Umaru Yar’Adua’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ojo Maduekwe, got more than he bargained for in New York today on his latest ministerial junket allegedly to discuss the inclusion of Nigeria in the list of nations in involved in terrorism. The Minister who spent N2.7 billion on foreign travels last year alone, arrived in New York York accompanied by the Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Foreign affairs, Umar Bature. Maduekwe’s misery started upon arrival in New York as the US State Department refused to meet with him. Saharareporters had reported yesterday about a trip to Nigeria by Mr. Johnny Carson of the department to meet with Goodluck Jonathan, in view of Yar’Adua’s prolonged absence from office, the nation’s disappearance from international reckoning, as well as her increasing religious crises and the uprising in the Niger Delta region.

Mr. Maduekwe had banked on meeting with the UN Secretary-General, Mr. Ban ki-Moon, a meeting he hoped would open the door to the presence of Ms. Susan Rice, the US Permanent representative at the United Nations.  But all those hopes and permutations collapsed, as Mr. Maduekwe ought to have known in Abuja, as  the US was in a mood to meet the Foreign Minister of a country whose president had disappeared for two months.

Only yesterday, Mr. Maduekwe admitted what was worse the BBC program Hard Talk.  He told the presenter he had not spoken to Yar’Adua since he left Nigeria on November 23 2009, and could not explain where he was getting his instructions.   

That embarrassing experience meant that Maduekwe embarked on his US trip determined to turn up a semblance of success, turning to the Nigerian diplomatic staff in New York to get him a top-level appointment at all cost.  Nigeria’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Professor Joy Ogwu, was at Maduekwe’s Millennium Plaza Hotel this morning, but apparently did not have good news for her boss. 

In order to ensure that some report went to the Ministry of Information in Abuja for rebranding and propaganda purposes, and to the Nigeria Television Authority for “news” that he had been hard at work in the United States, Mr. Maduekwe directed the diplomats to organize an emergency press conference for him at the UN.  The UN Journal for Friday, 22 January lists no press conference for Nigeria or Mr. Maduekwe.   

But Mr. Maduekwe, who could have chosen to speak to the “Enough Is Enough” rally being held by Nigerians in front of Nigeria House on the other side of the same city block, decided to hold a conference, any conference. 

When Saharareporters got wind of it and tried to attend the conference, we were told that no conference was listed for Nigeria in the building. Through persistent investigation we found out the “secret” conference, where he had set up shop trying to bamboozle a few journalists about the “progress” being made in Nigeria and puffing arrogantly about his credentials as a capable hand in the vision of “Mr. President”.

A more sane human being would have resigned, but cos of the total lack of integrity ingrained in these political office holders they'll cling on tightly so that they can be driven with sirens blaring on the streets of Abuja.

wow. lol. that reporter was telling him the truth in his face and he couldn't handle the truth. I'm glad the reporter had the courage to say the things he said. We need more reporters to be grilling people like Ojo and make him feel uncomfortable. These people need to be haunted by their conscious for all the bad things they have done to Nigeria.

Though Madueke was wrong in his reaction, but the reporter is a very miserable Nigerian abroad. His actions lack decorum and is very unprofessional. The method of questioning was insulting and I do believe he is not a professional like other sahara people.

Very funny,

I must say that you may be the one that is miserable because if you see how political office holders including Presidents and Prime Ministers are grilled especially when they don't wnt to answer difficult questions or are simply outright dishonest.

The question SR asked your Foreign Minister which another White reporter asked him and still refused to answe was this ' dishounarble Minister , you claimed that you have not spoken with your boss, the visionless, offshore President YAR A'CLULESS for 60 days since he went to Saudi Arabia on Medical exile, on whose authority/mandate are you making all this statements and meetings?, are all your actions are not illegitimate? because you don't appear to have instructions from your master/boss'

He started to answer the white Reporter about how he was a Minister acording to the constitution from ABIA state, as if anyone cares. When you are in a cabinet position world over, you get your instructions from the President or Prime minister. Ojo Maduekwe could have said that in the absence of YAR A'DO NOTHING, the FEC under the chairmanship of the VP directs the affairs of the nation, BUT, there are two traps with that, VP has no acting power authority niether has the President gave him any instructions to give to Foreign Minister as he is too ill to Preside ove anything or command anyting even when he was in Nigeria. The second Problem is that Ojo Madukewe is just an arrogant, pompous fellow who thinks he knows more than anyone else, he alomst said that he is not answerable to YAR A'LEAD NOTHING which infact was true when the dunce called President was here.

