what's wrong with putting nigerians in the place? na america get afdb? they say most of the senior staffs are french. I dont know how we allow these foreigners to run the afdb. i know, the answer is simple. because the other african countries are dullards and dummies. the trick america use is to make the allegations public so to force adesina to step aside. read his responses on the link in page 1. too much dirty politics at play in the afdb. they want to fire dis, fire dat. here are some from page 54:

So you have a situation of a very flawed investigation, with too many hidden agendas
and inconsistencies and a conspiracy to find Mr. Lufumpa guilty at all costs, when
the evidence just does not add up to reach the required burden of proof. With these
inconsistencies and malicious intentes, it was obvious to me this was a witch hund clad
in investigation garments. Management cleard Mr. Lufumpa of the allegations and wrote him
a letter of apology on October 1 2019

Heathrow44:
Oga only a one count charge if driven home is enough t kick his ass of the office.. That place is not Nigeria where leaders re tight fisted t relinquish power. Anybody supporting this man with d weight of evidence against him does not have any moral standard and character

he should not resign i read his responses on saharareporters. they are just jealous of him. the only issue i have is with hiring his friend oladokun.

Heathrow44:
Never liked the guy for anything he thinks the AFDB is Nigeria where any impunity & nepotism is swept under the carpet with this 16 count allegation if found guilty he should be made to face d full grunt of d law, extradited to the US and charged.. Of Course his entitled to his lawyer and his rights would be upheld always when necessary...

Best thing : Resign but rather than a typical Nigerian to resign they hold power but it's d US we re talking abut here, Mr. Man commit from there

PS all this people shouting the US wants him out so d can control d organization are seriously bad people, always turning a blind eye to an obvious injustice going on, whether he is a Nigerian or not I'm not going to condole or overlook his allegations, we must be transparent, accountable and law abiding...

Justice must be served ! Or simply Resign!


The problem of Nigeria are the citizens not the government(Savage)

hes up for reelection. our chances may be gone then!

Goke7:
oga, they want adeshina out simple as nobody holy pass, other african nations are just eyeing the seat to do theirs as well, get the drift. There is no fair hearing anywhere in this world, if you are strong to be stopped, they simply dig out your dirt and you are out. This is the painful part to see a diligent Nigerian no longer heading a prestigious body like afdb and watch out how Nigeria will be disadvantaged when the guy is finally out. This is our pain. Let's not be too legalistic

others wll fill the void. they are waiting like predators. america can increase its share assuming it is not restricted.
i mean it is the 2nd largest shareholder. how did we allow it to happen? shame on all african governments

Exc2000:
should they muscle him out.. Nigeria their main market for loan customers with loan secuirity from petrocrude dollars would simply pull out

how much we contribute? give us top 5 donors

SmartyPants:
Nigeria is the largest shareholder in the AfDB

that of promoting himself is nonsense. largarde did the same at the imf. she was everywhere.

its not funny. its boardroom politics. dey want him out!! hes ruining their cake.

Exc2000:
just imagine the timing of them requesting a probe for allegation that happened some a year some two years back.. funny people.. thank God Huwei's fight and 5G fight is giving some more people to fight rather than succumb to American and western Supremacy

they are only there because they want to control afdb like now!!!

JuanDeDios:
Fair question. Because we need the money? The 27 non-Afrircan members are all rich countries and aren't beneficiaries of the bank - only African countries are. But I think you can raise this as a separate question, that is, separate from the issue on ground - that Dr Adeshina allegedly abused his position by "violating ethical guidelines in the recruitment and promotion of staff, disrespected internal probationary rules, condoned sexual harassment by his protégé, recruited unqualified staff, favouritism, duplicated company roles and probably wasted banks funds on unproductive concerns." (Thanks for the summary, emkz.)

they are saying the man is nepotic. you know, the main problem is we've sold afdb to the foreigners otherwise they'll have no voice. i didnt realise the situation was like this. we sell,sell,sell.

Obamaofusa:
Those allegations are very flimsy.I am sure that America has its candidate but was disappointed that Adeshina had it so easy going for second term.

Adeshina will overcome.

just look at the salaries of these people. they are humongous

i think he will resign

Incandescent:
It's a sad situation. I pray Adesina is exonerated

booksize allegation. everything is image. the moment everyone/leaders on the continent read it, adesina go resign himself. the french and americans know what dey are doing,. dey waited for the right time like hunters

Exc2000:
a good product markets its self.. he doesn't even require a solicitor,.. let them prove there allegations if any.. facts and not heresay wishy washy, he already got cleared by the first panelist, the second would be piece of pie

.

dont worry. afdb is now americadb

Incandescent:
Africa is f*ed . Until we stop receiving funding from these "saviors", we can't say we are free.

you can serve as his solicitor and defend him in the boardroom.

Exc2000:
he was the first man to eliminate fraud in the delivery of fertilizers.. a scam orchestrated and benefited by politicians and civil servants for years.. it was through him that farmers got their fertilizers directly from the government without middle men, and folowup system where developed using SMS

during Adesina's tenure as the Agro Minister, planting went on during the dry season due to his provision for irrigation farming, dredging and canal water ways... I as aperson remembered fully buying fresh maize in the dry season and commending him

so you steal from wiki instead of giving me hard evidence!!!! i dey wait, show me his achievement as agric minister. how many relatives you know benefit??

lhurd:
WIKIPEDIA Adesina was the Nigerian Agriculture Minister from 2010 to 2015.[7] Adesina was named Forbes African Man of the Year for his reform of Nigerian ag:riculture. He introduced more transparency into the fertiliser supply chain. He also said that he would give away mobile phones to farmers but this proved too difficult. One of the reasons was the lack of a mobile network in country areas.[8]

then he should not step down.
can he or can he not your argument go lose power now.

