Who Is Josephine Anenih And What Are Her Credentials? by mekusxxx: 4:19am On Mar 29, 2010
Other than being Mr fixer Anenih's wife or is it ex-wife, and coming from Anambra, which is in a part of Nigeria where women are known to excel, what are the credentials of Josephine Anenih to warrant her nomination as a minister?

You don't need any credential in Nigeria, all you need is connection.

Thanks. Could you elaborate on the subject of her PhD degree. Below is what I found on her by googling

''Josephine Anenih

Mrs. Josephine Anenih has been a long time female activist and an ardent politician. Mrs. Anenih was a chairwoman of the Federation of Women Lawyers from 1994-2001 and the first National Woman Leader of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from 1999-2005. As the National Woman Leader of PDP, she created gender sensitive and inclusive party policies and worked with other female politicians across party lines to tackle the problems faced by all female politicians irrespective of their party affiliation. Mrs. Anenih has also co-founded Women Foundation Nigeria (WFN), an organization that creates opportunities for Nigerian women to network on global women’s issues and works to empower women to participate in politics.

Mrs. Anenih is a member of the IRI WDN Advisory Board and a member of the Gender Electoral and Constitutional Memoranda Committee (GEM), which works Parliamentarians on an Electoral Reform aimed at incorporating women’s perspective in Nigeria's Electoral Laws.'' http://www.iknowpolitics.org/en/node/486

In what way?
Re: Who Is Josephine Anenih And What Are Her Credentials? by 006(m): 12:08am On Mar 30, 2010
I don't search tire oo. I no see any reference to Josephine Anenih, pHD.
But she's qualified to serve as a minister because she is a lawyer.

You cannot judge her qualifications in a vacuum. Being a lawyer does not qualify her to head just any and every ministry at random. Your qualifications and experience should be relevant to the job.
Re: Who Is Josephine Anenih And What Are Her Credentials? by nex(m): 12:22am On Mar 30, 2010
The basic qualification anyone needs to become a Minister is to have a PDP membership card.

Unfortunately, lawyers hardly become CEOs if that's what you expected.

Well it is beleived that her relationship as the wife of Anenih has actually been a disadvantage to her political career, and she would have been a govenor or the vice president if she was to be judged by her individual contribution to PDP and the Nigerian women and politics in general. She has missed many appointments and even elctives (senator) due to the fact that she is Mrs Anenih.

I have met her on various occassions, and all I have to say is that she is a great woman. Below is a more detailed bio of her (searched for info on google):


Josephine Nwogo Anenih (nee Akubude) was born 6th July 1948 in Sokoto state and hails from Awka south, Anambra state. After a primary education she proceeded to Queens college Yaba, Lagos after which she went to the Midwest institute for a secretarial diploma and then to University of Ife for a degree in education (Bed).

She then went to the University of Benin and bagged a a degree in Law(LLB)  and then the Nigerian Law School.

She also has a diploma from the freedom bible college and the prestigious MNI from the national institute for policy and strategic studies Kuru, Jos.



She was the chairperson of the Federation of Women Lawyers from 1994 to 2000, and was the first National Woman Leader of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) from 1999-2005.

She co-founded the Women Foundation Nigeria, an organization to help Nigerian women exchange views on global women's issues and to help empower women in politics. She is a member of the Gender Electoral and Constitutional Memoranda Committee, which aims to incorporate women's perspectives in Nigeria's Electoral Laws

She was a Special Adviser on Women Affairs to President Obasanjo until 2006

She has a total commitment and dedication to the growth and development of the nation through the complete utilization of her skill, experience and knowledge. She hopes to achieve this through the application of more than 30 years worth of direct experience at diverse levels in legal, commercial, humanitarian and political affairs, in public and private arenas both in Nigeria and internationally.
