And the plot thickens...
Blanke cited family reason for her resignation, but we can feel the hand of Esau and voice of Jacob in all of this. US should hands up already.

She left because she knew THEY HAVE ARRIVED.... because she knew it won't be long before she will be shown the exit door.. The WHITES are wise, they still remember what Idi Amin did to them, what Shagari did, What Mugabe did.. African Bank should be run by African Man, that's what the African man will say, but it won't be long before it will plunged into bankruptcy and oblivion

This sudden resignation of Dr. Jennifer Blanke from her post as VP at African Development Bank (AfDB) might be indicative of the relentlessness of US' interference to indict Dr. Akinwumi Adesina using independent investigators.

However, as we observe closely the unfolding events, let all Nigerians be consoled by these two beautiful quotes from Dr. Jennifer Blanke's resignation letter:

“I am leaving purely for family reasons to rejoin my family in Switzerland, after a very fulfilling time at the bank. I will miss the bank and the excellent team we have built."

“I thank President Akinwumi Adesina for his strong leadership, guidance, and support which have undoubtedly motivated and helped my team and I to play a key role in the transformation of the bank."

These words of testimonies about the leadership of Dr. Akinwumi Adesina from an American-Swiss who is a renowned and globally respected development economist, with over 20 years of experience, put a big question mark on the motive behind the effort to paint Dr. Adesina black and deny him merited 2nd term as AfDB president.
Going back to work to serve the people doesn’t worth dying for... If they don’t want you for second term, protect your reputation and the good work you’ve done the first tenor....

No mind the guy jare. He does not understand that there are hidden meanings behind the things we all read in the news.
He extracts the news we all read and rereads it to us like we cannot read for ourselves. It is obvious she quit because it is likely Adeshina is vindicated and she is very likely to be the petitioner. She stood to benefit from Adeshina's exit.

So you can't see she was the petitioner .when your petitions fails the honorable thing to do is resign.

Dr Jennifer Blanke, the Vice President for Agriculture, Human and Social Development at the African Development Bank, AfDB, has on Wednesday, resigned her position.

Blanke who joined the bank in 2017, said she is leaving purely for family reasons.

Her words: “I am leaving purely for family reasons to rejoin my family in Switzerland, after a very fulfilling time at the bank. I will miss the bank and the excellent team we have built. I will continue to strongly support the bank from wherever I am.

“I thank President Akinwumi Adesina for his strong leadership, guidance, and support which have undoubtedly motivated and helped my team and I to play a key role in the transformation of the bank.

“I feel privileged to have been given an opportunity to contribute to the bank’s agenda for accelerating Africa’s social and economic transformation.”

Recall that the U.S Treasury Secretary, Steven Mnuchin, had called for an independent probe into allegations by a group of whistleblowers against the AfDB President, Akinwumi Adesina thereby rejecting plans by the bank’s board to stop the investigation on the issue.

Adesina had long denied the allegation.

ONCE A WHITE MAN FINDS YOU WANTING that is the end of the road !

Obasanjo can only make NOISE defending Adesina and trying to be a PAN AFRICANIST.

THE AMERICANS believe that as long as their DOLLAR is the centre of attractions in the AFDB they must have a larger say in the way the institutions is being run.

NIGERIA GOVERNMENT THAT REFUSE TO ACCEPT RESTRUCTURING AND GOOD GOVERNANCE will regret all their actions.

I FORESEE MORE TERRIBLE ECONOMIC PROBLEMS FOR NIGERIA AND MOST AFRICAN COUNTRIES DUE TO THE MASSIVE CORRUPTION that Nigeria and most african countries had witness.

I SUGGEST THAT ADESINA RESIGNS FROM HIS POSITIONS TO AT LEAST SAVE THE AFDB from the attack of the western countries.

TAKE OR LEAVE IT the western countries developed the AFDB with their money and take it to the level it is today.

OBASANJO should stop writing USELESS LETTERS that only help to INDICT his kind of person.

ADESINA should resigns now and let the REFORMERS come and mold the banks to International standard.

Truth be said african countries are not doing very well including the so called south africa and others we feel are better than Nigeria, Honestly Nigeria has been pulling its weight over the years but most African countries are just too lazy to build a strong continent. It also shows that perhaps only Nigeria and may be Ethiopia are truly independent, most africa nations don't even mention the francophone block are still tied to their colonial masters. South Africa, Kenya, Ghana are all noisy nations, they are not independent at all especially economically. real bullshit

All these over rated expatriates. Why was she even hired by Adeshina?

Go to UI and other places and see seasoned development economists that understands the peculiarity of African economies and not these oyibos that are interested in fat pay check.

That was how IMF recommended one of their staff as the chief economic adviser to OBJ during his tenure but he played a fast one on them and appointed Soludo much to the dismay of IMF that he promised to appoint their man after IMF gave Nigerian debt forgiveness.

This resignation is bad timing regardless of the reason she gave

I remember when a worker was electrocuted at a school that I was the head teacher. Before that time, I had planned to resign but I had to jettisoned it because:
The owner of the school, out of fear stopped coming.
Most teachers were afraid too that the man's family might storm the school to cause trouble.
The school needed leadership then. I had to see through that session because of that

E pain am. Maybe Na she dem don promise Adesina position. grin cheesy. As the thing fail she don do protest resignation or maybe she has been busted as the instigator of all the issues o ya japa. Something is fishy with the resignation as it comes on the heels of Adesina not being investigated as expected.


Maybe this maybe that naim put us where we dey now. Poverty nation. We 'maybe' people's opinions. We distrust so much. So bad! Take her final comments and assessments of Adesina for what she stood for.

Jennifer Blanke, Chief Economist of the World Economic Forum ... born into a POLISH-JEWISH family
1.These Jews owned the Trans- Atlantic slave trade from behind the scenes.
2.Judah Benjamin & his allies engineered & sponsored the American civil war.
3.Wall Street Jews created Communism in Russia, & engineered the 1st World War to dethrone the Czar of Russia, & the Kaizer Wilhelm of Germany.
4. Many influential Jews in the Wall Street ARE furiously anti-Trump.
5. Same Jews control Franco-phone Africans from France, & Nigeria through England.
6. And now wants to include Nigeria in their Eco currency to be printed & controlled from France's Ministry of Finance.
7. That means direct enslavement of Africans, right in Africa, in this 21st century.


Nonsense

its only surprising because you have the Nigerian mentality of do or die affair ,in a country where the people come first people in such position resign not to destroy their reputation ,take for example the case of kemi adeosun she didn’t resign because Nigerian citizens mattered the most in that position she occupied but she resigned because she got tired of criticism and the fact that she forged her certificate it took her lots of time and months to resign self and from what I see in the case of kemi it’s the first time a Nigerian would do such a thing ....in a nutshell the Nigerian mentality is either they die in that position or nothing and the funny thing is that they are very wealthy but have a poor mentality.
