@henri4uall , sorry but can you translate into common english what you just posted?

meetnoedig:

everything na still PDP fault o.

No person shall be appointed as a Minister of the Government of the Federation unless he is qualified for election[/b]as a member of the House of Representatives.

so I ask you who is 'qualified' for election?

Whether Dora is in health, finance, Information or whatever, she will function in accordance with the policy direction and agenda of the Government that appoints her. I know a journalist with Thisday Newspapers those days, I used to read his column regularly, Olusegun Adeniyi. His articles were always in opposition to Government. You would change your opinion on any issue if you read his articles. Today, Olusegun Adeniyi is Yar-Adua Spokesman. He's the mouth-piece of the president. Yar-Adua must have seen him and thought; rather than using your talent to run my government down, come use it to lift me up. Yar-Adua appointed prof dora Information minister, beacause he's obviuosly looking from where a lot of you could not see. No Crime

@ henry4uall

I really wonder "what  instinct, zeal, honesty, and thoroughness in dealing with those problems used in NAFDAC" will do in her new post. We are all concern about her personality after all she knows less to nothing about this new post. Get me clear, what you've stated is quiet right but not in this game. For how long would she be able to prove her true qualities without doing it 'their' own way. She can do it but she will definately be manipulated even against her own wish.

“What I will tell them (supporters that were disappointed with her portfolio) about my posting is that anything that happens in this life is approved by God. Nothing happens without God’s approval.

“God wants me to be here today and I can feel it because Nigeria’s image needs to be revived”, she said, adding that with a bad image, “we cannot achieve Vision 2020-20”.

Akunyili also said that her new role was much more vital than most people understand.

“Where I am now is the soul of the nation, image is the soul of the nation and information is power.

“I believe that God will give me the skill to present it successfully; [b]after all when I went to NAFDAC, I did not know anything about NAFDAC. But I wanted to succeed,” she said, [/b]adding that if things were done the right way, “Nigeria is a good product that we can easily sell.”

“Nigerians should also do their part by doing their best as citizens”, she added.

For how long would she be able to prove her true qualities without doing it 'their' own way. She can do it but she will definately be manipulated even against her own wish.

What do technocrats in nigeria civil service do? Sit in da office and gist because ''na govt work''. And tell me how the minister is supposed to know whether a report submitted by a so-called ''technocrat'' is accurate or just something to fill the books? Ministers should be well-informed and experienced in the position they are to fill. If the govt of nigeria is not mocking us, we should even be discussing this.

You will understand me well if you could understand the simplest fact that all the achievements of Prof Dora in NAFDAC is not a result of her Ph.D certificate in Phamacology or whatever. You could be 'well-informed' and experience and make a mess of your position (4get!). Prof didn't succeed in NAFDAC because of her certificates in phamacology, she succeeded because of her instinct, zeal, honesty, and thoroughness in dealing with those problems in NAFDAC. And all am saying is that, she can be anywhere and still function well. She's got the instinct for leadership (believe it!). Try to separate her from her certificate may be it will help you!

Under whatever disguise it may be, it is not good enough for a "pastor" to take politics to the pulpit.

denex:

This shows that Nigeria is not ready for this Democracy thing at all. We don't even know how democracy works.

Etteh does not have the power to stay in the House of Representatives without the support of the majority of her constituency. I have mentioned earlier that this woman is in the House by the grace of the majority vote of the people of Ayedaade/Isokan/Irewole Federal Constituency of Osun state.

The fact that they still keep her there means that she is acting very much in accordance with their wishes. As long as they are satisfied with her actions, there is nothing we can do to remove her from the House of Representatives.

As for her remaining speaker, she doesnt have that power. All we need to do is call on our own Representatives and order them to impeach her or vote her out from the position of Speaker.

I really can't understand what this whole fuss is about.
