Adesina has done well, We in Africa are wise enough to handle our own affairs. If he has done wrong, let the AU lead any investigations

Not true.
Re: Adesina To Step Aside As AfDB President For Fresh Probe by gabicon: 5:17pm On May 27, 2020
The allegations have all shades of politics written all over it. It's interesting how the treasury secretary of US who is meant to be one of the busiest people in America today as a result of the Corona virus, suddenly has time for Africa. They say AFDB under adeshina is giving too much Loans to African countries, is he meant to give a few, especially as a result of the development deficit? The question we should be asking is what do these people want, in Africa we play money politics the west play interest politics.

I Still Support Adesina, I'll Never Deny Him Because Of All This Unproven Allegations. If Buhari Is Wise, He Can Manage To Help Him At All Cost Because He Will Definitely Be Of Help One Day In That Capacity. Don't Let The Western World Fool You, They Always Want To Be In Control And It Should Not Be So. They Have A Way Of Protecting Their Corrupt Citizens, Let's Learn To Do So Too.We Are No Fool.They Are No Gods

Is this not the same guy alot of people were busy saying "he looks Presidential", "he should be the one ruling Nigeria"... etc, etc, Everything is just easier said than done. And looks alone is nothing. As a Nigerian I wish him the best and hope he is not guilty of the charges. We see how it goes...

When I read comments on Nairaland about issues like this and see Nigerians castigating their compatriot because Oyinbo man said he has done something wrong is quite discouraging.

I really don't understand what the real situation is, but based on the fact that this man was asked to step aside because of favouritism by America and other European countries shows that this man probably did nothing wrong.

Now let me dissect the whole case. Adesina is accused of favouritism, big deal? Which Oyinbo man doesn't involve in favouritism in support of his people. As a Nigerian living abroad, I, just like many others have witnessed favouritism many times. An average white man will never employ a black man instead of his fellow white man with the same skills set. NEVER!. Did Adesina favor people with Africa interest instead of people with foreigner's interest? If so, then we should hail and support this man instead of bashing him.

You may ask, why is America and European countries so much interested in Africa development bank? Good question. With the present pandemic, America's and Europe's economies have been severely devastated by lockdowns and economic inactivities. Now it is time for them to get money from their piggy bank which is Africa just like the way they did after 2nd world war devastation. Do you ever think America and European countries investment in AfDB is to develop Africa? I laugh in Cantonese. Those investments are for them to have control over AfDB so that they can loot Africa to develop america and europe after economic downturn just like what we are witnessing right now with Covid-19 pandemic.

What do I think will happen? I think they will remove Adesina and put an African puppet that will serve their interests in looting Africa just like they always do.

We Africans are in a very precarious state not only because there are external forces that do not have our interests in mind but also we are very ignorant of our situation.

Re: Adesina To Step Aside As AfDB President For Fresh Probe by teepain: 5:29pm On May 27, 2020
U.S. criticism of the bank’s internal processes follows comments by World Bank President David Malpass in February that multilateral lenders including the AfDB tend to provide loans too quickly, and, in the process, add to African nations’ debt problems.

I find the highlighted part of this post offensive.

Bretton Woods institutions like IMF, World Bank have been killing African countries with loans with onerous terms but they didn't consider it as 'adding to African nations' debt' but AfDB that is giving loans to African countries at lower interest rates is being accused!

If Africans wouldn't chart their course, Africa would continue to be milked by these people.

RuddyFusion:
Some of the accusations are quite damming especially the sexual harassment part that was overlooked, the guy in SA collecting pay while doing almost nothing and one other one that leads to one or two resignations of some peeps in protest.....

Though I will love to see Adesina response previously to the banks ethic committee and also want to know what the powers that be thinks about him because regardless of the position of the US and other interested parties on this, Home support including Africa as a block is important for his survival.....
But then, on a second look on most of the accusations, I will say it resembles bad belle type, to say the least.
he was accused of sexual harassment?

I suspect western conspiracy on this against one of Africa's finest. Those guys are after nothing but their own interest but sadly, Africa is yet to up their game.

Once he steps down, I don't see him coming back there again. QUITE UNFORTUNATE.

It is their ways. Find a way to subject Africa to servitude by providing us with ridiculous loans with outrageous terms. Now that an institution that has Africa's interest is providing loans with much better terms, it is time to take out the head of such institution and but puppets that will listen to their calls

Compare this case with that of Obasa, you will notice that in Adesina's case, he would do the right thing by stepping down and clear his name.

Meanwhile, Obasa is shouting upandan that money is there to be spent, thereby dragging the seat of the house speaker to the mud.

Nigeria is Afdbs biggest shareholder and we have to fight to keep our own at the helm of affairs there. He is protecting our interest. Reminds me of how US schemed out Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala from being the world bank president in Favour of their citizen. But African development bank is an African institution and we it’s in our interest we stave off these neocolonialists.
is Buhari smart enough to ensure a Nigerian remains the head and rally African nation's? I personally won't mind if Buhari and his goons play dirty as long as adeshina remains there. American's trying to control afdb on one side and China setting debt traps for Africa on the other side. God save Africa

African Development Bank is now American Development Bank. This is why Africa is still poor, the western conspiracy to keep Africa crawling is still alive. Very sad!

Which dirty CV?.......he should be probed and if found guilty made to face the law.



Nonsense post. What if he's guilty nko?

BTW which one be is and was, u high?



Part of the allegations against him is that he employed one of your sisters from SE as a Senior officer of the bank taking the salary of a VP. The woman is the former DG of PENCOM. It was alleged that he hire her notwithstanding the corruption allegations against the woman by GMB Government.

It is a case of Nigeria against Nigeria in Africa.

I just hope Africa will rise against this colonialism on African soil and Africa's organisation. The industrialized countries condemning China are themselves worse and more selfish.

None of these G7 and G20 loves Africa. It's high time Africa asserted itself to take care of her destiny.
