General visit to other countries and UN functions are 2 different things.

We have permanent folks at the UN for a reason. It's not the job of the Nigerian embassy to draw up and formulate UN schedules or chaperon the president around the UN for official UN engagements inside the UN. This is the job of the Nigerian mission at the UN. Nigerian mission to the UN.


You people come up with the most thoughtless ignorant and unintelligent rubbish...

The Canadian UN mission and their responsibilities.

Pay attention to the highlight especially the red highlight which sums it all up.

This is basically the standard mission responsibilities of all UN missions.

our UN mission is utterly incompetent and worthless..

OfoIgbo:
1. This is for Canada and not for Nigeria

2. We will also like to see the job description of a) foreign affairs minister b) foreign affair ministry c) Nigerian ambassador to the US d) Nigerian embassy in the US e) Secretary to the government of the federation f) the president, afterall he should be in charge of filling those positions with competent people

Providing the job desriptions of the above entities will help reveal whose fault this diplomatic quagmire truly is.

Everywhere Buahri goes and find igbos he starts skimming to remove them. Let us see how far Buhari can get with that, we are watching.

What did you say??

Alright, I think it is time we sanction Ibos from the political section. You guys just dont get it!!


The UN is located in America but its grounds and campuses are considered international territory. The UN has its own police force. AMERICA has no jurisdiction on UN grounds.

Now, America itself has a rep in the UN. The UN rep is different from an Ambassadorial post but both are diplomatic missions.

The Nigerian Ambassador to the US is there to facilitate the needs of bilateral agreements between US and Nigeria people in areas of cultural exchange, business exchange, tourism, education, arts and so on.....

The Nigerian Perm Rep to UN is there to facilitate treaties between Nigerian Government and UN members and to be the face and facilitator when Nigeria interacts, inter-exchange, inter-play with peer Nations for military, state, humanitarian aid, development and peace accords.

One represent the people - Ambasador
The other represent the Sovereign - Perm Rep.

Dont ever make the mistake of confusing the two again.

A lot of you would read this article and not understand the subtle message...Amb. Ogwu is responsible and should be removed. This is evil yoruba people for you....this people are implacably evil. Runs in their DNA and culture. Isn't it the same Amb. Ogwu that has handled all missions for past presidents from Obj, Yaradua to GEJ without any hitch? Presidency should own up to its fault and stop blaming this fine distinguished woman. This was how the very same Yoruba media rubbished Oduah, Iweala, Madueke, Oteh, e.t.c. So I want you to grasp the subtle message from this evil yoruba media....remove her. The question becomes...why did the Presidency lie when this issue was raised few days ago? Why did they lie that the meeting was not official? TALK TO ME! Now the coverup is let's put the blame on this distinguished woman. THIS IS HOW THIS EVIL PEOPLE SINGLEHANDEDLY DESTROYED THE NAMES OF OUR BEAUTIFUL DISTINGUISHED BIAFRAN WOMEN. NOW PROF. OGWU OF ALL...inarguably one of the best diplomats Nigeria has ever produced! I can't tell you how disgruntled I'm. This is why this country is going and has been going down the pit...mediocrity! If you don't appreciate the service of these fine women; obviously you hate them, then give us Biafra so that they can serve us. How difficult is this?

My advice to Prof. Ogwu, resign and take up a private or corporate job like Iweala and Oteh. You will be recalled when Biafra comes. This country is not worth it ma'am. Someone like Oteh will never ever serve Nigeria again!

Thats wht i said, the Nigerian UN mission is distinct from the Nigerian Embassy in US. Totally separate staff and headcount.

The fool i responded to had it mixed up.

argon500:
Members of President Buhari’s delegation to the United nations General Assembly have accused Prof.Joy Ogwu, Nigeria’s Permanent Representative to the UN, of sabotaging President Muhammadu Buhari’s participation, citing glaring missteps that have embarrassed the delegation and undermined Nigeria’s/

The accusation follows curious circumstances in which Nigeria missed two key events, putting its leadership on the spot. The first was a Boko Haram response event chaired by a UN Under-Secretary Mike O’Brien, which Buhari missed completely.

The Nigeria leader, who will speak in the general debate this evening, also missed a meeting with the Catholic Pontiff, Pope Francis, because of his late arrival to the meeting, the bizarre circumstances of which are only just being understood.

