But I thought that IPOB's only supporters are "misguided youths" (according to Nairaland resident zone Bs)?

So said omenka aka omenkalives

sarrki:
Only God can forgive Jonah for what he did for our country

Ndigbo be like MTN, everywhere you go!

loopman:
Sunny, you no make an iota of sense.

OK.

loopman:
So you don't have face to face meetings with your bankers?
Are you sure you know how things are run ?
Every Igbo here claim being a successful business person, but comments like yours here clearly depicit a trader

Here he comes again with that outdated tune. You don't have to hold a face to face meeting with anybody mate. Stop living in the stone age.

In developed climes, banks are closing branches and concentrating on IT powered channels of transaction and you are here talking of meeting. If needs be, don't the banks have regional heads for crying out loud?

loopman:
I will ask you a very simply question, what infrastructure and logistics are present in igboland for nestoil, coscharis or even Capital oil to move to Anambra?
Even to hold an ordinary business meeting with HQ bank executives, they will need to fly down to Lagos?
Soludo is simply just doing the populist rubbish, we know it all has to do with 2019 elections. He was once the cbn governor, did he ever talk all these or make policies that can easily facilitate such?
I don't fancy pretentious people and soludo is sounding like one already

Who needs to fly to attend a business meeting in this age of conference calling? Smh

Sharming95:
who'll patronize em lyk d westerners.....


Na only lagos and Abj dem fit succeed....bcuz of d hatred ndigbo av 4 eachother wen one is succeeding dan d other.....

So you think it's the westerners that consume imports coming through Laos? Smh.

Most of the products imported into Nigeria head to the North and neighbouring west and central African countries. Most of my big time customers come from Niger, Chad and Mali.

This man go school so?

.

Check below for the answer to your question

I believe that God has a purpose and a plan for everyone. From my very humble beginnings, it is only through the grace of God that I could have earned a Distinction grade at the secondary school; a B.Sc (First Class Honours) (Economics); an M.Sc. and a Ph.D (Economics) winning Departmental, Faculty and University awards as best graduating student at the University of Nigeria. I had cumulative four years of post-doctoral training and research in some of the world’s best institutions including the Brookings Institution, Washington, DC; University of Oxford, UK; University of Warwick, UK; Cambridge University as Smuts scholar; UN Economic Commission for Africa; the IMF Research Department, etc. I am a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Bankers (FCIB); Fellow of the Nigerian Economic Society (FNES), and awarded Doctor of Science (D.Sc.) (Honoris Causa) from three Universities. 

I was visiting Associate Professor at Swarthmore College, USA, and promoted Professor of Economics at the age of 38 (University of Nigeria, Nsukka). I lived and worked in Ethiopia, U.K., and the USA and travelled to 45 other countries before joining Government in 2003. As consultant to 18 international organizations (including the World Bank, IMF, OECD Paris, European Union, African Union, USAID, UK-DFID, ADB, IBM Consulting, USA; IDRC Canada; Chemonics International, USA;  United Nations, UNIDO, ECOWAS, COMESA, CODESRIA, UNCTAD; AERC Nairobi) I garnered wide ranging experiences and knowledge. I was also the founding Executive Director of the African Institute for Applied Economics, Enugu. I have to my credit over 80 scholarly publications, 15 books, and over 250 monographs, conference papers and public lectures.

At the Federal Government (2003 – 2009), I held five substantive positions: Chief Economic Adviser to the President; Deputy Chairman/Chief Executive of the National Planning Commission (of ministerial rank by law); Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria; Chairman, Nigeria Security Printing and Minting Company (NSPM), Plc; Founder and Chairman, Africa Finance Corporation (AFC), as well as membership of more than 25 technical/policy committees. These assignments saw us draft the Government’s reform agenda (National Economic Empowerment and Development Strategy, NEEDS); massively restructured nonperforming government institutions; rebuilt the CBN and NSPM; revolutionalized the Nigerian banking/financial system; set up a new international financial institution, AFC, and helped to steer the Nigerian economy away from the global financial crisis. For these accomplishments, I have been decorated with scores of awards, including being awarded the African and Global Central Bank Governor of the year, 2006 by the Banker (Financial Times) and the Financial Times of London has described me as “a great reformer”. The Federal Government has conferred the third highest national honour (Commander of the Federal Republic, CFR) on me in 2006--- in recognition of accomplished performance.

Recently, I have served as a member of the United Nations Commission of Experts on the Global Economic and Financial Crisis. Also, I have served as a member of the International Advisory Group for the UK- DFID, and still member of the 7- man Chief Economist Advisory Council of the World Bank.  Immediately after completing my tenure of office as Governor of the Central Bank, I have accepted three international offers.

I served the Federal Government of Nigeria under two Presidents and below are excerpts of what each had to say about my services to Nigeria:

“Charles Soludo is a true Nigerian. He is the sort of Nigerian that we all know we can rely on. Among his numerous virtues is COURAGE. I have found in him a man who can take tough and realistic decisions, stand his ground, educate others on the salience of his decision, and work very hard to ensure that the decision is efficiently and effectively implemented. His dedication to duty is first rate. His leadership qualities are admirable and his willingness to listen and learn is simply infectious.
Professor Soludo has within a short time emerged as one of the leading lights of our nation. Not because he has a godfather but by sheer hard work, loyalty, dedication to duty, commitment to the nation, creativity, and undiluted association with the reform agenda, ”. Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, GCFR (December, 2004)

President Yar’Adua had the following the say about the CBN under my leadership:

“… the CBN has performed creditably well in delivering on its core mandates. This is especially even more so in the last five years. Most people would agree that without the successful banking consolidation and effective management of our foreign reserves, the current global crisis would have shaken the financial system and our national economy to their foundations with calamitous consequences”; President Yar’Adua (May 2009).

