dgitrader: Sanusi Lamido defends Okonjo-Iweala in Washington over allegations of tribalism



by Solomon Osadolo

At a media chat in Washington DC on Sunday by the Nigeria Economic Team, the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi forcefully condemned the allegations by some Northern politicians, that the minister of finance, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, is pursuing an ethnic agenda

This is what Sanusi Lamido Sanusi had to say;

”I cant understand these people, I was the one who came to Washington DC and got in touch with Mustapher Chike-Obi who was in New York to come and head AMCON. I took it upon myself to search for him because when we were at Kings College he was one of the most brilliant chaps that school has ever produced and while at Goldman Sachs, he excelled. He is world class, so I decided to bring him back to use his wealth of experience in Investment Banking to serve his fatherland. Ngozi has nothing to do with this.

“On Kingsley Muoghalu who is one of my Deputies at CBN. I also went to London to poach him, the guy is good,he knows his onions, and I don’t care which part of Nigeria he comes from. This was done even before Ngozi joined the government, so how can she be responsible for this.

“Nigeria is becoming such an interesting place that anything anyone does, must have an ethnic colouration or a hidden ethnic agenda. People do not understand what diversity means.”

On her part, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala said that of all those appointments they are accusing her of influencing, only two was approved during her tenure as Finance Minister, others have either been appointed or has the process of their approval endorsed by the government before she joined this government. And on those two that were approved, the process were handled by the respective Permanent Secretaries on the order of the President.

On the sacking of the NEMA spokesperson who was used to start all this, she said she has no hand in that. That there are standing civil service rules every civil servant must abide with and you don’t work for government and at the same time using your position to attack the same government openly when there are available channels to address your misgivings.

According to her, Shuaibu’s superiors simply followed laid down rules, a comment that former Minister of Finance and presently Nigeria’s Executive Director at the World Bank, Mansur Mukthar agreed with.

Well done job SLS. He only every other Nigerian can follow what u av just done, i tell u, Nigeria will b better than USA. Unfortunately tribalism is eating deep into the nation. Those that suppose to fight it are championgog it. IF AS A NATION, TRIBALISM DOES NOT ALLOW US TO MOVE FOREWARE, I DONT THINK WHEN DIVIDED WE CAN STILL MOVE. LETS DESTROY TRIBALISM B4 IT DESTROYS US. 1 NIGERIA.

peekayo: Shame on the minister as well, the earlier people in authority learn to tolerate criticism the better.

.
So she has to tolerate what led to the sack Oduah. Even Gen Paul Dike was also facing the same problem because he effected promotions on nothing but merit.
The person equally needs to be charged for such a misleading write up so that others have to learn from him.

If we av 10 Oshomoles in this country, all these political God father's activities should have been curtailed.

Demdem: Shut up, buhari said no such thing and that makes ur assumption null and void. It was Atiku, another killer member who stated such. Get ur facts right.

.
Dnt b silly. Never u ever use that word shut up 4 m again. I hate abusive words. Buhari said that he will make Nigeria ungovernable 4 Gej.

So u ar among the people fighting public power supply in this country?

Dangote wants to b the world richest man at the expense of common Nigerian. A bag of cement was #450.00 when he entered into cement business. 2day it is almost #2000.00 per bag. A loaf of bread was about #80.00 when he entered into floor business, 2day its about #220.00 per load. A bag of rice was about #3,000.00 when he became the sole importer, the price is now about #12,000.00 per bag. Even when Gej wanted 2 reduce the prices of these items 4 common man, they made sure that he could not. Now he is about going into oil sector, immidiately he succeeds in monopolizing the sector, a litre of petrol will become #500.00 and Faminte will emerge the world richest man. Then a drop of taxi wil become #300.00. But i know that he can never succeed in doing that.

pheesayor: Liar

.
BUHARI PROMISED TO MAKE NIGERIA UNGOVERNABLE 4 GEJ. THAT IS WHY IT IS ASSUMED THAT BUHARI IS THE HEAD OF BH. And he is among the first set of people to demand amnesty for bh.

ballabriggs: What legitimate jobs now, how much taxes have they paid on these income? Do you sort their finance with them?

So how come you have concluded that all is well with the donation? We talk of skepticism in audit i.e You work with the mindset that there is a material error or omission before you conclude before that the transaction is true and fair.

.
That does not make the donors the federal govt.

U are derailing this issue. The point is that Gej is not the one that purchased the jet for Oritsejafor. U can go to the church for the account details of the donors. CASE CLOSED.

funnyx: Nothing but scaremongering he'll issue a curse? Does he has monopoly of issuing curses

.
Unless u dont understand what i mean. Look at the number of abusive words directed to Oritsejafor because of this post. Assuming it is a truth, he may keep mute: but this one is a naked lie to the best of my knowledge. No matter how controvercial Oritsejafor night appear, he is still a man of God and God honours his words. Besides, there is no proof of Gej purchasing the jet. Im not scaring any1.

ballabriggs: Who is that guy, how much taxes does he pay? What is the source of his money? In a working country these are the questions they ask.

