Sure, but in developed nation, you can't be a Ambassador to the UN without studying anything related to international politics. UN accepts graduate of international relations as interns. Though, am learning German language presently.

I see. You will surely get there.. There is enough grace

Gaddafithe2nd:
I studied Petroleum engineering. If I should go back to school, I would wish to study International relations or an European language like (German, Spanish or French). My aim is to be an ambassador in future.

Must u study those courses to be an ambassador?

ABEOKUTA —Chairman, Senate House Committee on Local Content, Senator Solomon Adeola has explained why the Senate may not pass into law the 2018 appropriation bill presented by President Muhammadu Buhari.
Senate
He declared that the Senate may not pass the budget until March or April, 2018.
Adeola, who represents Lagos West at the Senate, absolved the Senate of delaying the passage of the proposed 2018 budget, accused ministries and departments of refusing to submit documents necessary for passage of the bill.
Addressing newsmen in Ilaro, at the sideline of the end-of-year get-together organised for members and chieftains of the All Progressives Congress, APC, on Wednesday, said Senate would not allow itself to be a rubber stamp for the executive.
Adeola said rather than blaming the Senate, government ministries, agencies and parastatals, should be blamed for failure to provide the necessary documentations and defend their respective financial proposals before the Senate.
Disclosing that members of the Senate had worked round the clock to ensure prompt passage of the budget by December 21, 2017, the lawmaker lamented the lack of sense of urgency by the Federal Government’s agencies in defending their fiscal proposals, to enable the senate pass the budget in record time.
The Senator, however, declared that unless the Senate is provided with documentation, fact and figures to work with, the senate could not just rubber stamp the 2018 budget.
He said: “Let me make some clarification on the issue of the budget. As you can see the last time, we’re trying to work round the clock to ensure that by 31st of December 2017, if possibly for the first time, in our nation’s history we can pass the budget in a record time. But as it were, documentation and facts and figures that we need to buttress all items of transaction both in the recurrent and capital expenditure as contained in that particular document is not given to us by these ministries and the lackadaisical attitude of the various agencies of the government, both the ministries and parastatals, is nothing to write home about.
“Because, it is when they are prepared to defend these documentation, those figures as contained in that document that we can be looking at the record time in passing this budget. Since we don’t have all these documentation and the figures to work with, it will be difficult for us as a National Assembly. We can’t be rubber stamp. The power of the purse is the power that resides with us as the legislature. Yes, the government has submitted their document, their proposal, their policy in numerical term called budget.
“But we have the option to look at these issues critically and analysed if the N7 or N8trillion budget as proposed by the president is achievable or not. And that can only be done if the right documentation, figures are given to us.
“The MTEF had their issues; we are able to overcome the issue of MTEF – the Medium Term Expenditure Framework which we have since passed at the National Assembly.
“But if we are going to pass 2018 budget in a record time, there is need for us to know the performance of 2017 budget. We cannot be pre-emptive. We need to look at the performance upon which we can predicate whatever we are doing with the 2018 budget upon. And if all these documentations are not given to us, there is little or nothing we can do as a National Assembly.
“So, we are hoping the Executive takes this seriously, then look inward and ensure that all necessary documentation that will assist the National Assembly in considering this budget before us should be forwarded to us so that we can work round the clock and give Nigeria this document in a record time maybe by March or April this year.”

The pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere, has said it will support a political party in the 2019 general elections that will be committed to the restructuring of Nigeria.
It, however, berated the All Progressives Congress, APC, for failing to restructure Nigeria despite its promise during the 2015 electioneering campaigns.
National Publicity Secretary of Afenifere, Mr Yinka Odumakin said the 2019 elections will be between pro-unitary and pro-federal supporters saying any political party not committed to restructuring will be wasting its time.
Odumakin said: “Afenifere and its partners are committed to the restructuring of Nigeria. It is now clear that with 11 months to the next general elections and with the government in power not keen on restructuring, it will be the main issue for 2019 general elections.”
The group’s spokesperson, however, said it will work with forces of federalism to prevail.
He said: “The 2019 elections will be between a pro-unitary government and pro-federal government. By God’s grace, we will be working with our partners to ensure that the forces of federalism prevail.
It is not enough for political parties to promise restructuring. The APC promised but if you want to earn our support, they must show evidence, total commitment to the restructuring of Nigeria. Any other thing is waste of time.”
State Of The Nation: Afenifere Restates Call For Restructuring
THE Pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere, has painted a gloomy picture of the state of the nation saying that restructuring remains the panacea to solving the problems facing the country.

