Jenny you have passed a strong and clear message to Adesina to follow the path of honour. Adesina is putting an organisation that brought him into international limelight into public opprobrium is quite unfortunate. Some of your largest institutional investors have passed a vote of no confidence in you yet you a busy selling a superman personae to your gullible admirers.
I don’t believe in the fairy tales of superman but I believe in the reality of strong and enduring institutions.

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
If you look vividly at tenure of every African president that rule in African country, they are all Power Drunk, and always at loggerheads with their fellow counterparts. e.g, Idi_Amin Dada of Uganda, Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe, Lorentz Gbagbo of ivory coast, Gambi president, Burundi president who died of recent held the country spell bound for 15years and insisted on a whopping retirement or else he won't,until death pluck him off, Mohammed Gaddafi.. And African president are also tyrant and dictator!!!

What is their desperation in working in African bank. They’re constantly keeping Africa poor with their involvement in all our activities. It’s time for Africa to support their own and bring forward their best brains to manage Africa d affairs. The world might as well be coming to an end considering the growing population of poor Africans and the limited resources left in Africa. If we don’t wake up to the reality and start building Africa we might as well go extinct in less than 50 years time with hunger and diseases

Subduer:

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.

This quote shows that another hitler is on the rise...

Well, i don’t know from what angle you’re seeing this situation from but i think it’s best to frustrate white people out of our institutions if we are to really develop Africa. Jenny’s exit from AfDP is a welcome development, there are more to exit so that Africans can manage Africans affairs if we are to really develop Africa. It is however degrading to say Jenny is showing Adesina path of honor. Adesina is an honorable and highly respected professional and nothing has changed about him till his time.

i don't agree with you, let afdb kuku die off, african nations are not ready at all.

Africans shud learn to have high standards and ethics in conformity with best global practices. Most of our institutions are plagued with man know man policy and corrupt tendencies. Probably not criminal bt counter productive in the long run.

While I think Adesina is an excellent individual and character to head the Afdb I believe he ahud listen to observations and criticisms of the petitions and work on them. This I believe the bank is already doing.

Jenny’s exit shud not be seen as a welcome development, Africans have run every good thing they’ve had to the ground or to mediocrity with either corruption and man know man and other abnormal practices. We have not achieved any global fit in these sectors to say we can develop Africa. The whites are not special bt we need to change our mentality and deal with issues without too much sentiments bt rather best practices.

Nice one, this is how people with integrity and honour should act, unlike that afonja man that keep crying all over the place on how he is being persecuted. The dude has been busy spinning one conspiracy theory over another on how he is being targeted yet he has lots of skeleton in his cuboard and questionable acts that needs to be investigated.

I don't know why these people are always like that, they will always commit fraudulent acts but once you want to investigate them they start being ridiculous and petty.

Same thing happened to the former afonja house of reps speaker Dimeji Bankole, former afonja finance minister Kemi Adeosun, former afonja reps member Etteh and several others, and the funny thing is that they always end up biting the dust grin grin

They should emulate the Igbos on how to manage offices with integrity like Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, Emeka Anyaoku, Arunma Oteh and so many others and stop embarrassing us.

God bless you, instead of people to call on Adeshina to do the right and honorable thing by resigning to allow investigation to be conducted, he has been grandstanding and spinning conspiracy theories.

If his hands are clean then why is he afraid of stepping down?

Dude has shown that wearing suit and bowtie all the time doesn't mean you're urbane. However, he forgot that the more he grandstands on this, the more he tarnishes whatever positive image he may have before.

People like Ngozi Okonjo Iweala have continued to represent Blacks globally through being altruistic and corrupt free, and that is why she has remained highly sought after by reputable global corporations.

Adeshina is not seeing the bigger picture at all.
Re: Jennifer Blanke Resigns As AfDB Vice President by lokzie: 9:27am On Jun 11, 2020
We all knew Sepp Blatter was corrupt, but we know the people who have reaped immediate benefit from his ousting from office. The joker, yet to be played may be cutting funding if Akinwunmi escapes the investigation.
At the end of the day, one way or the other, they will get what they want.

festacman:
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.

the man know man thing is not only an African thing but its also widely practiced in developing nations all over the world. It exists too in the western world just that it is minimal. I agree with you that Africa must uphold high ethics standard. The typical African culture is a factor in the way of these high ethical standards
