Nice one. MC Oluomo oko iya Igbo Amaka People

Lol, Oko iya Chukwudi.

When they say ibos are industrious, you cannot be running after vehicles under hot sun selling gala and not be industrious. Being industrious simply means that they sabi labour work, no wonder dey carry yam leg. Even to dey chop strong akpu na labour work.
See how dem describe Yoruba as yoriyori people.

I checked CGD's official website and seems you're right.

Thanks for checking.

Your over reacted Okonjo -WaHALA has no benefit for Nigeria....except to go for international conference and meeting...where she is sure that TInubu will be there and beg to snap picture with some country 's president....then some of Nnnnnmyamiri never -do -well people will come to Nairaland and dump it here.....

Eni kuure

Lol, ask them to tell you how she has benefited the country since becoming DG WTO, i bet they won't be able to say anything tangible. We've seen Akinwumi Adeshina facilitate AFDB loans for Nigeria and delivered multi millionaire projects into the country. As DG WTO, what global trade has Okonjo facilitated to Nigeria?

Putindbutt:
Lol.. they made us believe that she cleared our debt. Ibos even praised her more than Obasanjo.

You'd think she was the President, they gave her all the accolades.

mrblessed:
Yes, Kemi Adeosun, the celebrated NYSC certificate forger did.

Kemi is far better than madam puff puff. Kemi gave bailouts to the states when they were all broke and she also brought us out of reccession. She stabilized the economy and never borrowed to pay salaries.

unbitchable:
Unbeliveable. What then was the contribution of Ngozi Okonjo.

Ngozi Okonjo Iweala only had to open our books so that the creditors know how much we had in our reserves.

nabiz:
your shameless country have accumulated another dept. When are you going to employ another researcher to negotiate for another dept relief. Mumu man from a shameless country.

Where do you put your brain?. After OBJ negotiated our debt relief, Okonjo Iweala came back during GEJ's Administration and began to accumulate a new piles of debts, she was borrowing to pay workers salary, yet Buhari came in and met an empty treasury because she and her cronies had looted our money through Dasuki. She's suppossed to be in jail. I hope Tinubu would ask her to go down on her knees and beg CGD to help us once again.

Ballmer:
That is the hypocrisy of the igbos you are seeing vividly. A finance minister in Nigeria de influence World Bank to do her bidding, I do not even understand the relationship.

The president is not giving the cr sit but a minister that was borrowing to pay salary is who went to write Nigeria debt off.

Me sef dey wonder o. They won't give credit to OBJ who put the resources together and paid the $18billion discounted amount BUT these clownish ipobs would rather give credit to Ngozi who did nothing than sat at the back seat during the negotiation.

HenryTimes:
Google Ngozi Okonlo-Iwela and her role in Nigeria's debt relief and see for yourself.

Ngozi is still alive, Obasanjo is still alive, you can visit them if you care to know more.

I have told you the role of CGD in Nigeria's debt relief, you can as well tell us the role of Okonjo Iweala in Nigeria's debt relief, aside taking glory for what she didn't derserve.

Putindbutt:
This news is a shocker to me.

Me too, i was reading up on Nigeria's debt profile and this information popped up. It is a big secret they've been hiding from us.

DatNiggaDaz:
Hatred & jealousy is an incurable disease

Hatred and jealousy for who?, for peasants?

HenryTimes:
Make una continue dey rewrite history, na una go tire.

Google CGD and their role in Nigeria's debt relief. The facts would stare you in the face.

After the meeting with Nancy, negotiation for debt relief began in 2005. CGD helped facilitate Nigeria's debt relief. The notion that Ngozi facilitated Nigeria's debt relief is wrong.

Fn- IDA stands for International Development Association which is part of World Bank, it is the major provider of funds towards economic and development projects in the world's poorest nations.

CONT;
HOW IT ALL STARTED:
CGD submitted a working paper TITLED; Debt treatment and World Bank Country Classification: The Case Of Nigeria. At the time, the World Bank had classified Nigeria as a "blend" country, making it the poorest countqy in the world that does not have "IDA-only" status. It went ahead to use the World Bank own IDA eligibility criteria to asses whether Nigeria has a case for reclassification.
The paper was able to prove based on key analysis Nigeria's eligibility for reclassification. It argued that Nigeria met the criteria for reclassification from being a "non IDA" status to an "IDA" status. The paper also questioned the criterion which appeared to have included three African comparator groups, including the IDA-only oil producer(Angola's status) which suggested that Nigeria was facing a double-standard.
It was this paper work that prompted the OBJ led FG into action. At the Davos World Economic Forum 2004, FG team led by NOI met with Nancy Birdsall, President CGD.

