Nigeria, Delta born, Havard trained, renowned economist Dr.mrs.Okonjo Iweala should be invited by the Nigerian government to help solve the current economic problems in the country.

She's the current vice president of world bank for African region,she's also the head of world trade organization and member of board of many top notch word institutions.

She should be invited to work with some sound economist back home to find a lasting solution to the present economic imbroglio nigeria finds herself
Bring back Kemi Adeosun to help. Ngozi Okonjo Iweala is very busy where she is and wouldn't want her name tainted by the current usurper whose tenure is facing judgement from the powers that be.

In serious establishments, once an elected official isn't capable of handling the task, he resigns. In establishments heading for doom, an elected official is more interested in completing his tenure even when he knows he has no single solution to the tasks before him. Therefore, all of you should allow him and his team complete his tenure while you all endure his incompetence.

like awolowo, Tinubu was the best also, until he was tested. Ebi mpawa people are full of propaganda, noisemaking and criticism of others. They always like fronting themselves as intellectuals when others are in a position of authority. Give the power you'll see that they are incredibly incompetent and very irritating and arrogant loudmouths.

This is their government, and we must all watch them sink the ship.
it is not wise to sink with a ship you can salvage

1. I see a lot of folks here claiming Okonjo Iweala mismanaged the economy. That's a lie. The squandering you're all talking about happened due to the insistence of the APC govs that all govt revenues be shared. They even took the matter to court.
It was Okonjo Iweala who started sovereign wealth fund for Nigeria. How has APC improved it?

All the talk of borrowing to pay salaries was just mentioned once and see how Zombies are latching into it.
The same party who condemned her for that now borrowed over 22trn to fund allocation. Which is worse of the two?

Was she the one who helped Tinubu built Lagos? By the time Tinubu finished his tenures -2031. Another person will still come and say he built Sokoto or Kano and Nigerians will match in that direction.

Few months before the end of Mr Jonathan's era, the federal government in which she was coordinating minister for the economy started borrowing to pay salaries despite the government having consistently received the largest crude oil revenues in the history of Nigeria.

Under her watch the money was all squandered or stolen by the likes of Deziani and other GEJ/PDP larkies.

Her excuse was that she advised the government to save but that it didn't. Absolute tosh. Why didn't she resign? People should stop trying to re-write history.

Also, she never faced an economic situation as tough and complex as we have today so we simply don't know if she would have been any better than those performing similar role now.

It's easy to be a finance minister when the government is making record revenues from oil revenues and bandits are not disrupting farming on such scale as we have presently.

The truth is, she was never really tested in the sort of economic conditions and circumstances as we have now. Any suggestion that she would have handled the current situation better is pure speculation. We simply don't know.



Oga, you people just come out and be talking anyhow, you obviously forgot or just skipped that Okonjo under OBJ's government cleared all Nigeria's foreign debts in tune of billions of dollars, saved for Nigeria over 50 billion dollars from the sales of crude, stabilized the economy from how the military government had damaged it.

Mind you the economy when OBJ entered was quite shaky, crude was selling around 30 dollars per barrel, had so many foreign debts, had so many sanctions because the of the past military governments, and they were able to achieve all these, so if she told you she advised GEJ's government and they did not listen to her, isn't it looking obvious?

I wouldn't really even advice her to come because of people like you who will still blame her for trying to help....

You are 💯% correct.

The economy was stable and revenue generated through crude oil sales were at All Time High.
There was massive corruption when she was around but Nigeria was also generating enough 💰 from crude sales, so the effect of corruption was very minimal.
Everything is complicated right now, there is massive corruption, low revenue generated through crude sales, high debt servicing and insecurities.
Bringing her at this critical period will only expose are weak points and flaws for the world to see.

The likes of Edu and Cardoso will most likely look like a guru if they were in charge when madam Ngozi was in charge.

No one can save you from your electoral foolishness but yourself! This same party under the chairmanship of Oshiomole that verbally attacked & accused her of stealing and being a major part of the problems of the nation in 2015, cannot possible be thinking about going back to lick their vomit. There is no one coming to save Nigeria, so either giddy up and get ready to give this party the Sri Lanka treatment or brace up as another eight years of your life is wasted by incompetence! cool

In 2014,even before Bubu came on board,Nigeria was borrowing money to pay workers even with the humongous money the govt made at that time.
Everything was swallowed.
Somebody who failed when there was plenty...
She doesn't have the capabilities of the people there now.
For Nigeria to grow,harsh decisions must be taken with great capabilities.

People fail to understand that the same Okonjo was part of Nigeria's problems. This is why it's easy to manipulate some Nigerians during elections because they do not understand the reality.

Nigeria still had sizeable revenue then,so we bidded to pay certain amount in order to have a reprieve.We were lucky.
It was Obasanjo that did that because we saw her flaws under Jonathan who was also a weak leader but a gentleman.
Obasanjo later sacked Okonjo.
