GODWIN EMEFIELE: A brilliant Banker that was used and messed up.

Godwin Emefiele finished as one of the top students in his class when he obtained his Bachelor's Degree in Banking and Finance.
He is also an alumnus of Stanford University, Harvard University and Wharton School of Business. He was a wonderful lecturer, and he performed excellently well as Managing Director of Zenith Bank.
After 18years of Banking experience, he moved to CBN. And in 2014, he was made the CBN Governor by former president Jonathan. Till after the Jonathan tenure, Nigerians didn't complain about him.

Buhari came in 2015, and thereafter, Nigeria economy Nosedived and all policies of CBN aggravated our situations. Buhari retained Emefiele for his 8yrs in power, inspite of the glaring economic woes. So far now, Godwin Emefiele, unarguably is now the worst CBN governor in Nigeria history.
But in reality, it was Buhari Government that allegedly used him for everything he did, which caused pain to Nigerians, most expecially multiple foreign exchange and Naira redesigning. Indirectly, Emefiele allegedly acted BUHARI Scripts.

Imagine, with his bad policies, he was not removed. He was rewarded with another 5 years term in 2019. During the last election, he wanted to become the president too, and APC Form was purchased for him. Funnily, he didn't resign and Buhari didn't remove him. We cried then for his removal, but the president didn't act against him.
Even, he ought to have been arrested in several times, but Buhari and his people protected him again. Few months ago, after the allegation of financing terrorism and financial crime against him, DSS wanted to arest him but when Emefiele returned to Nigeria after spending several weeks away, military personnel and intelligence officers were deployed to ensure that he was not arrested by the DSS.
The then CBN governor headed to his office after his return with massive security, specifically military protection.

Some people didn't know that so many people in government were benefiting from the failed system Emefele headed. And these Beneficiaries suddenly became Billionaires from multiple foreign exchange, Anchor borrowers programme etc.
But as usual, a new government is now in power, and he is now the Sacrificial Lamb for what he was used for. And he deserves to be prosecuted in accordance with the law.

But this is a lesson for everyone. Just do what is right, and don't let any boss/people use you for their selfish gains. Now he has soiled his family name after a wonderful career in the banking industry.

Politics is a dirty game, if you love your sanity, dignity and peace of mind avoid politics and politicians

More importantly never ever allow yourself to be used as a pawn or catspaw in someone else's game.

Emefiele deserves what he got, he should count himself lucky, Tinubu is forgiving.

So bad

Nothing brilliant about Emefiele the terrorist sponsor

The person that wrote the nonsense is an idiot.

Those of us who were unlucky enough to work with Godwin Emefielelelele in Zenith Bank when he was Deputy Managing Director and later Managing Director know that he is a dumb and idiotic nincompoop with no little sense at all.

EMEFIELE is a coward nothing like brilliant in him

Anyone who is supporting this and is not saying anything against those that went and hired Ethiopian airlines plane and painted it nigeria colour and told nigerians that he has started a business for them is worse than emefiele and those he is criticizing

Emefile is the biggest scammer Nigeria ever had

Niger Delta terrorist organisations.

Emefiele was using CBN money to finance terrorism in the Niger Delta areas.

One or two of the terror groups even made threats to Nigerians that they would strike and causes terror if Emefiele is not elected as APC primaries

Okay, i hope he will righly be prosecuted

If you have friends or relatives who worked in Zenith Bank between year 1990 and 2015, ask them. They will tell you that Emefielelelele is a useless goat

What is brilliant about him?.. a willing tool in the hands of cabals who comfortably worked against his Country to satisfy his own greed and those of some selected few in the corridors of power.

President Tinubu should avoid choosing any SE person as CBN governor for now. They don't do things objectively and are always driven by money and what they will acquire quick quick. No offence meant, just stating facts.

Then Stanford, Havard and Wharton Business School have failed in Emiefewerey.

