Where did she keep our money that her regime earned?

What did she do with our money that previous regimes earned and saved?

How did our foreign reserves nose dive in a period we earned so much petro-dollars?

Why did she make withdrawals from the ECA without the authorizing FAAC approval that was never given?

Is she not a criminal for doing so?

Did she not deny doing so initially when rightly accused by Gov Adams Oshiomhole? Did she not later backtrack and agree she did so when Oshiomhole persisted with his accusations, but she still could not show any approval from the FAAC that is made up of the 36states of Nigeria and is the only authorizing entity before withdrawals can be made from the ECA?


You mean Oshiomole that is about to become a chairman of a party that just made a withdrawal from the same ECA without approval? A party whose president is being threatened with impeachment for that singular act? If they accused Jonathan of a wrong, shouldn't they know they shouldn't commit the same wrong? That shows nothing they say has credibility, they tell lies to get power and you are still believing their lies. Believe what emanate from APC at your peril.

Nigeria is a terrible country. I am interested in finding out who that rogue presidential aid is. Dr Okonjo-Iweala needs to let us know that.
Goodluck Jonathan was a huge disappointment and should never have been President of Nigeria.

You mean qualified kleptomaniac hands that could not save a kobo, but pillaged what previous regimes had saved?

Why do you think so little of the quality of service you are entitled to as a Nigerian?

I don't appreciate the current failure, so why would I appreciate a past failure that had been rightly discarded in the dustbin of sack?

I laugh in qualified hands.

I received a message that a top ranking presidential aide wanted me to stop by his office any time I was in the Villa. The Villa is the equivalent of the White House. This official was one of the important aides in the Villa. So, I went to his office the next day. The presidential aide told me that he wanted to convey a message to me that they were people not happy with the port reforms especially the abolishment of the Cargo Tracking Note. And he asked me, indeed advised me to reinstate it.

The person does not have a name ?

Look at this zombie.

Why not tell the PDP regime you enslaved yourselves to for 16yrs, to reveal to faithful zombies like you what they handed over to the current regime?

Or is the author of the handover note without a copy of its own report that can be considered not tampered by the current government?

Why the apologies by PDP over its woeful performance that led to its sacking from government?

Or has Okonjo-Iweala denied her own statements while in office, that the economy was heading to a nosedive?
The same nosedive that saw her borrowing N470b to pay federal civil servant salaries from February 2015 onwards the end of that ignoble, kleptomaniac and clueless regime?

My questions have been answered, that is why I know that Jonathan was a thief who was using unallocated defence funds to cater for his re-election. I know the likes of greedy Olisa Metuh and the smart ones who agreed to return their loot, would have wanted the kleptomaniac PDP to continue in power so they can continue to steal without satisfaction. I know the likes of Diezani Allison-Madueke were sucking the country dry and empowering their cronies with oil deals that was depriving the federal purse of its due revenue. While the same useless regime failed to pay up its own part of counterpart funding for joint venture oil projects, that totaled up to $5b from 2010 to 2015.

I know that many like you who complain about the obvious corruption in this current regime, only do so because you are no longer part of the loot sharing formula, and not that you care about state of Nigeria. You are determined that you must return to the sharing table, rather than return to power to better Nigeria.

And the current minister of finance had aidded grass cutters and other corrupt officials without a word

So what day you ?

This woman has lost all credibility most discerning Nigerians had for her.

A Finance Minister under whose watch the economy was looted dry but could not take the honourable path out.

She watched on as waivers upon waivers for import duties were signed off by the Ineffectual Buffoon.

She watched as GEj and his gang of thieves looted the treasury till they started borrowing to pay salaries; she only found her voice when it was too late.

If there was any honour in her, she would have resigned long long ago before they were kicked out.

Very unpatriotic woman!

For your information, she is the first and only minister to have resigned in ths country from 1999. She also had the unpleasant experience of having her mother kidnapped, what was the condition for release of her aged mother? Resign as finance, so shut your pie hole......

Or was the government of Yar'Adua borrowing to pay civil servant salaries as Okonjo Iweala was doing at the end of her Jonathan regime?

Did she add 1 kobo to Nigeria's savings or foreign reserves?

As she failed woefully to add a kobo, did she not supervise the pillaging of savings and reserves previous regimes built without the benefit of the huge revenue earned due to high crude oil prices during Jonathan and Okonjo-Iweala's tenure?

Or what more seriousness should be ascribed to an obvious failure?

If you think Kemi Adeosun is a failure, then Ngozi Okonjo Iweala should have had her head guillotined already.

So all you have read daily about the factual looting of the country by the Jonathan regime is child's play to you?

Look into the mirror and see the problem of Nigeria staring back at you.

In NOI's case, resigning would have been weakness on her part. In fact, that would have delighted her adversaries.

So spare her.

Meanwhile, hope you remember her travails back then, including the kidnapping of her mum?

You and I can only imagine the magnitude of looting going on now.

What about the magnitude of looting that went on then and that you have the facts and figures of the billions of dollars looted. What do you have to say to that factual looting that had an Okonjo-Iweala as minister of finance?

Have you no words to say about the looting during the Jonathan regime that we all know of now. Was there no minister of finance then?

Can you give a single reason why the Jonathan regime and Okonjo-Iweala as finance minister and Diezani as petroleum minister, did not pay up the FG's counterpart funding for JV oil projects that eventually totalled about $5b between 2010 and 2015?

Were we too broke to pay that sum from all our earnings or the savings that the same regime ran aground?

I guess she was forced at gunpoint, during a world economic forum, to say that "GEJ lacked the political will to save". And her book "Fighting Corruption in Nigeria is Dangerous" was also what APC told me?

Excuses are the nail.cofdin.of failures

If I was appointed head of a multinational sales team a.d.imstead of delivering results I only kept blaming my failures on the past individual who.occupied that role do you think I would last on that role ?

Talking of the ineffectual buffoon and his failures serve only to distract from current failures

The world over knows how ineffectual the buffoon was hence the name that will stick with him forever

But to constantly banter this laughable excuse serves for nothing else other than comic relief

Kemi adesosun and this governmnet have failed massively and the corruption that has gone on in the last 3 years dwarfes the last 16 years out together

Where do I start ? Is it the increase of file.prices with the exucse of stopping all subsidy payments only for the NNOc gm to reveal infact this same governmnet had indeed been not just saying subsidy but at double.the amount ?

Where is this money going ? Why increase fuel prices ? Where is the excess from the increase in.fiel going ?.
