The true mark of cluelessness is blaming Kemi Adeosun for two areas of policy over which she has no control. It takes real ignorance to blame the finance minister for an FX policy which is actually set by Godwin Emefiele, the head of the CBN; she also had no hand in the NSE's difficulties, as the CEO of the Nigerian Stock Exchange is a man named Oscar N. Onyema.

chukwudi44:


Kemi Adeseoun is the leader of the Buhari's economic team

Chubhie:

We all have friends,colleagues,families who for some reasons beyond logic gets enchanted once sai baba is echoed yet face same harsh economic realities with us. maybe a sexy thunder can do the trick?

I know demdem is already getting excited with having a thunder romp.

doctokwus:

Central bank is an independent institution in nigeria ,the reason why Emefiele can wake up one day and announce absurd policy measures.
Be that as it may,i am not saying adeosun is showing any sign of competence herself.Till proven otherwise,i still think she is not suited for the post of the finance minister.

doctokwus:

He has a tenured post and there is sth like the senate having to approve his sack,if i am not mistaken.Besides,his ethnic group presents another challenge.
But,pmb is just unnecessarily postponing the inevitable.
Just like the govt seems to be dillydallying with GEJ's arrest,emefiele has several reasons to have been sacked since yesterday:gross incompetence and his involvement in the sleazes under the GEJ govt. If there is one cbn gov that has failed in all aspects of central banking,its Emefiele.Why he remains there is known only to the govt.
To avoid cries of victmization,another Igbo can be appointed and there are countless more competent ones than Emefiele.

InyinyaAgbaOku:

She is not an economist, she studied accounting

InyinyaAgbaOku:

But you guys were shouting NOI up and down during her time.

omohayek:


"You guys"? If you bothered to check my profile, you'd see that I've actually defended Okonjo-Iweala against ignorant attacks in the past. Then again, unlike some people, I'm willing to recognize people for their individual merits, rather than turning every discussion into an opportunity for tribal point-scoring.

NavierStokes:


1.Making a reference to him as "my brother" has got nothing to do with ethnic affiliations but rather as one human to another.
2. The economic policies being brandished by this administration has all been synonymous with cluelessness.
3. I am afraid your responses are coming across as bigoted from the way youtried to shift blames to emefiele and onyema and attempting to shield the finance minister from attacks.
4. My brother do not be intransigent and assert that I am incredible because of differing opinions. The message was delivered exactly "as is" from the source.

doctokwus:

Makes no difference.
The most recent secretaries of treasury of the U.S. have been attorneys,so her field of study has no relationship with her being competent or not for the office.

The last government was an economic disaster despite enjoying the HIGHEST OIL REVENUE IN NIGERIAN HISTORY we have nothing to show for it. We had elections and they were BOOTED out. We have a new government. Ideally I would prefer not to have Buhari but he won and has 4 years to work. His Ministers have been in office 3 months and he has not even passed his first budget. To judge him we must be fair and patient.What I see is unbridled hatred of those who fail to accept that the elections are over and seem to be praying for him to fail. This is shameful and irresponsible. In order to judge him fairly we must allow one full budget cycle to run
The issue of Finance Minister is the height of pettiness. Since when did Finance Ministers become so important in Nigeria?? That only happens when a president is clueless and abdicates his responsibility. I thin Obasanjo said it all when he said the last person needed supervision which Jonathan failed to do and created this irresponsible role of coordinating Minister.
In a presidential system. Ministers serve at the pleasure of the President unlike in a parliamentary system. There are more important and impact-ful ministries in this system of government.
The Finance Minister is NOT meant to be that powerful and I think we are now returning to normalcy

OfoIgbo:


You sound daft.

Kemi Adeosun the clueless, is in charge of Nigeria's fiscal policy. The failure of Kemi in strengthening the fiscals of Nigeria has limited the bullish scope our financial directors can operate under.

Another case in point is the preparation of the budget which she has bungled, stolen, replaced. She is a stark illiterate

NavierStokes:


My brother, i have been very vocal about these "venezuela styled" policies on here, i have seen first hand its effect on her people.
It baffles me how someone can see a failed policy and still go ahead to implememt same expecting a different result.

In all the party has been clueless on the economy as stated by their chairman, where he says they will convey a meeting of policy makers and stakeholders so as to be able to have a clear direction on the way forward, which in other words means they are yet to have a clue on the way forward these past months.

Tochaigh:
If emifiele was standing right in front of me, with a loaded beratta in my hand. I will send that motherfucker straight to hell.

AhhAhh! Must buhari be so effing slow. Emifiele should have been sacked like yesterday!!!

omonnakoda:
Any person is more suited than the last one. Any person is an improvement on the last one who received MORE OIL REVENUE THAN ANY FINANCE MINISTER IN AFRICAN HISTORY and failed to save for the rainy day. She ran on the Federal side budget deficit after deficit borrowing for unproductive schemes like Abuja light rail and so on. A complete disaster

Instead of facing her failings she blames state governors for her failure to save THE FEDERAL GOVT SHARE OF EXCESS CRUDE ACCOUNT which she spent without appropriation

grandstar:
Emefiele was okay until Buhari showed up! It os Buharis statist leanings that are probl

omonnakoda:

Your mother will die mad. Her madness will never be cured

seunmsg:


You Igbos really need to stop this nonsense. Dollar was already exchanging for N220 at the parallel market before PMB was sworn in. So, how was Emefiele okay before Buhari showed up?

See, the CBN governor is in charge of monetary and forex policy. If he can't fix the problem, let him resign and allow a more competent person to take up the position. This silly idea of blaming the finance minister who only assumed office less than 3 months ago is just crazy. You bigots should blame your clueless Emefiele who has been in office since 2014.
