Release maazi nnandi kanu them make him d head of the south east development commission most of our politicians go retire
Nnamdi Kanu doesn't have a single shop in the East. His father didn't have a single plaza in the East.
Kanu doesn't have any investment in the East but he's the one you think will develop the East.
Na so.

Whoever saw this boy and took him to lead this commission had a very wicked heart towards the people the commission was meant to serve.

Have you noticed a trend? Whenever they claim they want to "give the youths a chance," they usually go for the least qualified, but make sure the person has one or two degrees from outside the country, and they sell the certificate as the qualification above all others.

With not even one formal experience, apart from being a boy-boy to politicians, just because he has an overseas degree, he was made to head a commission that could determine the pace of a whole region in respect to development.
You are very ignorant about Mark Okoye, he's one of Nigeria's brilliant minds, a US-trained professional and senior member of investment banking at Afrinvest.
He burst onto the Nigerian political scene in 2012 when, at 26, he was appointed Senior Special Assistant on Investments to then-Governor Mr. Peter Obi. In this role, he played a central part in attracting investments to the state, including SabMiller and African Capital Alliance, which funded the construction of Onitsha Mall.

At 30, Mark was appointed Commissioner for Economic Planning, Budget, and Development Partners by former Governor Chief Willie Obiano of Anambra State, becoming Nigeria's youngest commissioner at the time. His economic stimulus package helped Anambra navigate Nigeria's financial meltdown during the presidency of Late Muhammadu Buhari which affected many states paying workers salaries. Under his watch, Anambra was one of only nine states out of 36 states in Nigeria that did not request for federal bailout.

Mark played a foundational role in establishing the Anambra State Investment Promotion and Protection Agency (ASIPPA), which has attracted numerous investments to the state, including Lyden Farm Igbariam, MP Infrastructure's Millennium City Awka, Golden Tulip Agulu, Omma Motors, and Sundry Foods, which, through a public-private partnership with Anambra state government under Gov Soludo, built Awka Mall. Mark was appointed by current governor of Anambra state Prof Charles Soludo as managing director of Anambra State Investments Promotion and Protection Agency (ASIPPA) a role he played before Nigeria president Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR appointed him as Managing director of Southeast Development Commissions (SEDC).

No matter how educated you are, if you don't have integrity, it is nothing.
It will rubbish your education and make you incompetent.

We have plenty of educated people. Even tinubu is educated.

But what we don't have, are people with integrity and discipline. And that is what Nigeria needs.

That is why I support peter obi. We don't have enough peter obis.
Who told you Peter Obi has integrity? Who and what? Is that the truth or just perception? Bro it’s your belief only not necessarily the truth.

We are keeping our dossier on Obi’s crime until campaigning starts!!!

You just rushed to Google AI and feel sweet.
grin grin grin

Now, what do you mean by " US-trained professional"
Let's start from there.

Do your research about that young man and stop talking like you are the smartest human.

Go to google and insect the guys name and see his achievements --- He is not a Nepo baby.
grin grin grin

Have you "insected" EmmaFx's name on google and seen his "networth?"

Even the guy is always laughing when he sees it.

The same Google is what you're using to look up someone's name, and you refuse to go to their public LinkedIn profile, which they created and populated. You disbelieve a man about himself and believe Google about the same man.

liar liar pants on fire. Rest
So, where was his working experience there apart from political appointments?

What training has he got?

How different is he from any dude with a bachelor's degree and connections?

That boy was amongst the most incompetent commissioners in the administration of Willie Obiano
Very empty upstairs
Because he wasn't even supposed to be there in the first place.
A person without a substantial track record of "following" should never be given the opportunity to "lead."
A person with a significant track record of "being trained" should never be allowed to be in a position where others learn from him.

But he was nominated by South east governors like Soludo.
Even if he was appointed by Bola Tinubu,
Does that make him competent?

All the ministers of the Federal Republic are all appointed by the President and ratified by the whole Senate, but are they not abysmal failures?

The person i replied claimed he was the least qualified, with not even one formal experience. How can South East governors, the whole house of assembly, and the president all do that?

"Senior Associate," directly from a Bachelor's study.
No prior experience.

You deserve the lies you get from these people.
grin grin grin


Assuming it was correct,
If you believe that a 4-year experience person should be given a political appointment, then you need to evaluate your thoughts based on the results you see.

started as an associate and became senior associate. Consulting companies are literally using associates and senior associates to consult for government all over the world. So what make you think he is not qualified?

Because his records say he spent only 4 years.
Now, do you think a 4-year bachelor's degree holder with 4 years of experience should HEAD a government arm?

Exactly what I said.
Progressive being a boy of a politician.

And you know what, I bet you are an indigene of the South East who is supposed to be the one doing what I am doing: holding the government responsible and asking questions about the appointment of incompetent people. But because of ethnic affiliation, you prefer to side with him, and a non-Southeast person is the one asking the questions, and you are defending it.

Anyone waiting for this useless commission to make any impact in the socio-development of Ndigbo/south-east is gonna have a long wait!

Since i was a kid i’ve been hearing of one development commission or the other for the Niger-Delta! During this time all the significant development seems to have happened or been taken to the south-west and certain parts of the north, while the region that lays the golden egg is being sold a dummy in the name of ‘development commission’! Don’t expect the south-east that the hegemonic establishment despises with passion to fare any better!
