I dont care about sanusi or okonjo, none of them have made any significant contribution to the common man's life. My worry is about the 12billion dollar debt that we owed. What were they used for. Nigerian government (note not Nigerians) are living above their means, and that is what is causing so much problems for us. borrowing money to perform recurrent things like building roads and payment of salary is the dumbest thing I've ever heard of. common-sense says if you cant afford it, don't do it. Live within your means. Their should be more conservative limit to what a government can borrow. Some of these loans that are borrowed are not serviceable. This, plus non-transparency of the fiscal behaviour of our government is what we should start crying foul about. And one wonders why their is no improvement in the life of the common man. The latest trend now, is to award contracts to foreign firms, who in turn import their poorly skilled workers to work in government awarded contracts. Nigerians are not serious yet. I would personally prefer that government live within their means and not borrow any money from anybody. If you cant pay your teachers, let private schools run the show, if you don't have money to build roads, giddy up and do something to raise money. Because these people can easily run to the IMF and other co thieves to borrow money, they have become lazy and fiscally mischievous. What is the evident result of the following;poor infrastructural development, morons in government, and a stagnant society.

We the Christians of the East do not want Islamic banking!

That is why I hate being in this country. We don't want it, but it is being forced on us just like the OIC!

Chairman, Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), Kaduna State chapter, Bishop David Bakare, has advised Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, to resign from office before advocating the introduction of Islamic banking in the country.

In a statement yesterday in Kaduna, Bishop Bakare said that Sanusi would be better off in the Islamic banking agenda if he (Sanusi) were a religious leader.

The fire-spitting cleric therefore, advised the CBN boss to choose between the idea of Islamic banking and his job at the nation’s apex bank, saying that advocating for a religious banking at this time of political crisis in the country could aggravate the tensed situation.

According to the statement, “Honestly, if Governor Sanusi Lamido Sanusi had done this advocacy for Islamic banking as a religious leader, it would have made a better sense than as a government official. Therefore, Sanusi should come out and tell the nation whose errand he is running and for who he speaks; is it for himself, Islam, or government of Nigeria?

“The PFN, Kaduna State, strongly condemns the Central Bank governor’s Islamic banking agenda at a time like this in Nigeria when we are still battling to douse the tension created by the last ‘political’ crisis with all the evident religious manifestations.“This obviously is an insensitive and reckless act of the highest order coming from such a high ranking officer of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

“No right thinking Nigerian would ordinarily venture into such a sensitive matter at any time in such a nation like Nigeria without an evil motive to create more tension in the nation or worse still to start another religious fighting such as had never been before in this nation.“Somebody, please, help tell Sanusi to let the sleeping dog lie, and not put the nation into another avoidable distraction and dangerous crisis. We call on President Goodluck Jonathan not to wait until trouble begins before acting,” Bishop Bakare said.

there are over 20 banks in Nigeria, why are you itching for a bank that doesn't even have a branch anywhere near you, even unity bank that is seen as a northern bank do you bank there?

Weird that Christian universities in Nigeria makes it compulsory for 'all' students to go for 'holy worship' and no agenda or script brouhaha

Now we are getting somewhere

This little boy called NAMFAV how old are you, you talk like a spoilt fulani brat , why are you picking on this woman. 1/10 page of her qualification is far better than ur sanusi's that went to almajiri school. This OP question has nothing to do with her.

She can ( when she becomes Minister) but she won't because she will find him more useful & more proactive than what she had in her previous ministerial life.
