Go and ask Oga Jona

idiota read my post well before u reply me. CNBC tweet that called her the "1st African Woman VP" (not just treasury) is still up. Their clarifications between her appointment and Oby's former position is still up too. So CNBC are ignoramuses also

I only posted to show why they are correct in their assertion.

Why dont u read between the lines instead of coming at me with a daft rebuttal.

Read between what lines?... So in your wild imagination, you think the person handling the twitter account of CNBC is a god that is incapable of making mistakes?.... this 5 page long thread is populated with people who claim Oby is wrong but the fact is that the tweet by CNBC is very misleading.

Even in the main article (for those who bother to read), CNBC clarifies that Oteh is first African VP for treasury while Oby was VP for African region...

Several people have even pasted the organogram of the world bank for people like you to see but yet you in your great wisdom, you are still adamant that the twitter handler of CNBC Africa is a god that is infallible. But you believe instantly that Oby who was a former executive in the organisation is an idiot that doesnt know what a VP of WB means?

Please please and please, kindly go and read the main article by CNBC so you dont contunue making a fool of yourself in public. Good day!

Happiness87:
you claim the reason they are no Fg project s in Rivers is because they were fighting, list Fg projects in ss/SE states that had good relationship with him.

Is it English language that is difficult for some people to understand?... Now this is the last I will say this, GEJ said the people of states where the governors are fighting him should not expect FG presence. Those were the words of GEJ made in public and not my words. I dont know what all these your explanations about SS and SE have to do with this statement made by GEJ in port harcourt.

hinwazaka:
Perm secs who do not have the authority to demand for a clear and precise financial blueprint on how the funds will be disbursed
Perm secs who can not track the trail of the funds from the Federation account to the respective accounts of the states and then to whatever expenditure be it capital or recurrent:most of this governors make capital expenditure their cornerstone due to the ambiguity of expenditure.
Perm secs who can be clever with creative accounting when there is no one to monitor them, the Gowon administration was plagued with such scandals.
There is need for proper protocols and procedures so that when you fall, you don't fall on your face
FYI: Ngozi will show you pretty soon why you need a minister when she is asked to. She has her numbers intact, her only error was breaking protocol not financial impropriety

And in the absence of a finance minister and with the full backing and authority of the president, you still think the perm sec cannot act as the minister for these few months?....

Happiness87:
name one federal government project in Akwa Ibom state, taking into consideration that Gej and Akpabio were on good terms.


your write up is trash.

neither do you have ideas on how contract are given out.

I was simply comparing the the statements of both presidents. GEJ carried out no FG projects in Rivers and he proudly boasted to the amazement of every sensible human that he carried out no FG projects because Amaechi was fighting him. What does what the ex-president said have to do with your Akwaibom story?

hinwazaka:
No need arguing the schematics, you will witness the drama soon enough. In your understanding of procedure the anaesthetist should conduct a brain transplant without the neurosurgeon present

The presidency has made it known that he would be appointing ministers in September after processes, procedures and leak-tight systems have been built. You should understand that no major policy would be implemented before then except for the routine exercises. Going by your analogy, the surgery isnt going to be done until the neuro surgeon arrives. What's too much to understand in that?

ElekeNtioba:
get this straight.....Arunma is the FIRST AFRICAN WOMAN to occupy a World Bank VP position dat is not strictly for Africans. Oby's former office is always designated for Africans bt no African woman has ever occupied any other position apart from dat.

That is what CNBC is trying to pass to ur daft APC brain.

Isnt it just funny when a daft person keeps insulting others of being daft?

Has any of you ignoramuses bothered to even read the CNBC report?http://www.cnbcafrica.com/news/western-africa/2015/07/24/arunmaoteh-vp-worldbank/

CNBC has only reported that Oteh is the first African to occupy the VP (Treasury) position. CNBC has also stated it clearly in their report that Oteh isnt the first African world bank VP.

A lot of ignoramuses have simply read a 50 character tweeted headline and concluded to 5 pages of exposing their ignorance. God help my people!

tafrica:
Why do you feel pained more than the bereaved. Read well and see that I didn't attack Oby. she first refuted CNBC's claim but they counter-claimed her, one expected her to come up with her own claims again.
Take a chill pill and don't frustrate life out of yourself because of OBY vs CNBC.

