To give Madam Due Process her due, she was terrible!

Oby Ezekwesili, one time minister for education and minister for solid minerals under the Obasanjo regime, aka “Madam Due Process”, and lately the frontwoman for the Bring Back Our Girls campaign, went “Head to Head” on Al Jazeera with Mehdi Hasan at the Oxford Union.

Try attending ALL the universities in Nigeria through JAMB, for different courses. Till you do that, nna'm ukwu, biko, sidon one side, close mouth and read other reasonable comments. Gratias pappy

I love this woman. She is dogged and very caring. She isn't a person that cowers in fear when opposed even by people close to her.

God Bless You Ma'am.

She messed up big time in that interview

Opposition at work

Lol. Am not surprised.
Once you take her away from her programmed forte of criticizing Jonathan, she flounders.
Now that the NA is bringing back girls, women and Children, she is now running around in crazy circles because she knows not what else to ask Jonathan to bring back.

Umm, unless it is to bring back shecow!

Dem don use her finish achieve their aim, award her one of the most influencial pple, tell her bye bye. Na shecow she go soon go dine with now.

That woman needs to take some time off and make her hair. She should refuse to look ugly by investing less time on twitter and more time on learning how to make-up. You must first be a woman first before being a Nigerian. I do not patronize people who are negligent of their looks, cos they will not pay attention to most important things in life.

Disgrace? What disgrace?
What I saw was a mature exemplary performance against a blustering,bullying and belligerent interview style.

You should have listened to what she said instead just seeing.

I don't know her in person bt I think she cool.

I did not listen?

She did well , though her defence of liberal economy and imf was shaky and wrong.

True be told, the interviewer was hard on Oby. Overall, she did remarkably well. I need to do more research on that guy, he is the kind of person that needs to interview our corrupt leaders. Brutal journalism.

That was harsh. As long as she's clean, there's nothing wrong with her. There are too many question-begging epithets in your submission. If she wasn't paying attention to more "important things in life" she wouldn't be called for that interview!

He is very good

She did well , though her defence of liberal economy and imf was shaky and wrong.

Firstly she did not "defend liberal economy or IMF" and if she did that is an opinion I do not see what qualifies you or anyone to say it is right or wrong any more than saying one political candidate is better or worse. Economic opinions are not an empirical science. Without dwelling on the opinions she has which I do not agree or disagree with I watched the clip to see how she disgraced herself
Firstly she was not nakedd or drunk
She spoke thoughtfully ,intelligently and articulately in the face on an interview style that was overly intrusive. It is not the job of an interviewer to debate an interviewee but to question . In this case he badgered her quite rudely when he did not give an answer he liked e.g requiring her to give an opinion that was potentially libelous on Obasanjo. Again when she indicated that she was not a partisan politician he persisted that is debating not interviewing there is a difference.She answered the question and he should move on.
Importantly in the face of all that she did not lose her cool as some might have which was quite mature. I do not see economic opinion or politics as areas of mathematical precision He cited information from "Wikileaks" as FACTS which of course are debatable. .What is important is that people have a logical basis for their position. Equally there may be a logical position for an opposing perspective.
I therefore wonder from which altar you deign to pronounce that she was "wrong" by the way she never worked for the IMF but the World Bank, She admitted the need for those institutions to change and even proposed that they should cease to exist by 2033. She did say that African leaders need to show more assertiveness in rejecting policies that did not suit them

.

She is the ugliest man living today. Very clueless on matters that would propel d country to grater heights but proficient in things to descredit indivuals. As ugly as Obj

Boss13:


He is very good

He is sharp but I do not agree he is good . I think he is immature and plays to the gallery a lot. It is important to study the older more mature interviewers to see how they operate.Clearly he fancies himself as a younger Jeremy Paxman but he must learn that when you ask a question and get an answer you don't like you should at best express your skepticism rather than attempt to badger or bully as he did with the Obasanjo question.That was inappropriate. He should learn from Larry King. The ultimate . Anyway I guess there is a market for his style but he I am sure he will adjust if he was interviewing the Emirs of ,UAE about human rights or workers rights etc

Of what use, is her rants ? I believe she was invited there to be ridiculed. You know it, I know it, we know it.

....she did very well....excellent....

u are just a hater. The guy said his mind...he hasn't met another like her..how is dt ur problem?

Oby why ?

She did a good job. She tried.

The only grouse I have with Oby was her obsession with the Chibok girls given that she knows more about the abduction than she has publicly acknowledged. Many Nigerians were abducted, as the recent liberation of Sambisa forest has shown, but BBOG campaigners were only concerned about a section of them.

It is my belief that the girls' abduction was one of the plans hatched to bring down the administration of GEJ. It's comparable to 1979 Iranian crisis that was eventually used to defeat Jimmy Carter. President Jonathan did not help matters too by not being decisive or ,say, brutal enough on BH. His stance on the missing $20 billion also did not help. If all he is doing now- sacking APC moles, being more decisive on BH, and seen to be fighting corruption etc .Had he done them earlier,he would have won the election.

Now we are the mercy of 'change' people, but experiences all over the world have shown that politicians that shout change all the time have no specific programmes. Therefore, I shall be watching.

I rest my case.
