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.

Nobody operate on man know man pass China....
They have utmost disregard for ethics or they turn blind eye to corruption if it favours them...
But they 've been able to develop strong institution that ushered in unprecedented prosperity making them the largest economy in the world....

Our problem isn't corruption or lack of ethics.....
Africa's main problem is lack of foresight n lack of passion from our leaders to develop the continent....

Adesina's main problem is poor boardroom political game....
He chose to ignore the sensitivity of some key players in Afdb without giving serious consideration to the consequences.....
Key players that didn't support his candidacy in 2015....
He had 5 yrs to extend the olive branch but decided to use strong head....

Forget all the talk about corrupt practices, they are tools western nations use to demonize people thay dont like in the eyes of the public....

I also disagree that Africans run down whatever they head....
Ethiopian airline is a good example of Africans exemplary management competence.....
At a time western airline are struggling and seeking govt loans to avoid bankruptcy....
EA is declaring profit n expanding its coast....

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.

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.

Yes Adesina issues isnt corruption I know bt sm politics and abit of ethics.

China deals with corruption especially the one that is destructive to the common good of National development bt here in Africa we don’t care our know what we shudnt tolreate. China willl sentence u to death if ur corrupt practice affects their development. No questions.

My point is Africa and Africans need to wake up.

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.

Trump wants him out because he sees during his time African countries are having a good relationship with China and this pose a perceived threat to him. Corruption under his watch is unprecedented in US history yet his government has the gut to probe AFDB. If in this age africans can't take decisions on issues of this nature then I doubt if they deserve any existence.

She suddenly remember she has to be with her family at this critical time. Generally, people can never be trusted even though she has nice words for Adesina.

There are two things happening here, either she's leaving probably she honestly feel disappointed by the US action or she's the whistleblower and things not going as planned making it a game over

Trust me she is the whistle blower

Listen Mr. Man:

Your narration of why you stayed at your school is justifiable on the basis of providing leadership in the absence of established hierarchy.

Saying that people should not leave because people will say this or that has no place in the corporate world. So what if people say that you left because of the issues?

Bottom line remains there is no parallel between your situation and hers.

An ally can want your job. You need to see her profile. From professional event organizer to lead economist in WEF in 10yrs while doing PhD. A black woman will never be allowed to rise that fast. Now she’s VP in AFDB. The hands pulling the strings In the background probably promised her something. Which has failed or plot about to be exposed.