Yes I am pained, but it's not because of Oby or CNBC. Rather I am pained because of the 5 pages on this thread filled with ignorant people. Sometimes I am tempted to think some of these people here just fake the ignorance as a form of political game. But something in me keeps telling me otherwise, the people making these comments are actually ignorant. That is very depressing to know.

hinwazaka:
This is a mistake by the APC government. The disbursement and allocation of funds between the parastatals of government without the oversight and guidance of a minister of finance is ludicrous. The advisors of PMB are either blind or outright corrupt. This are the wounds that will hurt in the future. The same participants in this largese sharing will later on draw out their knifes and stab him like senators did to Julius Caesar. Remember Chaucer's Canterbury tales.This is the time to be smart and not the time to be grand

What do you think you are talking about?.... What oversight can a minister provide that the permanent secretary of the ministry who has worked as a deputy to several finance ministers not provide?

If there is anything you should be noticing about this new government, then it should be the transparency and accountability which PMB is instilling in the system by ensuring that the public is informed of all incoming and outgoing funds.

Up until now, the former finance is still running around in circles trying to explain how ECA funds were spent with only an alleged secret approval by the president alone.

Rose2014:
Just imagine for a minute, that a president from a civilized country makes such an unguarded statement. He fit don resign by now out of shame but that can never happen in Nigeria

Thank God it's on video, else they would have already denied it. Now Adesina is busy working hard at damage control as usual.
Chai I don't envy his job at all

The statement was uncalled for but it was just a honest statement. Every leader does that in every part of the world. Besides, PMB said it will only be "in some areas" but that he would develop every area of the nation as required by the constitution. You should go and listen to the whole video instead of listening to only the sentence you want to hear.

For instance, it is only a dolt that would expect political positions to be shared equally across all regions.

Even the Jonathan that you people support made a much more crude and senseless statement in Portharcourt during the campaigns. He said states where the governors dont support him should not expect FG presence and projects. This was said in Rivers State where the citizens gave GEJ almost 100% of their votes yet GEJ starved millions of Rivers' indigenes of development because he had a disagrrement with 1 man (Amaechi).

Jorussia:
I having been following the comments of people here,who are criticising PMB ,for saying that in some issues he won't treat regions that gave him over 95% and those that give less than 7% in the last poll equally.I must confess that i have been very disappointed at such comments,because they have not been so far based on reality. Let's face reality, there is no way,you will expect the SE and SW to enjoy the same level of federal presence in both appointment and infrastructures in the current administration. It will be a political suicide for pmb to ever contemplate spreading developmental projects across all regions he equally.It will very unwise for pmb to favour regions/ states that give him minimal or no support during the last elections over those that him maximum support. In adminstration of GEJ,the sw didn't enjoy the same federal presence as with the SE,because they didn't support PDP.As somebody from Edo state, it,will be unfair for any other state in the South south, to get more federal presence than us in dis govt, because we supported both APC and PMB,more than any other state in the region in d last poll.Let me conclude by asking,If God himself has favourite among his children, who is PMB not to have his favourite among his regions and states?

It is only a foolish person that would be expecting PMB to treat each region equally in all areas. PMB made it clear that 'in some issues', areas that did not support him should not expect the same treatment as areas that supported him.

For instance, only a dolt would expect PMB to share political appointments equally. It doesnt work that way in any part of the world.

tafrica:
I think CNBC won this arguement, one would expect madam Oby to again refute CNBC's claim that Oby was just VP of african region and not VP of world bank, but she didn't. Guess she realised she lost the arguement.
Anyway, she shouldn't have replied that tweet or should have done better than saying "Google is a friend" wasn't too classy in my opinion.

What kind of ignorance are you people wven displaying here?... So because Oby decided to ignore an ignorant response from the CNBC twitter handler, you have concluded that she is wrong?

If I may ask, what is your level of education?.... If you can browse nairaland, then I'm sure you are computer literate and can simply take 5 minutes to check the world bank organogram on its website. Stop making a fool of yourselves with this arguments.

barcanista:
No Sir, NOI was a former Managing Director of WB. Her position was senior to that of Oby and Otteh. Only the President was higher than her when she was there.

Ngozi was once the vice president and corperate secretary of the world bank. How does it matter if her position was higher or lower than Oby or Oteh in this matter?

The CNBC was simply wrong by tweeting that Oteh is the FIRST african world bank VP. This matter is as simple as ABC but politics, ethnicity, hatred and all the other typical nigerian vices has blocked the reasoning of many to the point that we start arguing like infants.

