[size=15pt]Brace for tougher times ahead, Okonjo-Iweala tells Nigerians[/size] -NOV 2014

THE AIM OF DIGGING UP THIS ARTICLE:

Pleae note: Madam Okonjor made this assertions in November 2014.

1. This is to remind the Wailing Wailers who keep attacking the current minister of Finance that the ex Finance Minister whom they so much believe in and whom they believe would have been a messiah sounded the alarm of a very tough economy ahead even when oil was still as high as 76usd per barrel. Do I need to remind anyone the price of oil per barrel now?

2. The ex Minister of Finance only saw a need to block revenue leakages when Oil prices started dropping low. Was any action taken after her suggestion? No!!! Rather, despite the dwindling oil prices, CBN became am ATM to allies of the president, where raw Dollars/Naira where withdrawn/tansferred under the guise of phantom projects, bogus subsidy claims, arms procurements. Etc. Now we are suffering of dollar crunch.

Who came on board to block the leakages? The new Sheriff off course, President Buhari.

3. If at $76/per barrel, Madam Okonjor was already ringing bells, why do the Wailing Wailers expect a booming economy from a government which is less than a year in office, and currently selling oil at $28 per barrel? Rather than wailing, they should rather support the government in steps taken to move Nigeria forward.

4. Madam Okonjor needs to explain to Nigerians why Nigeria was not saving for the dry season when oil was sold well above $100 per barrel. What happened to all the revenues generated when oil was booming? We only had booming economy on papers, ordinary Nigerians never felt a booming economy under her watch.

To the Wailing Wailers:

President Buhari have succeeded in blocking a lot of revenue leakages, and is driving seriously for non oil revenue generations as it is evident in the changes made in the Nigeria Customs, FIRS, and the appointment of learned scholar Dr. kayode Fayemi as the minister of Solid minerals.Etc

We have also seen efforts to recover stolen money even though some term it political witch hunting. The almost dead EFCC whose duty was reduced to chasing Internet fraudsters popularly known as Yahoo boys have suddenly rosen up to their responsibilities. Fraudsters like Olisah Metuh, Dansuki and the likes are already feeling the heat.

Efforts to recover stollen money is also a form of blocking revenue leakages.

The fact remains that APC led government can not correct the 16 years rot of PDP in less than a year and it is illogical to blame the current economic woes on the newly elected president. Only the blind will not see President Buhari is really working to make Nigeria great again.

SO FAR SO GOOD, PRESIDENT BUHARI IS PERFORMING ECONOMIC MIRACLES, HE HAS NOT EVEN BORROWED TO PAY ANY SALARIES

God bless the Federal Rubublic of Nigeria

NB: I am a die hard APC supporter with No Apologies!!!!

GreatAgb:
This is an indication of the cluelessness of the present FG. Even before they got to power, the were aware of the tough times aheaD. They promised change. They came into power and yet the impact is growing by the day. What buffers have this govt put in place as sugGested by NOI?

On the economy, this govt has since slipped from grade D to E and are precariously at the edge of slipping to an epic Fail.

raayah:
Nov 2014 was already too late to make this statement.

omoekiti6:
sometimes i think some people's brain would fetch a hansome price if it were to be put up for sale buh sometimes when i check their name i do rest my case imagine when someone name is INCORRECT1 what do you expect from them anyways i ain't disappionted only a fool would think 16years of faileur can be corrected in less than a year or was ROME built in a day

DelGardo:
Which particular policies are you disappointed with? As for Soludo and Sanusi all I have heard from them are not as horrible as you make it sound. You have to look at the intentions of government first and judge also their drive towards that intention.

A policy (like ban on importation , certain items) will affect some people but will be in the longer term interest of a greater number of the people. In other words we cannot have a perfect policy.

Naira will slide even if you hand this country to Obama. Because our source of revenue is oil, which is going southwards.

We have heard the Economist, Bloomberg et al suggesting that Buhari should allow Naira to fall as low as it can. Is that the sort of policy you want Buhari to adopt? If so you will be disappointed because he is not likely to do that.

AlPeter:
you call yourself a lover of truth and here you are standing truth on it's head. You obviously didn't Read the Link you provided. Let me help you the governors took the FG to court due to what they referred to as 'excessive illegal deductions from the excess crude account' aka PILFERING aka STEALING. And more than half of these governors were from the PDP. NEXT excuse

koboko69:
Clown...can you substantiate this your claims or u think we are having a beee parlour gist here?
What is real an authentic is that the Buffon openned the gates to our Commonwealth popularly known as Yams to.goats just for his 2nd term agenda.....

You can not deny that fact can you buffon?

madridsta007:
The 'illegal deductions from the Excess Crude Account' was the argument they used in the court.

tinkinjow:
Please APC's useful idi0ts should let us here word.
Proudly 5%
It's said that u don't debate with useful idi0ts so i won't bother.

noblegrex:
see man,I don't know but whatever you called yourself or whoever you said you're I'm telling you categorically and basically that I don't know you but May almighty God BLESS YOU.infact I don't know what to say.for once I see someone with my reason.chai see ehnm.May your days be long.owww..chai,I mean, you're blessed. Infact just one gallon of palmwine and bush meat for you.ise eeeeee

AlPeter:
which means stealing. Imagine the governors accusing NOI of such an offense and she couldn't come up with any reasonable defense rather than we need to save. If we need to save why was she putting her hand in the money illegally. What's even more annoying is some ill informed folks using the same silly argument in a discussion.

Onyiridike:
Could you please explain in detail the job responsibilities of a finance minister?

You sound as if NOI was the president.

Let me educate you a bit; Anambra state government followed Okonjo's suggestions and just recently they increased worker's salary by 15% while other states are borrowing money to pay salary. Also, Anambra has enough money that can sustain the state for 4 years.

Could you please tell us what your NOI-walla-be (Kemi Adeosun) is doing concerning our economy?

Has she said anything or done anything?

Of course, she cannot offer us what she does not have.

Kenobus:
you don't know what you are saying. NOI did a lot to block loop holes by implementing various automation for payment at the ports and MDAs, she raised non oil export collections to almost 50%. Go and check. Even Richard Quest of CNN acknowledged NOI as the best.

koboko69:
Dear mynd44 lalasticlala and seun. Wailiing Wailers in not an abuse or insult and have been officially used by renowned writers and even the presidents media aide and have been published on news papers.

I am simply reminding with wailing wailers/ipob that their goddess was already making noise even when oil was still $75 per barrel and she specifically noted we were going to start feeling drop in oil prices NOV 2014. Oil have been dropping ever since then....hence Magician Buhari needs to be given more time

raayah:
Nov 2014 was already too late to make this statement.

thenewsman:
The move is certain to further shock the nation’s already shaky financial system.
The governors of the 36 states of the federation have opposed the implementation of the Sovereign Wealth Fund, declaring it illegal two months after the bill was passed into law.

The governors, who opposed the bill during passage, made this known in a communiqué issued after a meeting on Sunday in Abuja. They urged the federal government to suspend the implementation of the Act until since the new legislation breaches existing laws.

Rolings:
Yes they promised change and are giving change. Though NOI suggested blocking revenue leakages as far back as 2014 neither she nor GEJ made any moves to block the leakages but PMB has done that..... that is change.
Asking what buffer has been out in place? Let the budget get passed and you will see.
Liar the economy is doing fine unlike other nations that depend on oil like Nigeria , just ask Google.
