a round hole

Ugh, , the way I see things and going by the trend in this wonderful country of ours; she will be alowed to do her job as the information officer. But by my projections, she will eventually be relieved of any ministerial appointment(s) when next the ministerial cabinet is reshuflled.


No doubt! I believe she ought to perform optimally if she were appointed as the Health Minister, given her antecedence in recent years as the NAFDAC Boss.


Let's sit back and watch the 'POLITICOS' play out their game - call it 'Political Black Jack'.

[b]This is one hell of a thread in which everyone seem to be focused in one direction without objective assessment of the subject matter.   A lot of people on the thread could not decipher between political activism and political appointment. Because of the role of prof dora in NAFDAC, a lot of people are mistaken her for a political activist. She might have handled NAFDAC with iron fist, but that still didnt make her an activist. Political activism are in the domain of Ganis, Falanas and Kutis of this world. As a DG she discharged her duty with reponsibity to her boss. She didnt act alone, she acted in accordance to the policy direction of the government that appointed her.

I said it earlier, a minister is a politician. Prof is being groomed for politics, watch out in the coming years for a metamorphosis of one time DG of NAFDAC to a Governor of Anambra State. Anyone who takes a ministerial appointment has also in effect taken a political appointment. Even Nigeria Constitution affirm that. Paragraph 147 section 5 of the constitution says:

No person shall be appointed as a Minister of the Government of the Federation unless he is qualified for election[/b]as a member of the House of Representatives.

so I ask you who is 'qualified' for election?

Whether Dora is in health, finance, Information or whatever, she will function in accordance with the policy direction and agenda of the Government that appoints her. I know a journalist with Thisday Newspapers those days, I used to read his column regularly, Olusegun Adeniyi. His articles were always in opposition to Government. You would change your opinion on any issue if you read his articles. Today, Olusegun Adeniyi is Yar-Adua Spokesman. He's the mouth-piece of the president. Yar-Adua must have seen him and thought; rather than using your talent to run my government down, come use it to lift me up. Yar-Adua appointed prof dora Information minister, beacause he's obviuosly looking from where a lot of you could not see. No Crime  

As far as the FG is concerned,anyone can be taken down.With the likes of Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala gone and Ribadu who was rather dealt with let us just pray that Chukwuma Soludo is not the next target.Poor old Dora,may God help her.

@henri4uall , sorry but can you translate into common english what you just posted?

she is not poor and she is not old, she went in and took the appointment with her eyes open.

And hoping to rule us with absolutely no idea , Contrary to here qualification. It's simple! Step down now! Because this is National Cake against here pedigree

@poster:

So help her GOD!

anyway i think this is a plot to silence her since a lot of all the so called bad pple are not happy with her but really a lot of nigerians thought she would reject it, so suprise she took the post

this is her test of intelligence. it is somehow a test of what she stands for. this is where the gap is between Dora and Okonjo Iweala.
a brief refreshing of our minds will reveal that this was how iweala was shown the door.
iweala knew that such shift will expose her to low performances and knowing too well that she must not be a minister rather she must remain in her field for maximum production hence she decided to quit.
the FG has been under preasure on how best to move this woman out of the ways of killersso moving her to information ministry will give her room to remain in power but out of the way of those whose fake drugs and foods are on the way to nig.
to me, this looks like a smooth disengagement but if i have to say something to her, the only thing i will tell her is to resign on a high.
it is only in nigeria and under obj that a winning team is changed for a loosing side.
we are on making progress in our efforts to go backward.

Akinluyi[/b]? who be that one?

@Topic
This administration is just too confused. Let's see how long before they re-shuffle and sack again. Soon we'll have D.Banj as Minister of Health. That's the koko

Am really glad when i had the news, Mr President can now talk, she's the right person.

well people will or may say she do not know or have an information expirience.

My answer to those who will that; Dangote do not know 1% of his products. but he have got the sence of
chosing the right people at the right place.

Dora is ma man.

Fellow  naira/L  ,am not  surprised  with  the appointment  of  Dora  Akunyili as information  minister.The  placing of round peg in a square hole  is not new in our country examples include  late chief Bola  Ige as power minister and others ,another  issue i want us to consider  in  this is (juicy  positions),which  is a clear pointer  to the fact that  appointments  in Nigeria  is not  for performance  but  a  compensation  for  personal  favour  of our leaders.Better  performer  to Yaradua  from his  own perception or better  still  his advisers. AT LEAST  THE  PHRASE  "JUICY  POSITIONS ' IS NOT  NEW  TO YOU.
 Well, i which  her  the best  on her  new  post .

This is really sad for a govt that is constantly preaching a million and one agendas for effective deelopment of the country.

However it may, i am not a proponent of Akunyili resigning immediately, nope! Resign, Yes! but not as if its in bad taste, and then let the gladiators plotting your downfall laugh.

She should all the same remember to leave before the lies start coming

I agree totally with you. It's a shame that a so called educated Yaradua could hate Nigeria this much by ensuring he removes the few public servants who are committed to sanitizing the rot in our society from the positions where they can function effectively. Imagine what he and his Aondoakaa did to Ribadu, just to save the faces of his colleague Governors who are now his ministers. Today it is Akunyili. I hope it is not intended to rubbish the amazon.

I think her nomination and appointment as Information Minister is quite in order.
Prof Dora Akunyili is a performer any day. She will do justice to the Ministry of Information. Recall
that before she was appointeed DG NAFDAC, nobody gave her any chance of succeeding. She succeeded extremely well. She will do the same in the ministry of information.
No person,organisation or indeed nation will do well without access to adequate, timely and resourceful  information. Development starts from information. The problem of Nigeria is information-based. I have no doubt Akunyili will do well in that capacity. Let's support her to excel, project the government and render the much needed dividends of democracy.

If not in Nigeria, I can bet it will never happen!

y una de raise hell 4 dis mata? the woman wanted to b minister, and minister she now has become,

but really, making her PRO for yaradua is a very sane move on d president's part, yes, for a govt that is fast losing credibility, they need someone the public trust to polish them up in d eyes of nigerian, it is a wise political move on his past

however, the only loser will b Prof Dora cos by the time she's thru, nobody wil take her serious anymore, i know she cld achieve a lot in communications but she is there primarily to sell yaradua to us and assure us that he is not as his 'detractors'paint him

Thank you O! when i read the papers yesterday and learnt Akunyili was minister of information, i was shocked
what concerns pharmacy, fake drugs and information?
why do we, nigerians like putting square pegs in round holes?
i pray that one day, they don't put a herbalist as head of EFCC or worse a hunter in charge of security.
this is a country where strange things are normal,and normal things are abhorred

" O God of creation
Direct our noble cause
Guide our leaders right
Help our youths the truth to know
In love and honesty to grow
And living just and true
Great lofty heights attain
To build a nation
Where peace and justice
Shall reign"

AMEN

Dream come true for her

Dora Akunyuli has the chance of becoming nigeria's female president in a short while from now. this appointment is a hard test she must pass. i think the future seer is looking for every oppurtunity to rubish her clean card. she has the option of proving them wrong or dispointment millions of young nigerians who look up to her. I PRAY GOD WILL GIVE HER WISDOM to make the right choice.
