Yeye woman and clueless master..
Arrangee award...
Pieces of shyte...
You call Ur mother's age mate 'yeye',yet I am sure Ur own mother isn't qualified to wash her toilet.
If U remove bigotry from Ur head,U'll realise this woman and d outgoing govt fought corruption more than any other past govt,forget abt d showmanship and partisanship during Obj's regime.
Google s IPPIS Payment system wc has eliminated ghost workers and prevented ppl from collecting double salaries.
Read abt d e-wallet fertiliser scheme wc make sure farmers vet their fertiliser directly and has eliminated d fertiliser cartel and ppl who used to sell govt fertiliser in d market.
When last did U hear of ppl who got contracts,collected mobilisation fee and took off?This is b/c contract award now follows a stringent process wc makes it impossible to take off wt govt money as usual.
This is called systematic fight for corruption not Obj's show wt EFCC where only his political opponents are gone after.
The rest of d work in fighting corruption rests wt EFCC, Police and d Judiciary.Okonjo Iweala cannot do her work and do theirs too.

Ntoo she is internationlly recognised. What did you get?
Anyone who says she buys Yale honour is making a mistake. She has been weighed internationally and she is found to be corrupt free. Don't know what Soludo and others who hate her will be doing at the moment. Congrats ma'am.

She still has to help Nigeria recover the loot of the recent past, by helping to uncover it. Otherwise, how would she be happy with this kind of honour (for fighting corruption) after being the coordinating minister in a regime alleged to be the most corrupt in Nigeria's history?

nigeria under Gej moved from 2nd most corrupt to 39 under ur most sincere nigerian the 1st obj nigeria dey carry 1st and 2nd abi you memory dey fail you

I honestly do not know if those that offered the award to her have in depth understanding of what it means to fight corruption in the developing world. The madam minister can talk about billions of Naira saved through some procedural changes in ways government do its business but those gains were easily eaten up by myriads of other mismanagement (allegedly) seen in the public sphere. The oil subsidy scams running into trillions of Naira under her watchful eyes as de-facto Prime Minister (named Coordinating Minister of the Economy), missing billions of dollars from the treasury of government due to non remittance of incomes by the Government owned corporation under her watch and that of her colleague oil Minister Madam and various grafts exposed in the outgoing regime.
If she had performed this way in the United States would Yale celebrate her this way? By this it is easy for us to accept that the first world countries encourage graft and mediocrity in Africa and are not in a hurry to see the continent develop. This is a country where 7 out of every 10 able and agile workforce do not have profitable employment and over 40% depend on relatives, a country where parents still provide feeding for 30 years old graduate degree holders and public domestic debts almost tripled in five years in spite of oil income that ran into several billion dollars without any infrastructural progress to show for it. If what Okonjo did is what American Universities teach(I know that's not true anyway) then Nigeria had better look for graduates from local institutions to fix its problems. I think Yale, a prestigious University, ran into a colossal error over this action. I simply delete this school from my likes without wait.

Tell them they are either fools or they made a mistake.

They will give you an audience; they might withdraw the award or confirm it and educate you on their reasons.

This is why she is a corrupt free woman. She is in that position for all Nigerians not to help Ogwashiukwu. Our problem in this country is tribalism, ethnicity and nepotism. Help ur people and forget other Nigerians. Mr Ogwashi, Nigeria is a country not a village.

thanks bro if only the ppl can see the conspiracy against gej just for personal gains even some foreign interests gej was not the very best but was way better than the whole conspiring lot put together in one mould yes he made his own mistake obviously and in every aspect of life's endeavour all men make thier own mistakes. A line from the music UNCONDITIONAL LOVE READS, and i quote " don't try to change it will tear ur brother down, let him make his mistakes and he will come around" obj try to use gej to correct his mistakes in office by blowing gej's own out of proportion. Read the content of his open letter you will see he's guilty of every dot of that letter. My case is rested

Google will be your best friend to find Yale University. At the bottom of the site you will see contact us, then start your writing to the management.

Please do not forget to use Lai Mohmed and popular phrase

4. Colossal corruption.

"The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy was asked a question by a ThisDay Newspaper reporter at an interview less than two years ago that “madam, why is it that the cost of funds is well over 20 per cent? And the Minister of Finance, this so-called exalted personality in the area of economics management said, “ In fact that has been bothering me, I don’t really know, it is something that I must discuss with the banks.” If she did not know after she had been there for a long time, is it the question by the reporter that has now prompted her interest, When she knows that no economy can thrive or succeed when cost of funds to the real sector is over 20 per cent?"

"No economy can also succeed, especially with a population like ours, when the ratio between recurrent and capital expenditure has even risen from 70:30 the last time she was there to a recurrent of over 90 percent now. "

BTW, Henry Boyo is a renowned economist, and as far as the Nigerian economy is concerned, very few are in his league, definitely not some NOI.

From paying salaries from our earned income to borrowing from IMF to pay salaries of politrickians like her.
