I have never known anything called tribalism. A very senior cleric in the church accused me of removing Christians from decision-making positions in CBN. I became CBN Governor in 2009; the term of the CBN Board of Directors expired. [b]I recommended a board to President Yar'Dua; out of 11 members on the board only 3 are muslims. The Monetary Policy Committee of the CBN which I constituted has 7 members, only 1 is a muslim. A Deputy Governor's seat became open when I was Governor; Dr Kingsley Moghalu was in Geneva. I went, convinced him to come back to Nigeria and convinced the President to appoint him.
On our 5-member Committee of Governors(COG), 3 are Christians, 2 are muslims. [size=14pt]We have 24 departmental directors in CBN that I appointed, only 8 are muslims. Theses are the people who took the decision on Islamic Banking. The Director of Financial Policy and Regulation who signed and issued the guidelines on Islamic Banking, his name is CHRISTIAN Chukwu. He reports to D-G in charge of Financial Systems Stability, Dr K. Moghalu. The report comes to the COG of 5, three(3) of them are Christians. It goes to a board (CBN) of 11, eight ( of them are Christians.
Then all these Christians must be bad christians if they are part of an attempt to Islamise Nigeria[/size][/b]. I dont want to engage people. I can discuss this on religious ground. I can quote from Exodus, Deuteronomy and Leviticus. I have quotes on Islamic Banking. I can debate on religious grounds and prove to anybody based on the Bible. In fact, the Natural Council of Christianity at one time said anybpody who gives usury should not be buried in a catholic cemetery. I can debate with anybody on religious grounds based on the Bible and the teachungs of the Church that usury is less consistent with Christian teachings

This is a mischievous  post that has been circulating for weeks now! The information here is totally false and was never uttered by Sanusi,
I challenged the poser, to provide the so called "thisday" link where he got this from![/font]

MBG4Real:

^^^^
I doubt this too. Even the Muslims will feel marginalization with such arrangement.    

Truly, truly, if this information is a lie as you said, then it is unfortunate. How can a discerning mind make a calculated effort to deceive others. It will not be well with the originator of such lie. May Allah be praised.

The plain truth is all the banks in nigeria applied for intrest free banking certificate, but of all the jaiz bank who have been in operation in nigeria for more than 5yrs now where given the chance to do that, reason being that in its records they do not operate on intrest, and within two yrs of operation they have given out charity offer in billions to less previliage nigerian,
the issue is we should learn how to work on words rather than looking at the body that is offering the word,
the igbos, remember okonjo once says the intrest free banking is good and needed in nigeria, for God sake she is an xpact in banking field.
All i rather would asked is we wait and see the mode of operation they have, then we can have all the time to call sls to order if they fail to deliver as xpected.

SLS made this statement at the House of Representative hearing on the floor of the House and it was air live on television stations, and has been repeated several times. I cant remember the date again, but I watched it live and I do testify here that it is true.

What source do u want again apart from the one provided?

Why are you ridiculing yourself in the public like this? You are saying tow thing at the same time, "but of all the jaiz bank who have been in operation in nigeria for more than [b]5yrs now", "and within two yrs of operation, " 5 years and 2 years, which is which? Where is the Head Office of Jaiz, or any of their branch? Jaiz was granted license but I don't know if the had been able to meet up with the capital requirement. Was it not last two weeks or so when they had their AGM that they said it was going to be a regional bank in the north? [/b]

Again, you said "they have given out charity offer in billions to less previliage (sic) nigerian (sic)". Is a bank a charity organization? Where and when did they give out charity in billions to which Nigerians? Or was the 'charity' given to unknown terrorists?

This is a lesson to Christian office holders, that whenever you hold any office, use it to promote your religion.
Christians have not been doing it, they need to start doing it.

Guy, you can defend Sanusi all you like, but some of us know for sure that Islamic Banking is being introduced firstly to propagate Islam and secondly for the economic survival of the North.

Non-interest Banking is good. I am a banker of over 5years experience in Credit Risk Management and I can tell you authouritatively that I have worked in a bank that has structured a non-interest loan for customers before. What the bank did was to convert the loan to equity in customer's business under an SPV - Special Purpose Vehicle, so that it qualifies to share in the profit of the customer's business. We did it for a number of big ticket real estate and oil and gas projects. So you can see that non-interest banking is not alien to our banks. If the scope would need to be broadened, it does not necessarily have to be done with religious colouration. To re-define non-interest banking as Islamic banking is very very unnecessary.

In Nigeria that I know, things like this are never done with unbias intentions. Sanusi is telling you what he wants you to believe. Sanusi is a fulani man who subscribes to their life long ambition of dipping the Quran into the Atlantic Ocean.

You are a big f.o.o.l for saying this. It is people like you that's our problem in this country.
Instead of promoting unity, u're saying Poo with the Poo hole u call a mouth  Undecided
