Re-branding: N’assembly Seeks Source Of Funding by Kobojunkie: 4:22pm On Mar 17, 2009 |
Re-branding: N’Assembly Seeks Source of Funding •Why 'Heart of Africa project failed-Akunyili http://www.thisdayonline.com/nview.php?id=138015 The Joint Committee on Information and Media of the Senate and House of Representatives yesterday took the Information and Communications Minister, Professor Dora Akunyili, to task on the sources of funding for “the re-branding Nigeria ” project. |

I cannot believe Dora would talk like this. ''Heart of Africa" gulped N1.05 billion during Obasanjo's regime and yet, it was a total failure, therefore she thinks it becomes pertinent - imperative to bring ''re-branding Nigeria'' as an alternative and solution? If she believes every Government is a continuum, why not work on the mistakes of ''Heart of Africa?'' Must she design her own pet project/initiative? Again, she has not explicitly stated how the source of funds will be gotten? Who are the Government that will give the money? Are they not the same looters from the nations treasury? What checks would be undertaken to verify the source of funds from these fund-raisers to her ''re-branding project?'' A lot of gaps are missing with this project, which I believe does not add credence to her initiative. |

*Most nigerians see nigeria as an enterprise to make money from and not a country to build and serve because there is no feeling of nationhood amongst its people.* |
Re: Re-branding: N’assembly Seeks Source Of Funding by Nobody: 4:54pm On Mar 17, 2009 |
why do Nigerians have issues with what Dora is doing or trying to do? has she all of a sudden become one of so many Recycled Money-grabbing Old Nigerians? Shouldn't her legacy as the former NAFDAC boss buy her some trust and breathing space? Maybe she does not want to be associated with a corrupt project hence, the Re-branding. Im not trying to defend her but i believe she needs some space to her job. if she fails then she can face the firing sqaud |

Ever considered how much all the failures, to date, have cost, and continue to cost, you, Your mother, your father, your relatives, your people, your children and your children's children? If you can, please think/ponder that way for a minute; it might put all this in perspective for you, and help you understand that making sure to do it right is better than just throwing it to chance for the umpteenth time. |
Re: Re-branding: N’assembly Seeks Source Of Funding by Pataki: 5:13pm On Mar 17, 2009 |
OMO IBO:In case it flew over you, let me state it out clearly. It is the high pedigree at which Dora set with NAFDAC, that has endeared her to these amount of criticisms with her initiative. First, she cannot explain in clear terms what this ''re-branding'' serves to the common man on the streets of Nigeria? Does it remove the poverty, insecurity, corruption, lawlessness, low employment rate, amongst others in Nigeria? Secondly, what is the source of funds to this project? Where will her ministry obtain the money from, seeing that ''re-branding'' was not part of the budget allocation which the her ministry intended to undertake - spend? Dora made her mark as standing up to illegal drugs in Nigeria. Thereby, stepping on several toes in Nigeria. If she intends seeking her funds from the public towards this project, is it not the part of the same public who have employed corruption, amidst other negative vices in the country to obtain their wealth; that she will now be requesting for funds from? Lastly, she is a public servant. Her past achievements does not make her secluded from criticisms and issues of discussions bothering on areas where Nigerians see another avenue for corruption and looting of the nations treasury. |

Pataki and KJ, Before Dora took over the affairs of NAFDAC when she was relatively unknown. Who thought she was going to be such a success? if she was stopped from doing what was right, NAFDAC would have prolly gone down as 'one of those things' if she's going to be hounded and hindered from doing what she thinks is right for the country then whats the point? you dont start counting your failure even before you start a project. I believe Dora must be allowed to go about her business without being pulled back just like any other official. Oga PAtaki, Dora stated that the funding will come from public sector, which is government, private sector and the people of Nigeria. What other information do you need? or how else do you want her to explain this? |

Dora Akinluyi, Must be BORED out of her mind. |
Re: Re-branding: N’assembly Seeks Source Of Funding by Nemeziz9ja: 6:03pm On Mar 17, 2009 |
@ Omo Ibo You see, this whole mantra of Dora is this, Dora is that is waning out. I have mentioned it before and will continue to say it that she is just asserting her role in the present regime by the[b]Rebranding[/b] song. What manner of branding will help a country where constant power supply is a problem, the And, in case you do not know, Dora also has some corrupt practices institutionalized while she was at NAFDAC in spite of the noise she was making outside then. Visit their labs back then; if you do not grease hands nothing will be done on your samples and so forth. The truth is; Dora is not a saint and what everyone is singing on rebranding is a broken record. We need the basic necessities of life and not a Nigeria logo whose neon lights will end up being powered by generators. More stoning for Ya' adua ( rhymes with Yeah, a dull Ass) as he re-brands. |
Re: Re-branding: N’assembly Seeks Source Of Funding by Nobody: 6:10pm On Mar 17, 2009 |
Nemeziz9ja, what if this re-branding is just what Nigeria needs to kick start the economy. what if this re-branding brings good deeds? I don't how true your allegation on Dora is but i'd pick her ahead of any of the present and past officials. She seems to be doing some sort of work like some of the tossers we've had |

OMO IBO:I notice you play a lot of chance games with issues than actually providing points that help your case. How long have you been a Nigerian? What happened to the WHAT IFS that were asked of the over 20 rebranding projects of our past? Why didn’t those “what if this re-branding brings good deeds?” questions asked of those rebranding schemes not make sense then? Why didn’t those “what if this re-branding is just what Nigeria needs to kick start the economy.?” questions asked for each ofthe previous schemes not pan out? Why do you think asking WHAT IFS yet again will suddenly make sense now? The woman is clearly not working on having us at least own up for the past mistakes. She continues to blame it all on foreign forces, instead of demanding we take responsibility for our actions in the whole. Is that how you solve problems in your personal lives? Push blame onto foreigners and then come up with ideas that making everyone think positive and print only positive stories will change the country? The investors who recently pulled out of Nigeria got a taste of what the country had to offer and deemed it unacceptable. Why not deal with that reality? |