Everybody is a law unto themselves. President that has not spoken to world leaders since 25th December after Mutallab, and did not summon his foreign minister since then to give him instructions. The whole government should resign, end of the story.

I hope we can have the type of SR in Nigeria very soon, as they have them all over the developed world.

excuse me, i'm not a fan of fake governments and irresponsible ministers; however, this reporter is not intelligent. There is no journalism decorum in his question.

Both the journalist and the minister are aggressive and disrespectful clowns

I think its just the minister that is a clown. It is the prerogative of a reporter to be disrespectful.

Nigerians.

So was it the white boy who came to mediate? He answered the white man's question?

This is sad.

The guy just embarrassed his government.
He should be fired, actually.

Nobody is missing anything here. The reporter is uncivilised. The reporter just behaved like a typical nigerian reporter.
New York wey im dey self no help am @al ask beta question.
What has Abacha got to do with the absence of Yaradua.
I think He should go for more training on how questions are asked.
The Foreign minister did his job but He shouldn't have made that statement.
He is a complete mofo.
Both the reporter and the minister need to be given six strokes.

@Henry101,the reporter 2,Ojo 12 lashes[color=][/color]

sowore better dont near nigeria airport.

henry101, do google search, they have ask obama great question than this. What the minister should have said,is next question. He does not have to answer.

But to now answer this way, looks bad of nigeria govt. It show the world this is how nigeria treat thier citizen. i have watch the video several times to make me laugh. it is funny video.

The reporter was as idiotic as the minister. Both of them deserve what they gave each other.

On a lighter mood, Sowore must be beaten up by the Igbo minister's boys if he comes to Nigeria, just like three Yoruba military officers have either beaten up or killed Igbo fellows.

Now, you Mekusxyz , did you watch the video, what sowore said was that Abacha govt was an illegitimate. That was true. It was a military govt.

normally Sowore would be jail in Nigeria for asking question . sowore is in the bad books already.

Ojo Maduekwe got what he deserves.

What the minister should do is have some people ask him the likely question before he goes for any interview. The one with BBC was the same, he should not have told the BBC, he had not spoken to the president. And not answer. He does not have to answer. It makes all of them look bad.

What he should have reply the BBC was, I am in touch with the president team in saudia arabia. even if the press ask him, if he as spoken to him. He should just use the "in touch"

While for sowore, he should have answer the question with out talking about abacha. Something like. An answer , he later gave. That Nigeria was above a person , or yar adua.

i think minister ojo , should know better to be prepared. he should remember when he use to do this to people. Do you think he remember tofa vice president, sylvester Ugwu during the president debate in 1992, when he ask the question about biafra.
I would never forget Minister ojo question. Never forget. "How the biafra currrency fell like a pack of card. when Sylvester Ugwu became minister of finance under biafra" it is 17 years ago he ask the question. So minister Ojo and others would see, no be small boy they write.

Now he is old and expect Sowore to treat him nice. Ojo I remember very well, get it to sylvester Ugwu. sylvester Ugwu. nearly shit for body. sylvester Ugwu nearly was crying on that day. sylvester Ugwu started to clean his face several, like 1,000,000 times. Before minister ojo, became a govt man, he use to be on the people side before. i forgot his position with abiola hope team. He is now the one recieving the heat. if i remember very well Nduka was also there.

I think after 17 years, a generation should be ready to quit , so that our generation take over the running of the govt.

June 12, was the reason most of us, came here.   minister ojo was like sowore of those days. that why he does not like sowore doing what he use to do to others. Minister ojo was a terror in young days like Sowore. he was know for his terror question. govt officers use to run from him.

I dont know what is wrong with some of us.
That Sahara reporter is just plain stupid, He is not a journalist at all, if he is then he is not well trained. Can you imagine the kind of conclusive questions he was asking? please!!!!!!!!!!!!! they are better ways to ask questions and make the other party seem foolish,
he just fooled himself, saharareporters and his family

b0dnel ,

for me, I dont bother myself with people. I care about helping the people. You would notice I dont talking about people online. But of ideas. You cant find anywhere, I have verbally or written abuse anyone. I am only interested in ideas to help the people.

I remember ojo very well. The moderator shouted on ojo and wanted to walk him out of the presidential debate. he was shouting and standing up, so sowore did less than ojo.

The world is not a straight line, sowore believe it can be. United nigeria is a dream.

On sowore, I was not a student of the university of lagos,  but went to the university of ilorin, NVS philip adekunle went to ilorin, deputy centre bank governor too, sarah and we were far ahead of sowore. But he was the student leader at unilag. during his time. 

i even entered the university before Bamidele Aturu  who was NASS president.  This were all before sowore times.  he went to unilag.
