The minestarial nominations are closely watched by all - foreign and local and will be a major indication of the strategy, approach and steer of the FG

It will be one of the initial indicators of whether or not we are going to get the much awaited and publicised 'Fresh Air'
More than anything i am hopeful. 
It will be good to get a clear view of each nominee, their portfoilio and their profile so that we know from the onset  the  'Fresh Air' Team.  I will start with our new Minister of Aviation -Princess Stella Oduah-Ogiemwonyi

The profile has been courtesy wikipedia and i have tried to stay away from controvesial issues/reports as it will be beneficial to look at the list objectively.
I think more emphasis will be placed on the new appointees

Prof Rqqayyatu Rufai- Education – could not get a full profile but from what I have read so far she is well qualified to lead the Education Ministry
Shamsudeen Usman –National Planning Ministry

Labaran Maku - Information and Communication

We eagerly await the rest of the team

The post below was copied from the SR website . Will wait till the list is made official before i comment. However i am beginning doubt my understanding of the english language as surely nothing so far, and definately not the list below looks anything like 'Fresh Air'.

SaharaReporters today obtained a full list of 40 ministerial nominees to be sent to the Senate on Tuesday by Nigeria's leader, Goodluck Jonathan.
It contains names from the six geo-political zones of the Nigerian federation and is part of a cabinet of 44 with which our sources say Jonathan hopes to kick-start his new administration.

These 40 names are to be added to names of a few ministers to be known as "super-ministers" that might include Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, who is still negotiating with Mr. Jonathan for a jumbo ministry and, some sources say, salary. The name of Henry Odein Ajumogobia, the former Minister of Foreign Affairs did not appear on the original list but sources say he is still being considered.

SaharaReporters also learnt that Mrs. Stella Odua-Ogiemwonyi , who served as Jonathan's personal treasurer during the last election, and who appears on this list at number four, will likely become the Minister of Aviation while the discredited People's Democratic Party former deputy chair and Siemens’ bribetaker, Bello Haliru Mohammed, is penciled for the juicy Ministry of Defence.

Dr. Mohammed Pateh will likely run the Ministry of Health while Senator Bala Mohammed, who is said to be a close associate of Jonathan's wife, will head the Ministry responsible for the Federal Capital Territory.

Elder Godsday Orubebe will head back to the Niger Delta ministry, and Mohammed Bello Adoke will return to his old post as Attorney General and Minister of Justice just as Mrs. Ruqqayat Rufai will resume her position at the Ministry of education.

Mrs Dieziani Allison-Madueke, the controversial Minister of Petroleum Resources, who has severally ben accused of massive corruption in the oil industry, has also reportedly retained that post.

BY Sahara Reporters

@ Noblezone

Before I say anything, let me just point out that im female. Also the main purpose was to get people's views, and educate each other by sharing our views/ opinions etc.
I think its is very disappointing that it is diffuclt to express differing opinions without word slinging and insults. We need to progressive. It’s a simple question , I was kind of hoping I will be educated with ALL opinions expressed.
My comments are below .

Mr POSTER!

You are either a commedian, a mischief maker or simply an innocent ignorant soul.
I am neither a comedian or mischief maker I think the forum is open to every , you could have ignored the post rather you took time out to extensively contribute. You seem to have already decided am ignorant _ why ask again?

1. The unfortunate incident with NYSC corpers
The Jihardist "North" has been maiming, Desecrating and killing fellow Nigerians from "before" ONE Nigeria was found? Please, have you heard about the Usman Dan Fodio and the slaughters that lked to the spread of Islam?

Some poeple were calling for "violence" even before the elections and such peopel are not harrassed by the govt simply because the President is a gentle man and more so, people like you are going to call for his head if he dares touch them. Don't remind of my the pains of the Reinhard Bonnke roits, or Akaluka's head on a spike paradded on streets of Kano because a woman in the same yard used a torn Koran to clean here baby. N o just make me vex o.