Forwetinnah:
That advice should go to Oby..she's just not hateful but UGLY

Are you aware your hatred for Oby has just forced you to be an ignoramus this early saturday morning?.... Visit the world bank website now and you would realise that Oby was right afterall. Even NOI was also a world bank VP at some point.

omoakin111:
The aftermath of the visit of President Muhammadu Buhari to the United States recently would not be forgotten so soon as the President, while speaking to a group of Nigerians in Washington D.C, mistakenly mentioned that the school girls kidnapped last year in Chibok local government in Borno state, were abducted from “their hotels” instead of “their hostels”.

READ ALSO: Buhari Restricts His Wife From Using Presidential Jet

While speaking at the United States, National institute of Peace, Buhari said: In the face of abduction of innocent school girls from their hotels, indiscriminate bombings of civilians in markets and places of worship, our forces have remained largely impotent, because they do not possess the appropriate weapons and technology which we could have had.

Buhari has made several slips in the past, some of which include calling his own party, All Nigerian People’s Congress, referring to his vice as, Yemi Osibande instead of Yemi Osinbajo. Also during his trip to Germany, Nigerian president referred to the Chancellor of Germany, Angela Merkel as President Mishelle and called her country West Germany.

It would be recalled that President of the United States, Barrack Obama also Goofed during the meeting with the Nigerian President, saying Nigeria is a country in East Africa.

Another rubbish reasoning.... what's the difference between 'hotel' and 'hostel' in Buhari's accent?

Oh ye wailers, why dont you guys jump into a well and let Nigeria move forward?

hollandis:
In spite of the gross upon gross of deaths by the ISLAMIC sect ,Nigerians are still saying sai baba .You guys have voted in an antichrist you just dont know yet

Please before you comment .I want to know your age,so I can know whether its a general disease in Nigeria or its age speecific

If Buhari is an antichrist, then your jonathan is the devil himself... nothing can ever be worse than Jonathan in terms of leadership... every single problem we face today in Nigeria is still an offshoot of Jonathan's incompetence, misrule and indiscretions.

illiad:
Sure I would have placed myself in their shoes had they also placed themselves in other peoples shoes when they were all busy murdering strangers who came to their lands believing its all one Nigeria, not knowing they could be killed for as little as mistaken a paper inscribed with Arabic words.

Such barbarity.

Are you aware the north easterners are not involved in the barbarism you refer to and have hitherto been quite warm and welcoming?.... or probably in your ignorance, you have just assumed everybody in the north is the same?

Now the guava bellied man has no more excuses of distractions to fulfil his mandate

sauceEEP:
I've been wondering, why is barcanister always referred to as a protection seeker? Is anyone/group after him?

Hahaha...
I will try to answer this question...

Barcanista was previously the head of the APC e-rats on Nairaland up until a week to the general elections when he shockingly decamped to PDP. Before his decamping, he secretly solicited some form of 'protection' (wages) from APC card carrying members who were active on Nairaland for his stellar efforts in promoting the course of the APC and also tearing the PDP apart. His pleas for pecuniary protection could not be granted because it seemed he approached the wrong people.

Fast forward to a week before general elections, in the strangest and most shocking manner ever imagined, he publicly decamped to the PDP and started glorifying the same GEJ and PDP he had successfully torn to pieces in the past 12 months. His case was even more worrisome considering the fact that he didn't see a need to at least change his Nairaland moniker. From all indications, he seemed to have gotten the much sought 'protection' from the PDP, hence his switch. In anger and disgust, some APC Nairalanders exposed his secret letters where he was soliciting protection, hence his new found title, "the protection seeker."

By the way, the dude seems to be jobless because when he was in the APC, he was virtually the head of the APC Nairaland e-rats, today he's in the PDP and serves in the exact same capacity.

NATIONAL EMBARRASSMENT......!
Obama Travels To Kenya, Leaving Buhari Behind In US.
President Obama has left the US to travel to Kenya for his African tour that will take him to Ethiopia also, leaving the Nigerian President, Maj Gen Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) in the US.
International Diplomats were not perplexed about this unusual development, as they are aware that Buhari's visit was planned at his instance, through Mr David Axellrod (Obama's former Campaign manager) and this overlapped Obama's long scheduled African tour.
Buhari's visit was described by the US Foreign office as a private visit and not an official one and there is no way it will interfere with Obama's official program.
The Nigerian President will not be coming back with any documented agreement with the US pledging any help on the Nigerian economy or the war on terror, implying that this N2.2billion tour succeeded in achieving nothing for Nigeria and is now another wasted journey.

