THE Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs has begun the screening of Ambassadorial nominees forwarded to the Senate by President Muhammadu Buhari.

There was, however, drama as two of the nominees, who appeared before the Senator Monsurat Sunmonu-led committee could not recite properly stanzas of the National Anthem and the Pledge.

One of the nominees, Vivian Okeke, from Anambra State failed when she was asked to sing the National Anthem.

During her screening, Mrs Okeke was asked by Monsurat Summonu, the chairman of the committee, to sing the National Anthem. Mrs Okeke during the recital, mumbled the last stanza of the National Anthem but was aided by a member of the committee, Senator James Manager.

She was the first nominee to be screened of the 47 ambassadorial nominees.

However, the nominee said the three major changes that should be made must be in the area of fighting corruption, insurgency and diversification of the economy.

She also said that returnees should be received when the country puts in effort, even as she stressed the need for the country to look into the area of financing and salary payments.

Is anything wrong in not being able to recite the national anthem properly?

Not surprised, even alot of Senators and Hon. Members including executive members will fail it as well. To them the money matters than the Anthem. Pathetic!

I just want to believe most of the E-ethnic wars are simply for fun and not seriously meant instead of going to demand immediate sack of the legislathieves. I actually laugh a lot reading some of the comments.

That said, have you guys considered the possibility of these nominees not being familiar with the lyrics of the national anthem adopted in 1978? It might not be an excuse for an ambassadorial nominee but I didn't think it is a loyalty song that will enable them handle their portfolios accordingly and at the end of the day, they are only humans.

Personally, I prefer "Nigeria we hail thee..."

Why didn't they ask her to sing the Biafran national anthem? This fine lady is probably more patriotic than the thieving members of the NASS who are asking her to recite a song as a vetting mechanism. Clowns. embarassed

Why wld she recite the national anthem of a country that she was forced to join,mind you,reciting the national anthem is like pledging allegiance to Nigeria....kudos to our true daughter,when the time comes,we no where we belong.

Was she forced to apply for the post of Ambassador too? The last time I checked, anybody can offer someone anything, but the prerogative to accept the offer lies independently in oneself.

Please stop reasoning through anus.

Why don't they move it to the fp??

I saw them lump ALL NORTHERNERS together and called them "parasitic illiterates" simply because ONE OF THEM failed to recite the anthem. Now, I ask those incorrigible spiteful good for nothing sons of Baal, would it be wise if we applied the same logic to the ENTIRE SOUTH EAST since ONE OF THEM has also failed to recite the anthem??

What a mess of a people. What a disgrace to humanity.

Tufiakwa!!
truth be told, ibos are jus unbelievable.
