Poorly articulated and written. Pat Utomi got his Ph.D in Economics. Soludo is a visiting professor at Cambridge and Oxford. This is like comparing Beetle and Ferrari. Kemi's biggest job was at PWC and handled less than $100m in her portfolio.. Also she ran Ogun state aground by leaving behind a heavily indebted state. For every N100 Ogun state gets every month, it spends about N150.. She's not qualified for the job! |

seunaj:My apologies but the bolded is a very misinformed argument built on pure conjectures and not fact. When oil prices started crashing, the naira fell from around 160 to 220 between october 2014 and May 2015 even though oil still sold above $60. Nigeria's GDP growth rate also fell from around 6% to 2.3% as at May 2015, that's its lowest ever (since 1999); it has since risen a bit to stabilise a little above 3%. Nigeria's foreign exchange reserves also dropped between october 2014 to May 2015 from about $38.5bn to $28.5bn, that's a catastrophic drop of about $10bn in 7 months; I don't need to remind you that the new economic team has maintained virtually what they inherited till date. Furthermore, in early 2015, the FG/NOI had to borrow over $2bn to pay simple workers' salaries because the govt was cash trapped; they also owed oil marketers their subsidies since Aug 2014. Now all of the above I just mentioned happened when oil still sold above $60 and it all happened under the watch of the much celebrated world economist. I can supply you weblinks to confirm every single thing I just said above. Now with oil selling at $31, half of what it was when NOI handed over, do I need to remind you that every negative thing I pointed out above have been reversed under the neophyte finance minister and the 'inexperienced' economic team (except for the sliding exchange rate which by God's grace would also be checkmated soon)? Enough of all these needless and uninformed hype of NOI, she may be a good economist, but she is not a god. And she obviously did very poorly (worse than the present minister) when the oil crash begun. The only reason you and I didnt notice these failures on time is because at the time, we were all fixated on the 2015 elections, it's not because the failures didnt happen. 2 Likes 1 Share |

It is more difficult to get admission to UNILAG or OAU departments of economics than University of East London or South London. Those backyard schools that elites in Nigeria send their children and the come to NL to show pictures of them graduating easily with first class. |

themilanway:for your information Okonjo-Iweala is a world class economist so the likes of Adeosun and co will be looking up to her as their role model Okonjo-Iweala is being acclaimed world all over |

osita76:But are you aware NOI got her 'world acclaim' after she was given the chance to serve?... If some folks bulldozed her within 4 months of her assuming office like the way you are currently bulldozing madam Kemi, I'm sure you know she wouldn't be recognised anywhere. Enough of these unnecessary bullying, even the world class economist performed very poorly at managing the economy when the oil price crash began. The oil crash is even far worse now but madam Kemi has obviously handled it better than NOI did between Oct 2014 and May 2015. 1 Like |

I didn't even bother to finish the trash. Well, its not a bad thing to be tribal and want to side your ethnic group. But where you would mess up is when you start comparing a school from south london to Harvard. I don't think I have ever heard the name of her school before!! Tribalism is when you compare apples and oranges. NOI is a million times better. I am not surprised. Because even the president appointed a Northerner, a school teacher to head a department with a former VC of UNN. So if comparing a local economist to world renowned Harvard graduate who is still receiving awards till now is done in Nigeria, expect some bias. Facts are there. |

@ Op that Kemi of a woman lacks the capacity of a minister of finance. She might have worked in Several organizations but is incompetent. see her dispositions; can be easily be intimidated,. Comparing her with NOI is just like two graduates that came out with 2.1 from University, one studied hard and during her studies, studies to know the reasons for every action, while the other studies to pass or even sorted to pass. I gave up on PMB's govt immediately he named his cabinet of incompetent persons. i would have wanted him to make one Idika Kalu or Soludo his minister of Finance. |

SANCTO: NOI was a disastrous failure and it shows that Ivy League degrees is not a guarantee for good performance. Judge Kemi after her tenure but let us not use NOI as a criteria because NOI failed as a Finance Minister. |

mascot87: Don't mind them, na their own dey always better pass no matter how worthless it is. If Kemi was an Hausa Fulani woman, their slogan would have been " almajiri economist." If she was a middle beltan " they will say burukutu economist " If she was an Efik they will remember that Calabar na mumu. It took me a while to realize that they see NO GOOD in others so i have also drawn my own line too, THEIR OPINION IS DEAD ON ARRIVAL. 2 Likes |

Ghost01: Serving as an MD of an investment bank does not count as much. Its like saying a dentist can do the work of a heart surgeon. Serving in a state as a commissioner for finance does not also count as much. As finance minister, she can influence, the level of import duties paid, whether corporate or personal taxes go up or down, whether fuel subsidies are removed or not and so forth. Her policies affect the entire country and can greatly dictate the growth rate. A finance commissioner's role is quite limited to managing well whatever policy or monies is received or dictated by the centre. If GEJ had hired her, I am sure your position would have been more strident. I am apolitical. No matter how good she is (I am sure is not) she will always be hampered by Buhari whose understanding of economics is lamentable. His foreign exchange restrictions will ruin any good policies she has. And by the way, a good finance minister at the crucial juncture the country is, would have brought out a series of pronouncements to lift up the economic spirits of the country to boost the economy. She has not. When the naira went into a free fall, she was dreadfully silent. A finance minister worth his salt would have reassured the the country |

prince3009: my dear how many months has Kemi been in office? how many years did NOI spend there? how can you be comparing oranges and apples and claiming fairness? my bro, you need to check yourself. when NOI was leaving office, the FG of Nigeria had to borrow money to pay SALARIES, something never done before in the history of this country, yet for years during that same tenure crude sold for $120/barrel, the highest ever in the history of this country. the National till was looted under NOI's watch yet she claimed she wasn't aware. madam Kemi is trying to clean up their mess yet you keep blaming her. and she hasn't event spent one year there. smh seriously. 1 Like |

derecho: unless you are not in Nigeria or a Nigerian, the issue IS always about tribe. stop lying to yourself. Abba Moro the employment scam guy has been hurled to Kuje prison, how many of his clansmen have you seen chanting "witch-hunting"? how many have carried placards? if he was from the SE, what do you think would have happened? be sincere. that's why I said all issues in Nigeria boil down to TRIBE or RELIGION. So stop living in cuckoo land. if the issue was competence then why isn't a particular section of the country condemning the less than average performance of Okonjo Iweala but are ready to crucify a finance minister who just got there some six months ago? 1 Like |
