I agree but what authority does America have to call for this?

I believe this is to influence the choice of successor as he is up for renewal.

I know an IT contrac was issued to a Russian firm and also a French company ALSTOM was sanctioned.
So we must be mindful of context

It is a similar strategy to what we see with the disinformation against the Chinese with coronavirus

Just throw innuendos about.

The question is

What exactly is he alleged to have done

Just one thing exactly

cosef:


If he were Igbo would you say the same thing?

One4me:

You iGBOS and this your "Victim Mentality" sef!
No one is asking you to support Adesina if he is actually guilty, Yourba or no Yoruba or Nigerian.
ADESINA HAS CLEARED HIMSELF BEYOND DOUBT.
Yorubas rallied round Air Peace CEO, and even chided the Fulani, Nigerian Govt for not using him to repatriate Nigerians from the Middle East, USA and China.
Yorubas still remember his "good deeds" when he freely evacuated Nigerians (mostly Igbos, notwithstanding), from South Africa.
But if Onyeama or Adesina gets involved in any financial fraud, Yorubas wont stand by either of them, even if his father was Awolowo.

Yourbas are the greatest critques of themselves and they are noted for not shielding a criminal of their own, so why would you expect them to shield an Igbo criminal?
It is ony Igbos that do this CATALYTIC, ETHNIC PARAPOISM and since criminality is not always far from them, it is understandable that they would be seeking the blind support of Yorubas and wail a lot, if they dont get it.
It is also understandable that Yorubas, noted for not acquiescing to such banal and premordial sentiments, will not oblige them, NOR OBLIGE ONE OF THEIR OWN.

My advice, stay out of criminality, if you want the support of Yorubas, be you Yoruba or Igbo.

PureFace1:


Who is crying for your support?

Nobody need the support of any Nyamirin

Your support won't take him anywhere.

Subduer:

Ngozi who lobbied Adesina into that position is, not only proudly Igbo, but VERY active in the Biafran War, and can be trusted to know what she's doing.

Not all Yorubas are anti-Igbos. And must Igbos always seek concensus? Adesina should complete his 2nd term.

Obijulius:
This is going to end well.

When Trump or any of his appointees accuse you of corruption forget it, you are corrupt.

The AFDB was becoming a Chinese lackey and corruption can it be ruled.

Akinwunmi goofed on this one.

We move! No time for jokers!

Let the better man take the office!

fallout87:
No one is asking the right questions.

For one the US doesn't care for the most part about African (or foreign) interest unless they want to seize control or put their man in place.

Why is this so important to Munchin? Mind you Munchin is a man who doesn't care about middle class or poor here in the US..... talk much Africans.

Myer:


Apparently you failed comprehension in school.

By the time you realise that foreign nations don't want Africa to compete with them economically you will understand.

How can you not deduce from the article that he's being probed because of his success with AfDB. When have you ever heard of AfDB or any other African establishment make an ntervention support to African nations of the magnitude he made?

In case you missed it, he was said to have already been investigated and exonerated but they just want to frustrate him with allegations of favouritism

Whether they like it or not Africa will be free from them eventually.

Don't let tribalism blind you from your greater enemy.

cosef:


If NOI or any Igbo was the one indicted by the US, your yorubas will be jubilating and masturbating. We've seen it severally with Iweala, Aruma Oteh and other Igbos whom you've slandered so badly.

agabusta:


Thank you sir.

They mentioned favouritism in appointments and contracts and lack of due process.

I expected them to furnish us with some of the details of their allegation for us to out it in the right perspective, but nothing!

the letter, more than a dozen pages long and dated April 2020, bank staff also complained of "preferential treatment for Nigeria and Nigerians".

They said in particular that while Nigeria owned a little more than nine per cent of the shares in AfDB, Nigerians "made up roughly 25 per cent of the newly recruited managerial functions" under a "massive recruitment drive that was launched due to the restructuring of President Adesina between 2016 and 2018."

The new managers allegedly include a brother-in-law of the president and a childhood friend.

Mr Adesina said: "I am 100 per cent confident that due process and transparency, based on facts and evidence, will indicate that these are all nothing more than spurious and unfounded allegations.

Another example raised by the bank staff was that of awards received by Mr Adesina in 2017 and 2019 of US$250,000 and US$500,000 from groups in the United States and South Korea.

