Dr Oby Ezekwesili Reacts To President Buhari's Request To The World Bank To Focus On Northern-Eastern Nigeria.

Dr Oby Ezekwesili has been very critical of the Buhari Administration in recent times and this has also earned her criticism from President Buhari's supporters, but she said that the fact that she stands on the side of truth means that she will say the truth about anyone, regardless of whether they consider her to be a friend or an enemy.

And therefore she decided to say the truth about President Buhari’s request to the World Bank to focus on the North-East. Remember that she served as vice president of the World Bank, so she knows how the organisation works.

The question and answer that led to the controversy

musicwriter:


Yes, I know more than her, not about her job, but why the world bank is there to begin with.

FriendNG:
Pigs come and insult Oby. Call her use and dump as usual.

Oby who was once in the position of Kim see no wrong in moving focus to North East Nigeria.






The conflict of Boko Haram affect the whole north. There isn't a region without a bomb blast in the north during the last administration.

Infact Jos (NC) and Kano (NW) suffered insurgency more than Gombe state and Taraba of Northeast.

And North West is now safe in the hands of Pmb and not the lies you're trying to paint.

Tell me when last bomb blast happen in Northwest and North central since the coming of this new administration and I will list countless number of bomblast in these two regions b4 the coming of Buhari.


You must not lie to make your point.

Arysexy:


Can u compare d Biafra war devastation where d whole east was leveled to d ground with what happened in d NE? How did Nigeria rehabilitate the East after d war?

GavelSlam:


From reading 2 books you stumbled upon?

You now known more about the World Bank than a Havard trained former VP with the same world Bank.

And you have never even been considered to compose a theme song for trebor peppermint, your strong point?

kannymoore:


erm sir..

but the size of the whole east isn't even up to Borno State na?

we're not even talking of the whole NE oh..

just Borno....

rifasenate11:
please Aunty Oby, are you saying for fact that the president of world back who is highly disciplined is lying??. well, I cannot blame you at all, PMB has done what is unimaginable Alright. it maybe hard for you to believe it. but, a lot of people don't need to be told by the president of world back, that PMB is a sectional bAstrd.

fergie001:
Nigeria is a theatre of comedies.

Obiageli Ezekwesili is always a controversial figure but I think she knows her onions,and she had spoken really well.
On her account,she had stressed on the fact that no matter how she is abused,she will stand on the side of truth.
In fact,she had spent the first 4 or 5 pages pressing that she doesn't care,and all that.She needn't do that.

She made valid points on post-conflict areas and N/E precisely(more than once)and her calls were in CONFLICT with the UN scribe's assertions.
But Jim's statements were Northern Regions,and he said that more than once.The last time we checked N/W and N/C,until PMB came in were not hot-beds.
The truth is that Buhari has shown to be very ethnic in virtually everything he does,hence any intent is attributed to his true person.
No matter,how the likes of "Madam Due Process" whitewash this lie,Kim doesn't know afonja,arewa or ipob,and he stated it as he was told.

"Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love."

do you know the hundreds of millions of dollars in aid that has been given & pledged to assist the reconstruction of the North East? was there any complain about that?

when BH started with the destruction of churches & killings of non-muslims, didn't the North keep quiet because the destruction was targeted at non-salafists?


the problem with you & your ilk is that you dabble into areas you have no knowledge, but because you lot make a lot of noise, you think you are knowledgeable in that area.

you say the ND has being receiving interventions, fine, hasn't the North also being receiving same?

you say villages are non existent, do you know the number of areas in the ND that have become inhospitable because of the reckless oil exploration? at least once BH is 'defeated' people in the North can go back to their villages, some villages in the ND will remain inhospitable for at least 50 years...


look, take your myopic view elsewhere. argue with your fellow airheads please.

As a man from the Niger Delta I insist oil exploration hardly ever is the cause of pollution in the Niger Delta.

There is a global standard for oil exploration and it is no different in the Niger Delta.

The oil industry is big on HSEQ, this everybody knows.

The main reason for oil pollution in the Niger Delta is restiveness and outright criminality.

Oil exploration is carried out in most sedimentary basins of the world with very little fallout by way of pollution.

The big question should be why is this the case in the Niger Delta?

I am not afraid to tell the truth regardless of whose ox is gored.

bkool7:


Did Ipob bomb anywhere in the East?

or was there war in the East?

CharleyBright:
.Dear Mr President, I was never your fan and so i was indifferent even as i partially supported your election as President because I wanted the Past GEJ Administration out of office cos of their flagrant corruption.
Two years after your election, you have shown all the traits that made me not to be your fan. Stubbornness, high handedness, I-know- it -all attitude, Religious bigotry, Sectionalism, Nepotism and Administrative incompetence has been your way. They are still very much in u.
Dear Mr President, When it is needful for you to voice your thoughts on burning issues, you always chose to be silent because it involves your kith and kin. And whenever you chose to talk, you spew your bigotry nature and tear the country apart along ethnic and religious lines.
Dear Mr President, your request to the world bank chief to focus on and favor the North is an attestation of your Nepotic inclination and very synonymous with your 95% to 5% acrimonious analogy.
Nigeria has never been this divided like is it in last two years since your election.
Dear Mr President, you wanted the record so badly to be a Military Head of State as well as civilian President. You came, you have seen, you have conquered. That's enough.
We wanted Corruption out, but you came with your Bigotry to add to the corruption. Indeed Nigerians are worse off than they were during the past administration.
Dear Mr President, come 2019, do Nigerians some good and pack yourself out of Aso Rock.
We will do our duty to pray we don't have another you as occupant of that villa.

gists:

Just listen to yourself.

Chukazu:


What nonsense are you is " listening to yourself"

Was it WORLD BANK that decided on their own to focus on the North or Buhari advised them to do so

like I told the other bloke...

do not argue on issues you have no idea about...

Arysexy:



Whatever suites ur gullible mindset, and if East is d size of an anthole, isn't that a better reason why Nigeria would have rehabilitated d East without much stress?

My question again remains, did Nigeria rehabilitate the East she bombed to ashes after d bloody 3 yrs war? Yes or No?

GavelSlam:


I laugh at laymen quoting sources which are often out to achieve a certain objective. Did you find any specific quote of an operation by the oil companies resulting in spills?

You wouldn't find any. But it is easy to blame the same companies and contractors, who apply the same procedures that work elsewhere including other parts of the gulf of Guinea, yet somehow doesn't seem to work in the Niger Delta.

Oil exploration has a universal best practice whether in Nigeria or in fact, anywhere else in the world.

It is the intrinsic Nigerian flaw of avarice that makes comprise or outright recklessness in matters beyond the control of the oil companies which often lead to spillage.

If you choose to be thorough. please quote specific incidents that resulted in oil spills being recorded in the Niger Delta, Just one.

I mean give us an example of an operation carried out by any contractor resulting in an oil spill incident and stop this parochial approach to questions.

You probably will go back to the 80's to find specific accidents.


Of all the local 'refineries' you see on the news as well as boats laden with illegally obtained oil, how many apply proper health and safety mechanisms in the act of operation?

The fact that she felt the need to explain herself before her truth shows that she is trying to convince herself of her Truth.

ivandragon:



lol.


when faced with facts, you begin to speak unnecessary grammar.

you are just ranting. that's why a lot of you are referred to as kids.

go & research on the oil spills of 1956-1996. go & read empirical works on the matter.

in one of the links I gave you, there is a UNEP report on the issue.

but in your usual beer palour style analysis, you choose to speak out of ignorance & deem yourself knowledgeable.


better find your fellow beer parlour analyst that you can deceive with high-faluting nonsense.
