I'm sure you were there when it was decided.

She is actually qualified for the role if you actually look at her CV and I really don't know what your beef with this woman is beyond she is Northerner or APC. Let me say something to you, recycling the same old people is what has resulted in a Nigeria that doesn't work. People entrenched in the system, people without fresh ideas and perspectives. If you examine her CV and exclude the bbOg with is clearly obstructing your vision she has held decent positions in the past. Personally I welcome outsiders to key positions, even if on the surface they may seem inexperienced (to some), the experience which her setractors talk about is experience of looting, experience of ineptitude, experience of inefficiency, experience of status quo, business as usual.....the experience that has killed Nigeria, we don't want that anymore.

I honestly don't have problem with her appointment, I was an unapologetic supporter of the Buhari presidency until he started his lopsided and insensitive appointments, and I defended his decision on appointments until he he didn't deem it nationalistic to appoint an Igbo man as the IGP, please before you think I'm an IPOB member, I'm a Yoruba man who believe in the cohesion and unity of the country, and way to guarantee that is by carrying along all ethnic groups without prejudice. I'm sure you won't be happy if your ethnic group is treated with disdain by the president of the country...please don't talk about the previous government because this government is supposed to be a change one.

IamPatriotic:
It is not this lady's fault that she was given a job that will overwhelm her, it is Buhari's fault that a position as sensitive as that of NPA chair is given to a tiro because she "brought Jonathan down on his kneels", we shall see more pictures in the days to come since that is the only evidence to prove that the government is working,


A ti kosi one chance.

But Oby was not rewarded. . Diaris God ooo

Omeokachie:
I for follow BBOG group o. By now I would have been rewarded with a juicy, money making agency in payment like Hadiza.

She is smart, hardworking and Intelligent.

Guyman02:
So whats her qualification and experience for such a sensitive position? I have gone through her CV and there is nothing much except being an NGO activist and serving as Secretary to El Rufai when he was DG at BPE.

If Buhari must appoint Northerners to every key position in Nigeria he should look for those with the right knowledge and not square pegs in round holes. Campaigns are over, Elrufai has already rewarded her for her Chibok Girls BBOG efforts by making her his Chief of Staff and PMB thinks it is small for her. Wetin be my own sef?

Actually I do not care for ethnic group, we have been on this journey of ethnic sentiments for 56 years....what good has it done for the country, what good has it done for you personally? I am interested in competent people, if they are all ibo, so be it, if they are all yoruba so be it, if they are all hausa so be it....I AM TIRED OF INCOMPETENCE AND LOOTING DISGUISED AS ETHNIC BALANCING!!!!

your point would have been very salient if the people appointed would be making much difference after stewardship in office, if only you have thought about multiplier effect of balanced application of rules of engagement, you won't say you care about where appointees come from in an heterogeneous country.

Oh! I forgot you interviewed her for the role.

Dont complain or be surprised that the country doesn't work. Prioritizing ethnicity and religion over competence is a major reason the country as configured is doomed for failure. Firstly it ensures you rarely appoint the best people piloting your affairs and 2) when you do, they get discouraged because target driven people have no time for all this crap. You complain about the calibre of our senators and reps and civil service, why do you think these places are full of imbeciles? Because the system encourages the mediocre and discourages the brightest!


This is why you have imbeciles like GEJ as a president, Why a thug like Tompolo was empowered and now is holding the country ransome, why we have people like Dino making laws, this is why Buhari, a president who failed in his first outing , is the best we can offer as a presidential candidate.


We have become a nation that elevates the mediocre because everything is about religion and tribe not merit, we can keep fooling ourselves but we will be in the same spot in 20 years...countries that make headway don't collectively act and think like we do.

we can keep arguing this for all days, I reason alonge with some of your points, but I think the best way to tackle mediocrity and imcompetency in the polity is not by appointing people of a particular region of the country, competency and integrity cut across the country, it's disrespectful to opine that the reason for the lopsided appointments is because there's no sincere or competent hands in other regions.

does anyone now realise that bring back our girls is an APC scam?