Pls we should avoid replying to any comment who oppose to the arrest of emefiele here on nairaland or anywhere. It's the usual propaganda of if I can't have it let us destroy it by our nzogbo nzogbu brothers.

Anyone who doesn't like what tinubu is doing is the real enemy of this country.

They thought they can intimidate our president by raising issues on every of his actions. We they are chameleon and we have got them.

What thier forefathers could not do since 1960 tinubu is doing it in one week.

Thier runaway forefathers shit inside thier pants at the metion of the north.

Thier tactis is to destroy Nigeria by creating chaos and confusion. And they are stupid enouhh to think everyone is gullible like them to fall for thier cheap propaganda trying to pitch the north against the west. But they always fail in all thier endeavors.

If according to them buhari is guilty of any crime, let them go and arrest buhari and leave our tinubu alone to concentrate on what he has started.

You see this north and west alliance will be fruitful.

Nobody should reply or try to explain anything to them concerning asiwaju administration again. Let them wail wail wail and kill themselves there.

Impressive CV but Emefiele got to the top by being a 'yes man's and doing the bid of his paymasters, not by any pinch of hardwork, perseverance or application of knowledge.

Insurance teacher,he was neva brilliant,he is just crafty idiot,just worse than yahooboyz >:many of nigerians did not know emefiele messed up zenith and left zenith to die before he left to cbn(he was neva qualified as CBN head. Incompetent fool he is,just like patami. STOP HYPING THOSE THAT HAVE TORMENTED NIGERIANS,is a grave sin,BEFORE THE ARROW OF GOD STRIKE YOU DOWN.

A very useless post trying to blame others for your failure, greed and corruption.

I remember vividly how Sanusi exposed the rot in Jonathan government and was later removed.

Why didn't Emiefele speak out against the atrocities of Buhari or resign?

Because he was a beneficiary of the useless Buhari corrupt ways of working and governing

Emiefele should spend at least 20 years in prison. He's a useless and incompetent corrupt idiot and he should not be allowed to roam around otherwise he'll continuously sabotage this government and country with the information he has.

He'll be the gateway to fishing out other crooks in Buhari's government if he ever wants to smell freedom again

Don't compare pls. Emefiele action is the worse action during the crazy 8yrs.
His action could have lead to war or anarchy.
Imagine having money but you can't feed? Nothing can be worse than that ooo.

He should be locked up without seeing the sun for a yr. I gave a lady #500 note during the crisis and she was so filled with joy despite having to return the fund to transfer to my account.
Someone I know personally that is well comfortable in the Nigerian context had to beg me to help raised 3k for the family to have cash for needs.
The case is just too numerous. I wasn't short of cash during that period and I never bought cash, but I felt for people around me.

This is the guy that widened the gap between official exchange rate and black market!
Imagine you have to pay almost double to buy Dollars or Pounds in the black market for legitimate reasons.
I know people who have Form A requests that has been pending for over 6 months to pay tuition fees abroad. Yet that Mallam at Sabo never runs out of Dollars.

He was greedy and was available to be used while he got his own cut, believing he had a seat at the table as he refused to acknowledge the fact that he was actually part of the menu.

A brilliant banker who brilliantly funded IPOB.

My brother cool down, it's all politics. We are not babies. Tinubu is just looking for a way to pay back buhari for all the underground work he buhari did against his ambition.

I said it somewhere else that buhari was a big coward for starting what he couldn't finish.

When you want to hurt a man, a powerful one at that, make sure you hurt him so badly that he cannot come back to retaliate.

After all the underground scheming, the idiotic herdsman now went and exposed his voter's slip to prove what exactly?

And he developed Zenith bank in his era...Are you sure you are a good worker

DSS would soon be disgraced at the court.

He is from south south, not south east

What is new in what Tinubu did? You are just funny, all is expected...since January DSS wanted to arrest Emefiele, so if anyone else became president, same thing will happen

Hard work is part of it...Or is laziness that he got that Cv?