- My comment What was the resposnse when the NYSC corpers ran into the police station, was there any instant response to address the reports when they came in? Also was there not intel gathered

2. Kidnap of NYSC corpers

Kinapping has been going since the days of OBJ its only a pity that it happened to Corp members. Is has nothing to do with who is in charge.

3. That kidnappings happen the whole of Nigeria and not  the Niger Delta anymore ( and now to Nigerians - young and old)
Kidnapping spread from ND even before OBJ was forced out. It escalated during Yaradua, abi you just return?

My comment -Yes , and it is evermore present now and on the constant increase and it is to anyone. It links to the current state of security.
4. The oils spills and the inability of the govt to ensure the compensation is right, remedial action is taken and that the money actually gets to those affected. This is despite the fact that our President is from the region and has also been in state govt so he should know the issues by heart.

hahahaha (my ribs e, kai, my ribs). did you say oil spills? Please, have you heard of Ken Sarowiwa? Of how why and how he died? Please, google oo. I say, google ooo.
My comment -I know the story but does that mean it should continue – who bases their actions of inability of the past? I would have thought it would have been at the forefront of his mind to address those issues. Afterall he was in on the Amnesty program?

5. Boko Haram - has metermophed into a group of intelligent, educated peeple ( see latest press release from them) as opposed to initial police intel of a sharia sect .

OBJ no fit stop Boko Haram, eveen yaradua who is both from the North and a moslem could do nothing. George Bush could stop Al Qaeda (or whatever) neither could he catch Bin Laden, and you are hear to call names on a man who who took oath of office just three weeks ago.
My comment -I don’t remember any name calling , do you? See my statement. Did Obama rest even though he prev president didn’t catch osama?
Besides the war on terrorism was initiated straight away

6. The fact that it took MR President over 24 hours to address the nation following the Police HQ bomb and assure Nigerians of their security.

It is wisdom to think before you speak than to spoeak before you think.  
My comment -If your relative was affected will you take that? Look to other parts of the world is that the norm?

7. The increased armed robbery in banks

Armed robbery in Banks? You are so hilarious! Plz, just google "Lawrence Anini Monday bank". They were robbing banks as far back as 1986.
My comment -Again see my comment for number 4[/b]8. Bombings has now become a common occurence in Nigeria ( all over even those not detonated - Ogun) as well various bomb scares

Why wont bomb become a common thing? When poeple like you are not taking up their responsibilties of nation building. Thank God they stopped some, thank God they intercepted some at the ports. Thank God, a bomb factory at Kaduna was discovered and closed. Thank God bombers and would bees are being arrested. I just thank God.
[b]My coment -Who are people like me? How am I responsible for the bombing? Can you please educate as it seems you are ‘nation building’

9. That a U turn was made about the PDP 'zoning ' policy  and the fracas that ensued in the House You can celebrate the 'fracas" as much as you like, but oine thing I know is this. I personally looked at all the conterstants and Mr President was the best option for me, zoning or no Zoning. As for the so called "fracas", good things will come out it.
My comment - you did not address the point
10. That will be a month next week and the cabinet is still not in place. - We are already seeing signs of recycling in the name being mentioned - will wait for outcome.
It is wisdom to take your time and get it right, than to hurry and mget it wrong. Foru years is not four days, its good to take time to pick the people. If he hurried, you'll complain. As he is taking his time, you are aslo complaining. Them send you?
My Comment - If your loved one was involved will you take that , it that how things are done in the world ?

11. The consistent decline in electricity generation. - We all know NO economy can grow without power
Is has improved my area. Yet, Power genration and distrubtion cannot be achieved under one month. Okay?
My comment - Yes sir ‘ Okay’

12. Bankole - His ability to resist arrest and still  have security staff assigned to him , our President quoted as referring to him as a key supporter and didnt want anyone spreading rumours. Also the fact that he was only arrested when GEJ was to meet Obama ( he has now been released and since then we havent heard anything else)
I once wathed a movie called "Conspiracy theory". You can wirte and produce the Nigerian version.
My comment - again you didn’t address the issue

13. The take by legislators to increase wages when the 18000 minimu wage cant even be paid ( never mind the fact that there is great concern about their current wages and the recent missappropriation case)

My comment - You mean you are blaming Mr President for the irresponsiblity of our (dis)honourable representatives? You must be a clown.

