The report never mentioned NOI why are you Yoruba folk mastubating on her issue. So much for we are one Yoruba are always envious of igbos. Let me tell you it takes an NOI to clear your debt from the Paris club not some local champion like Kemi that only managed to run down her state finances she managed.

all I see is a little kid bluffing and Until you stop allowing tribalism to ride your common sense of reasoning, you will never understand my point. Until you remove the spectacle of ethnicity, you will always showcase your sense of insecurity. So anybody that speaks against NOI is an enemy of igbos. Come how old are you? Mtchew

'Qualified but poorly' , abi no be how dem wan talk am be dat?

Where were those economist wen NGO derailed our economy mercilessly?

mbok guys let's not waste our mb on this jack ass magazine they have the liberty to report whatever they want Mr President has done what he thinks is right for the country until we can prove otherwise we should trust his judgment

seunmsg:
Economist of London will not dictate PMB's choice of Finance minister. The last time the job was given to a world bank economist, she did a very bad job on the economy. We are satisfied with Kemi Adeosun, we don't want another IMF/World Bank puppet.

Shut that gutter you call mouth, London own your slave master up north, and therefore owns you as well. The economist of London can dictate to PMB's choice of finance minister, with penalty for disobedience, as already happened. Your gdp continues to sag and you've lost control of your currency exchange rate and the price of your crude oil, so what else?. Foreign investors don't have time for yoruba wuruwuru, and they have voted with their feet. You people think you can replicate another Ngozi Iwuala or Aluma ete or flashy mrs Madueka, your yoruba control media out of jealousy almost pusured to death. In short, your Kemi is ugly, unqualified, with a body language that doesn't resonates with investors. ...so deal with it.

those are the people he use six month to nominate

Wat appened to our economy wen d likes of Aunty Ngozi nd Uncle Aganga were dere? All we heard ws Nigeria ws doin gud (ofcourse on paper nd %). Abeggi! make we try local champs jare... after all our probs do nt affect d English folks

Bad belly world power nation's, once their egotism hits rock they quickly spree shit! Madam Ngozi floors our nairas in favour of their currency. I have been leaving in England for years I have not set my eyes on pounds denominations that is more than 50 pounds, but most of my travel to Nigeria the bureau the change will exchange pounds in even 500 pounds notes. Once I came in with these notes few days that will recollect it and redistribute 10pounds in their cash machines. Even I have a separate bag for coins. Above all, we will hardly go far as a country if we fail to disappoint this colonialism.

lolaxavier:

Yes o...the economist can go and die...

In osho baba's voice..... Lol

Greece won the European cup in 04 with a bunch of local unknown champions, a feat the likes of Portugal and france have been unable to replicate in more recent times depsite their array of super mega starts. My point?, we don't need big names to get us out of teh shit hole that big names got us into, we need people you are ready to make a point and that the odds are already against them. Kemi has all the opportunity to make a name for herself as this shit hole economy is an opportunity to show case what she has got. See even a dog or goat would shine in most Federal positions they find themselves in Nigeria at the moment, cause the last administration took us rock bottom. The bar has been raised so low for Buhari that all he has to do really is come give us power 4 days a week, make sure no media house give BH attention and stop our politicians from stealing with inpunity - thats all, and we would be hailing him for the next 8 years, why because they last administration took us rock bottom. Take Lagos for example, Fashola raised the bar so high, that this man Ambode might never score well in the entirety of his tenure - that's what happens when the most brilliant student comes out first to give his presentation, every other person don fail be that. However when the dullest person gives his presentation first, ahh the pass mark comes down, that's what GEJ did to Nigeria.

Okonjo iwella got all the qualifications. Where did she leave our economy? DiD she diversify it? Did naira has edge our dollar.?. What was her major achievement?

SHE BROUGHT INFLATION RATE FROM 21% DOWN TO 7%. MADE THE ECONOMY THE 24 LARGEST IN THE WORLD AND LARGEST IN AFRICA WITH THE FASTEST GROWING RATE OF ABOUT 7%. many other things my bro. this was my assignment last week @ sch.

Senator Shehu Sani, as describing the cabinet as “a government with local professionals and without superstars.”


Government of local professionals and for local professionals

This reasoning is so absurd. You seem to operate from the premise that Iwealla messed up the economy, therefore we should try less qualified people. But if the economy is in dire straits, why entrust it to the unqualified? If you take your reasoning to its logical qualification, we might as well appoint a secondary school leaver because the university educated have not performed to expectation.

What makes me laugh about this is that Kemi Adeosun was finance commissioner for Ogun state and at the end of her tenure, Ogun state required a bailout with the assistance of the Federal Government as it was effectively insolvent. So these people have faith in her ability to do at the Federal level what she could not do at the state level. It's a classic case of the triumph of hope over experience.

