djon78: El-rufai cannot even clean Soludos shoes dnt even go there they are not mates nor match. As for Soludos acheivement his bank consolidatioin still stands out, Nigerian banks were not even in Africas top 20 but today look at their position, he made his mistakes but still his achievements surpases his mistakes. Saniusi tried in his risk reforms but today there is nothing stimulating the banking sector, they are asleep, a vibrant banking sector is the blood of a vibrant economy, how are Nigerian banks today vis a vis the Nigerian economy?

okpara ugo:

But soludo is a genius... Take it or leave it.

nagoma:

" Out of School a man is not judged by his grades ; but by the changes he brings and the promises he keeps". We know how much of mess the banking system was in when Soludo left the CBN and we don't know how many promises he kept as a public servant. Soludo's response to El - Rufa'i is ungentlemanly and extremely unsatisfactory for the intellectual he claims to be and it all sounds like sour grapes. People who can write do so all their lives and if Soludo is waiting for the end of his career to start writing , tell him that he is late by 4 years now when his career ended shamefully.

dammytosh:

He is more than dubious. he lost out of the power game, joined the opposition and was louder than you can imagine. Unfortunately, Nigerians have very short memory.

Because of the Media power of ACN, Every gullible Nigerian believe the criteria for being a Saint and Saviour in Nigeria is to leave PDP and join any other 3 letter word party.

They are all rogues and criminals. Only God will save us from their claws.

tarryT: Typical,.. As expected.

Let me quote Ice Prince.... " aboki inside, aboki side,..u know what that means? Na MuMUnism be dat o"

Am el Rufai... I approve this quotation..

Nagoma,...clap for me na..

I have watched from afar off how Nigerians are just singing praises for Soludo as if being educated makes u unable to lie or be corrupt. You guys are responding as if Soludo is intellectually better and more reasonable than El-Rufai. I expected Nigerians after reading Soludo's powerful C.V to take a look at his opponent's(in this case) own rather than singing dull praises for Soludo as if he is the first to make a first class. For the of you who may not know. El-rufai is also a scholar and had he opted for acadamics rather than civil service, he would have equalled or surpassed Soludo's academic achievements.Just for your knowledge this is a brief view of his own modest C.V
Nasir el-Rufai was born in Daudawa of the Faskari Local Government Area in the northern state of Katsina. He was the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory and member of the Federal Executive Council, the highest decision making body in Nigeria from 2003 – 2007. He attended various academic and professional programmes at Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Nigeria, University of London, Harvard Business School, Arthur D. Little School of Management in Massachusetts, Georgetown University School of Foreign Services in Washington, D.C. and the John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University. He holds a first class honours degree in Quantity Surveying (1980), a Masters Degree in Business Administration (1984), a Postgraduate Diploma in Computer Science (1985), a Bachelor of Laws(second class upper) from Harvard University (2008), Master of Public Administration (2009), and has attended several programs on Privatization and Leadership. He established and ran what became a successful consulting practice, el-Rufai & Partners, between 1982 and 1998. He also held management positions with two international telecommunications companies, AT&T Network Systems International BV and Motorola, Inc. In October 2001, he was conferred a national honour, OFR (Officer of the Order of the Federal Republic of Nigeria) by the Federal Government of Nigeria while serving as the director general of the Bureau of Public Enterprises (BPE) and the secretary of the National Council of Privatisation where he spearheaded the privatisation of many government owned companies. He is happily married with children. In 2005, he was conferred D.Sc (honoris causa) by the University of Abuja, Nigeria.

I doubt if Prof Soludo wrote this......it will be a worse disgrace compared to all he accused el-Rufai of...... If someone admitted to you that what he wrote were impressions he was given, why go the press to write a book?

My greatest reservation about the OBJ team was their immaturity, arrogance and naivety in handling power despite their experience in professional and private practice. Some fools will clap and cheer this write-up (book) but I think it is a revelation and an insight into the immature minds of individuals who shaped policies that affected over 200 million people in 8 years.

They were much older than Gowon, IBB, Murtala and OBJ in their military years.....leadership quotient is depreciated greatly in Nigeria. It is so obvious as you read comments on Nairaland when Nigerians in their mid 30's and early 40's share views of national interest with such shallow-mindedness....

You see why the old men in their 70's and 80's have been able to perpetuate themselves in power....its simply because the younger ones are not prepared emotionally to lead this country. We were here when Dimeji Bankole was speaker, check all the governors who came in below 50 years and check their performance. Is it any better than the grandpas?

Harvard, World Bank, Oxford and foreign resumes aren't all we need to restore Nigeria....a lot of emotional intelligence is required!

Akpangbon: ^^^^^

Of all the lies he had been accused of concocting, the only comment you have is to blame Soludo for responding by writing a book in the press. With the way you think, you will end up another EL Rufai.

sammhi: Sir soludo,
i dont agree with you . i have read the book and i cant sse your points.Definitely h.e has some impression of you written in the book, but i dont see him praisng himself alone . After reding the book, i saw that OBJ did well in his tenure contrary to popular opinion.
am an ordinary nigerian so i dont know both you and El rufai persoanlly.. but what i also deduced from his book was that OBJ has good reasons for a third term but did not market it well.
if there was one person , the book praised, it was OBJ. infact the book changed all my impression of the former president.
it also praised the ec onomic team and the EFCC . The book showed in details that nigerians are not ready for good governance but it also higlights the fact that a few good nigerians were in the OBJ government and was responsible for the twig of improved econnomy seen in OBJ years.
no doubt some of his points may not be acurate but are not a fraud

really the heat is on,where is soludo since? he could had replied earlier, i just bought the book yesterday oo," the enemy of my enemy is my friend unless that enemy is soludo"

DrummaBoy:


^^^^^^^^ A million likes for the above.
Soludo has neither impressed by his performace in office nor by his reponse here. He has only taken time to show that the mallam was right: Soludo is a politician and he is the one guilty of being an intellectual fraud.

I really don't expect you to be smart or have a functioning IQ, however, in a bid to peruse the expose above, i ran into this sentence, permit me to replicate

""Nigeria’s only transnational corporations were built in three years.""



At a Time Oil has been the highest earner for the country for over 2 decades, the Oil manager of the country (NNPC) after series of booms could not achieve the above quote in 25yrs.

Prof chukwuma soluda, picked the least profitable sector at the time, polished it and achieved it in just 3yrs.

you have your freedom of speech no doubt, but i am ashamed that i share the same right to Vote with a Nincompoop (forgive my language) like you.

even your biggest role model is not worthy to kiss soludo's feet, kindly bury your face in shame, god himself will be disappointed not creating you a toad.[size=8pt][/size][b]

Assuming you are a guy, i owe you a drink and i am not kidding about it.
In few words you have captured the crux of the matter that is wrong with that team.
May the Almighty bless you for these choice words.

I initially wanted to read the book as i am a fan of El-rufai but after reading the reviews i declined as i was irritated by the gossip tendencies of the book. My question is how is Soludo any better?
These men just go around parading their intelligence like a badge. All they are good in is talking and pontificating.
Soludo for all his intelligence left the CBN in a state of mess. If he had done what he ought to, Sanusi would not be the local hero he has become.
With all his intelligence Ibru et al were thieving left,right and center.
These men are not worth it at all.
