Lol. Making up excuses i see.

I don't make excuses. We can't rule out the possibility of such scenarios our politics is still growing we are not like other first world countries whose foreign department head is a career diplomat

We will get there someday but now let us work with what we have. Afterall when jonathan was busy appointing area boys and looters as diplomatic heads we no hear anything ooo

The Appointment Mr Geoffrey Onyeama is a deft move by Buhari to cut down and reduce the political velocity of the Biafra Movement, what a move, Biafra man speaking against the Biafra Cause at both local and international fora.

This is an intimidating profile. It makes me look as if I didn't attend a university. grin grin

Chineke meee!!

God bless Mr. President Jare! You know how to get the good brains to run your government.


Lalasticlala,come and see profile o! You go fear na! grin
What is intimidating here?
Go and check other countries foreign affair ministers and see their resume.
Many of them have decades of experience in conflicts resolution, UN foreign policy formulation, and with the added advantage of a nobel peace prize.
This is pretty mediocre, though for Nigerian standards may be intimidating.

What do you mean by " we will get there on day" " let us work with what we have"? Are there no career diplomats in Nigeria? Is it because of insufficient experts or lack of political common sense

My dear working in a foreign mission is not the definition of a 'career diplomat'. any one who has worked for an international governmental organization or International non-governmental organization qualifies to be called a career diplomat.

Okonji Iweala is a Harvard graduate and a former world bank vice president. Aganga was a fortune 500 C.E.O, DIEZANI was a executive officer in Shell Nigeria. So what are you saying.

True story. No need to be partisan. PDP had a very smart cabinet - under all 3 presidents. I think d last cabinet of gej had a lot more technocrats and better cv's dn buharis cabinet. Its actually a fact. And it was some of d pdp ministers dt were corrupt. It wasnt all of them. I personally believe okonjo iweala was not a corrupt woman.

I just pray for this cabinet dt they can move d country through this economic craziness & oil price wahala. It would also be inteesting to see whether more local cv's trump international experience in d long run. Some times sheer passion and will trumps all d experience and education in d world. I hope this will be d case and not a disaster waiting to happen.

No ur wrong. Working in intl governmental organizations or ngo's is not what makes u a diplomat. I could be an accountant working for the UN. The operative word is "diplomacy". Its all about negotiations, conflict resolution & having d sweetest poker face. There are people dt actually do all dt for a living. And they work in government, ngos, intl organizations & big multinational companies.

Only a dumbass moronic monkey will precipitate a war on group of people who simply want a different country from the existing zoo called Nigeria. The IPOB are not twin brothers and sisters to the rest of bloody Nigerians. Even if the IPOB are twins to rest of Nigerian, you agree that at a certain point in life twins usually go their separate ways. Mere agitation for independent nation does not engender war among people of average intellect.

So if you work as a liaison office between an IGO or an INGO that doesn't make you a diplomat right? "operative word"

No it doesnt. Ur just a liaison officer. But it doesnt really matter. You dont have to be a career diplomat to have those skills. Anyone can develop them depending on their normal functions. I get what d other poster is saying but you dont have to have a specific career in diplomacy to be in charge of the ministry of foreign affairs. Hillary clinton is a lawyer by training and had no diplomatic experience before becoming secretary of state of the united states.

So, in short, Someone with little diplomatic experience is heading the foreign ministry
Is it until he writes diplomat in his cv that u will know? Most of his appointments were representing Africa and recently United Nations along with countless NGOs, a certified attorney, studied in the US & UK in the 80s.. I think his diplomatic enough!!! If u don't find his cv awesome den u are jealous!!! Chineke me!!!
Then again we had such technocrats in the last admin.. undecided
