Let's set the record straight: Ngozi Okonjo Iweala was never dismissed. She resigned!

Obj, her boss at the time, even confirmed it that the final resignation was her third out of many occasions that she threatened to resign

On other two occasions, they begged her to stay and she did. The final one, nobody begged her.

Donald Duke is a bloody liar

She shows he's no different from other politicians

This is where you are wrong.

President Olusegun obasanjo as President and National leader of the PDP set up a 12 man panel of the most politically neutral fellows alive- some of whom are Ex-generals - and gave them PDP membership forms. The purpose of this committee was to nominate a candidate that's credible for the PDP to present for presidency and gave them access to Security files from the EFCC, DSS and NSA.

The Committee came up with 2 names, Yaradua for President and Donald Duke for Vice-President.

Yaradua humbly accepted while Donald Duke vehemently refused. Why!?

His said he considered the committee/Obasanjo's actions as dictatorial in nature, since his name didnt come as a result of a democratic process and was convinced that to accept such automatically made him Obasanjo's designated puppet.

Also Duke eyes was set only for president alone and nothing else, hence he saw this committee's work as a blockade and actually tried to resist it - didnt work out, not when Obasanjo is the Head Nigga in Charge.

If he knew Yaradua wasnt going to make it, trust me Donald being the schemer that he is would have accepted the panel's offer. Those who know him well, know he regrets his refusal day and night.

It was after Duke Refused that Jonathan was invited and he accepted, with hot bone-face pressure from Obasanjo himself.

This was why Obasanjo was offended when Jonathan replied his open letter to him with boldness because as a Governor, after the exit of alameseigha, when men like Obasanjo dey talk, na ground Jonathan dey look.....

Jonathan was recommended by the committee on the basis of his conduct during his boss travail when he was still deputy governor, not once did he challenge Alameseigha, nor try to acquire political capital from Alameseigha's demise/corruption/political scandal.

Infact, the same way he withdrew himself during Yaradua dark days was the same way he did during Alameseigha's scandal.

Plus he still put a good performance as governor after Alameseigha's tenure, no blemish, no scandals...
You most likely are right. The central theme of our posts remains the same. Duke is self serving incompetent.

She was SACKED. Obasanjo sacked her as finance minister and moved her to foreign affairs. She resigned as foreign affairs minister.
Obasanjo did not want to humiliate her by sacking her directly and so demoted her (foreign minister is one of the most important post in Nigeria and besides that is her area of core competence, she knows next to nothing about diplomacy ). So Obasanjo gave her the option of resignation to save face.


Goan read the definition of sack before u begin yarn dust.

She was transferred to another ministry, It's that simple. She revealed documents of OBJs illegal withdrawals to the Senate and OBJ still could sack her, All he could do was reassign her.

OBJ clearly knows that he cannot sack her, Such an idea would have created a huge scandal for Obasanjo and I will also bring internal n external condemnation.

OBJ knows that his government will lose credibility if he sacked a world bank director for no reason.

OBJ couldn't do shiit.

it is unfortunate most Nigerians dont know who Duke is. i was in the same shoes until i spent 8 months in calabar. yes he has a good infrastructural plan and did alot for the state but he killed more people than malaria during his tenure especially his political opponents. consider Buhari's impunity as primary school stuff while Dukes' is tertiary. any one from Calabar or was in calabar as at then, will bear me witness

Duke is many things to different people. To some, he is the best governor Nigeria has ever produce so far. While to others, he is a mafia king who deals ruthlessly with anyone who stand on his way of power. The later group draw their reference from the way he was alleged to have colluded with the State House of Assembly to impeach his then friend and deputy - Chief John Okpa in his first term.

What NOI said about him in her book is something that is very common with people from the South, especially the Akwa-Cross region who fine it difficult to support their own.

My name is wingmanII and if i had a decent mother i wouldn't call her a b1tch. But unfortunately my mother, is a LovePeddler, a shameless slut who goes around looking for d1ck to fvck. She also fvck's goats and camels. Shame.

In fact I'm a product of incest when my grandfather fvcked her because she begged desperately for it.

Sometimes she comes to my room too at night and I cum at her back. Yes I love my mom like that.

That's why they named me wingmanII. Because I look like a demon with wings. Don't pity me. It's what I am.

I thought I could have a constructive argument with you. With this comment below, I.am disappointed and what makes you think you deserve the efforts!
LordAdam16:


I'm not here to convince you. If I have to provide links for you on the widely publicized EPA EU-ECOWAS pact that all ECOWAS countries have signed except Nigeria, Gambia, and Mauritania, then you don't deserve the effort.

NOI was the Coordinating Minister of Economy. The EPA was discussed in FEC meetings, where all ministers are present and the FG came up with a response that they weren't going to give it their blessing. As the de-facto PM, she had the option to sell it directly to the President as a good deal if she was indeed a 100% IMF puppet. She had that direct line to GEJ, Aganga didn't. She had a direct line to Largarde (IMF MD), Aganga didn't.

Aganga responding to that is because of his portfolio--Minister for Industry, Trade, & Investments. NOI was higher-up the chain of command, Aganga was the spokesman/face of it. It's like YouWIN, she signed off on it; but she wasn't the face. She also signed off on the fertilizer subsidy revamp; but Adesina was the face of it. You'd know that if you read more, but you're waiting for me to spoon-feed you. Not gonna happen!

Saying "I should convince you," like how the f*ck is that my business.

Oh, you probably didn't know that towards the last months of Jonathan's presidency the federal government was actually borrowing money to pay salaries of federal government workers. Something that had never happened before in the history of Nigeria.

On point Duke. Ngozi Peperenpe was a figure head minister of finance. The govt refused to save in her tenure.

So how does that justify that magnitude of back stabbing on Jonathan? When you betray your own, you expect outsiders to trust you?

So you expect him to glorify NOI after she divulge a personal meeting between the two of them and then painted him black. Pls what is wrong in advising a friend not to take up an appointment that stain your image. Anyway we all can now see better that NOI is the worse finance minister that ever ruled.

Didn't know until now that a Finance Minister in Nigeria is considered to be a Ruler. Little wonder NOI keeps getting blamed for past governments' failure when she really could only advise but the ultimate decision wasn't hers. I get it now.

Most important thing is he confirmed what is in Dr NOI's book as true that he indeed met her. The other part of his tweet is his opinion and depends on the political divide of the individual reading the tweet. He is indirectly showing his true colours to the public.

At times, I wondered then in 2010, whether there was any element of truth in reports that many governors and leaders in President Jonathan's geopolitical region were not in support of his [bid for the] presidency. The answer now keeps getting clearer day by day.

Any idea where one can get that book? At least one of the person's talked about in the book just confirmed that the part on him is true.

Things are about to get messy.

But the dumbo neglected the South West which was about the only Geo political region who came all out to support his candidature and vote for him during the turai yaradua cabal debacle.

Well, karma came back to bite him in the ass.

NOI made the economy worse than when she met it to ironically the shithole economy was the fastest growing economy in Africa when she handled try according to MULTIPLE sources. Infact if I remember correctly wasn't there a time within her administration when that shithole had the highest GDP in Africa. A task you've retrogressed since she left.

Only in this poor excuse of a "country" do you repeatedly hear such stupidity. Abi the rest of the world dey lie when they ranked the economy positively sitting her adminstration. Tufiakwa!!!!!
I'm extremely glad she got herself out of that shithole fast. Everything about that place is disgusting to say the least. Crab in a box mentality is ridiculously high there.