"It is not clear if he received these awards as the President of the AfDB or as a private citizen," but "dozens of people, bank staff, executive directors" and others including family members "attended the award ceremonies at the bank's costs."

The letter went on to ask: "If these awards were private, why did the bank support associated costs? If they were awarded to the President of the Group of the Bank were the awards returned to the Bank?"

Shame on your for wasting your time typing all this tripe. Mumu, China is not America's competition; it's the EU. Stop trading with dollars and trade in Yuan? Hate will blind you. Even Asian countries are not trading in Yuan.

[/b]When you take time off typing rubbish online, review some of China's loan contracts across the continent; you'd see who your real enemy is[b].

Relatives of President Adesina have been appointed to strategic positions within this Abidjan-based institution, which notably manages public money from African taxpayers. But these appointments flout the strict rules of recruitment, insist the whistleblowers. They cite the case of a friend of Mr. Adesina appointed to a managerial position, yet still occupied by his predecessor. This forced the AfDB briefly to pay two salaries. Another, a childhood friend this time, was awarded a contract for $ 326,000 (about 300,000 euros) in 2017 for his Nigerian communications company, before being recruited to the AfDB for a few months later. However, during an internal audit of the institution, the contract was reported as potentially falling under a“Conflict of interest” .

I managed to find the Le Monde Afrique article which provides a bit more details. See excerpts:

PS: Use Google Translate or other translation software to convert the article from French to English.

a4cube:
This is a good advice but you know who always play the opposite. Did you remember Air Peace saga sometime last yr?

Olominira:

To be honest with you, your level of international politics is extremely low. I would not be able to respond to all you wrote. Let me just correct just one big lie or lack of information there; The entire world actually wants China to drop "Developing Economy" but China do not want because they would loose a lot of trade benefits. Pls take your time and read articles on this. It's better to be properly informed before making comments on public fora

Pascal9:
the appointment of a Yoruba to head a reputable organisation like adb is disaster, it is its downfall, I have worked with them, believe me they fantastically and chronically currupt, fraud is in their DNA. I did not abuse anybody I only stated what I know.

Pascal9:
where did you get the information, China is still developing

Olominira:


Nigerians must always unite to fight off common enemy. The USA framed up Onyema for canceling deal of buying their flying coffin called Boeing MAX. Once US can't control you they would label you corrupt. People like us would find it difficult to believe anything US is saying about others, because USA is a terrible lying machine.

SIRTee15:


Don't be fooled by the french media sudden concern about nepotism in Afdb....
France wants him out badly...
They will be the biggest loser if adesina returns as president....
He has decentralised the operation of the bank making it impossible for France to control from Paris....

Nigeria has only 4 senior staff members....check their names in my previous thread....despite being the largest shareholder.....something the article conveniently forgot to mention......
France on the other hand, has 65 senior staffs working in the bank....mind u their contribution is insignificant....
Did article mention that...no..

Forget all this talk....France is just paranoid their stronghold on francophone countries will soon be dismantled.....
Even the chairperson of the board, an Ivorian has agreed the indictment should be squashed....
During the panel investigation, none of the whistleblowers came out to testify, they neither sent credible facts to back their claim to the panel....
Adesina already said he donated the 750 thousand dollars award to charity......
They ain't got nothing on him, they just using the media to discredit him.....

However, if he must go, then nigeria should insist one of the guys he brought to the bank as replacement....
The bank vp okonkwo and the former PENCOMM boss Chinelo are good replacement....
The stronghold of France on African countries must come to an end....

Please shut it. If NOI or any Igbo was the one indicted by the US, your yorubas will be jubilating and masturbating. We've seen it severally with Iweala, Aruma Oteh and other Igbos whom you've slandered so badly. We are paying you back in your coin.

Adesina is thief, USA cannot make mistakes here. They have their facts.

romenna:
Africans are still slaves.
Why allow America have a say in our affairs?

Subduer:

[s]Not all Yorubas are anti-Igbos. And must Igbos always receive 100% concensus?

It's in the best interest of Igbos to SUPPORT Adesina NOW. It doesn't Yorubanise me, or Ngozi, to take a CONSIDERED stand for the benefit of everyone.
French people are trying to control the Eco currency, & they know that Adesina UNDERSTANDS what they're up to. It's our call in Nigeria. Not even Buhari should be allowed to SELL all Nigerians to SLAVE for the French Economy.[/s]
