The Minister of Finance, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun, has declared that she does not know when the economic recession in Nigeria will end.

Her statement is coming barely one week after the Central Bank of Nigeria governor, Godwin Emefiele stated that the country would come out of recession before December (2016).

Emefiele had said, “We are already in the valley, the only direction is to go up the hill and the government is doing everything possible to ensure that we move up the hill. I am optimistic that based on the actions being taken by the monetary and fiscal authorities, the fourth quarter results will show evidence that we have started to move out of recession".

Apart from the obvious contradictions in the pronouncements of these 2 key government officials, why is that Finance Minister Kemi Adesoun is never sure of anything?

She finds it difficult to clearly articulate government economic policies apart from simply parroting whatever pronouncements Lai Mohammed makes. E.g., "we shall spend our way out of recession". This statement in itself was plagiarized from the speech made by the American President during the Great Depression in the 1930's.

She cannot add simple figures.

She cannot accurately explain how the N2.2 trillion debt incurred in just one year. She says, she "guesses it must have been spent on what government usually spends money on". What a great oxy-slowpoke answer!!!

She never looks as if she is in-charge. Always looks lost.

Always seems to expect guidance or help from someone else

But why?

Who inflicted this lady on us at the national scale? Why didn't they allow her to mature as Commissioner in Ogun State?

Just see how she put that ugly purple sweater on her head with the President looking totally embarrassed during signing of international agreement in Qatar. Is that how we tile gele in Nigeria?

Adeosun, we know you don't know chit.

I think in ranking, after Lai Muhammad, she is next in line that need to respect themselves and resign,, please she never knows anything so why is she there