Exc2000:
Carefully note the words, phrases or clauses I highlighted in bold format

"The following cases are listed in no particular order, and state how we think the Code of Conduct might have been breached. In some of these cases, the conflicts of interest may be hard to prove , but we wish to recall that the Code of Conduct calls for the avoidance not only of actual conflicts of interest, but also of the appearance of such a conflict.

The Trump government alluded to the fact that (a) the conflicts of interest may be hard to prove .... (b) but we wish to recall that the Code of Conduct calls [b] for the avoidance not only of actual conflicts of interest, but also of the appearance of such a conflict. Just like the case of W.H.O and the harrasement of the Boss cos he is from Ethopia and he accepts donation from Ethopia, disregarding useless noisy racist America and their media propaganda.. Adesina is being harassed with allegation they claim are hard to prove in fact non existing.. just 5 months to his re-election

Trump already lost Africa to china and they (Racist Americans) are just fighting a lost battle

this is the main problem. why we allow foreign shareholders. america is second shareholder after nigeria, so they have voice to ask him to step down.

FieldMarshall06:
The foreigners are shareholders. They are part owners of the bank. So they are within their right to demand accountability.

He should step aside for an independent probe. If clean, he would return. But he should only step aside after he gets the second term.

Am disappointed in him. Where do the allegations come from?

nonsense. when dey want you out of office. dey go throw book size allegation against you. you think he can clear himself of all these 20 allegations ??

Exc2000:
as long as AFDB would nominate the independence auditors and panelist, or the Stakeholders country I see him winning all this lightweight unprovabe allegation or he would simply head to court.. the plan raising this allegation is only to ruffle him up for his re election..

Imagine allegation such as clearing someone alleged of sexual harassment... not that he sexually harassed anyone , but he authourized the resumption of a staff who was alleged of sexual harassment during a time he was off duty and not active on duty for weeks... what exactly would this offense result into ?

or the Allegation that his childhood friend (relying on old picture) unduely benefited from a contract... Now the panelist would have an heculian task to prove his so called childhood friend wasn't qualified for such contracts, or else both adesina and the friend has the right to put up some litigation

another one that caught my eye is the allegation bothering on grants giving to IITA and another Nigerian based multinational agricultural institute, for a fact that Nigeria is over 200m, and sub Saharan Africa is 1billion people, Nigeria ordinarily stands at 1 : 5 to Africa, Africa's GDP stands at $2.5trillion while Nigeria's GDp alone accounts for $450bn USD that's 1:6 of Africa GDP as a Banker which country would you ordinarily consider for loans? even Chinese EXIM bank and IMF considers Nigeria greatly over other African countries... and the onus is on them to prove Adesina of having giving unmerited grant to IITA a multinational company

what achievements as agric minister show us the farming revolution. i really dont like the foreign intervention in afdb, but we've sold it.

lhurd:
You go mind them. The man's achievements during his tenure of Federal Minister of Agriculture and Consequent achievements as Afdb president speaks volumes. Are the allegations true, I can't say, if true, a warning is fair enough.

we sell our souls. we sell afdb . now foreigners are everywhere dictating how afdb should be ran

we sell our souls. we sell afdb . now foreigners are everywhere dictating how afdb should be ran

we sell our souls. we sell afdb . now foreigners are everywhere dictating how afdb should be ran

who are you? they'll get him out. buhari will be asked to get a replacement in. the problem is we allowed all these foreign countries as shareholders. afdb is using foreigner's monies

Exc2000:
No wonder he was cleared by the board... all this allegation are watery and cant stand

get all the foreigners way from afdb !!!!!

dont worry someone is waiting to takeover. hhahaha

seunmsg:
The US is not the biggest shareholder in AfDB but the biggest non-African shareholder. Nigeria is the largest shareholder of the bank. https://www.afdb.org/en/news-and-events/nigeria-consolidates-position-as-african-development-banks-largest-shareholder-17755

The US is muzzling Adesina and there is really little or nothing that African leaders can do about it. Nordic nations that pledged to provide more funding for the bank are now in bed with US. Adesina may not survive this attack if the US continue this pressure. He will be sacrificed by African leaders.

Hopefully, the independent investigation will truly be independent. That way, Adesina has nothing to fear.

you see buhari dey sleep why america dey bully its way into afdb. can you believe this

why cant dey write a book about this?? wetin concern america with afdb buhari just dey sleep. i like kapoor. i mean he dey collect 23,000 usd as a consultant monthly

play well and you will do well! the quality of his goals matter. only with them and he has scored 4 goals. good.!!!!

the govt should strictly follow secular guidelines. you wan practice your religion, fund it yourself. criminals using govt money for their personal projects

you see how these criminals dey use peoples money as dey like. 4.5 million for fruit assortment. wetin be dat so you buy oranges for 4 million. hahahahahahahh

i was not annoyed
we are just providing opinions. i think china is catching up to the West. they want to be the centre of the world again like in history. and even the centre of all diseases

Alex9999:
I didn't insult them, my brother. I was comparing them to the West. I said the West does not have chicken seller and drivers in Africa. We are a long way from the Chinese. They have always been a big culture, just had some setback and are now back. Cool?

whats wrong with this? listen man, go sleep
