Mild drama occurred on Thursday in Ebonyi State House of Assembly when a Caretaker Committee Chairman designate, Mr Henry Eze, failed seven times to recite the National Anthem and pledge.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the incident occurred during the screening of Eze and other nominees by members of the house.
Eze had appeared before the house for the screening when he was asked to recite National pledge which he could not do.
He was also asked to recite the National Anthem which he also failed.
The chairmanship nominee for Ishielu Local Government Area was also asked by the Speaker of the Assembly, Mr Ogbonna Nwifuru, to repeat the National pledge and anthem which he failed.
The failure prompted Nwifuru to present a copy of the written anthem and pledge to enable him recite it properly.
But, there was a mild-drama when he could not recite the anthem and pledge with the written copy of the Nigerian national anthem and pledge, respectively.
The Speaker, who was visibly annoyed, then asked Eze to go back and study the National Anthem and pledge, describing the failure as an embarrassment.
“How can a council chairman not recite National Anthem and National pledge?
“This house is surprised that as a council chairman, you cannot recite the anthem and pledge when you should be the one to teach your subordinates.
“So, go back and study them,’’ Nwifuru said.
Eze, however, was screened and confirmed by the house despite his inability to recite the National Anthem and pledge.
Meanwhile, the house screened and confirmed 11 chairmanship nominees in the state.
Their screening and confirmation followed the expiration of their tenure in office and their reappointment by Gov. Dave Umahi.
Twelve out of the 13 chairmen were reappointed, while Mr Joseph Orogwu, of Ikwo Local Government was dropped.
For those of you who do not know ...here goes!

DeleteOmooo! 1st thing I did was try to recite both and found myself mumbling words at 1st attempt. But not being able to recite it with a copy in his possession, once again shows that illitrates are ruling lirates in this country.
DeleteEven u stella no lie, u would have forgotten.
The man no try oh! Choi my people my people.
ReplyDeleteThis country is a joke, a Zoo indeed. This singular act is more than enough reason not to confirm this goat, even with a written copy he still could not recite the national anthem, and they still went ahead to confirm him, we r doomed by this politicians.
DeleteSay you are doomed. Do you kniw what it means to be doomed? Mtcheeew!
DeleteLoool. Morning peeps!
ReplyDeleteAhahaha. Eze goes to school. Correct. Lol
ReplyDeleteHe is as dumb as bv Henry eze.
DeleteMothers should beware of that name
Illiterate politicians everywhere.
ReplyDeleteSHAME!SHAME!!SHAME!!!
Shame!!!! Very shameful!
ReplyDeletehhhhhhmmmmm! no be small thing.
ReplyDeleteNa really Eze goes to school. Oya Eze go back to primary school and start reciting before you collect your first salary.
ReplyDeleteBaba shame. Your children should teach you at home. Oya take a copy from Stella blog
Despite the fact that he could not read it they still went ahead to confirm him! How can they be this callous and corrupt? they are putting the lives of many in the hands of an illiterate who does not know how to manage himself to manage a local govt. What a shame!
ReplyDeleteLwkmd wot a big shame
ReplyDeleteDisgraceful... and they'll still vote for him
ReplyDeleteThe key thing her is: HE WAS CONFIRMED!!!
ReplyDeleteThus they confirmed not only a man that cannot recite the Anthem and pledge, but they confirmed an illiterate! He couldn't read the Anthem and Pledge when he was given the written version!
This is instructive as to why we are where we are in this country. Hian!
In a sane country, they will not be given the position. If they can't read, how will they relate? I guess they will be communicating in vernacular while deliberating.
Deleteand to think dat he was still confirmed even after d national disaster/ epic disgrace...shame nor go even allow me collect d position again self...but wat am i even saying...our politicians lack shame....
ReplyDeleteOmg see falling of hands, Goodmorning all.
ReplyDeleteNawaaoo. See as Stella come they teach us. 😂
ReplyDeleteVery shameful!
ReplyDeleteSo even if they did not know before, could they not have researched on it? I guess their phones and gadgets are to call up women to meet them. This shows the level of illiterates that have come to rule the people. It shows they didn't pass through the primary level cos this is taught and recited every morning during assembly. So which form of education did these one attain?I guess if they are told to recite the old anthem, ahh forget it, they will all flop. See disgrace.
ReplyDeleteBiko Stella still teach them the old and the new.
And he was still appionted??? NIGERIA!!!!.
ReplyDeletehahahahahahahahahahahah, even tosa tosa our might. I can't just stop laughing.
