Good!


That text-book-economist of a woman that is bereft of practical application and good policies does not even deserve to be awarded a 'certificate of attendance' not to talk of the honorary one.

She helped that clueless effete to lead us to the hypabyssal of economic quagmire and epilepsy.

Martins301:
The honour should be withdrawn sharp sharp. If it must be given to her, then the reason shouldn't be that she fought corruption and ensured fiscal transparency in Nigeria cos thats a wicked lie.

Jealous and devious yoruba (ofe*mmanu) rats(people) fighting the ibo people since 1815.

Am proudly Igbo and I do not believe anything u just typed.





Why try to use tribal sentiment to cover an evil act. Or are you trying to say Aunty Ngozi deserves d award. Or just because she is Igbo, then we all should turn blind eye?
You are just a tribal bigot

zicoraads:
Jobless APC apologists.
Jobless dults...the whole lot of them!
Your mates are working and thinking of bettering their lives, and even being recognised for their achievements, some jobless noisemakers and useless Iguanas are babbling for Yale to withdraw what?

Keep making noise on nairaland why she keeps getting international recognition. I don't know if some of these illiterates think the awards from Yale is the same as that which is given to individuals by Nigerian Universities. Senselessness!

I completely agree with you. I used to respect this woman a lot but all that changed during the fuel subsidy issue when this so-called intellectual economist was saying that Nigeria will go broke if we keep paying for subsidy. Mtcheeeww..why can't she advocate for reduction in cost of governance and other excesses if we were truly broke.

I can't wait to see the new set of ministers who will propel us out of this mess into our true potentials and glory

Am proudly Akwaibomite and so much believe that who God bless no man man. Pls why do u yoruba's hate anything good coming from Igbo tribe? Why do you Yorubas like to backstabber and bad mouth anything igbo? even we Akwaibomite are not leftout because outside our state, we are being generalize as Igbos becos we are fair and does similiar things like igbos. You yorubas hate our own Africa and world heroe Chinue Achebe even when Kenyans, Zimbabwes, and the rest of the world love him because he is an Igbo man. You Yorubas hate Chimemanda Adichie, a young intelligent lady that have won many awards and made Africa pride because her only sin is that she is an Igbo lady. You Yorubas were busy writing rubbish in Chelsea FC website about John Mickel Obi, just because his an Igbo, abusing the young man who have won more medals and trophies than all the yoruba footballers join together. Where is John Mikel mate Taye Taiwo(yoruba)? Now yorubas again trying hard to tanish the image of Prof. Ngozi Okonjo Iwela our own and the only Africa woman to be World Bank director general, just because she is an Igbo woman. Yorubas why are u people so envious, evil with put him down attitude? no wonder Sanusi said Yorubas are problems of Nigeria. Yorubas pls live and let Igbos live, live and let Niger Deltas live, live and let Goodluck Jonathan live. Yorubas get a life and stop senseless media propangada

"YALE UNIVERSITY GAVE ITS PRESTIGIOUS HONORARY DOCTORATE DEGREE TO AN UNDESERVING NIGERIAN"

:Ngozi Iweala, the outgoing Nigeria's finance minister was awarded a honorary doctorate degree by Yale University on May 15, 2015. The citation from the Yale University reads:"Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Doctor of Humane Letters. You are a citizenof your country, your continent, and the world. Shaped by challenging experiences during your childhood in Nigeria, you have made social and economic reform your mission. As Nigeria’s coordinating minister of economic development and minister of finance, you have tackled corruption, created a vision and path to long-term economic stability, and worked to build a culture of transparency. At the World Bank, you made food securitya priority and provided policy adviceand capital for the world’s poorest countries. With wisdom, a fierce dedication to doing what is right, and unflagging energy, you have transformed the economic landscape of your nation. We are proud to name you Doctor of Humane Letter"This citation from the Yale University does not reflect nor represent everything that has happened under the watch and the supervision of the Nigerian economy by Ngozi Iweala as the nation's finance minister.

There is no tangible evidence of any economic development in Nigeria under the leadership of Ngozi Iweala in all reality. Nigeria's economy is still an oil-dependent economy that is debt and borrowingridden as well as 100% consuming and importing in nature. Nigeria's debt profile has risen rapidly under Ngozi Iweala and Nigeria has borrowed over $2 billion in the last four months alone to pay salaries ofthe federal and state civil servants.Our foreign reserves and excess crude oil accounts have both depleted heavily under Ngozi Iweala. The recurrent expenditures in the federal budgets reached the highest levels which made capital development practically impossible in Nigeria under Ngozi Iweala. The board of regents of this ivy league school missed it completely by awarding their prestigious honorarydoctorate degree to an undeserving Nigerian in all truth, honesty and reality. The Nigeria's economy has remained the same under Ngozi Iweala without any evidence of its diversity from oil.

The Nigerian Naira crashed to its lowest value in its history under Ngozi Iweala. The true picture that Yale University missed is the fact that the economy of Nigeria has almost grounded to its final halt today which will makes its a daunting task for the incoming administration of General Muhammadu Buhari to meet its campaign promises.The menace of official corruption and financial scandals have both reached their peaks in Nigeria underNgozi Iweala. A central bank governor was fired for disclosing that $20 billion was missing from the federal coffers and this allegation was investigated in a shady and questionable manner. The oil subsidy scam that cheated Nigeria's tax payers of trillions of Naira was coordinated and supervised by Ngozi Iweala. The culture of official corruption and state resource mismanagement were both honored, celebrated, protected and defended under the leadership of Ngozi Iweala as the supervising coordinator of the Nigerian economy. To give a honorary doctorate degree to an undeserving Nigerian by this world's reknown university is the biggest slap on the faces of the 180 million Nigerians in 2015.

I am using this social medium to appeal to the board of regents of this prestigious university to withdraw this honorary degree that they awarded to this Nigerian immediately and without any furtherdelay for the sake of posterity.