MY comment - I have never worked as a clown , might attempt it -. But Mr President can interfere in other matters regarding the legislators abi?

To all my fellow Nairalanders that voted /supported GEJ do you think you made the right decision?

Yes, yes, yes ,  and yes. a million times.

Now if you don't mind, use google. okay?
My comment - Thanks you have answered my question. What has google got to do with getting people’s opinion? This is a forum. Thanks

Following the elecetions , there was so much hype about how GEJ is 'different' , 'fresh' , 'a good man' in fact the most people used to say ' i voted GEJ and not PDP' - do you still really think so?
The fact that he is a returning president also means things should be carried out faster.

Already all sorts of events have started to unfold:



1. The unfortunate incident with NYSC corpers

2. Kidnap of NYSC corpers

3. That kidnappings happen the whole of Nigeria and not  the Niger Delta anymore ( and now to Nigerians - young and old)

4. The oils spills and the inability of the govt to ensure the compensation is right, remedial action is taken and that the money actually gets to those affected. This is despite the fact that our President is from the region and has also been in state govt so he should know the issues by heart.

5. Boko Haram - has metermophed into a group of intelligent, educated peeple ( see latest press release from them) as opposed to initial police intel of a sharia sect .

6. The fact that it took MR President over 24 hours to address the nation following the Police HQ bomb and assure Nigerians of their security.

7. The increased armed robbery in banks

8. Bombings has now become a common occurence in Nigeria ( all over even those not detonated - Ogun) as well various bomb scares

9. That a U turn was made about the PDP 'zoning ' policy  and the fracas that ensued in the House

10. That will be a month next week and the cabinet is still not in place. - We are already seeing signs of recycling in the name being mentioned - will wait for outcome.

11. The consistent decline in electricity generation. - We all know NO economy can grow without power

12. Bankole - His ability to resist arrest and still  have security staff assigned to him , our President quoted as referring to him as a key supporter and didnt want anyone spreading rumours. Also the fact that he was only arrested when GEJ was to meet Obama ( he has now been released and since then we havent heard anything else)

13. The take by legislators to increase wages when the 18000 minimu wage cant even be paid ( never mind the fact that there is great concern about their current wages and the recent missappropriation case)

To all my fellow Nairalanders that voted /supported GEJ do you think you made the right decision?

@poster can i just say be careful. my husbands friend has lived with us for over 2 years and i have never asked him to help me put any jewellery on, not because i have not been in a position where i needed help and he is the only one at home, but because i don't want to make him uncomfortable.

if it was my own friend ( a guy) then its diffrent. This doesn't mean we dont gist and talk .

Also i assume she knocked on the door, why did u say come in' when you knew u had only a 'short' towel on infact why did you say 'come in' when u had only a towel on period!

@lucabrasi i cant agree with you more. my transition to naija has taken me 2 years and i am now finally making the move now. I believe it the right thing for me. the 2yrs has enabled me set the right expectations for my self, understand limitations, do away with ideals and embrace reality.

i want to do my NYSC because i want to tick that box and have the certificate. i have also started my own business and have some other things in the pipeline.
Loads of opportunities in naija, but its tough to break through.
goodluck !!!!

