RisingSun1: you are really NAΓVE aren't you? 1. okonjo has an international job as a way of thanking her for favors received from her while the prime minister in Nigeria, and I also suspect, for ruining our economy. 2. Under her watch Nigeria became the largest economy on PAPER. How many other large economies in the world do you know that runs on generators 3. under her watch, money, huge money, I mean gigantic sums of money developed legs and simply walked out of the nation's coffers via the CBN. |

DropShot: It is blind followership by people like you......and Oshiomhole too that has put Nigeria into this One Chance Bus till 2019! You call GEJ and NOI ineffectual buffons, but they both managed the economy better than the greenhorn your President gave us after many months of searching. a greenhorn who could not add up 16+6 to get the correct answer, but she wants to manage the Nigerian economy. |

Obiagelli: Did u read the post at all? He stated categorically, how Oshimole and fellow governors frustrated all effort to save through subsidy removal, creation of excess crude account and so on. The governors insisted on sharing any excess cash and even went to court. They blackmailed FG and short-changed Nigerians. How do you blame Iweala for lack of savings? She was not the president. She didn't have powers to enforce anything. She merely proposed or opposed. While she isn't perfect, everything Aribisala said about her and her tenure is true. If only GEJ had any ball, his govt would have achieved a lot with Iweala as finance minister. |

DropShot: This is how people lose their lives for nothing! Imagine betting with your life over somebody you've never seen before? I'm sure that was also how you bet for Buhari & APC before the elections, but now you're very disappointed and you should actually be ashamed that you were part of the people who elected a government that can't prepare an ordinary budget. Buhari is merely repeating history; he was in power in the 80's and the economy suffered, there were massive job losses, and many companies folded as a result of poor economic policies. you can google these facts for yourself. today, history is repeating itself after Nigerians like you voted in the current President. what is happening now is similar to what happened between 1983 - 1985. go and google the facts for yourself! FYI, I was born in the 1980's |

DropShot: I know you're a "wannabe adult", cos if you were a true adult, you should have known by now, that Nigeria is in crises and it is people like you that put us there! The GEJ you claimed spoilt Nigeria obviously managed the "spoilt" Nigeria far better than the "Messiah" President you elected now. Maybe your common sense will come alive when you start buying a satchet of pure water for N50. untill you wake up from your dream, keep believing that a clueless president will salvage your economy. |

Elosky20: Before I begin, point of correction, Oil benchmark used for budget is much lower than the actual cost of oil per barrel. Under Okonjo -Iweala, crude oil rose to between $140/barrel, $115/barrel, etc before it finally fell toward the end of GEJ tenure. Prices above the budget benchmark is kept in excess crude oil account (ECA). They spent all the huge money they made. What they left as reserve is not up to what they met. So I assume, the money presently in reserve is part of what OBJ government left in 2007. The wastage drew the anger of Prof Charles Soludo & some other well meaning economists while the foreign countries keep observation tabs. Prof Soludo & madam okonjo-Iweala exchanged words. Where in situation that demands for convocation of conference on existence of Nigeria beyond oil. Baba Adeboye told us early in the year that oil that fluctuates upward up to above $135/barrel now coming down to $40 and below means the economy is in problem but God will take us through. People complain about budget missing and being replaced. A budget that has not been passed and not even debated and senators know there is a problem. Even if it is replaced before it is debated does that bring in dollars or bring an alternative to dwindling oil revenue which financed almost 90% of the budget the previous years? Do they have any suggestion? The woman is a waster and a prodigal woman who was lucky to work under a president that attracts goodwill and supported by god of luck. She wasted money heavily under a high corrupt subsidy regime and vendatta tribal corruption. |

azzima: In case u need to know,Prior to her ministerial career in Nigeria, Okonjo-Iweala was vice-president and corporate secretary of the World Bank Group. Effective from 2007, she again became the managing director of the World Bank. In 2012, she was one of the contestants to the post of the world Bank president at the eve of The end of the then president. I wonder how a common secretary of the World Bank or the head of the customer service can contest the position of the world Bank president or the MD of the bank? Nb. Nobody, even SOLUDO can assail her achievements If SOLUDO has an Axe to grind, he shouldn't resort to distortion of facts |

byteem: The foreign reserves left by Obasanjo were used to defend the Naira and keep it stable. Our foreign reserves have now practically finished. And oil prices at $65 and oil prices at $30 are not the same thing. |

Obiagelli: So why ain't we going after GEJ? We are no fools either way. GEJ is responsible for everything under his watch. Iweala wouldn't withdraw without GEJ's consent. Is there no reason why GEJ is not being prosecuted? Does GEJ know too much about the anti-corruption crusaders? I am yet to understand why the smaller fishes are being hounded, while the main perpetrator is chilling in his mansions. I still need to understand why GEJ is a free man, while Dasuki, Iweala, Diezani and co are persecuted/prosecuted. |

Eluwilussit: Obiagelli:I kind of agree with Eluwilussit, the problem wasn't NOI but Jonathan himself. However NOI should have just resigned just the way she did when OBJ wanted to start messing her up. If we check history very well, everywhere in which NOI failed under GEJ, she actually did well under OBJ. NOI achieved her world acclaim when she worked with OBJ, all economic indices were on a steady rise but the whole story strangely changed when she worked with GEJ. @Obiagelli, I remember the state governors also prevailed on OBJ/NOI to share the ECA funds. They termed the account 'illegal' and even took him to court but OBJ in his stubborn ways vehemently refused to crack; same also happened with Yaradua but he equally refused. But the very second GEJ assumed office, one of the first things he did in 2010 was to share the ECA money in order to curry favour from the governors for his 2011 ambition. I think OBJ was right when he said NOI is a genius but she has her weaknesses and needs to work with a smart boss if she must excel. 1 Like |

DropShot: Don't mind those people talking about ECA. It was on live program Godswin Akpabio said there's nothing like ECA that not country like nigeria will have ECA because we haven't got enough to develop not to talk of excess. Which is a common sense statement. So Ex Finance Minister was just a media economist and window dresser. 1 Like |

Eluwilussit:Is nigeria sane enough to try an ex president? time will tell. NOI's time has passed, but ediots won't stop telling us how she would have done better that someone that has barely spent 4 months. Save for the naira, things were a lot worse under NOI when oil prices fell to $60 |

Come on folks! NOI did a horrible job with our economy, we are simply experiencing the aftermath. In a sane clime, this woman should be answering questions on the account of her stewardship. Nobody can magically repair the damage Jonathan and his gang of thieves rendered the country for 5 years, in 8 months. Let's eschew election loss bitterness and be objective. Oil, our main ForEx is at it all time low, we don't produce any other thing. Femi Aribisala is just a bitter old man that will do or say anything to criticize this government. |
