Ngozi Okonjo Iweala by mekaboy(m): 4:06pm On Jan 28, 2015
This is a political season when Nigerians are blinded by sentiments an d believe whatever suits them.

This woman has been a life saver to the Nigerian economy for up to more than 10years now. Unfortunately majority of Nigerians know very little about economics and will not humble themselves to be tutored. Majority of these people are less busy and are all over the internet making the most noise.

The battle line is drawn between the PDP and APC, and she has be caught in the line of fire.

Today some of the opposition say obasanjos govt was far better than this current administration. They say our economy was far better. Chukwuma soludo has also lended his voice praising obasanjos administration. They are now saying Gejs economic team are incompetent.

Now the obasanjo administration that is so praised today, had the same Okonjo iweala behind the scene. She negotiated for the cancellation of the countries debt.

She is the pioneer of the ECA excess crude account under obasanjo. She suggested that Nigeria should save for the rainy day.

She began emphasise one the need to save and diversify our economy. She exposed the loop holes of subsidy scame which prompted Gej to attempt a total removal of the subsidy. This met stiff resistance, to the extent that there was massive protest sponsored by the beneficiaries.

Billions of Naira has been saved from the subsidy and removal of ghost workers. These funds are used in various programs like you win, free maternal healthcare, road rehab etc.

They woman did so well that obasanjo recommend her as VP as a condition to support buhari during the time he contested with pastor tunde bakare.

If obasanjo who is now seen as the hero has so much respect for her, why dont we ?

Now, she is under jonathans administration and she is said to be the worst finance minister ever.

Why is that?

Because she caused the Naira to fall. Once again this lack of knowledge in things that have to do with economics is on display.

Finance minister cannoy and does not interfere with the decisions of the central bank. It is only the central bank that has the power to devalue the naira.

They finance minister also has no power over the movement of the oil price ib the global market. Most Nigerians also do not know that it is the fall in oil prices that caused the naira to fall.

The opposition made up of governors in APC are now brainwashing Nigerians to believe that Gejs economic team ins incapable of handling our economy, that is why the naira is falling and we need change. Unfortunately those who know nothing about economics have bought these lies and are about to make the worst mistake of their lives.

The reason our naira is falling is because of the greed of both PDP and APC. When she came in, we had 4billion dollars in the ECA which was her idea. She managed to raise this savings to 9billion in a space of 3years. She now advised the president that Nigeria needs to save more because there are rough days ahead. She let him know that the oil prices will fall and this will affect us badly if we dont havr enough savings. The president supported her idea 100% , and also released enough funds in the area of agriculture to diversify our economy.

However the state governors, some of who have joined opposition said "NO". They said the money in the ECA must be shared, they threatened and even took the federal govt to court. Today the money has been shared, the oil prices have fallen, the central bank has deeped their hands into the remaining reserves to try and strengthen the naira, but it is still falling.

Guess what?

They same governors who shared the money, have joined the opposition and are calling the administration incompetent. Blaming the finance minister for the woes they brought upon the nation., aand asking for CHANGE.

Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala gives me hope, she is the single reason i consider supporting GEJ.

Our country will face tough times ahead, due to the greed of the governors. It will only take a professional like NOI to bail us out again like she did during obj.

Most Nigerians dont understand the challenges that are ahead of us. This is why they are calling for buhari who does not understand economics, who said he will stablize global oil price to come and rule this nation.

Calling on Osibanjo who said Nigeria should use the subsidy funds to cook for school children to become vice president.

When the school children eat the seed and flush it down the toilet, how will more jobs be created?

99% of Nigerians are corrupt. For you to climb the lather to presidency you must step of corruption to get there. That is why buhari needs people like tinubu.

Now when you start attacking corrupt individuals, who brought u there, thy will use religion and ethnicity to incite the people against u. So they best way to do it is to close the source of the leakage.This is what Gej has done in the area of fertiliser, subsidy and ghost workers. This has saved Nigeria billions, unfortunately created alot of enemies. Do not be decieved that all these people shouting change change are doing so in the interest of the citizens.

40% of the opposition are those who believe power must return to a particular location. 50% are those whose illegal source of looting has been blocked by this administration. They remaining 10% are the Nigerian electorate who have been brainwashed to believe this administration is responsible for all their problems, even those most of the agents of change were part of the same administration they now condemn.

Do nt forget this is a democratic govt buhari will face stiff opposition from the senate, so he will not be able to tackle corruption the military way.