NYSC is pretty straight forward for foreign graduates. you need to go the the nysc office in the state ( before it was abuja) The website has all the details about what you will need

You will need the help of someone based in nigeria though and you will need to go down there to submit and all .

i am UK based , moving back to nigeria in august , i am hoping to do the 'C ' batch of NYSC in Oct . If you need to any other info you can drop me a line t.adesemowo@gmail.com

My journey of trying to move back started 2 years ago , its finally becoming reality . ticket bought , date set , im now counting down , sit everyday at my desk day dreaming . i ve got loads of friends who have moved back ( few have had to come back to the Uk though- naija is tough.

anyways good luck

Political Experts in the House Your view on Mr Presidents 1st appointment is welcome; What signals are being sent forward with this appointment ?

CULLED FROM THIS DAY

Anyim Pius Anyim, Former Senate President


The speculation and lobbying over who would become the next Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) ended Monday with the appointment of former Senate President Anyim Pius Anyim into the position regarded as “prime minister” in some circles.

This confirms THISDAY report last week that the former Senate President was being strongly considered for the position, with former Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, being also tipped to return to the cabinet if the discussions go well.

And while General Andrew Owoye Azazi retained his position as National Security Adviser, the cabinet was finally dissolved by President Goodluck Jonathan a few days after he told his ministers to carry on until the appointment of new ones.

Anyim, who now replaces Alhaji Yayale Ahmed will be sworn in Tuesday at the Council Chambers, Presidential Villa in Abuja, at noon.

The statement issued by the Director of Information in the Presidency, Musa Aduwak, said: "President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has approved the appointment of Senator Anyim Pius Anyim as the Secretary to the Government of the Federation. He will be sworn in on Tuesday, 31st May, 2011 at the Executive Council Chambers at 12 noon.

"Also, President Jonathan has approved the re-appointment of General O. A. Azazi as the National Security Adviser.”

Anyim, born on February 19, 1961, was Senate President under Obasanjo from 2000 to 2003, sought to become the national chairman of the PDP in 2007 but the governors rooted for and installed Prince Vincent Ogbulafor instead.

In the heat of the failure of former President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua to transmit a vacation letter to the National Assembly when he went for medical treatment in Saudi Arabia in 2009, Anyim led a delegation of 41 eminent Nigerians to the federal legislature calling on Yar’Adua to send the letter so that Jonathan, who was then vice-president, could be made acting president.

Also Monday, Jonathan formally dissolved his cabinet, saying their letters showed that their appointments ended on May 29, 2011, even though he had asked them to continue till the next cabinet is formed.

In the statement also signed by Aduwak, he said the president thanked them for their cooperation and asked them to be available when called for service to the country at any time.

The statement read: "In accordance with the appointment letters of members of the Federal Executive Council, Special Advisers, Senior Special Assistants, Special Assistants, and other political appointees, their appointments ended on May 29th, 2011. This brings to a close the former administration, and marks the beginning of the new one.

"The President thanked all the outgoing ministers, advisers and assistants and other political appointees for their service to the nation. He particularly lauded their patriotism and dedication, and wished them God's blessings in their future endeavours.

"The President called on them to always see themselves as partners in progress with the new administration, stating that the Federal Government would from time to time draw from their repository of knowledge in steering the ship of state."

The dissolution of the cabinet has effectively resolved constitutional issues raised by some lawyers over the validity of their continued stay in office beyond the life of the last administration which terminated on Sunday.

Lagos lawyer, Mr Festus Keyamo, Monday raised a legal puzzle on the non-dissolution of the Federal Executive Council, describing it as illegal and unconstitutional.

Keyamo, in a statement made available to THISDAY, said the continuous stay in offices by the ministers amounts to a fresh appointment by the president which needs the approval of the Senate in accordance with Section 147(2) of the 1999 Constitution as amended.

The section states: “Any appointment to the office of Minister of the Government of the Federation shall, if the nomination of any person to such office is confirmed by the Senate, be made by the President.”

He stated that anything short of this will amount to a progression in illegality and unconstitutionality.

He stated that if this anomaly was no immediately corrected, all official actions performed by the ministers after the fresh oath of office by the President would be null and void.

