I read everything from top to bottom. Ngozi Okonjo Iweala must be held responsible for the gross misconduct in the handling of our economy. She is just an economist on paper. She is grossly incompetent and corrupt.[/size][size=8pt][size=8pt][/size] A situation where a minister of finance could not attend important meetings with the governors or giving the governors oral presentation on the state of the economy is a sign of incompetence and corruption. She has never presented the governors with facts written in black and white. From what Oshiomohle wrote, Okonjo Iweala has been avoiding the governors because she has been found wanting. Okonjo Iweala has been giving out waivers after waivers to importers. She has been depleting national treasury since the beginning of this administration. Ultimately, she has been spending and borrowing like a drunken sailor.

On the issue of oil theft, Jonathan and his cabals are responsible for that. How can oil theft be going on our waterways while Jonathan pays billions of naira to militants to secure the place?

Okonjo Iweale must be probed, interrogated and jailed for her gross misconduct.

First of all, thank you for summarizing.
Second of all if what you've written is correct then you're being unreasonable.

third: Okonjo is a world renowned economist, she is the 48 most powerful woman in the world according to Times and she has immensely more credibility in her profession than the governor calling her a paper economist. In fact the Oshiomle is the quack between the two of them.

Fourth: All this stuff about attending meetings with governors and giving governors slide presentations is so absurd I can't believe someone who claims to be a governor is not ashamed to mention them.
Okonjo works for the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. She does not work for ANY governor and is NOT ANSWERABLE to ANY governor. The man, and any other governor that expected her to stoop to a level less than that of a commissioner for them is silly, lazy, incompetent and does not deserve the title governor. He should go hire a competent commissioner of finance and face the business of govenoring his state!

Only in Nigeria do state "governors" go to the federal government begging like paupers. Only in Nigeria do the finances of states depend so much on the performance of the federal minister of finance. And ONLY in Nigeria do state governors complain like babies when the said minister does not have time for them.

Freetech:
Okonjo is a World Bank mole planted to return Nigeria to financial slavery. Soludo, Sanusi,, governors of all the states and even Nass warned and cautioned her handling of the economy but instead of responding with fact and figure, it is name calling and character assassination she used. She accomplished her goal. Nigerian back in financial slavery of World Bank with 60% of our debt owed to wb and the need to spend 21bln in debt servicing this year alone.

He (Adams) should keep quiet!!!!!! When this issue was raise in 2012 about the cabals and subsidy removal, what did he do? Useless set of criminals always knowing who to hold responsible excluding them

Thanks for the summary

The Minister of Finance is not supposed to be there [in the NEC]by the constitution

Coordination between the states and FG relates most importantly to transferring payments from the Federation account.This should be done by the CBN and NOT the Minister of Finance.The PDP distorted this

I don for laugh! "u b small u never chop since ytday" wetin u come find for NL. u too funny.

Never seen Nigerians happy like this cuz of a new government apart from the death of Abacha.... shows how worst this outgoing administration had been

This woman lost the respect i got for her during OBJ's administration... She just ridiculed and tarnished her image under this clueless administration...

omonnakoda:


What exactly is the source of her renown as an economist.Can you mention one publication that justifies such high praise.I am not aware of any scholars referencing her as a scholar in any reputable journals. She was an administrator at the World Bank not an "economist" .
The source of her "power" was her position not her person. Her position as Finance Minister. A power she has used destructively over the last 4 years like an out of control wild forest fire.

She works for Nigerians and part of her role as finance minister is to attend the NEC. She is accountable to the NEC

I do not understand what you mean by "stoop" ,A pilot in a plane has a responsibility to tell all passengers why the plane is vibrating or losing altitude .It is called responsibility. Her position is one of public service ,she is a public servant and some of her duties are statutory,they are mandated by law and do not amount to doing anyone a favour.In fact failure to perform statutory functions is criminal.
What is troubling is that citizens still reason in such a subservient way. She is not an elected official but a mere appointee and is not in any way superior to an elected governor who is asking for an account of his state's money that she has responsibility for transferring to him

I think we're getting to the same page here. Like I said, she should be held accountable but governors should not expect her to give accounts to them. All this nonsense is simply a way to distract people from their glaring failures as governors.

Utchman1:
I read every single word.

It is no wonder Nigeria is the way it is. It did not start today.

It is our Nigerian way of doing things. Okonjo-Iweala cannot try this at world bank where she works; there is no way she will not attend scheduled meetings. Imagine making verbal financial statements for a gathering of governors and legislatures.

But coming to think of it, why has Adams left it this late?

It just goes to confirm further that Nigeria was in autopilot under Jonathan.

laboguashi:


I read everything too. However, I expected this write-up to have come out before now. If all governors had demanded for a breakdown of the ECA and SWF before now with one voice, the baseline for the incoming govt may have been defined before now.

The write-up is an eye opener. I'm waiting for NOI's response and I'm gonna read every word too.
