Many Fulanis are wealthy and yet honest. Many of these herdsmen you see around are wealthy but are not given to flashy things.

Buhari has a herd of cattle and he is a former head of state on pension and he also earns pension from the Nigerian military. His wife owns a spa.

This is pathetic. What 5 years are you talking about? She discovered the fraud 2nd month in office. By 5 months into their tenure, reforms were implemented that blocked the loophole.

Wealthandjobs:
I agree with her that $6million is consequential(as if every kobo belonging to the government is not consequential) but why didn't she report this issue to the EFCC?
Mrs Okonjo Iweala was hands in glove with all the corrupt elements of GEJ's tenure and it's so sad that her memoir is just confirming what PMB has repeatedly told Nigerians.
The case should be revisited by the EFCC to retrieve the $6million collected for at least 5 years and all the thieves in NPA who were sharing the money be prosecuted.

Op, this headline is misleading and only shows your desperation to either be on the front page or to tarnish Goodluck's image. An earlier thread gives a more detailed information concerning NOI's book lunch and where she told how she got an approval from Goodluck to block $6m annual revenue from the ports that was not remitted to the federal government account. According to her, it is not clear if the theft started during the administration of Goodluck. Besides, she got the approval to block the loophole and had to battle with the highly placed influential aides that benifted from it. It is a pity how you guys keep looking for cheap ways to blame Goodluck even after three years into your abysmally failed admisitration. For heavens sake, the guy has moved on with his life, your Buhari and his own saints should now create the paradise they promised us.

Former Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has revealed how some powerful aides of immediate past President Goodluck Jonathan embezzle $6 million yearly from the Cargo Tracking Note (CTN) charges.

In her recently released book, “Fighting Corruption is Dangerous: The Story Behind the Headlines”, Okonjo-Iweala said she became a target of very powerful interests after she sought and got approval from Jonathan for the implementation of the ports reforms, which include the abolishing of a Cargo Tracking Note (CTN) a regime which importers argued added costs to them for duplicate services.

Excerpts: “During my second month in office in September 2011, the issue of port congestion Okonjo-Iwealawas brought to the attention of the Economic Management team by members of Nigeria’s organised private sector, especially the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN) as a serious impediment to doing business. Importers were irate about a Cargo Tracking Note (CTN) regime which they argued added costs to them for duplicate services.

“They said that their cargos were already being tracked by the Nigerian Customs Service (NCS) from origin to destination, so then; there was no reason for the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) to collect this charge. Upon enquiry, we learned that charges totalled about $6 million a year, so this was consequential. I had never seen this money remitted to the treasury and, in fact, had not known of the existence of the CTN. We recommended that the CTN be abolished immediately.

“On October 14, 2011, the Minister of Transport and I sent a memo to the President that outlined the short, medium and long term problems of Nigeria’s ports, proposed solutions and requested approval for implementation shortly thereafter. Then the problems began. I received an anonymous text telling me the port reforms were bad and harmful and I should rescind them. I learned that some agencies such as the Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) and others that had been told to develop alternative collaborative arrangements with the Customs to take care of their responsibilities while staying out of the ports were not happy and were lobbying to be let back into the ports.

“About six weeks into the implementation of the port reforms, in early December 2011, I received a message that a top-ranking presidential aide wanted me to stop by his office anytime I was in the Villa.”

The former Director of World Bank further disclosed that she was locked out of the Villa for refusing to obey the order given by the unnamed influential aide in Jonathan’s administration to restore the CTN with immediate effect.

Obasanjo aides got a piece of the pie. Jonathan aides got a piece of the pie. The same way Buhari aides are getting a piece of the pie today on a bigger level. Same way the aides of the next president will join hands with the cabal and CHOP! It's an institutional flaw that was being slowly cured until APC came.

As coordinating minister she was slowly chipping away at those interests.

Throwback:
Why is our darling Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala engaging in media trial? How dare she reveal this information to disgrace and humiliate our hero of democracy?

Ngozi will soon be termed an Afonja, Jihadist and Zombie for not seeing that Jonathan was a saint who could never steal, and who employed only the best hands into positions.

Why Jonathan's head is not hanging on a pike at the entry point into Abuja city, is one of the many reasons I consider Buhari to be a spineless failure himself.

Jonathan was a thief and an inglorious bastard and enemy of the state, who was determined that corruption is a Nigerian culture that must never die.

He went about campaigning for reelection as the candidate who will not arrest out parents for corruption.

He even had the audacity to ask in Enugu that "How much did Jim Nwobodo stole ($5m) that Buhari military regime jailed him".

Any electorate who continued to support Jonathan after that statement, deserves the rot called Nigeria, and deserved all the hardship that has been experienced since then as a consequence of that kleptomaniac regime that did not save even just 1kobo from all revenue that it earned, but rather bankrupted the economy.

You sound like a broken record already.

Who appointed NOI?
Who appointed the Transport Minister?
Who received the memo from NOI and the Transport Minister to abolish the CTN?
Who abolished the CTN?
Who refused to reintroduce the CTN?

All the threads about Christians being killed in Benue, no one will see you there. No one saw you when she also revealed other truths. Now you see one that mentioned a certain GEJ aide in bad light, you rush in like you're an heroine addict and this is your fix.

NOI a GEJ appointee discovered a loophole, she wrote to GEJ to close it, GEJ closed it. But somehow you're still mad. Did GEJ rape your girlfriend?

Read the OP again.

The loophole was brought to her attention in 2011. She and the Minister of Transport wrote to Jonathan to close the loophole. Jonathan closed the loophole within 5 months of her appointment.

GEJ was made president in 2010. Loophole was closed in 2011. So where is the 5 years coming from?

And people have kept deaf ears to understand why the country couldn't save at the time of plenty, which was why the untold hardship befell all and sundry when the present government assumed office. If the government track that enemy of the country and arrest him, the apologists of corruption will start shouting that it's because he is not in Apc and all manner of nonsense.

Everybody just wants to paint Jonathan black. He approved the implementation of the proposal by NOI, if his aide acted otherwise, then it would have been needful to call him out. Using Jonathan as a shield for every corrupt act is crazy and mediocre. Yet no indictment against him. PMB has surrounded himself with a lot of corrupt officials, yet when we accuse him of being corrupt, a lot run to shield him and say it is his aides. So what's the difference here? NOI should have simply stated out the names of this individuals who am not surprised would be big names working in this new administration as well

Now I understand what GEJ meant by taking a yam away from the goat.

He knew this persons were powerful and could cause trouble on a National Scale, hence he felt it was better to deactivate their modus operandi.

The pertinent question to ask in this circumstances is " what did GEJ do when this was brought to his attention"?

He approved the discontinuance, and same was implemented. So what's this fuss about?

A as Nigerians, we don't read. Little wonder Bubu said we are lazy. On this, I beg to agree with him.