I'm really worried about the crass ignorance of an average Nigerian. The Economist said that Kemi Adeosun is less qualified for the post of Finance Minister and you people are running diarrhoea with your mouth. The Chancellor of the exchequer (the finance minister in the U.K) is George Osborne. He's a graduate of history and he's 44 years old. I cannot remember 'The Economist' extolling his qualifications or otherwise for the post of Chancellor of the exchequer when he was appointed by the Prime Minister. Why do you ignorant lots in Nigeria have the gut feelings that Kemi Adeosun is not qualified simply because the Economist said so. In the U.K. ministers are appointed to any ministry the Prime Minister deems fit. The way things work is that the civil servants are charged with the responsibility of carrying out the policies of the ruling party as set out to the letter. The health secretary (Jeremy Hunt) is not a doctor by profession ditto the others in charge of various ministries. The only minister whose qualification is relevant to his portfolio is the attorney general because he's the legal adviser to the government. Kemi Adeosun is more than qualified to be the finance minister.

Nigeria is where u will see inflation rate go down in media but no employment or reduction in market product to nail the claim.

So what's the use.

Okongo served under obj, she did under Gej. Nigeria is the most populous black nation on earth. No drastic change in our economy. Lets just see what the new Minster can offer before criticising

I mean whose side did you think i was?

And what good did Mrs Eweala O., the past finance minister did us with all her over qualifications? PMB isn't a graduate of any University nor a first class student of any institution, yet his personality earns him respect home and abroad. We don't need the qualifications, but want the job done. My opinion. Thanks.

The economist is trying to say that without ngozi's imput, you will have data to be typing this trash against the great woman. Serious.

.....you must have failed your assignment.......poor you.... .....fastest growth rate?.......made economy 24th largest......Nigerian education has surely gone to the dogs...... .......I pity you and your deceitful lecturers....

All Western entities praise based on their interest. If an appointment in Africa is going to increase their grip on Africa, they would praise it to high heaven, if not is always going to be the wrong appointment. Until Africans understand that most of the appointments and policies that would lead to development in Africa would never be good for the West or vice versa we would continue to attach unnecessary importance to their opinions.
As far as Kemi Adeosun is concerned, is she not an investment banker? Can a casino capitalist be good for anyone in Africa. So I would not be surprised if she turns out to be another Okonjo Iwealla

Ciscogod:



Bro. My point is so clear. What I'm trying to say, Is we should not place her performance based on qualification. That was why I brought up iwella as an example.

She served under obj and Jonathan still yet the economy remains un-diversify with all her qualifications and expierence

Qualification here is not degrees they mean. A person with OND sef is qualified enough. She even has a PG qualification.

They are talking of overall pedigree, experience and track record of managing complex entities/corporations, etc. Oyinbo are not obsessed with degrees in politics. Former UK PM John Major didn't go to university at all. John Prescott (former deputy PM to Tony Blair) left school at 16 too.

I don't think Kemi has the wherewithal to stand up to GMB and tell him some of his economic ideas (trade restrictions and so on) are draconian don't fit Nigeria at this moment. That he's putting the cart before the horse.

GMB who's famously inflexible, needs to be told. Kemi cannot even if she knows. That will limit what she can achieve.

This post is beyond crass and operates on a level of ignorance that borders on the gratuitous. The UK's position is a matter of constitutional necessity, i.e., ministers are drawn from members of parliament who of course have a restricted range of professional backgrounds. To illustrate how crass your argument is, imagine a couple of hypothetical scenarios:

(1) Buhari appoints a cabinet exclusively made up of politicians and his supporters respond to criticisms of this from a UK magazine by noting that UK ministers are also politicians.

(2) A poor country that traditionally appoints few ministers, say 15 for instance, decides to appoint 36 ministers and justifies it by comparing itself to Nigeria where the constitution requires at least 36 ministers.

We do not have a parliamentary system of government, not since 1966, so appointing the underqualified cannot be justified by glibly noting that countries under the parliamentary system appoint from the political class. Your argument is desperate and utterly bone-headed.

As for the lady herself, my view that she's not qualified has been expressed on this site prior to the Economist's article. It is not just about academic credentials, though comparions between an MIT economics PhD and a University of East London degree is akin to comparing a Rolls Royce Phantom to a Fiat Punto. It is also hilarious seeing the desparate mitigatory arguments cited in her defence over her record as the finance commisioner of Ogun state, a stint which was crowned with a bailout as the state's finances she managed crumbled. In her defence it is claimed that it was a national economic crisis forgetting that many states in Nigeria have not required a bailout. What then are the substantive credentials that would confer such faith in her anticipated success?

Abeg nor crack my ribs jor @ bolded.

Buhahahaha. Nissan Micra sef would be better.

In 9ja area anything goes.
Well, rookie political parties in govt use rookie ministers.

In the UK, there is a well established Whitehall tradition. Senior civil servants formulate much of the policy. Ministerial ones do come on top, but they advice ministers against certain things. He cannot just ignore them like the Demi-god mentality/system of any oga pata pata we operate in in 9ja.

Local professionals and no champions. Striking!
