An ambassadorial nominee, Alhaji Ibrahim Bida, from Niger state
currently serving in Turkey shockingly failed to recite the Nigeria
National anthem when asked to do so by the Chairman, Senate Committee on
Foreign Affairs.Ibrahim, who is among the 47 ambassadorial nominees currently being
screened, began stammering having introduced himself successfully and on
getting to singing the pledge, it became difficult for him as he began
to mix up the wordings.
The entire 8-man Committee including its Chairman, Senator Munsirat
Sunmonu burst into laughter, until James Manager intervened in
completing the anthem.
Pressed further on his knowledge of foreign economic blueprint, the
nominee explained succinctly how China got their economic prosperity
right because their President as at the time of their recession decided
to shut its doors against import from other nations and was busy
rebuilding China through domestic policy approach.
The nominee also stressed that if Nigeria could configure its foreign
policies with the interest of benefiting from resources abroad, it
would help the situation immensely.