The US plans to spend just $25.8bn on foreign aid in 2018, so threats by US President Donald Trump to cut aid to countries that failed to toe United States line on Jerusalem status ended up not dissuading many nations at the United Nations General Assembly from declaring the decision null and void.
An overwhelming 128 states voted in favour and nine against, with 35 abstentions. Another 21 countries did not show up during voting.
Among the countries that abstained from the vote are Canada, Mexico, Rwanda and Uganda. Guatemala, Honduras, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Nauru, Palau and Togo voted against the resolution, alongside the US and Israel.
Was Trump threat the reason for this behaviour at the UNGA? Was the threat an empty one? How much aid does US give to nations to induce them to back the country?
In 2015, broadly defined US foreign assistance totalled approximately $58.6bn and amounted to 1.3 percent of the total federal budget, according to a Congressional Research Service report.
Nearly half of that year’s aid (43 percent) went to bilateral economic development programmes, 35 percent went to military aid and other security assistance, 16 percent was earmarked for humanitarian programmes and six percent went to support multilateral institutions, the report found.
But since taking office last January, the Trump administration has made a concerted effort to slash US foreign aid spending.
In March, in line with the president’s “America First” mantra, the administration announced plans to slash foreign aid by 28 percent for 2018, according to a White House budget document.
The US said it intended to give the Department of State and USAID, the main agency that administers US assistance funding, $25.6bn to distribute for the year, the document states.
The president’s proposed cuts incited pushback from US lawmakers and other officials, however.
More than 120 retired US generals and admirals penned an open letter last February, urging Washington not to cut funds for diplomacy and foreign aid.
In April, more than three dozen US Senators, including a few Republicans, said any cuts to foreign assistance were “counterproductive”.
Ultimately, the US has budgeted to spend $25.8bn on foreign aid next year, according to a federal government website that tracks US spending, FederalAssistance.gov.
Washington plans to give Israel $3.1bn for 2018, making it the largest recipient of US aid, followed by Egypt ($1.38bn) and Jordan ($1bn).
But a large portion of US aid comes in the form of what is called Foreign Military Financing (FMF), or the ability to purchase US-made weapons, military services or defence training. FMF may be administered as a loan or a grant.
All $3.1bn the US intends to give Israel next year will be in the form of FMF, for example.
By contrast, the amount of US aid requested for 2018 for the West Bank and Gaza Strip totals $251m, according to another report by the Congressional Research Service (CRS).
Lebanon ($104m), Yemen ($35m), Iraq ($348m), Syria ($191m), Tunisia ($55m), Morocco ($16m), Libya ($31m), Oman ($3.5m), Algeria ($1.8m) and Bahrain ($800,000) are all set to receive considerably smaller amounts.
Earlier this year, the Trump administration also proposed a 12 percent cut “of overall bilateral aid to the Middle East and North Africa”, largely by ending FMF grants to Bahrain, Iraq, Lebanon, Morocco, Oman and Tunisia, the CRS report stated.
Juan Cole, history professor at the University of Michigan, has questioned whether Trump’s threat truly had an effect on the results.
“The US doesn’t give out much aid, and therefore can’t hold it over the heads of many other countries. The aid it does give out is for establishing US influence,” Cole wrote on his blog, Informed Comment, ahead of Thursday’s vote.
Cole said punishing countries like Egypt, which voted in favour of the General Assembly draft resolution and sponsored an earlier motion at the UN Security Council to condemn the US’ Jerusalem decision, “would likely simply diminish US standing at the UN and with the countries it woos by charity”.
“The Egyptian government has more military helicopters than it knows what to do with, and they’re just stacked in warehouses. So the money actually went to US arms manufacturers, and Egypt gets a fairly useless shiny military toy. Trump would be hurting US corporations more than Egypt if he cut it off.”
Without US influence in the form of foreign aid, countries like China and Russia might step in, he added.
“I very much doubt anyone will pay attention to Trump’s threats.”
According to Rashid Khalidi, the Edward Said professor of Arab Studies at Columbia University, the Trump administration has, over the last few weeks, ushered in “the end of 50 years of American dominance of the so-called peace process”.
“It’s a self-mutilation of a much-abused American role as mediator,” Khalidi told Al Jazeera just before the General Assembly vote.
“The US has brilliantly isolated itself, even more than was the case before, with Trump’s action,” Khalidi said.
Raed Jarrar, advocacy and government relations director for the Middle East at Amnesty International USA, echoed Khalidi.
“The Trump administration’s bullying tactics will only serve to further isolate the United States on the global stage,” Jarrar said in a statement.
“Rather than threatening those who depend on US aid, the Trump administration should abide by its legal obligations not to recognise an illegal situation and reverse its course on Jerusalem.”
