So, the job of no#8 is to score some quick runs. What is Naeem's Strike Rate in ODI? It is 66.04.
Counter argument can be, he had to rebuild innings when top order fails. In that case we should have seen more 50s from him instead of just 1.

Out of 29 innings he played in ODIs, he was Not out 13 times. This contributed to his average. How many times Naeem has even crossed 30 runs in ODI? Only 3 times out of 29 innings. So, his average does not present the real scenario.

Naeem's ODI record - Match by match list

I want nayeem to be given a fair chance in top order (specially in ODI/T20) to prove himself as a batsman. Right now he is getting away with excuses like not having enough opportunity.
