honestly, i think its time for igbo elites to re-orientate their tribes men and remind them that civil war ended more than 43 years ago. why is it that anybody against GMB is from Igbo? please dont quote me wrong, this is not the time of ethnic politics.

Are they not the same ? Bad blood gene flows in all of them.

ThisMeansWAR:
the obo wey you dey wakiri Don chop your common sense finish

Hahaha, hilarious..

superstar1:
Who cares about your opinion?

You think this president is a clueless one?

You are has inconsequential as your opinion.

He has moved the Command Centre (not DHQ) to Maiduguri, which is the proper thing to do, if you do not like it, issue your usual lame ultimatum or head to ICC.

I thought you are a Biafraudian, why stress yourself about Nigerian issues?

May you be eternally blessed.

suwailad:
Ifeduba or what you call yourself, you still have a lot to learn being a political scientist. I think you have no qualification for that, just that you have access to the internet so you can make noise like everyone else. That does not make you a political analyst, political analysts is an actual profession and not an hubby.

Political analysts take their time to access information in depth before making their analysis and not beer parlor suggestions. By the way, did you even give a solution on how to combat boko haram once and for all? But noise makers like you, the ever annoying arm chair critics are quick to judge any postulations put forth that will defeat these fools once and for all, but you guys don't have the brilliancy to come up with your solution to counter the President's own. We have had enough of this folly, and thank God it died with jonathan. So its time to shut up and start making sense not showing your worthless hobby and what it means not to be a political analyst. And your picture is eating people's bandwidth, it is not necessary, if you want to be in the limelight, start trekking for whatever hideous reasons there is.

Bravo.

Bombard the other candidates with the failed policies of Akinwumi and the govt he served in, so that they have the ammunition to campaign against him.

Re: ''igbos Are Reactive Cowards''- Igbo Man by Francis5: 1:40am
Another reason to not vote for Akinwumi: the person in charge of the AfDB voting process is a Yoruba. His name is C. Akintomide (email: c.akintomide@afdb.org). For neutrality, the Africa must be made to know that a Yoruba cannot be allowed to conduct an election in which another Yoruba is a candidate. It will be rigged like any election in Nigeria will be rigged. Please send the message across to other candidates. Akinwumi must be disqualified.

With Adesina's victory what next for you bigot, hate campaigner and serial looser ? If you had any shame you should commit suicide because you are a worthless entity, an offspring of the biblical Cain.

#francis5, what option is left for you, suicide ? But dont take it because you are gonna witness more of this to your sorrow so you know that whom the Lord has blessed nobody should curse. You are the Balak of Nigeria.

Yorubbish:
Oh!
Stroke killed your father, my condolences!
And the hbp is hereditary in your mother's lineage, oh such a miserable fate.

Thank God that is what awaits you and future generations. You missed it completely because both my parents are alive and kicking in the UK. You shall suffer the fate of Haman.

omazus:
all
And what is the difference. One came from the other and both have over bloated sense of virtue.

What an irony.

Redoil:
yoloba people were the ones protesting like spoilt child. Since adeshina is a yoloba man then methink their is no need to cry.

Eccentric product.

teufelein:
lets hope he's not a typical yorobberman - light finger, u know what i mean!?

.


What type of fingers do Stella Odua, Diezani and NOI have, heavy ones ? No wonder they steal big. Jealousy kills.

omazus:
You failed it bro by bringing Okonjo Iweala into this. Akinwumi worked but truth be told he did nothing in my region, South East, at least. But that is not enough for me to neglect his achievement in other places. If Okonjo Iweala's people are like your people they would have protested and fought tooth and nail that he wont emerge. So judge for yourself the difference.

Are you from Mars or Neptune ? An slowpoke going by the moniker " francis5 " instigated an online campaign listing the other contenders as well as details of AfDB asking Igbos to send petitions to the latter not to appoint Adesina because he is Yoruba. Dont pretend you dont know just because the conspiracy has failed woefully.

Yorubbish:
Yeah



Only a yoruba can be sane afterall



Others are insane






Just like to the mad man





Everyone else is insane
Save himself.

You just exposed your frustration. After hbp comes stroke so beware.

oluwatomisin93:

babyfaceafrica:
Good new for all Nigerians....I hope some people will not cry

They are already crying.

ChimaAdeoye:
Congrats Dr. Adesina!
You deserve it! I am so proud of you and had prayed that you get selected for the good of Nigeria and Africa.

I am not a tribalist that will start an online application against you simply because you are Yoruba and served under GEJ.

Nigerians like you make me proud even though i am not originally a yoruba.
Some Nigerians with tribalistic mindset like those in saharareporter make one to literally hate fellow Nigerians.

People like one that uses "francis5" as his moniker on nairaland. He has licked the dust and made to cover his face in shame, if he has any.

AfricanGod2:
My point is that Oshiomole's letter is simply slander and politics. It has valid points here and there but the more I read the more it seemed like Oshiomole feels Okonjo Iweala is responsible for everything in Nigeria, from prevention of oil theft to controlling the exchange rate and safe guarding pensioners. She is not. Oshiomole is playing this blame game now knowing fully well that his state is going to experience a cash crunch like every other state in Nigeria, and his people may be affected, and they may blame him for it. When that time comes he wants to be able to say that he told you so, he told you Okonjo was mismanaging our resources but you didn't listen. Absolute politics.