In the President’s letter of commendation after completion of my tenure of office, the President had the following to say:

“As your tenure as Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria comes to a glorious end, I write on behalf of the Government and people of Nigeria to place on record our debt of gratitude to you for your dedicated service and uncommon sense of duty over the past five years. I am confident that your worthy antecedents in the CBN and in prior appointments in the service of our nation remain sources of inspiration to an entire generation. As I wish you even more astounding successes in the years ahead, it is my fervent hope that you will readily avail us of your distinguished service when the need arises in the future” (June 2009).

The same people that will tell you to believe in Nigeria do not believe in it. That's why they ferry their children abroad and make sure they get them citizenship of week run countries.

On my way to site yesterday I picked this white vivo phone,latter around 12pm the owner of the phone(a lady) called and gave her address as omaba phase 2 onitsha.

Buhari probing himself?

What did he expect when he replaced the more popular candidate with a relatively unknown Fulani girl?

MReloaded:
If the person doing this is prosecuted now some coconut heads will start screaming witch hunt and what have you.

That is the norm in Northern Nigeria. Lots of mining going on with nothing going into the federation account.

These activities are not even hidden, they are done in the full glare of the public and law enforcement agents. Along the Potiskum - Fika -Gombe road, there are lots of mining activities going on there and they'd just pocket the money but keep their eyes on oil money.

Neoguru3:
Information as shared on nairaland of an intruder coming to contest as councilor should be stamped out before this evil seed germinate.

Let it be that I shouted for those who have ear to hear. There is no way that man should be allowed in any disguise to seat on that seat because if(even though I know he will not) he wins it will spell doom as he will import his fellow a.bokis from God know where to constitute cabinet scheming out the indigenous people.

For those that will say what of "Igbos" as elected as representative in other place in northern desert or south w.aste, please, vote them out we dont need such positions.

Nde dimkpa na si na ha ne ji ihe ha ne ji gba na nti na gba na anya.

Go and sit down bush man. He has the right to contest in Ebonyi state and as long as the people want him and vote for him, I have no problem with that.

ALAYORMII:

Nigeria changed to Naira and Kobo in 1973, how come?

El-Rufai media centre on overdrive.

ProfDumbledor:
As we anxiously await cabinet shake-up by PMB, here are candid recommendations for sack:

1.Yemi Adeosun: the worst ever minister of finance. Naive, clueless with a false sense of achievement.
2. CBN governor: confused, naive and incompetent
3. Fashola: too busy doing absolutely nothing. He doesn't have a clue at all. He should be stripped of power and housing ministries.
4. Yemi Osibanjo: Was amazed when he blamed forex crisis on corruption n pipeline vandalism. He doesn't have a clue about the economy and therefore should be removed as the head of the economic team. A more competent technocrat should be appointed.
5. Udo Udoma: a disaster and a square peg in a round hole. Shouldn't have any business with budget and national planning. Ben Akabueze should replace him.
6. Customs boss: a disgrace to customs. A man with an ethnic agenda.
7. DSS boss: another man with an ethnic agenda. DSS is now an enemy of the people.
8. Babachir Lawal: an arrogant, clueless and corrupt grass cutter.
9. Education minister: lol. A career accountant heading such an impotant sector. No wonder education in Nigeria is in coma.
10. Health minister: a reverred classroom professor but definitely incompetent in managing the health sector. Old, slow in action, divisive and unreceptive to new ideas.

Do you not know that Buhari lacks the powers to sack the CBN governor?

ObiOmaMu:
Things are getting messier for Apostle Johnson Suleman who is at the center of an adultery scandal. More people are coming out with alleged facts, some people who were standing by him are beginning to have doubts.

Lagos based author and publisher, Julius Michael who was standing by and defending the founder of Omega Power Ministries, just retracted his support and added his reasons.

He wrote:

"PUBLIC NOTICE!
"This is to withdraw my statement of support towards Apostle John Suleiman of Omega Church Ministry which is dated on the 6th of March, this month as against the claims of Ms Stephanie Otodo.

I have personally received a classify information about ungoldly activities of the said Mr Suleiman from a reliable source and how he partronise their hotel with one or two girls...

It has been a battle of conscience since three days ago whether to post this or not, but, as
someone who likes to always say the truth no matter whose ox is gored- it's on this note, I retract my innitial statement of support and solidarity- having been cleared to me that I gooved in my claims as a mortal man.
It is my prayer that God in His infinity mercy will broken the heart of Mr Suleiman and make him a born again Christian. If you love him, pray for him."

Part of the plot IMO

Leopantro:
thank God it is not Malaria and Typhoid. the Prof knows anaemia very well; it is rare in Nigeria




if you do nor appreciate sarcasm, you will not understand what I wrote.

Lol. If a Prof. If Medicine really stated it as reported then he should be thinking of retiring ASAP. That's if he hasn't already done so.

oxon:
you said there is nothing osibanjo has done? like seriously how much can a man do in 49 days ....we have seen people use a whole year just to pick members of a cabinet , it obvious you are not current , the forex policy that has brought the dollar down to almost 360 on the inter bank and 462 on the parallel market is nothing , I can mention a lot of things this man did in just 49days , plz na give credit were it's due

When did Osinbajo become the CBN governor and no the interbank rate hasn't gone down.

adioolayi:
Haba.....Osinbajo did nothing Fear God!

A logical thing to have done is to list a few things he achieved.
