Brilliance9000: Ngozi knew, that unlike Goodluck Jonathan, her "identified weakness" would not be tolerated and used to allow "people" to loot and embezzle, as they were doing under Jonathan. I also suspect that Ngozi may feel intimidated by the personality of Buhari. We all know Buhari is staunchly "Pro-Nigeria" while NOI is strongly "Pro-Bretton-Woods establishments" (like the IMF, World Bank, e.t.c). Thus, when "push comes to shove" and the Brenton-Woods establishments want to cripple Nigeria, based on their usual, faulty economic formula (like the Structural Adjustment programme SAP or devaluation of the National currency, to the benefit of the Western World while Nigerians groan in pain), There is certainly bound to be a "clash of ideas and personality" and trust me, Buhari will not think twice before putting her in her place moreover, the position of Vice President is "advisory", compared to the executive powers of a President. Its good to have insights on how the "king makers" think, at times. This OBJ is everywhere! Lastpage! 4 Likes |

obailala:Maybe you are right. The NOI of Obasanjo is completely different from that of GEJ. The former was amiable while the latter was a flop! With due respect to Mrs Kemi I think she isn't a smart choice. Wale Edun would have made a huge mark. I still don't know why he wasn't given the job. |

The Woman called Adeosun or what is her name,is just seating and moping like Daura dullar..d,infact two of them are from the same stock,incompetent pips,that won't agree that they are incompetent. When NIO was there she supervised the budget anchored all the processes before it's implementation,and Sanusi as CBN governor didn't whisper one sound.But look at our incompetent Finance Minister just moping like bubu. 3 Likes |

TonyeBarcanista: Oga, seunmsg has asked you several times How has she failed in her duty as Minister of Finance? Her job is to implement the government budget. As of yet, there is no budget to implement. Is that her fault? Secondly, what exact fiscal policies do you recommend in light of the current economic conditions? Or are you just saying it for the fun of it? Are you recommending a tax rise or should they be lowered? Are you referring to a more efficient tax collection system? 6 Likes |

I do agree with you.but its difficult to succeed in a monoeconomy, let alone a mixed economy with so many social policies.government spend the larger part of our income on recurrent expenditure.apart from the extralegal economy we operate, how many people even pay tax to the government? Its not adeosuns fault.if everyone is blaming her it does not mean she is the cause.tell me from an economic point of view what she could have done to save the country.conventional wisdom is not always correct TonyeBarcanista: |

[b]Obasanjo takes pride in fixing who rules Nigeria. Kitikpa.. Amadioha.... gbosa for una front Thank Goodness Ngozi Okonjo Iwealla refused your Obasanjo's ways of fixing leaders - she refusedd to pair with Buhari. Whatever you do, the buck stops on the table of the president. Those with Buhari now are not all eediots, but final decision on the conomy must be taken by President Bubu who hardly knows what economics of today is all about . This is not the years of western Germany as President Bubu believed. For Nigerians who believe in Nigeria, see how hour leaders are hand-picked at every turn by one or few persons - beginning from Obasanjo in 1998 to late Yar'Adua, to Jonathan and to Buhari who before 2014 had openly declared that he had gone to retirement from politics, but was hand-picked to come back and beat all the young, better-educated and richer men during the APC primaries. Next, another hand-picked leader - so long as the present rigged political structure and bad governance system remain.[/b] |

stonemasonn: GEJ is the least corrupt president Nigeria ever had - he was too weak a president, ever fearful of Arewa and Yaraiba. He said 16 years in govt was like in a cage. Methinks, that's why he barely campaigned for re-election, and before the last presidential results were announced, GEJ had already conceded to Buhari. Now if Buhari goes after GEJ, Jonathan shall know what a real cage is like. You don't tell the deaf that there is pandemonium in the market place. 1 Like |

PoliticalThuG:it would have happened irrespective of who is finance minister: @ $30 a barrel it doesn't matter who is finance minister, Naira will fall, except you think it is because of Adeosun that Oil prices are falling. It was already falling under NOI before she left office as Oil prices started to fall. Furthermore (not that I disgree with his policies) but the other major reason for the fall in Naira are CBN policies. Firstly towards foreign portfolio holders which caused them to pull out of our financial markets and the restriction of forex for certain non-esssential items. Again I stress just as I don't disagree with the CBN policies, what exactly do you expect Adeosun to do to strengthen the Naira in the time she's been in office? Oil our main source of forex is down, and we import everything. Where is she supposed to get the forex from? 3 Likes |
