Her decision not to appear would have been one of many cases of the executive. But I am in the shoe of the chairman of the house. The minister first statement shows that she might not be able to answer all the 50 questions begging for answers on that day. Are we now saying that meeting with minister is an opportunity for the people? From my own view, I sw the minister not ready to answer all of the questions.
why did they not send her the 50 questions beforehand so that she can prepare an answer an present to them during the hearing?

you dey mind them, when i was serving in kaduna, my boss was doing his MBA at university of zaria. it was a fellow corper that was going to school for him and giving him his lecture notes.

the problem is that these people up north have this superiority complex i dont know what warrants. for a kid to be shouting on a woman probably older and accomplished than his mother?


YOU call someone at the age of franchise, a kid? and what you observe in Kaduna, is it not happening everywhere? lets try to reason together to take Nigeria out of the current mess

obeski13: Looking at the rude and irresponsible manner mr jibrin spoke to Mrs iweala,it is obvious there is more to it than meet d eyes. imagine a 37 yr old rascal insulting a woman old enough to be his mother..in all areas of life, mrs iweala is far above d rude and impolite boy frm Kano.talking about his CV.it is laughable..yes,he has PhD, but we know how such certificates are given to people of his like...for his certificates frm Havard and london business school.he is not different from other nigerians who will do anything to av certifiticates of those schools,even if it is a 2.-week programme.if that is the way they dont have regard for women where he comes from,he must be told in an unmistakeable terms that u must show respect to people who are older than u are.

Age has nothing to do with this. As far as I am concern, does that mean that Ngozi Okonjo Iweala is arguing the ruling of the chairman because she saw him to be younger, not as educated as herself; Respect is reciprocal. I never saw a chairman making a rule with a gavel and renounce it. Even if the rule was made out of mistakes. Ngozi Okonjo Iweala should know better.

In as much as that she was not abused. You can take your leave is not an abusive word. But if the woman felt that she is old enough to correct someone that is young enough to be her son, then she should face the consequence. As at that time, the chairman is exercising his office as chairman of house committee, so he need to be respected by the woman on his ruling. This reminds me that the so called minister was screened by the house, before taking that office.

I think the interpretation was that she did the Nigerian people a favor by showing up sick and unprepared...

Bottom line, she wasn't ready or prepared to do her job and the reps did the right think excusing her, throwing tantrums after was just unbecoming, rude, disrespectful and unprofessional...

onimcee1: it seems to me that your ideas are rotten and sticky. You make absolute no sense. Now on the topic, i think the reps were acting on their earlier script to boo the president when ever he comes to present the budget. Since the president took advantage of the constitution that says he can send someone to represent himself, the rep members just wanted to give it to who ever is representing the president.

Go and die..thou foooool!! Abeg what sense have you made? I have warned u not to miss ur drugs. See matter wey dey ground...u dey talk of another thing. All this PDP e goats....every thing that happens now is targeted at the president? Chia....u have problem oooo!

But she exhibited high level of self control as a senior minister.

I no know book:



The United States wey I dey or abi na ur imaginary USA? Make u no dey talk about the country wey u no sabi anything about. If there's any country in this whole wide world, where a cabinet member fit talk to a member of the legislature anyhow and go scot free, that country na the USA. Have u ever witnessed a congressional hearing in the US before? Abegi, if u have not, go and watch one at the least on the tv (PBS is a good starting point) and then come back and delete ur comment.

Now coming to the issue at stake, an unbiased mind can readily understand the ministers frustrations. She is the person saddled with the responsibility of making sure that our economy is on a good track. Obviously, appearing before the committee is definitely, one of the so many engagements competing for her time. Now for her to commit time to appear before the committee, despite her illness, shows the level of respect she has for the legislature. She could have decided not to appear and there was nothing they could have done about it. One expected the members of the committee to be cognizant of the fact that a federal minister is always time constrained, and whenever he or she makes an appearance before them, they should maximize the opportunity and make the most of it. Asking the honorable minister to go and come back sometime in the future when she was ready and willing to answer their questions, is to me, very uncalled for. Probably, the fact that they unlimited time in their hands to while away doing nothing, makes them believe every other person has that kind of time.

I commend the honorable minister for exercising great self restraint in the face of very obvious exhibition of I professionalism by the committee members.

I am just across the border from you (afterall we are your 52nd state) and did you watch how Elizabeth Warren grilled the Financial guys? You think those guys will tell her to respect them, you think they will come to the house saying they were ill and talk down on her, my guy forget that one.

Forget qualifications, the guy is a committee chairman, that is a very powerful position, though the guy maybe a third of her age, he is occupying a position of authority with the responsibility that comes with it, in sane climes, when reps talk, ministers jump.

well talk, who know minister? I sure if mama minister try to go for rep. in year 2011 nobody will vote for her. and don't forget that whatever Rep. says is the voice of the people but whatever ministers says in the voice of Mr. Presido.[color=#000099][/color]

I know what I mean by saying that it is an opportunity. i work with United nation today seeing a lot of opportunities flying around. It is only those people that get the information that will apply. To put the record straight, I am here today in spite of my poor background, but I thank God for the opportunity. Many people are better than me,but THEY ARE not opportuned!!! Ngozi, came from a rich home, her mum is a professor. those are the opportunities i am talking about.Even the house member committee chairman is an opportunity.

What level of control? Babbling on and on after they showed her mercy because of her ill health or after the chairman said the meeting is adjourned?

You could have written a letter or communicated in some other way about ur health for the meeting to be rescheduled if u knew u were indisposed. Making such statements to the committee is totally uncalled for..cos you are indirectly telling that if not that they are Reps...they can GO AND DIE! Or do u have a choice not to respect members of the house? If you are sick go and treat your self 1st so tmr u wouldn't come and tell u were sick when u were giving figures or answering questions....if u can't do that well GO AND DIE!

Its more like your 'oga' asking you to appear before him...on getting there ur utterances are like. Oga, I'm not feeling too well...but cos I respect u that's why came. That is totally uncalled for. WTF is that? I'm 100% sure u will be walked out of that office.

She thought she could use sickness to cover up incompetecy, but smart Reps were not sold on it. She had allowed the praise singing from her backyard get into get to her head, not knowing that only her people see her as messiah.

Good thing she was cut to size. The rep is as educated as she is. He was not speaking on top of his voice, a man's vocal cord is expected to be stronger than that of a woman, so the comment from the Rep was right.

May Nigeria be delivered from empty heads running its affairs.
