Lol. Oga mi. Thanks for the compliments. Abeg leave tribalism out. Thanks one again.

No real comparison, Kemi is a poor man's okonjo Iweala.
If I had billions to invest, I know which one I'd visit for advice, it won't be kemi.

madridsta007:


I am not partisan, my friend. I find these comparisons quite inane and unnecessary. The ECA was funds put aside for 'rainy days'. You see it is all about wisdom. Are you a Christian? Do you know that putting away excess savings for later days, was the concept Joseph used in saving Egypt from famine? Norway has about $700bn in a sovereign fund. They had started saving decades ago, hence theirs is that much. Most oil producing countries have such funds; hence, out of 40 oil producing countries or so, you find Nigeria only wailing about the drop in oil prices. The ECA might have been unconstitutional, but it was common-sense. Your governors messed that common sense reasoning up, and to hang their mess on NOI is simply ridiculous.

Sorry.Just wanted to capture ur monica.

BTW
That was insightful analysis.

LRNZH:


This your statement is a problem for me on many levels.

Look at the history of people OBJ has imposed on Nigerians when he is not in power.

Shagari, Yar'adua, GEJ.... And you want to bring up Ngozi.

They usually have one K-leg or the other from incompetence, illness or lack of integrity. OBJ looks for those he feels he can control because he identifies their weaknesses.

If you read OBJ's statement in his book where he brought up Ngozi as VP, he made a comment about her weaknesses that needed a firm leader to manage.

VPs are supposed to be leaders that can lead on their own without any management from a firm leader if the need arises. OBJ disqualified Ngozi with that statement.

Finally, the same OBJ sacked her as his Finance Minister.

PassingShot:

And what did Ngozi achieve for our economy despite unprecedented earnings during her time apart from "rebasing" that resulted in us becoming largest African economy ON PAPER?

Under her and GEJ, Nigeria had to borrow to pay salaries in March and April of 2015.

modath:


I will never claim to be non partisan but i have the sense not to ever defend the indefensible..

I also gracefully keep mute when I know the discuss won't serve the country well but some of here have decided to toe a path that they won't even glance sideways from to check what else is out there!!

kayfra:
Comparing someone defending the national budget for the first time versus someone that has done it several times since OBJ days is asinine.

The OP has some loose screws.

LRNZH:


Those were the days of copy and paste budget. Kemi is working with zero based budgeting.

eLcastro:
workin on a zero based budgeting..op u dey china.? Cuz here 4 9ja we neva evn get budget

agabaI23:
What are we supposed to compare?

LRNZH:


But think about it. This is how we have been passing budget in previous years without scrutiny. What they do is submit copied, pasted and padded budget to NASS. Then bribe NASS members with either more padding or payments tonpass the budget as is.

What happened this time is good for Nigeria. The budget was padded by the Director and Perm Secs of the various MDAs. So when NASS dis not get their share, they started scrutinising the budget bit by bit. It is a wake up call for Buhari. Nobody in Nigeria's civil service can be trusted.

So it is good that we have no budget now. They're fixing it and that's what we need.

LRNZH:


Someone help me please. How can I post a thread in Braille on Nairaland?

tiger28:
People still don't realize that we were scammed by Ngozi's overhype. Just like CHUKWUMA SOLUDO said ,"She was a secretary for the world Bank and not an economist ". There is a clear difference. Just because you are the head of customer service of a bank doesn't make you a banker.

agabaI23:
lol let me rephrase my question.

What indicators of performance do you want us to compare...

LRNZH:


Again my Braille question stands.

The video is a simple comparison on how they performed while facing NASS finance committees. It was meant to be a relaxing and comedic post.

It had nothing to do with the economy until one NOI supporter brought up the economy in her support.

The rest, they say, is history

eLcastro:
lol....badh guy.,juz so i displease u...we was a sick NOI doin wel dan a health Kemi...one start wonderin if she was well.,she 4 fyt dat committee chairman

papparatzzi2013:


How shallow can you be?

The president just commissioned 40 projects financed by that debt. Those projects will keep making Ogun State the number 1 investment destination and most industrialized state in Nigeria.

Having debt is not a sin. Show me any developed country without sovereign debt. Just 1.