A real governor should worry about the future of his state. If he knows an individual is at at fault and he has evidence of wrong doing he should quietly take it up with the EFCC for them to worry about, then continue with his state's business. Basically, if this were not mere politics the heading should be something like:

-Financial corruption: Oshiomole and EFCC expose ECA and SWF mismanagement.
-Okonjo Iweala indicted for financial mismanagement.

until then it's all politics and Nigerians keep falling for it.

Am sorry to say but you are intellectualy deficient and suffer from emotional sickness. Your posts are just not worth reading.

omonnakoda:
Your exact words are that she is a "world renowned economist". Now to the best of my knowledge she is not an economics scholar and has not held a job as an "economist" so what was the theatre where this renown was garnered

Graduating magna cum laude from Harvard has nothing to do with professional credibility . One is about "ACADEMIC" ability and nothing to do with integrity which is what credibility is all about. One is historical and the other is contemporary . That you have an IQ of 200 is irrelevant to ability to DO A JOB
I think your point about the National Economic council is meaningless.The council exists and is mandated by the constitution.
H - National Economic Council

18. The National Economic Council shall comprise the following members -

(a) the Vice-President who shall be the Chairman;

(b) the Governor of each State of the Federation; and

(c) the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria established under the Central Bank of Nigeria Decree 1991 or any enactment replacing that Decree.

19. The National Economic Council shall have power to advise the President concerning the economic affairs of the Federation, and in particular on measures necessary for the co-ordination of the economic planning efforts or economic programmes of the various Governments of the Federation.

Coordination between the states and FG relates most importantly to transferring payments from the Federation account.This should be done by the CBN and NOT the Minister of Finance.The PDP distorted this





The Minister of Finance is not supposed to be there by the constitution but became involved when the government started flouting the constitution so do not distort facts or history.The constitution does not allow the operation of the so called Excess Crude Account and if this account was not being operated then there should be no need for the Minister of Finance to attend rather it is the CBN governor that should. What should happen is government sells oil and collects other receipts directly into the Federation account and makes deductions for debts/guaranteed loans and remit the difference. But because of FG high handedness this arrangement came about so to say she has no responsibility to the governors is absurd. If you are ignorant find out the history of how many times the governors have taken the FG to court to release their money and how this funny arrangement came into being. The FG WITHHOLDS their money illegally and this would have been settled long ago but for PDP manouevres. Otherwise the courtd would enforce the constitution and the money will come to the governors from the CBN directly without touching her hands

#omonnakoda, please stop dignifying this man's trash. Ability to write english does not necessarily guarantee sound reasoning. Thanks.

AfricanGod2:
“Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala is a heroine not just of Nigeria, but of the entire continent. Her crusade against corruption has put her life at risk.” — The Independent (UK)

People become renowned for things other than scholarly articles, and someone who graduated magna cum laude from Harvard has no business being mentioned in a discussion about her professional credibility.




Let me refresh your memory regarding the constitutional "responsibilities" of Dr Okonjo Iweala.

The Federal Executive Council

According to the constitution.
"The Cabinet of Nigeria is the Executive Branch of the Government of Nigeria. The Cabinet members are appointed by the President and report to the President. The Cabinet oversees 19 Federal Ministries, each responsible for some aspect of providing government services, as well as a number of parastatals (government-owned corporations)."

Dr Ngozi Okonjo Iweala is a member of the FEC and so is not answerable to Adams Oshiomle or any other governor, and as a member of the FEC she is not expected to prepare or give slide presentations to any governors.

She is also a member of the NEC, however the NEC is not a body she is mandated to attend by the Constitution. It is more or less an advisory body and a means to foster communication between the states and the federal government, but this is what things have been like since 2014:

"The National Economic Council is one of the federal executive councils designed to serve as a clearing house for economic issues between the states and the federal government. Even as strategic as this body is, of recent, it's been submerged in politics, as its monthly meeting has not held since August 2013 following the division of the Nigeria Governors' Forum.
How do we rescue this body from the quagmire of politics in view of its importance.
Join us at 1pm on Focus Nigeria." - AIT

Now tell me why a lady with so little time will waste it on preparing "slides" and "lessons" for a council of members that won't even attend meetings.

Finally, you mentioned something about state governors asking for their state's money and mentioned that Okonjo is not superior to governors.
I just want to say that I agree she should give an account of the handling of Nigeria's finances, but constitutionally she has no responsibility to give this account to governors. Moreover governor's, who supposedly have superior authority to the finance minister are too subject to the minister's decisions to be really considered superior.
The fact is that until governors can't do without relying on the hard work of the federal government vis-à-vis revenue from federal agencies then they should shut the hell up and stop complaining. So far it's only the likes of Oshiomle and Amaechi who can't pay salaries that are complaining.

