we are always doing politics of tribe with everything in this country,there are better economists,good enough the criticism did not emanate locally.the implication is that she wont receive global acceptance period.


And how will this prevent her from doing her job well?

@topic.

Sometimes I cannot believe the arrogance of Western press. Especially Britain with reportage that offensively have an imperialist tinge to their messages. What exactly makes her "poorly qualified"? She has relevant academic credentials and has good/relevant if not outstanding work experience. What disciples of academic/CV 'bling bling' will never understand is that Nigeria's problem are not that complex as to require Einstein-like intervention everywhere. Any averagely decent solution provider with sound academic knowledge (which Kemi surpasses on both count) can do wonders under a president 100% prepared to work for Nigeria as has never being the case since 1999.

Overall, for those who truly understand Nigeria and the dynamics of current issues, it is obvious things are more about the seriousness and political will the government of the day will be operating with. Therefore the most loaded CV (NOI) can deliver zilch under a worthless President (GEJ) whereas an appointee with a so-called modest CV (Adeosun) could perform wonders under a President (PMB) who is brave, has uncompromising political will and is ready to support her 100% to deliver results. As simple as that. Anyone good at identifying problems and capable of devising innovative solutions will thrive under the right President whereas the most impressive Nigerians have failed under many worthless and anti-people Presidents.

Water must find its level. Municipal town council level placed in charge of economy of most populous black nation. And there we are. That her comical address at her screening was like local kids debating competition where the child that speaks the most rubbish fastest gets the prize. University of East London? Warraheck is that? Must have been one of those bush community colleges when she was there, later upgraded to a poly and then a university. The woman is out of her depth, McKinsey (as engaged by Mr Vice President Osinbajo "I am in charge of economic policy"wink will be doing her work for her and charging Nigeria $6000 per hour to do so for next 4 years. Woe is Nigeria

The same people who were filled with ecstasy that an "international paper" calls GEJ clueless are the same people under a year castigating the paper and calling it "nonsense". One had to write pretty long rebuttal on behalf of Ambode.


Karma is a b.I.t.c.h!

If The Economist was right about GEJ, then they're right about Ambode, Kemi and about PMB.

GEJ-clueless
Ambode-incompetent
Kemi - poorly qualified
PMB- slow and direction-less

Those are the choice of words from Economist

Kemi Adeosun will far better than okonjo wala. Let us forget about paper qualification. The oyinbo man will say knowing something in theory is fine but in a real world it is pratical experience that always count. Okonjo wala is good but she brought anti African policy to us in which kemi Adeosun will ever do.

Phew! I took time reading all the arguments. You don't want my verdict.
Anyways, 'the Economist' couldn't be more wrong!
Firstly, the last government was seemingly packed with overqualified eggheads including the Presido. They failed woefully. Alas, we are still in the throes of the wonderment of an economic state they left us in.
Who does not know that comparatively Obasanjo's government had better directions and achievements than GEJ's? In the 2nd term of Obasanjo (no doctorate o) when he decidedly used professionals to man the posts instead of political affiliates the cookies crumbled. It happens only in Naija. It would seem only the President mattered and as a matter of fact he 'shouldn't' have trails of degrees.
We don't need experimentation at this time. Enough is enough.
Adeosun did not leave Ogun State in shambles contrary to suggestions. A lot was achieved under her pragmatic style. Her consultations with stakeholders are good signs of willingness to work with relevant bodies to deliver.
All professors are not great people o. And all great people are not professors. grin

I know this isn't related to the topic, but I want your views on the CBN MPC held on the 23rd and 24th of this month.

I for one think that the decision to cut lending rates by 2 percent is a plus....
I cannot say that really for other decisions taken.

What's your take on the decisions below?

The Committee’s Decisions

In consideration of the weakening fundamentals of the economy, particularly the low output growth, rising unemployment and the uncertainty of the global economic environment, the MPC, by a vote of 8 out of 10, reduced the MPR from 13.0 to 11.0 per cent while 2 members voted for a retention of the rate at 13.0 per cent; 7 members voted to reduce the Cash Reserve Requirement (CRR) from 25.0 per cent to 20.0 per cent while 3 members voted to hold. In addition, 8 members voted for an asymmetric corridor of +2/-7 per cent while 2 voted to retain the symmetric corridor of +/-2 per cent around the Monetary Policy Rate (MPR).

The MPC emphasized that the liquidity arising from the reduction in the CRR to 20 per cent, will only be released to the banks that are willing to channel it to employment generating activities in the economy such as agriculture, infrastructure and solid minerals.

In summary, the MPC voted to:

(i) Reduce the CRR from 25.0 per cent to 20.0 per cent;

(ii) Reduce the MPR from 13.0 per cent to 11.0 per cent;

(iii) Change the symmetric corridor of 200 basis points around the MPR to an asymmetric corridor of +200 basis points and -700 basis points, around the MPR.

It depends on what is prompting it. Ordinarily, a cut in lending rate at this time will weaken the Naira and increase inflation but they are justifying it on the basis of providing a boost to the economy. I feel the CBN should concentrate on fighting inflation and should not have cut the lending rate. Boosting the economy should be left to the FG via fiscal policy and structural reforms.

Whilst the stated reasons for cutting lending rates are to boost the economy, the CBN's rate cut might be prompted by an unstated reason:distress in the banking system.
