Pifa:
I was beginning to praise the Vice President until I read the reason the two ministers gave for their tardiness. If the newspaper reported correctly that t[b]he ministers were informed minutes before the meeting[/b], then I'd have to disagree that it showed Mr. Jonathan's discipline. I thought it was insensitive and disrespectful to [b]give a minister just ten minutes to arrive [/b]at an unscheduled meeting that was not a state emergency.

I would imagine that ministers have daily itineraries and are not just sitting on their rear waiting to be called at the VP’s behest. Even the CEO of my company would have his secretary schedule a meeting with me based on my availability. If he always had to summon me 10 minutes before an unscheduled meeting, then he had to realize that I would be either late or I would keep interrupting important projects to attend to him.

And you believe that crap?