.
U expect me to start advertising people's names here. They are doing legitimately well it their own fields. I only want to make it clear that cpc is a bunch of liars.

ballabriggs: Orisha-gear-four received a gift of over $20 million.

In a working country that is a taxable benefit with tax implications for Orisha. In a working country compliance and investigation officers would have attempted to trace the source of the funds. Is anyone hiding and criminally acquired funds?

But not in my naija, Orisha a known ganja man is still flying around unquestioned.

Mind you Rotimi has not stated explicitly that it was purchased by the FG. What I can read from the statement is that the transaction is very suspicious and rightly so!

How easy is it for a group of hardworking people to give a gift of over $20 million to an individual?

.
Mind what u write against the man of God. This post is a lie. If Oritsejafor issues a curse against those propagating this false news against him, they are doomed. IT IS HIS CHURCH MEMBERS THAT CONTRIBUTED THE MONEY 4 THE JET. This rumour is baseless..

I personally know some members of Word Of Life church that bought the jet. Gej does not even know when the jet was purchased. He only graced Papa Ayo's 40th year anniversary ceremony as a pastor which was also used to present the jet. This cpc or what do u call them are not just fighting Gej again, but Nigeria. They have failed.

But I said a BIG na lie.....its being broke the roots of all kind of evil...

Love of money means when one is willing to do anything to get money, even if it means to kill someone.

Mark it, Buhari can never rule this nation again (unless a divided Nigeria that is northern part which will not still be possibl). He has slaughtered his chances on the altar of ethnicity and religious consciousness. Someone that made the statement that is assumed 2 have given rise to bh. He equally told his supposed running mate (Tunde Bakare) in the last presidential election to sign his resignation letter b4 the election. This shows that he is bent on islamising this nation. Or what do u think.

My bro u ve written well. More ink 2 ur pen. Let the Nairalanders equally stop all forms of wars going on in this forum. Let this forum be used to preach the gospel of peace. @op ps this post should go 2 front page please.

Amaechi should get ready 4 impeachment. State governors have succeeded in sweeping local govt chairmanship position under the carpet under Amaechi's leadership of governors' forum. Yet they are always holding the presidency to ransome.

There is nothing wrong in him owning a private jet.

It is an open secret. He cannot deny it. He promised of making Nigeria uninterocble for Gej. Unfortunately, he can never smell the presidential seat again.

U are not successful in life until u are maritally successful. Divorce is not equally an option. The devil u know is better than angels u dont know. Having observed the problem critically, i think they ought to look for a better solution instead of breaking his home. God can right every wrong in that marriage if it is taken to him. I wish then the best.

If it is 4 him 2 increase the price of petroleum products like cement, flour and its byproducts, salt(which he claims contains vitamin A where it doesnt) , then the refinery will never see the light of the day. I stand to b criticised, but he has succeeded in using the federal govt to close many potential companies through his monopolistic approach. He even went to the extent of challenging the court ruling for Ibeto Cement to be compensated for undue delay of the raw materials for wears. And i believe that he(Dangote) must be the brain behind the undue delay. Please Naija dont rejoice, because it is another avenue of introducing unnecessary inflation. And i repeat if it is for inflation to set in, mark it the refinery will never be completed. Enough of this amassing of wealth through making life difficult for Nigerians.

rman: No operator will allow you call another network with bonus airtime.

Where is the interconnect fee going to come from?

Etisalat is good in extending bonuses to other networks. At times, they allow u to use a half of the bonus for on net and the other for general.

I remember heard that billions of Naira was budgeted 4 the victims. I also know that those of them that went to the refugee camps provided by the government were adequately taken care of feeding wise which is commendable
Oweing to the fact that most of then lost virtually all their means of livelihood. Name them, farmlands, poultry/livestock farms, business outfits, machines [motor vehicles, motorcycles(okada) generators, working tools and implements etc] schools, churches, buildings, and other things that could not be mentioned.
I think that it is the right thing for the government to make sure that this people are reestablished. And this should be done by providing them with a reasonable financial base. Or are we to believe that the billions of Naira provided were all used up within the two months spent in the camp? Even if it was used up, something could still be done to reduce the effect on the people. I learnt that those who camped in Oharisi Primary School, Ughelli in Delta state were given a token of about three thousand Naira to transport them back home. But what could a person that has lost virtually everything that he/she lived on do with this?
The ticket and numbers given to the victims while evacuating them from the villages which i believe is supposed to be used to access aids has not been used even after about five months since they left the refugee camps. I want Nairalanders who have knowledge to please inform us. I stand to be corrected as i am not Mr I-Know-It-All. I rest my case for now.

[quote author=overkill®]Enough of these gifts already.
Opportunity comes but once. Nobody could av remembered them if they didnt win the trophy .

Congratulations SOK.

Mtn is just a bottomless pit. It is the network that charged fifty Naira per minute in this country. The way they have made money in this country, i expect their tariff to be the cheapest. If they are opportuned, they will pict pocket Nigerians.
