The Silence Of A Supposed Friend During Despair by BrBakreez(op): 9:38am On Dec 12, 2015
For sometime I have been reading different transactions in
the ONSA and how Ngozi Okonjo Iweala helped in making
some transfer to that office, I still keep asking whether that
is the proper procedure? Whether such could be argued to
be legal or otherwise? Whether she could have done
otherwise and possibly resigned? Whether she mislead the
then President while trying to wash her hands? NOI is a very
smart economist who tried to remain clean in the entire
transaction yet still got it quite wrong. No doubt ,Former
President Jonathan is not an expert in money transactions
despite his quite intimidating profiles, and from all I have
been reading I can say that in my opinion he does not
understand the nittygritty of the workings of government
even though he has spent so much time in government
house, hence his associates whom he trusted capitalised on
it and ostracised smart men like Obasanjo from him. I am
not making case for him because he could still be held for
complicity in the entire transaction, what I am saying is that
NOI who had seen that she cannot stop corruption by giving
the right advice could have resigned, travelled out of the
country and revealed all that we are seeing long before now
after taking another job with an American firm. I am so sad
now to see that all her sayings that we had a fine and
working economy were all lies, it was an abuse of our
intelligence as Nigerians, she lied to us that nothing is wrong
with our governance by still holding office as Minister of
Finance, she could have tell the then President in simple
words that she cannot continue with what was happening.
The silence of our friends will be long remembered during
our time of despair but with the recent series of revelations I always want to ask if Ngozi Okonjo Iweala is truly a friend of
her dear country whose development she was entrusted
with as Minister of Finance. All I will say as a true Nigerian is
let the investigation continue, we need more revelations,
speedy prosecution and conviction in case anyone of them
is guilty, we want refund and long term sentence for each
and everyone of them. We need some persons to be used as
scapegoats for other to learn that they must always fear the
consequences of their action and not necessarily the man at
the helms of affairs since another man can still come to
check the wrongs of those who are there today.

Ngozi was emotional because of Jonathan being a south south man like herself. She knew what was right but she could not enforce it because of sentiments.

Also Ngozi loves power and fame more than money. Under Jonathan she was very powerful. because of that she allow jonathan men like Dasuki to go away with many things just 4 her to maintain her power. She knew d money were diverted to campaign. She pretended not to know. Since with Jonathan as president , she will continue to be powerful.

Ngozi most likely did not steal. But she saw people stealing and pretended not to know.