Re: Re-branding: N’assembly Seeks Source Of Funding by mustafar1: 9:26pm On Mar 17, 2009 |
what if she doesnt have a clue about what her job description entails? what if she is out of her comfort zone and out of her depth? what if her hands are tied and she really cant do what she has intended? what if she is simply a pawn in the whole game? what if her nafdac runs were simply a fluke? what if she is too out of touch with nigeria and its numerous yams and issues? what if she is bored and figures her rebranding swan song would make it seem like she is working and thus wont get booted at the next reshuffle? |

Isawa Elaigwu told the launch of the "rebrand Nigeria" campaign he noticed the phone was gone minutes before he was due to address the event. This man’s get’s robbed at a conference in Nigeria, and the image of Nigeria abroad is to blame? He is not even calling for something to be done about the thieves. Lol |
Re: Re-branding: N’assembly Seeks Source Of Funding by Pataki: 1:57am On Mar 18, 2009 |
This thread and postings in it, are all so comical. THE HUNGRY MAN ON THE STREET NEEDS RE-BRANDING. THE YAHOO-YAHOO BOY NEEDS RE-BRANDING. OUR ROAD DEATH HOLES NEEDS RE-BRANDING. THE JOBLESS GRADUATE WITH A FIRST CLASS NEEDS RE-BRANDING. OUR FAILED ELECTRICITY GENERATION NEEDS RE-BRANDING. OUR MONOTONOUS ECONOMY NEEDS RE-BRANDING. Dora should go and get her priorities right! |

Re: Re-branding: N’assembly Seeks Source Of Funding by Nemeziz9ja: 3:20pm On Mar 18, 2009 |
Total misplacement of priorities. @ Omo Ibo: There is no what ifs to the re-branding bullshit. What can bring our economy out of the doldrums is right and sincere economic policies backed by enabling environment and not hiding behind one finger with slogans. |
Re: Re-branding: N’assembly Seeks Source Of Funding by enyojo(f): 3:47pm On Mar 18, 2009 |
Many Nigerian youths lack the basic knowledge about the REBRANDING that Dora is kickstarting. To rebrand Nigeria in this respect is to make Nigerians believe in themselves and in Nigeria. This is the FIRST block in building this country Nigeria into a Nation. For the fact that past leaders drain our resources does not mean present leaders should not utilize our resources any more. Why do we always throw stones on the wrong people? Obj and Frank Iweke jnr and others who ruined the former rebranding efforts are still walking free on our roads. Why attack an innocent Dora? Pataki: Every Nigerian needs this rebranding! Nigerians who cross the boarders and are searched to their private parts need rebranding. The common man on the street who does not believe himself needs rebranding The jobless graduate who doesnt believe in nigeria but is obsessed with traveling out instead of creating jobs needs rebranding. Great corporations and Nations know that everything RISES AND FALLS ON BRAND! |
Re: Re-branding: N’assembly Seeks Source Of Funding by enyojo(f): 3:55pm On Mar 18, 2009 |
let's channel our agitations to the right quarters. |
Re: Re-branding: N’assembly Seeks Source Of Funding by Kobojunkie: 4:08pm On Mar 18, 2009 |
enyojo:Here are some simple and direct questions for you to answer if you believe you have all the basic knowledge of this rebranding knowledge then. And for claims made, please provide source. enyojo:Is the situation in Nigeria due to the fact that Nigerians( average Nigerians) do not believe in themselves? enyojo:This re-branding project is being instituted by the current set of leaders. What makes their strategy so far more trustworthy considering they have yet to do things any different from the way the past leaders have? enyojo:Criticizing their decisions is same as throwing stones at them? Where do you get this mindset from? enyojo:Obj and Frank Iweke jnr, are not the current leaders, are they? They were cricitized during their time, it is now Dora’s turn to be criticized for leading us down the exact path Obj and his team did, also claiming it will magically turn out good, when we have over 20 years of evidence to show otherwise. Is your beloved Dora above criticism? If yes, why is she is in the public sector? enyojo: Simple question here, Why? What exactly about the common man makes you believe he does not believe in himself and why do you believe that instead of maybe asking he see a counselor or psychiatrist, a re-branding slogan will do the trick? enyojo:Why does the jobless graduate not believe in Nigeria? Because it is his fault that he does not have a job? It is his fault that the country is the way it is? How exactly does rebranding help him get a job? enyojo:How many great countries know this? Last I checked, most of the great countries around the world work hard at building up their nation through hardwork and then come out to boast about it, not before. What country today has a good image because of simple brand change? |
Re: Re-branding: N’assembly Seeks Source Of Funding by mustafar1: 4:14pm On Mar 18, 2009 |
enyojo: we would actually channel our agitations to the right quarters if we had access to those quarters. with the swan song being sang for rebranding nigeria, nigerians were asked to present slogans and logos out of which some might be selected and used during this rebranding process. can any of you swan song backers tell me where these ideas would be submitted to? please dont tell me the ministry of information website because i've been there and done that, (by the way the website is as bland as watered down cambells chicken noodle soup.) theres no information on the site giving details into the project, heck they still have the heart of africa bullmanure they claim failed and are trying to replace sitting on there. the link leads to nowhere |
