Yes, it was free sef, absolutely free, there was no lack of food at all if you can vividly remember. Things weren't bad at all, everything was great my bro, Nigeria wasn't even a 3rd world country no more. How did we get here all of a sudden?

Nobody was saying things were 100%, but in all honesty can you compare things now and then?

Kiss the truth!
Yeah right.
It was a Yoruba man that sent her to MIT as a student or made her the world bank MD before coming to serve Nigeria as a shining star.

Nobody wished her ill. [b]Obasanjo, Bakare and other Yoruba's lobbied behind the scene to make her Buhari's running mate in 2011 [/b]but it did not work out. She presided over the massive looting of our resources between 2011 and 2015 and on that basis, she deserved all the criticism that was thrown her way. Again, a certain Charles Soludo led the "sadists" that criticised her performance. Criticising a political office holder doesn't amount to wishing them ill.
And where are you getting your bullshit from? Did OBJ or bakare that was trying to run himself tell you that?
The way you people justify or overlook your own tribalism is just funny.
You are a bigoted people. Wear it with pride.

A puppet that OBJ used to legitimize his own government. What is more ingenious than an Ex-military general and dictator now civilian president picking up a symbol of westernism from her ivory tower and attaching her to his government. That is more or less to legitimize his own government in the eyes of the west.

Buhari congratulates ex-Agric minister, Adesina, on world food prize .

President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday said Nigeria remains proud of its former Minister of Agriculture, Dr. Akinwumi Adesina, for winning the 2017 World Food Prize Laureate.

Adesina, who is the President of the African Development Bank, is being presented the $250,000 prize and Laureate sculpture at a ceremony at the Iowa State Capitol, United States.

According to a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, the President’s congratulatory message was contained in a video message to the former minister.

The statement quoted Buhari as saying, “I received with delight the cheery news of your award as 2017 World Food Prize Laureate. Certainly, this did not come to me and many Nigerians as a surprise, given your antecedents and contributions to the development of agriculture across the African continent.

“We are very proud of you.

“According to the World Food Prize Foundation, you won the prize for driving change in African agriculture for over 25 years and improving food security for millions across the continent. Your choice as the winner of the World Food Prize is a clear recognition and appreciation of your long-standing contributions, reflected in your several roles and activities which promote social economic development.

“By dint of hard work, persistence, diligent efforts and God’s sufficient grace, you have risen above many limitations to emerge as a notable figure and a true champion. Your life story mirrors the resilience of the African spirit and doggedness for which Nigerians are well known.

“On behalf of the government and people of Nigeria, I congratulate you and rejoice with you, your family and the AfDB family on this well-deserved honour.

“Congratulations!’’

You're yet another bandwagoner who lacks knowledge of her educational background. I put that to you as an academic assignment.
Your notion of legitimacy was a fallacy on the person of Obj. Okonjo was expendable so much so she was dumped as a minister for finance and reassigned a lesser portfolio. Lol

Shut the fucck up, and shove your afonja ignorance up your as$. I am only giving you my time because I have nothing doing currently.
What legitimacy does a crooked african Ex-military dictator posing as a civilian president have to even confer on anybody?
His legitimacy is the same with other third world leaders in Africa- zilch, zero, nada. Not to mention that the country was neck-deep in corruption-induced debt until Okonjo had to meander her way through it.

You think relegating her to a lesser portfolio is a stain on her relevance? This is the same OBJ that relegated the effective Dora Akunyili to a common Propaganda minister. It does not diminish their relevance. It only highlights the uselessness of OBJ.

Oga go and sleep. Your OBJ was a common leach .

Now, one can safely conclude dat u guys forget too quickly.

Many farmers boldly stated that they didn't need fon as dey cldnt operate dem. Most Nigerians called it a misplaced priority. It cost d FG over 20bn. Nigerians sef
If i got your message clearly, your point is that Adeshina deserves no praise for his performance during jonathan's regime?
Have you forgotten or simply unaware that his outstanding performance as Agric minister during Gej's tenure fetched him the current post he's holding?
Guy no man without flaws but nobody should even make attempt to discredit Adeshina,
He performed better than other ministers that worked with GEJ.

You can see how apt you fit in as a pseudo-intellectual that I have always known you to be.
Whatever sentiments you may have had with Obj, it takes absolutely nothing away from the fact that he brought okonjo into politcal relevance, the same way he dealt with her when she was found to have put the interest of her western puppeteers over that of her nation.

In whatever manner of ignominy you might display, I will never have you muddle the lasting reputation of Dora Akunyili in your barbarism. She was also one of the loyal political daughters of Obj whom he brought into the limelight.
Under the leadership &tutorship of Obj, she attained a political height of enigmatic status.
At no point was she relegated, rather she proved her worth & fought her brothers in druggies who despised her and loved to see her dead.

You are a clown. Dora akunyili that already had relevance right from the buhari days as military dictator. grin
OBJ valued her so much that he demoted her from her area of core competence and made her a propaganda minister, like the utter buffoon he is.
And shame on you for insulting the Igbo people, who stood as her rock and defence and even sent her to the national assembly under yar'adua.
And no, OBJ has nothing to do with NOI and her relevance either. I can't see how a world bank MD would be coming to lime-light by becoming a mere finance minister of a third world hell-hole. The pay may be better, but the Job quality is a downgrade. From that vantage point it is just a patriotic service, nothing more
The crack you are on is dope, though.

I know the enduring quality of the average Yoruba male is his loquaciousness and his un-natural desire to always want to win endless arguments by sheer verbal brute force even if it means arguing like a stark moronn.
I am done, nigga. You can shove your mis-truths up your bum.

When you think some peoples would be average at best but they come off being below average. Your knowledge of history is rather low and twisted.

First off, Obj had a clear idea of the kind of charismatic handler he needed at the top shot in NAFDAC which he found in Dora by way of interview he had with her. He knew all she needed was executive backings coupled with some tougher legislations to help her fight drug dealings & counterfeiting.

Okonjo on the other hand would rather jump at an offer to redefine her career than being an errand girl who runs around with files and papers to raise loans for the poorest African countries, Lol.

I was actually done before you..get your facts rights & quit revisionism.

Thank God it was too late for Buhari to affect the appointment and right-minded Nigerians near Buhari at the time talked him down from such a foolish stance.

I agree with you but you see, there is a saying in Yoruba that says if a spring should leave and forget it source, it will dry up eventually. We must acknowledge where we coming to better appreciate where we going.
