Per the bolded, a typical Nigerian mentality. You did not mention how "short legs" landed her in such position without a paper as door knocker.

OlujobaSamuel:
I thought she said she went to queens college during screening abi wetin d op dey watch then.

porshuch:
who told you she has no secondary education? Chai! Nigerians nawa o.

shizzy7:
Scroll down I actually mentioned it.

**Her father is the owner of United Nations
**Her Grandfather owns Colombia University
**Her uncle owns Bills and Melinda gates foundation

Dame Patience Jonathan has most of the required degrees, she should replace her.

Everything is connection,
Deizani's relative has a child for Jonathan - Connection
Arunma Oteh - Connection
Nothing can ever be based on merit
my list can go on and on.......
**Your typical Nigerian Mentality

I think I need to break it down for you.

According to her CV, Amina was born in 1961 and didn't get her first job until 1981.


Even though she didn't mention her job role, I would nevertheless ask you this question: was she employed in that firm because of her brilliance or intelligence? You don't just become an Engineer, a Surveyor or an Architect because you speak English with a British accent. It's safe to state she wasn't employed in those roles. A young lady in her twenties with no degree, no SSCE could not have got a high profile job in a firm that requires expertise which takes years of training to acquire. Whatever role she got in that firm has nothing to do with high level of intelligence. It is even curious that she listed her specific roles in other organizations except this firm where she worked for 10 years! Since she had no known expertise and training, it is pretty obvious that if she was employed in high profile role, it would be as a result of "connection".



This doesn't count since she is a co-founder. Can she deny herself a job? That is, you can't say her performance in her previous role/job recommended her for this position. Whatever it is, one could say she had enough money to float her personal business. Afri-Projects Consortium was engaged by Buhari's PTF in the 1990s for managing HIV/AIDS intervention programmes. Since the firm has no experience in such intervention and the position not advertised, it was a "paddy paddy" connection job. Nothing in particular recommended her firm for that job.




Apparently,when Buhari's job as PTF chairman was gone as a result of transition to democracy, there was nothing for Amina's APC, hence CSACEFA where she was both a private consultant and National Co-ordinator at the same time. And what did they do? Of course, they worked with Ministry of Education! You too can form an NGO and name it anything. You can even name yourself a coordinator of 100 NGOs and then use your connection to work with the Federal Ministry of Education.


Can you see the link between the NGO she formed and the job she got at the Federal Ministry of Education? Connection.


And this too? Isn't this connection too?

Of course by the time you have many agencies including Nigeria's presidency listed on your CV, you can easily get job with such firms such as Bill and Melinda Foundation and even the UN. She got that UN job based on her previous role as SSA to President on MDG, a position she got based on connection.

There is nothing special about her other than her British accent.[b] Since she doesn't have any apparent talent, no expertise, no degree, no SSCE, she couldn't have gone that far without connection.

shizzy7:
Summary of your thread, topic and post.
It's all Connection,there is "nothing special about her", she does not worth all these because she is not educated at all.

But those who are have expertise and education have been at the helm of affairs for decades and we are regressing.
We had a former first Lady with all the "Almighty degrees" who disgraced us locally & internationally, she would have been better off speaking our dialect.

Nike Davies-Okundaye - NO FORMAL EDUCATION but lectures those with degrees at Harvard, meets with Presidents but since she is not into politics, no connection.

Go and check the bosses at Nigerian Customs-(worse-off)… You think there is nothing special about her? ComE again, you can only wish.
Those you think that are special because they have all the degrees and expertise have ruined Nigeria.
I will like to see what she is going to do.

Aguntasolo1:


This is a profoundly ignorant comment.

Your father doesn't have to own a place before you secure a job there based on connection. Look at the entire trajectory of her career and you should be able to see connection, not competence, clearly written on it. The mere fact that you work with UN, Bill and Melinda Foundation doesn't rule out connection. In what role did she serve at Bill and Melinda Foundation? Because if you look at the job page of Bill and Melinda foundation and go thorough the minimum qualifications required, she shouldn't have been taken for any role except someone intervened. She listed Bill and Melinda Foundation as affiliations. Did she work there and in what role?

Aruma Oteh made a first class from UNN, a known school and then got an MBA from Harvard. She worked in various firms before even that of DG SEC. Diezani got a degree from Howard in Architecture before working with Shell; she has an MBA from Cambridge. She rose to become a director. Although you may be morally bankrupt, yet to achieve such a feat in the private sector, your intelligence must be above average.

This is the key: without Diezani knowing GEJ, she could have been nominated for a minister of petroleum based on her own career trajectory just same way Aruma Oteh for DG SEC. The same can not be said of Amina whose main job was forming nebulous NGO to get funds from government. Clear?

We both know Dame Patience and what she is notoriously known for but I can assure you she would also speak a flawless British English was she born and raised in England.

I don't give a damn about her certificate. Her working experience alone speaks better. Thank God she no follow #TorontoCertificate Crew.

Loool, @ the emboldened
Dame Patience Jonathan
WASCE - 1980
NCE - 1989
B.Ed
P.hd - University of port Harcourt

If your sister possess all these degrees and speaks common English the way patience does, I guess you would tell her that is what "you are ridiculously known for".

If you can't understand the Language in which you were being taught for decades, what is the essence of the degrees??

My deizani&Aruma's part was a sarcasm in opposition to Patience's case.

Bye.

tolastikha:
If she is not professionally qualified, she won't have gotten those plum appointments at the highest level of world public service. Mind you, academic degree such as (b sc, m sc and PhD) are only for teaching. There are other forms of proficiency test such as (ican, acca, anan, acia, etc) practically made for practical jobs not theories and surely Nigerians are not aware of this. If it is not B sc or Hnd then you are not supposed to be working in any organized sectors (Nigerians own level of reasoning). Get your brain charge up men.

laudate:


Oga, if she has all the correct qualifications, then how come she has never included any of them in her CV? For your information, BSc, MSc & Ph.d are NOT just for teaching. Free your mind and conduct solid research on what those qualifications are used for, before you comment, pls!

tolastikha:
If you are not aware get it into your brain today. Academic qualifications are met principally for research purposes. Application of the research works are carried out by professionals period. That is why whatever your qualification, PhD or whatever, you can't audit corporate account except you have ican; nor sign engineering design except you have corel; nor certified any corporate plan as worth implementation except you have acia; nor certified any survey plan except you are chartered surveyor.

Somebody without a degree, yet she was an Adjunct Professor at Colombia University in New York?

With her extensive work experience and achievements, it is definitely only a typical black man, an African and indeed a Nigerian that can be bothering himself with what her first degree certificate has in it.