Sources within the delegation told SaharaReporters that the delegation also missed at least two other events and has had a difficult time securing full participation in the very important 70th Assembly.

In the case of the Boko Haram event, the sources told our reporter that it was never put on President Buhari’s calendar by the Nigerian mission.

Regarding the event with the Pope, Buhari missed it because when he came down from his hotel suite, there was no car to take him to the meeting. When he decided to walk to the event with his entourage, he was taken by Nigerian mission officials to the wrong gate, where they were denied entry by security agents.

Buhari then walked back to his hotel where, when he got on the elevator, the mission finally brought a car to take him to see the Pope.

Sources say when he made that second trip in the Mission’s car, he was again driven to yet another wrong gate and the delegation was turned back.

Also, yesterday an attempt by the delegation to attend a side meeting where Nigeria was to have declared its support for the “Commitment to Gender Equality” initiative almost failed as the mission failed to provide any secondary party to facilitate the Nigerian delegation’s participation. It took the intervention of the Chinese mission to help former member of house of reps Abike Dabiri and other delegates to get into the event.

And then today, members of the Nigerian delegation led by the governor of Niger state again denied access to another important event, “EveryWoman, EveryChild,” because of poor organization.

As Buhari prepares to speak today at the UN, the delegation also hit a major hitch as the Mission did not process tickets for all members of the delegation to get into the event. Only President Buhari and a few members of his protocol team were accredited to get in the venue. Our source said it was when Buhari finally got upset about it that Prof. Ogwu when out and processed acoustic tickets to enable a larger number of delegates to attend the event.

Apart from the fiasco with accreditation and general conference management, the members of the delegation are also not provided food in their hotel rooms as is the tradition. Instead, they are made to eat at a buffet at the Mission. According to his aides, President Buhari refused to go to the buffet.

The Nigerian delegation is staying at the ONE UN New York, (the former Millennium UN Plaza Hotel), across the road from the UN, and on the same block with the Nigerian Mission.

Prof. Ogwu’s tenure expires in December 2015. Several UN observers blames President Buhari for the mess, he berates the president delays in appointing ministers saying it is a major reason his UN trip failed miserably. A retired Nigerian diplomat told Saharareporters that President Buhari must have seen the folly in relying on unsupervised civil servants to run the affairs of state since he came to power.

Buhari team are no longer saying the meeting was unofficial since Premium Times exposed their folly.
Ambassador Ogwu should have woken Bubu from his sleep, its her fault Buhari overslept.

Was it the US representative in the UN that provided the food Obama ate in the White House before attending any of the UN sessions? The answer is NO

Was it the US representative in the UN that provided the motorcade that brought Obama from the White House to the UN building? The answer is NO

Buhari has shown immense INCOMPETENCE. It is now out there for the whole world to see. JOY OGWU, please keep excelling. Just resign and don't allow yourself to be tainted by these monkey lookalikes. Our daughters Iweala and Oteh are making waves in spite of attempts to rubbish them

wirinet:
Did you read the report at all or you are reading another article. It says Buhari went to the venue twice and on each occasion was taken to the wrong gate.

It is now obvious that the 5 precenters are out to embarrass the president and can do anything to achieve their aims. And someone will still criticize Buhari for being afraid ti appoint the 5 percenters in this government.

Do you have comprehension deficit disorder? The report says he was taken to different gates. It was not the same gate twice. The UN building has many gates, only one is reserved for presidents and heads of states.

See how PDP and 5 percenters are ecstatic with joy, you would think Nigeria won the world cup. These people can even commit suicide to make sure Buhari fails or is embarrassed.

The sloppiness and tardiness exhibited by this administration is embarrassing to say the least ..

..I counted four important events that Nigeria missed out ..Take your time and read line by line and see the mess our country's image has been made in the UN assembly ..

..and the Presidency lied to us that the events were unofficial .. just read the last paragraph again ..


..If Buhari were to be lalasticlala, this thread will make FP on December,1 ..

Most of you clowns posting here dont even realize that the U.N representative of a country is actually the Country's Ambassador to the U.N and is directly responsible for ANY INTERFACE (including but not limited to programmes and schedules) between the UN and the country's President.

But then, when you have these Ibo saboteurs within your Govt, you have to understand that they will lose their brain when it mattered most
Small time, they will be whining that PMB did not put them in-charge of his food at Aso rock