Supporting Keyamo’s argument, Chief Emeka Ngige (SAN) said beginning from Monday, any minister found in his or her office would be deemed to have breached the constitution.

He argued that ministers are supposed to go with the government that appointed them and that since the current ministers were appointed by President Jonathan to serve an administration that ended May 29, 2011, their reappointments would be subject to Senate’s confirmation.

Ngige also argued that apart from the fact that Jonathan was starting a fresh tenure, which requires that all his ministers whether old or new be screened afresh, the National Assembly is equally new and replete with new members.

But constitutional lawyer, Dr. Joseph Nwobike (SAN), disagreed with the views of Keyamo, saying  since the constitution does not have fixed tenure for ministers like the office of the president, and governors, it means that no law prevents them from continuing in office if the president so desires.

Nwobike argued that since the ministers had already been screened by the Senate, a fresh oath of office by the president should not prevent them from performing their duties as ministers as long as the President has not sacked them.

He stated that it is only those who were not in the cabinet before that need to appear before the senate for screening and not those already serving.

Corroborating Nwobike’s submission, another lawyer, Fabian Ajogwu (SAN), faulted Keyamo, saying that he may have confused Section 151 (3) of the Constitution which deals with the appointment of Special Advisers Section 147(2).

Ajogwu noted that under Section 151 (3), any appointment made pursuant to the provisions of this section shall be at the pleasure of the president and shall cease when he ceases to hold office.

He stated that there was nowhere in the constitution where it was stated that once a minister is appointed, his or her tenure has a fixed duration and has to be re-screened by the senate.

He contended that it is only new ministers that need to appear before the senate for screening and not the old ones.

Also, an Owerri-based legal practitioner, Donald Dewingwe (SAN) in his contribution, faulted Keyamo, saying that there was no provision in the constitution that stops the president from retaining a minister or asking any of them to continue in office.

i hardly post replies but i'ii make an exception here.

@ y'all bashing the lady

have  u all  thought for a moment that the woman in question could be a bit mentally unstable it takes a mind that suffers a degree of insanity to resort to such means just to have an audience or whatever else with the guy.

methinks she is not alright and in fact needs medical assessment to verify her sanity level. asides star stalking is a relatively boring topic, happens all the time and only becomes a sensational news when something really negative happens.

her nationality in this case is really unimportant, she is acting in her personal capacity and this in anyway shouldnt be used to judge nigerian women.

get a life people, this is such not 'news' nigeria is going through quite a lot now what with the rioting and killings in the north, the last thing that should  make front page news  now shouldnt be about a  perhaps mentally ill woman stalking her favorite football star!

@ poster

i do not see anywhere in the article she is identified as a nigerian, the report  was made based on a woman stalking football star and not a nigerian woman stalking a football star!

@ faithup - thank you . there are stalkers everywhere - u dont see people of those nationalies start shouting  i.e british people shouting about a brit stalker , besides she is referred to as a british woman. Na wa for us , just like the generation before us quick to judge and point fingers and not being able to think outside the box , thats why u have in naija people with learning difficulties termed as stupid and unserious because they are surrounded by ignorant adults

Any if you have any friends/relatives in Nigeria that may needs tcketing service please direct them to alpha travels for a quote and they can compare this with other optioins.


thanks

@justwise-  i was taken aback by your comment on scamming . You have never had any dealings with me so how have you come to that conclusion. I always tell people not everyone that is Nigerian is a scammer. Ar you Nigerian? If yes are you a scammer?

I also wonder when ignorant people post certain things but surely not a seasoned poster like u? ( looking at the number of posts you made)

People all over the world do not believe in us and we too dont believe in each other i wonder what hope we have. I havent asked anybody for money , neither have i offered services that were not requested. Visa processing is not illegal and i am sure you know that visa to the Midlle East is mainly coordinated by your travel agent.
My email shows i have a domain , i havent supplied a yahoo, gmail etc address. we all advocate freedom of speech , system of governace etc but at the same time do we practise it?
