Ngozi is no fool...she knows whom to serve with. Obasanjo, Jonathan...yes. Buhari...No...he still a dictator, won't listen to advice!

Why did you think Adeosun is not fit to be the finance minister? Did you come to this conclusion as a result of her performance so far in the last three months or you are going with the skewed and bigoted narratives of the wailers from south east who are desperately trying to bring her down due to the failures of NOI?



In terms of the core duties of a finance minister, can you mention one area where she has failed so far since her appointment?

Of all the ministers in the current cabinet, can you mention just one who has so far performed excellently well?

Seriously, I don't understand why some people have continued to repeat this narrative that Kemi is not doing well, she only came on board three months ago and the first budget that she will implement is still before the National assembly for consideration. Why all these unnecessary criticism?

obailala:
OBJ made a very good point, NOI has her weaknesses and she needs a very focused and discipline boss to cover up those flaws. Are you aware that in every area where NOI failed under GEJ, it was the exact opposite when she worked under OBJ?

All the achievements which gave NOI her fame was achieved when she worked under OBJ, from digging Nigeria out of the mud and placing her on the world economic map, clearing off debts in billions of dollars, increasing the nation's savings/reserves by over 1000% at a time when oil prices were lower, pushing Nigeria's GDP growth rate from 2% to a record 6-7%, creating a robust middle class etc. It's obvious she's good at what she does but she needs to be managed by someone strong, obviously not a GEJ, cos she apparently reversed all her achievements when she worked with GEJ.

TonyeBarcanista:

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.

Bede2u:

If you don't thhink this budget issue is a big dent on her reign then I don't know what to tell you. For your info, the ministries of Finance and planning are the two most important in budget formulation and by extention, policy making. So yes she has not performed well and we can say that even after "three months"

As Coordinating minister of the Economy under Jonathan, Iwaela was mthe defacto prime minister. Under her watch, the oil price was at all time high but nothin came out. Reserve was depleted, ECA was depleted(thanks to Govs), yet we had no infrastructure on ground to boost our economy. NOI kept rollin out figures and statistics that had no reflection in reality. I think she should be allowed to rest.

As for Adeosun, I think she isn't fit enough for the job of finance minister. Maybe she assume that her british tongue is enough to handle Nigeria economy.


I'll sugest that Buhari hire the former commissioner of finance that served under Tinubu or any home-grown professional.

How many times will they tell illiterate Igbos that the Ministry of Finance is not responsible for formulating the budget?

Naughtysite:


Everyone know say Nah Igbo man go save this country..

Soludo, Buhari no gree give am Minister of Finance.

ChappyChase:

Would she have performed credibly well, if given the chance? To me, I doubt that!

ozoneboy:
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.

nwaanambra1:
av once thought about that and i concluded in all honesty that they would av made a perfect combo.

ngozi is brilliant but she needs a strong hand with an iron brush to make her brilliance shine. GEJ doesn't have it. he is too corrupt and he ended up bringing out the worst of her.

See the way Yorubas are running ammock on this thread

Have you guys observed that whenever the useless ethno religious bigots are in a financial mess, they turn to the most hated tribe( Igbo) for a solution out of the mess they created.

All these achievements you quoted require political clout or cover to achieve. Her brief is to present these ideas to the president and it is for the president to expend political capital to see the ideas to fruition. That jona no do am doesnt in anyway reflect badly on ngozi.
