Ngozi Okonjo-iweala Must Resign – Prof. Tam David West by chino11(m): 3:00pm On Feb 05, 2012
The former Minister of Petroleum during the administration of General Muhammadu Buhari, Prof. Tam David West has called on the Minister of Finance, Mrs. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala to resign. In an exclusive interview with SaharaTV, Prof. West said that he plans to conduct a campaign to make sure that Mrs. Okonjo Iweala resigns.

“Mrs. Ngozi Okonji-Iweala is overblown…” the Professor of Virology said, “in British standard what she made in the university was 2nd class. There is nothing special about her. She must resign. She has misled President Jonathan.”

In a sweeping analysis of the Nigerian oil sector, Prof. West declared that “there is nothing like oil subsidy…It is a lie. What Nigeria is subsidizing is corruption.”

The 75-year senior academic painted a horrifying picture of the Nigerian oil industry. “The Nigerian oil is the worst managed in the world,” Prof West said. “It is managed by crooks. They are all crooks.”

He described the mess at the National Assembly investigation of oil subsidy were the Ministers of Petroleum, Finance and the Central Bank officials were giving conflicting figures on how much oil Nigeria uses and imports as a vindication of his assessment of the rut in the oil sector.

In his assessment of President Jonathan’s performance, Prof. West said that, “President Jonathan’s performance is not just despicable, it is disgraceful.” He insinuated that a head of state prostrated in front of his ministers was as good as finished.

As Minister of Mines Power and Steel under General Ibrahim Babangida, Prof. West was relived of his job and sentenced to life in prison for accepting a cup of coffee and a wrist watch from a company. He went to court and was acquitted of any wrong doing. During the interview, he told SaharaTV that State Security Agents broke into his house via the roof and took the watch. “I’m not blood-thirsty,” he said, “but all corrupt politicians must be killed. When you shot a few of them, others will learn a lesson and they will behave.”

Quoting Shehu Musa, Prof. West said that, “In Nigeria, it is not that the officials are corrupt, it is that corruption is official.”

I believe he feels he should be the number one Ijaw man, otherwise why is he suddenly so loud and always talking about peoples degree's not being up to his own these days? Instead, he is losing the little respect he still had. Its saddening.

The emptiness of Okonjo has been exposed by her second coming,I really want to know what she was doing ( her role) at the World bank,seriously.Baba Obasanjo probably saw that shes basically empty and transferred her from Finance to another gloried ministerial position grin.
About 2nd class,School grade sometimes doesn't fully measure people's capacity.
Re: Ngozi Okonjo-iweala Must Resign – Prof. Tam David West by Demdem(m): 3:44pm On Feb 05, 2012
I think i am with Tam David on this. Iweala is overblown even more than she looks. The Professor has nothing to gain. The old man is 75years old and about to die. Events during this fuel subsidy probe has made me to re-consider my stance about if Fuel subsidy exist in the first place.

U categorically said she is empty.
Go back and listen,read and watch her actions/role and assertions during the subsidy protests.I believe strongly,no accomplished professional would do all she did;flimsy and unsubstantiated excuses,inability to reconcile figures and assertions made.
So relative to what we were made to believe about her,yes she's empty.

Wheres Oby Esekwesili? shes a pro. wink

Unfortunately, i still have some level of faith in the judiciary. Bankole's case is still ongoing and efcc has promised to appeal. Till then he is unfortunately innocent.

Open another thread and lets thrash this out. Out of order here.
