New Cabinet: Oby Ezekwesili Opts Out by HighChief4(m): 5:24pm On Jun 22, 2011
AHEAD of next week’s expected submission of President Goodluck Jonathan’s list of ministerial nominees to the Senate, facts emerged, yesterday, that the former Minister of Education, Mrs. Oby Ezekwesili was said to have been contacted, but she was not too keen about leaving her World Bank job for Nigeria now.

Her former colleague in the cabinet, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala former Minister of Finance has accepted to serve in the yet to be constituted cabinet of President Goodluck Jonathan because of her passion for Nigeria.

Vanguard gathered, yesterday, that Ngozi, a Managing Director of the World Bank bowed to pressure from President Jonathan of the need to come and help him succeed in his drive to reform the economy and the country, even as the President was said to have begged her passionately to accept the job.

While many nominees were working hard to sustain their names on the list, erstwhile finance minister and Managing Director of the World Bank, Dr. Mrs. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, was on her part alleged to have set forth conditions for her to serve in the cabinet.

It was learnt that President Jonathan met with Okonjo-Iweala during his recent visit to the United States where he made the offer to her. SSS officials meanwhile have rebuffed claims that a number of nominees were refused screening by the service.

The Ministerial list so far:

According to another newspaper, she only agreed to serve after serious pressure from within and without, and on the acceptance by Mr presido of some of her conditions

I dont intend to compare me to her, but I know why they pick her. I know her life story from start to the end.

why do jonathan goodluck want me back in nigeria.  so he want the real segun.   I sound sweet over the internet abi.   

I believe a society must help its people. And I am not about myself. I am about my people.  since I know millions of life depend on me.

you have to do better than that, to get me return back to nigeria.

Sometimes I do not understand you. I thought you are a man of principle and whose belief in merging Yorubaland with Dahomey will not change. Why do you want to serve in Nigeria?.

He might still be under consideration since no name was mentioned in the list from Lagos.
Re: New Cabinet: Oby Ezekwesili Opts Out by musiwa45: 11:44pm On Jun 22, 2011
andrew, where in the statement did I change. I said I know who she is.

I do believe so, after I have looked at the satellite pictures. I grew up with alot of Igbo people. that why I understand Igbo. What they are trying to do is win me over.

I do not hate any nigerian ,  i love nigeria than most of you people.  you can go and find out, I dont have hate in me. My vice principle in secondary school. Is C Nwagwu wife. the former director of currency at the central bank. he is the one whose signature use to be on the nigeria naira.  She will tell you, I had alot  of Igbo and Hausa friend as a child. So it is not an issue of hating anyone. but an issue with the satellite picture. And I dont want nigeria to have a civil war.

I will not be risking been charge for treason under nigeria law, if I was not trying to save people life. I know the life of 150,000,000 people depend on me and the satellite picture that i tell the truth. Knowing nigeria history, it will lead to a civil war.

I know mary onyali. On if I will return back to Nigeria . I will .  but I believe , people in nigeria can have a better life. and I can make that change with nearly 2 decade abroad. 

I know the system very well over here to make change. 
i get the feeling  Jonathan goodluck want me back in nigeria.  i am too open mind to speak the truth, can jonathan goodluck listen to the truth.

Andre Uweh , I am like a key that can turn impeachment on Jonathan or save Jonathan goodluck from impeachment.  since ACN is in control of the south west. I know most of them.

So when the north throw impeachment. he want to be able to block it.  but it this way, my friend and schoolmate father is the president of Christ apostolic church, I know redeemed church very well. my friend father started the celestial church of Christ. I know those in control of baptist church in Nigeria. the Anglican church head, sword of the spirit, and many of the church.

I have strong family root. that  can block an impeachment in the senate and house of representative.   That why I think Jonathan Goodluck want me back in Nigeria. base on some of his appointment.


this how the house look like, they will impeach him.

And you, i can change the life of Nigerian, by what I know. I dont say it. i know so.

Re: New Cabinet: Oby Ezekwesili Opts Out by musiwa45: 1:17am On Jun 23, 2011
Andre Uweh, because i know many igbo people dont change the satellite pictures. we still have problem in nigeria.

Because you have passion to serve does not mean you cannot dictate your terms and conditions to accept to serve under cretins and in a lunatic environment.

He would be making 5 times that whichever private firm he joins now with the connections he brings and contracts/deals he can facilitate after being a Nigerian Finance Minister.

Finance institutions will be fighting to get him.

And, how much is that? Do you know what it means to serve as a minister in Nigeria? The fact is it fetches you millions.

You really understand how it works. He's an insider for life. IMF, finance institutions, etc will be happy to have him. He's a gem to them right now.

And, he's made some dough, too

made some dough keeee hes' made dodo, more than dough,

most of our reserves are even held in GS as security, anyway,

but all the same the stigma of bn dumped after a very short ineffective stint at the helm  of the Finance Ministry might not go down well with him
personally and globally as well from a reputation standpoint

No be everybody ;like money, some get pride, he for no come at all,

There is nothing special that Okonjo is bringing to the table that Aganga wld not bring, he just does not have the know how of how to
handle these clowns, simple as.

what's the odds on Okonjo resigning again,

one mind tells me she has a Political Agenda or she is bn promised one. (make she go ask Donald Duke of Peter Odili)

9ja people are putting her on a Cockroach Horse, eshin ayan,

when she falls eeehn,,, = when she jabo's, na 4 free fall oooooooooo,