I really feel pity for you guys.

Hmm...ok!
Cool! At least he invented something!

But as an Inventor, I'd like to ask him about the benefits of what he did? Who needs hot water on a sunny day?

Looking at it from another angle, it could be used as a water purifyer but at 75 degrees? I don't think the water is boiled enough to kill its germs.

But hey! Its a good one from the student, We start from somewhere and grow to become even better, but we have to tackle life problems with our inventions...that's what makes a good inventor.

This is not an invention, I remember a mech engr project group doing the exact same project 10 years ago when I graduated from FUTO.

The newly formed (post GEJ election loss) PDP imitation of Saharareporters.

They are already showing their true colours; if e no be panadol, it can never be the same as panadol.

The GEJ/PDP trains have just derailed like their oga ontop

...and this is what people point out as the reason behind the monumental nosedive of the nations financial resources.

The Igbo proponents of the new secessionist move are mainly those who supported GEJ in the last election

The Igbo opponents of the recent secession are those few Igbos who did not support GEJ.

However you look at it, this whole Biafra rant is just a protest against GEJ losing the election.

Elose11:
President Buhari has told the whole world that he cannot appoint ministers until he has completely rescued Nigeria from corruption and the Boko haram insulgency. In other words by september, when he would have appointed his ministers, corruption and Boko haram issues would have been tackled. Long live our president. Our long awaited 'redeemer'! The only key that can lock the nation's doors against coruption, insulgency, militancy, indiscipline, etc.
carry go sir! We are behind you. All hail the KING!

PMB did not say that... he did not say he would ens corruption and insecurity by September. I dont understand the kind of comprehension abilities some people have.

Flets:
Can you explicitly enlighten me on this ongoing purging and why September is the deadline for all the purging activities? i don't want hear-say..... what is ongoing in the ministries now?

I am not the president and neither are you. The president says he is carrying out the much needed purging in the system and he hopes to complete that before he appoints any ministers. I totally trust the person of PMB on this one so I have decided be patient. I also urge you to be patient or else, I advise you direct your enquiries about the 'whys' and the 'whens' to the presidency.

It is absolute stupidity to justify the delay in appointing ministers by referencing the Obama administration who had no cabinet members for several months.
Even without a president, the USA will function because they have strong institutions and systems. The president only makes modifications to these systems to make them better. Unfortunately, everything grinds to a halt in Nigeria at every change of government because the systems are non-existent or not strong enough. That is why we cannot apply same policies in both cases.
The US dollar cannot depreciate the way the naira has done in the past six weeks because of absence of US cabinet members because the institutions are strong and semi-autonomous.
Before September, Dollar will be selling for 500naira. And then, even the best of heads as Finance minister will have a herculean task in his or her hands. Some sectors of the Nigerian society can wait for September but definitely not the economy.

President Buhari has just given a very clear explanation as to why he will not be in a hurry to appoint ministers no matter what his detractors or what anyone thinks; ministries have to be purged of leaking holes and the strong institutions which you reference the US as having would have to be created in Nigeria FIRST before he appoints ministers. What is too much to understand in that?...

Of what use is it to hurriedly appoint ministers and then the 'business as usual' of monumental lootocracy continues?... I and everyone else who voted Buhari voted him to do things differently. If one of the differences involves carrying out a thorough purging of the system and strengthening the institutions FIRSTLY, then so be it. I also want those ministers to be appointed, but Buhari is the president and I am very confident he knows what he is doing.

As for the concerns of things getting more and more difficult due to the delays, I am sure you read the final sentence where he says “Have patience. All things become difficult before they become easy.”

alfred5:
I don't talk with poooo since you don't know that every governor have official photographer.... Apart from that, key persons were mention. Those were unannounce.

Ezi Bida!!!!

I asked you to proof yourself not to be a nincompoop by naming the freaking unannounced persons you and your ilk have conjured in your imaginations.

Buhari tells you he is going to the US with 33 persons which includes his son and his personal photographer, you in your imaginations have conjured that all the governors would likely also carry their own photographers and probably, their personal cooks. So how is that a crime of Buhari?