Absolute trash.

omonnakoda:
What exactly is the source of her renown as an economist.Can you mention one publication that justifies such high praise.I am not aware of any scholars referencing her as a scholar in any reputable journals. She was an administrator at the World Bank not an "economist" .
The source of her "power" was her position not her person. Her position as Finance Minister. A power she has used destructively over the last 4 years like an out of control wild forest fire.

She works for Nigerians and part of her role as finance minister is to attend the NEC. She is accountable to the NEC

I do not understand what you mean by "stoop" ,A pilot in a plane has a responsibility to tell all passengers why the plane is vibrating or losing altitude .It is called responsibility. Her position is one of public service ,she is a public servant and some of her duties are statutory,they are mandated by law and do not amount to doing anyone a favour.In fact failure to perform statutory functions is criminal.
What is troubling is that citizens still reason in such a subservient way. She is not an elected official but a mere appointee and is not in any way superior to an elected governor who is asking for an account of his state's money that she has responsibility for transferring to him

Some citizens reason in subservient way because responsibility and accountability are alien to them. They would rather celebrate criminals and fraudsters. The other day an organ representing them asked Gej to release Rev King the murderer. That should tell you their warped sense of reasoning.

AfricanGod2:
First of all, thank you for summarizing.
Second of all if what you've written is correct then you're being unreasonable.

third: Okonjo is a world renowned economist, she is the 48 most powerful woman in the world according to Times and she has immensely more credibility in her profession than the governor calling her a paper economist. In fact the Oshiomle is the quack between the two of them.

Fourth: All this stuff about attending meetings with governors and giving governors slide presentations is so absurd I can't believe someone who claims to be a governor is not ashamed to mention them.
Okonjo works for the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. She does not work for ANY governor and is NOT ANSWERABLE to ANY governor. The man, and any other governor that expected her to stoop to a level less than that of a commissioner for them is silly, lazy, incompetent and does not deserve the title governor. He should go hire a competent commissioner of finance and face the business of govenoring his state!

Only in Nigeria do state "governors" go to the federal government begging like paupers. Only in Nigeria do the finances of states depend so much on the performance of the federal minister of finance. And ONLY in Nigeria do state governors complain like babies when the said minister does not have time for them.

You are begging and dodging the issue like a fool. Not all are fools. Your rant is meant for those who celebrate criminals. The world's most powerful woman can go to jail so when your no 48 goes to jail, it wont be news.

Waspy:
After reading this, I shake my head for Nigeria not just for the state she is but for her pple who majorly seem to be gullible and unreasonable.

A young man made public the petition to compel Yale to withdraw the honorary degree conferred on her on change.com and before you say Jack, some folks turned it to tribal witch hunting, just as with Stella Oduah, just as they ever will.

NOI shld be held responsible and answerable for the current stuporous state of the nation, alongside her clueless master.

Nigeria would be better off without gullible ilks and sentimental slowpokes.

Yes they turned that patriotic petition into tribal umbrage not knowing that that single young man is worth more that thousands of them. He towers above them in intelligence and common sense. On hindsight, i suspect she may have paid Yale university for that award in order to launder her worthless image knowing full well that the institution is for the highest bidder and lacks integrity.

FastShipping:
I read everything from top to bottom. Ngozi Okonjo Iweala must be held responsible for the gross misconduct in the handling of our economy. She is just an economist on paper. She is grossly incompetent and corrupt. A situation where a minister of finance could not attend important meetings with the governors or giving the governors oral presentation on the state of the economy is a sign of incompetence and corruption. She has never presented the governors with facts written in black and white. From what Oshiomohle wrote, Okonjo Iweala has been avoiding the governors because she has been found wanting. Okonjo Iweala has been giving out waivers after waivers to importers. She has been depleting national treasury since the beginning of this administration. Ultimately, she has been spending and borrowing like a drunken sailor.

On the issue of oil theft, Jonathan and his cabals are responsible for that. How can oil theft be going on our waterways while Jonathan pays billions of naira to militants to secure the place?

Okonjo Iweale must be probed, interrogated and jailed for her gross misconduct.

May God bless you. Thanks.

How person when never chop won read this textbook

The next person should plz summarize for me


Thanks

The summary is that so-called dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala is a failure, incompetent, a fraud and a crook loved by her fellow criminals in whose blood crime traits flow. Thank God Oshiomole is not Yoruba. Over to the animals to run into her defence. They are a nauseating lot.

Mogidi:
On your way from Uromi to Ubiaja you will see a sign board saying "Welcome to Ubiaja, home of Peace"

It was donated by youth corpers years ago, their observation was apt, we are very peaceful and laid back.

But your posture on nairaland contradicts that. ?

Compound fools deceiving themselves. Recognition comes before opening of embassies and no european country will go against that rule. Again, its only Ibos affair with no representative of the country. Its a fraud. Considering the fact that Ibos are known for fraud, this comes as no surprise.

I keep on asking this question, What is yoruba and hausas seeing? Why yorubas and hausas dont want igbo seceed? What is hausas and yorubas gaining that they dont want igbos to have their own sovereign country?

I need answers

Because they benefit from treating you as 4th class citizen. Any more questions ?
