The powers given to her are too much but most of the ministers are political jobbers, if they feel they can not work in that environment, let them resign, abi na by force. |

hercules07: Indeed. Personally, I feel Okonjo Iweala's second coming is a misadventure for her. It is my opinion that GEJ , rather than sincerely seeking a reformer, just wanted a character with clout to give his Government of "political jobbers" some credibility. We have seen insincerity from GEJ far too much for anyone to think he has the political will to attempt giving Iweala a free hand. Below , already, the EFCC and ICPC have denied being up to speed with Iweala's thinking. They claim ignorance of the "big three cases" she has identified for prosecution. Even if they are in the dark should they go public with that thus exposing the haphazard operation of a team where the left hand does not know what the right is doing? I think Iweala will becomes to GEJ what Ribadu became to Yar Adua . http://www.punchng.com/Articl.aspx?theartic=Art201108283553064 EFCC, ICPC not aware of Okonjo-Iweala’s three big corruption cases |

Re: Ministers Unhappy With President’s Directive To Cooperate With Okonjo-Iweala by Nobody: 2:01pm On Aug 28, 2011 |
The truth of the matter is that jonathan sees iweala as the messiah we've been waiting for.Even if she tries to bring economic policy that will turn Nigeria around,is she also the one to monitor corruption in all aspect of our government ? |
Re: Ministers Unhappy With President’s Directive To Cooperate With Okonjo-Iweala by mekaboy(m): 2:09pm On Aug 28, 2011 |
They are all scared of what this might lead to, all these corrupt ministers who are there to loot and spend the nations money on girls, why will they be comfortable, if they have nothing to hide what's the panic? Just looking for excuse, yes jonathan knows the criminals who he had to appoint as ministers because that's a pdp agreement and he had no choice- but on the other hand he wants his government to have a positive impact in the nation and the only way to do it is to subject all the criminals that were apointed ministers under someone who has a clean record and is willing to change this nations economy. Yes her position is of high priority, because all the other ministries depend of finance to function. |

The particular Minister who made those comments should be SACKED immediately for questioning the directive of his boss,is it not obvious that Okonjo-Iweala is among the very few Ministers who were chosen on merit and not out of sentiments to satisfy various political interests.How can the President value any of them when they came lobbying at all cost for their various positions as against Okonjo-Iweala whom he had to lobby himself.They had better obey that directive and forget about sentiments about her being a woman and all OR get sacked as there cannot be any progress in our economic policy implementation if there is no one to call the shots as most of these Ministers are no better than our Governor's who plunder the allocations to their Ministries. |

I love iweala! She is so humble yet intelligent! And SHE IS DAMN RIGHT. There was absolutely no point for the president to make such statements, afterall, he was the one that appointed those ministers. Such statements will prevent co operation among the ministers EXCEPT the president appointed those who he knows,will steal our money and that does not make sense. Guys, let's learn to be honest with ourselves! The statement GEJ made was not right. My two penny! As for iweala, may God give you the wisdom and fortitude to improve our country! Amen! |

Re: Ministers Unhappy With President’s Directive To Cooperate With Okonjo-Iweala by hercules07: 2:39pm On Aug 28, 2011 |
GEJ does not know how to inspire, it is a position that he is not qualified for, there is a way you lay down the marker for your guys while still inspiring them, can anybody walk through fire for GEJ? The ministers are politicians so they do not have any sense of worth, they are just there to chop that is why they cannot resign, Okonjo Iweala needs to relate with them as colleagues, bring them closer to her and treat them as equals (even when she knows they are clearly inferior). The man shirking his responsibilities is the President, I wish Okonjo well but she should not talk about paying any foreign debts now ooooo. |
Re: Ministers Unhappy With President’s Directive To Cooperate With Okonjo-Iweala by kokoA(m): 2:44pm On Aug 28, 2011 |
All ministers are equal, but some are 'more equal' than others. The earlier they shut up their mouth and start cooperating with 'madam fix it', the better for them. Abi dem no sabi say even Ebele dey fear dat madam? Kai! to go Havard swweeet oooo |
Re: Ministers Unhappy With President’s Directive To Cooperate With Okonjo-Iweala by solomon229: 2:50pm On Aug 28, 2011 |
Has anybody noticed some improvements in GEJ PR since the coming of Abati? Unlike Ima Niboro days I have noticed some marginal plus and really wish more of Abati and Okonje hold sway in GEJ decision making process. GEJ taking decisions with those VDV ministers and without Okonjos or Abatis is a dailly wahala, even for those of us that never voted/supported him. GEJ dropped another bomb-shell yesterday at the UN bomb scene in front of the whole world and I am very sure he has not reharsed answer to that particular question with Abati before coming to the scene. GEJ has no verifiable records of problem solving and really needs Okonjo for the Nation's economic direction now. What I disagree with is his method of officially declaring Okonjo superior to other Ministers in an FEC meeting. All he needs is just a body language and all the ministers will get the message without much rancour. My fear now is that GEJ as the president with uncoordinated and well-thought-through statements is exposing these Super minister to danger from politicians that are used to killing anything that impede their looting freedom. Congratulations to all objective NL GEJ critics as some of your efforts are yielding results albeit slowly. GEJ got the Salami message and Katsina-Alu has been eased out, he was forced to come to UN bomb scene in 'Oshiomole' patented outfit just the way NL expect only for the 'bad' journalist to ask a difficult question to spoil the good show. NL critics should please keep up the heat on GEJ because whether we like it or not we are stuck with him till 2015. |