CONT;
(2). The negotiator's innovative ability to resolve Nigeria's debt through a discounted buyback.
This resulted in success and in June 2005, a change in status was announced which enabled Pari club negotiation to begin in earnest.
The efforts of CGD led by Todd Moss has been recognized by participants in the negotiations and by major media.
According to Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, she said" Your catalytic work and analysis made a difference.. especially the work of CGD in facilitating the reclassification of Nigeria as an IDA-only country as well as putting forward an innovative solution to the debt problem.
Also, ANN PETTIFOR, Co-founder, Jubilee 2000 and Director of Advocacy Information, said" CGD has played a critically important role.. i have it first hand from negotiators in the Paris club that it was the CGD concept of a buyback that was the tipping point that led creditors to agree debt relief for Nigeria. This is a great achievement for all concerned and in no small part due to the work of CGD"

With $36billion in external debt, 100million people living on less than a dollar a day, Nigeria should have been a strong candidate for debt relief programs. In early 2004, a US researcher, think-tank and negotiator known as Center for Global Develoment(CGD) began working on Nigeria's debt issues to provide analytical support to Nigeria's ongoing effforts to persuade its creditors to agree to an appropriate debt relief package.
In Oct. 2005, Nigeria and the Paris club announced a final agreement for debt relief worth $18billion and an overall reduction of Nigeria's debt stock by $30billion. The deal was completed on April 21, 2006 when Nigeria made its final payment and the books were cleared of any Paris club debt.
According to Todd Moss, the team leader for CGD who worked on Nigeria's debt talked about the two major factors that were involved; (1). the negotiators helped to reclassify Nigeria as an "IDA-only"country within the bank- a pre requisite for debt relief.

Melagros:
Let me tell you this, you may be a yoruba any day Fubara is removed from office by wike Nigeria must go broke, if you think ijaw/ militants will not go back to the creek you're delusional. For your information tampolo, eperipapa etc. Are on standby

Tompolo na our boy, e dey follow chop pipeline contract, Asari na our boy, the king of Gbaramatu na our padi, go and check how much Tinubu don budget for Amnesty, e heavy die. O'boy if you mistake enter creek, go touch prpeline, boys go chop your head, carry am show Tinubu for Abuja.

BeautifulMind2:
Useless blogger

Is Dailypost a blog?, are you normal?. Hunger is killing people of Anambra, go and give them your satelite pictures to eat it.

Whalis:
.

You don finish talk. You're from Rivers, let me ask, can Fubara mobilize his own grassroot structure to neutralize Wike?

Magnoliaa:
When you guys do this, or comment stuff like this, I honestly don't know what you're hoping to achieve.

What is the point?


So there is a direct correlation between discussions on social media and economic policies and variables that affect demand/supply market? If we don't talk about culture or social beliefs or gender relations, the rate of inflation and unemployment in Nigeria will reduce?

Would you prefer social media or even the Internet is banned, because that is the only way you can get people to stop talking onlinr at all, and when that is done, will that confer legitimacy on Tinubu's government or make him start making the right decisions that'll make Nigeria change for the good?

How many important things have you now been discussing and what has it achieved, not as it your moniker was even specifically tagged to come and comment on the thread?

Who needs legitimacy from bush rats when normal people had given legitimacy to Mr President.

Deadlytruth:
Thanks for reminding him. How can a sincere person put Obasanjo and the possession of conscience in the same sentence? A man with a conscience who ordered the killing of over 3000 innocent civilians in Odi and another 5,000 in Zakibiam. Nigerians just love political correctness.

OBJ is evil personified, he ordered those killings, went away without compensation and nobody held him by the throat. Compared with Kaduna bombing where verybody is pressing Tinubu's neck.
What's your perspective on River's saga?

Oakenshield:
Wike will be brought down. Una think say Amaechi,Odili, Jonathan and other silent men go allow woke misbehave

Remove Odili and Jonathan, they are in Wike's camp. Ameachi is irrelevant.

asiwaju60:
I believed they'll not impeach him but their aims is to box him in one corner and render him useless

I agree.

EngrKemp:
Its clear u r an element planted here to create enemies for fubara.

Pls people here should stop listening to this man and disregard his bigotry.
He aim is just to make fubara loose support and sympathy from Yorubas .

Fubara is a genttman who aspersions are to govrn the good people of Rivers state well.
The fight from Wike is selfish, unreasonable and unwarranted.

You don't know that guy?, he's a staunch PDP supporter. Adeleke is showing him shege in Osun.

ruggedtimi:
lies...tinubu lost ...bigtime.

Show your figures.

EngrKemp:
Be rest assured yhat fubara can't be impeached.

It is complicated but i know Wike is cooking.

asiwaju60:
Fubara isn't a politician that's the reason why is behaving like baby politician

Fubara first mistake was fighting is own political family, he should have keep those grass roots political leaders to is camp because they're even more important to him than wike, but no he was busy fighting everybody

Fashola was able to be in the good book of lagos State ACN political family as of than and safe him from Tinubu is hand.

Fubara took off bad, he was trying to dismantle the structures that worked for him in just three months. Someone is pushing Fubara.

basseeafricana:
To add to your analysis. Oshomonle issue happened because Buhari had a soft mind and only care for himself. Wike is a son of lion (Tinubu). Next election in Rivers must be blooded because Wike does not care about blood. Last time when trouble started at Rivers 's House, you saw the way security rough handled Fabura.

hmm, that was a good reminder, security pelted him with water canon, a Governor!. And for Buhari, he was too laid back, it always got too bad before he waded in.

10mobile:
How Tinubu take hook am?

Are you seriously asking me that question?