The best biblical text that comes into mind is the Exodus Story, particularly Exodus 3: 9-16, where Moses' encounter with Yahweh changed Israel's destiny forever. Anthropologically speaking, this text played a primordial role in Israel's self-understanding as Yahweh's people who are called to freedom. Thus the text could be seen, if not as the birth of Israel as a people, at least as the first step toward it. By having their own storyteller, Moses, they developed a new perspective on their realities. Until then their story was told by the Egyptians who referred to them as slaves. They were aliens in a foreign land and as such they had to undergo many hardships. They were nothing but what their oppressors wanted them to be, and they had nothing apart from what was been given to them by their masters. Being a dominated minority in a slaveholding culture, Israel could not have any other worldview than the one created by its oppressor in order to keep it oppressed. To free themselves from such bondage, the Israelites had the courage and the genius to retell their story from their own perspective. In so doing they rejected their received identity and gave themselves a new one.

First of all they ceased to see themselves as slaves which was an accepted practice in their imposed worldview. Now they perceived themselves as an oppressed people which is a new concept in describing the same reality. Second, they refused to consider themselves as an inferior class. Now they were the chosen people. They moved from being at the bottom of the Egyptian social classification to being a unique people set apart by Yahweh.

Neither the reality of slavery nor the fact of being strangers had changed. What changed was their way of telling the story, of describing their reality. They entered into a new cosmology with a new set of values and a new perception of themselves. Through their belief in a God who was liberator, they would come to free themselves from the Egyptian bondage.

Contemporary Use and Religious Application

What does this mean for us Africans today? We Africans often take history as it has been narrated to us and do little questioning. But, as the proverb tells us, unless we have our own story-teller, the oppressors will always have the best part of the story. To free ourselves from oppression, we must tell our history from our own viewpoint. The current history has been told and written from the dominating class's perspective-white and African oppressors alike-in such a way that the victims' voices are silenced. Our duty is to tell the African story in the way that does justice to our sufferings and our struggles.

Let us take an example of how history is told from the perspective of the winners. When the Europeans came to Africa they called themselves colonizers and conquerors. Now they are considered to be tourists, missionaries, cooperators, volunteers, and the like. But when Africans emigrate to Europe or the United States they are referred to as undocumented immigrants and aliens. How will we tell the same story?

Telling our own story also implies that we must reject the discriminatory and oppressive expressions used to describe us. We must invent a new language to talk about ourselves. Indeed, the way we choose to name our experience affects the way we look at the world. This is especially true for us Africans. The way we came to perceive ourselves since our contact with the West has drastically changed the way we look at reality. For instance, the way I see myself today as Black, Togolese, Christian, colonized, poor, Third World citizen or immigrant was absent in Africa a century ago. As someone having all these attributes, not only that am I expected to behave in a certain way, but I came to think about myself in that way. My worldview is somehow defined by these attributes. We must reject this way of portraying ourselves by the dominant culture. But this is not sufficient. We must also create our own terminology to talk about ourselves.

Hence just like Israel refused to see any good in slavery and called it oppression, we must retell the history of slavery, colonization, post-independence period, and African contributions to human civilization because: Until the lion has his or her own storyteller, the hunter will always have the best part of the story.

As an example of the contemporary use of this proverb the 26 February, 2006 issue of the Sunday Observer in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania published an article with the headline "Until the Lions Have Their Own Historians..." The writer used the African proverb Until the lions have their own historians, tales of the hunt shall always glorify the hunters to question whether all official police reports and statements about their bravery and heroism in action are true.

Another example: Neville Boney was particularly concerned about the lack of courses on African and black cultures at McMaster University in Ontario, Canada. "There isn't one course at Mac on Egyptian heritage, or Ugandan heritage," said Boney. "It's good that there's aboriginal studies, but we still have a long way to go-it doesn't stop there. "There's a Kenyan and Zimbabwean proverb, Until lions start writing down their own stories, the hunters will always be the heroes. Until black people start taking advantage of opportunities to write their own histories, our history is going to remain in the background,