kokoA:Yes, iweala is madam fix it but there other ways to build your government around her than to make such statements. This is will motivate the ministers to steal more since GEJ never expected anything good from them to begin with . |

@Topic, Clearly GEJ has made them understand it's not business as usual. Sometimes it is good to sound tough so that those ministers will understand that they are in government for the benefit of the people and not for themselves. And there is indeed nothing to complain about if they are motivated by service delivery. A few of them who realises that lining their pockets with loots from National Treasury will be checkmated by the prudent and detailed Okonjo Iweala are the ones that would make the most noise - empty barrels. Those unhappy ministers will be mainly those with vested interest with little to offer in term of innovation. Finally, my understanding is that Ministerial appointment is like many other appointment, if you don't like the condition of service you ship-out! Nigerians want serious and dedicated people, not those with the mindset of business as usual. GEJ is right here; calling the bluff of the so-called unhappy ministers should be the next step! It's not by force to work as a minister! Change must be embraced! |
Re: Ministers Unhappy With President’s Directive To Cooperate With Okonjo-Iweala by Gbawe: 3:35pm On Aug 28, 2011 |
The big picture is that productivity cannot thrive amidst rancour and discontent. Any true leader would know that. How can you tell Ministers , equal to Iweala on paper even if she has more duties, that they will be sacked if they do not cooperate with her? I understand GEJ's desperation . As a man forced to accept so many AGIPs (eg Haliru Bello) and 'Voltron' mediocrities (eg AGF If all the Ministers are truly GEJ's choice ,and he selected them purely on merit , there would be no need at all to warn otherwise competent individuals , perhaps the best available to Nigeria, to cooperate with Iweala or face the sack. You only talk to shameless political jobbers and sycophantic AGIPs that way and never technocrats and experts who know there own worth and have always delivered. What Nigeria really needed , and probably would have gained under Buhari or Ribadu, is a cabinet of proven experts and patriots , with outstanding record of achievements, who can work well together to deliver success . It is senseless to pack your cabinet with mediocrities and AGIPs and put the onus of success or failure on one person. It is not fair to Iweala and the strategy will fail woefully in my opinion. It is a situation Nigeria could have avoided if most had understood that we needed a President who can be his own man and appoint performers at all levels and for virtually every position. |

Guess what the Ministers are concerned about is cutting down their budgets, so they can chop more money. Nice move by GEJ Fresh Air all the way |
Re: Ministers Unhappy With President’s Directive To Cooperate With Okonjo-Iweala by Myself2(m): 3:42pm On Aug 28, 2011 |
Gbawe: I disagree with you there.Your claim only applies to a scenario where the ministers have been known to be productive in the first instance,but I'm afraid our ministers have been mostly corrupt political jobbers and thieves,right from the brazen ones like Tony Anenih to hypocrites like Nasir El Rufai |
Re: Ministers Unhappy With President’s Directive To Cooperate With Okonjo-Iweala by kizito96(m): 3:44pm On Aug 28, 2011 |
The situation is now tight for them, because Iwuala has introduced checks and balances in the system, prudent management and accountability. Take it or leave it, she is in-charge of disbursement and operation show us what you want to do with the money and go through due process. Nigerians hate truth |

Re: Ministers Unhappy With President’s Directive To Cooperate With Okonjo-Iweala by semidaraeb(m): 3:50pm On Aug 28, 2011 |
What is the big deal about telling them to corporate with her or get sacked. It happens everywhere, am sure even in our offices (private sector) we are told or odered to work with some certain group of people or answer to someone we feel we are better than or not comfortable reporting to and when such directives are handed down don't we comply as it is also a form of checks and balances so if she has come to TRULLY help get the economy running why are they complaining. If not for the fact that they are bloody politicians and corrupt minded people why not resign if they are not comfortable with such a directive afterall they can't say it because they cannot make ends meet or no other job for them since they were probably into one form of business or another. Please enough of sentiments. Let give her a chance to see if she can do the JOB she was appointed to do. And if she does not perform then she too can as well be asked to go. Nigeria is bigger than one person or a group of people. QED |
