For some times now as Nigeria’s economic problems deepen due to the fall in oil prices and the rapid devaluation of the Naira against the Dollar in the parallel (black) market, some naive folks and arm chair critics who can’t see beyond their nose mostly out of sentiment now analyze the Nigerian economy like experts in the mold of Adam Smith, Lord Alfred Marshal, or Robert Keynes.

They blame the Minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun for the free fall of the Naira and the over-bloated 2016 budget. They see her as inexperienced, incompetent, and poorly qualified if at all fit for the job. They blame her for everything wrong with the economy. Their description of her is in fact a reflection of how daft and shallow their minds are because it clearly shows that they have no knowledge of how the economy works. As if not done, they still go around crediting the recent gains by the Naira against the US Dollar to the politician cum businessman, Chief Ifeanyi Ubah. That level of daftness is quite nauseating; especially coming from supposedly educated people.

It was revered Professor Akin Oyebode, a professor of law who first claimed Mrs. Kemi Adeosun is poorly qualified for the position of Nigeria’s Minister for Finance and his only reason was that she couldn’t gain admission to Harvard Business School(HBS). Excuse me!!! When did attending Harvard become criteria for choosing finance ministers? How many Harvard ex Nigerian Finance Ministers have rescued Nigeria from financial deep? Is it because the cerebral young woman doesn’t come out to bamboozle the public with economic jargons and esoteric figures?


[b]As per her qualification, she holds a Bachelor’s degree in Applied Economics from the University of East London and a Masters in Public Finance from the University of South London with membership of all the relevant accounting professional bodies in UK and Nigeria aside working for Price Waterhouse Cooper (PWC) and top financial houses with experience spanning some 22 years. She was also Commissioner for Finance of Ogun State for 4 years (2011-2015) where she did wonders in raising the IGR several folds and keeping the books clean paving the way for her meritorious rise to her present position. Not even Chief Okotie Eboh or Pat Utomi or Charles Soludo were as experienced as Kemi now when they got appointed to pivotal positions as economic adviser, Minister of Finance, and CBN Governor respectively. Pat Utomi was appointed Economic Adviser to President Shagari at age 27. How much experience had he at the time? Same age was also Chief Okotie Eboh. Charles Soludo was made CBN governor and did very well even with zero work experience. Only academic consultations and teaching;for which top bankers and captains of industries cried wolf. Let’s give Kemi Adeosun a chance to prove herself and fortunately she’s been doing great and putting up a lot of sacrifice. Am I the only one noticing her weight loss and (apparent) slight aging since becoming minister?
[/b]you are cluelss

The position of Finance Minister or any office is not the preserve of anyone or group of people and everyone must not be judged according to other people’s standards. The fastest rising economies in the world weren’t built by Harvard or Ivy League grads neither did the World Bank and IMF hawks give them a chance when they were building from foundation. Auntie Kemi is young, beautiful, and brilliant with the grit and grace to lead Nigeria’s economy to Eldorado whether naysayers like or believe her or not.

Who assisted Nigeria to clear the debt of the Paris club? Who created the Excess Crude Account and the Sovereign Wealth Fund?

Is it not the then governors that went on a sharing spree of the ECA through the state's commissioners of finance by arm twisting NOI?

Kemi is Inexperienced

PiperAlpha:
Your submission is very on point. I hereby confer the title "ineffectual Buffon" also on NOI. GEJ & NOI raped this country blind. NOI failed terribly in her duties, even the most basic one - save for rainy days. She was not only the finance minister, but also the coordinating minister of the economy. She kept on reeling false statistics to deceive GEJ and gullible Nigerians in believing that Nigeria is doing well economically.

She supervised the unprecedented depletion of our foreign reserve in a period of oil boom. She failed to diversify the economy when we had so much revenue accruing to the government.

The high oil price was just a perfect cover for her ineptness and failures.

Now, Kemi is here to clean her mess. Kemi is here to stay.

Wailers deal with it!

slimmy2005:
Another ignorant octopus. Stop this unnecessary competition. Okonjo has been tested and trusted, she is a world class product. Obasanjo begged her, not appointed to come and work for her country. She came in right from world bank mugu. Adeosun is a monday to friday PwC worker. No economic acheivement

Integrityfarms:
Kikikiikiii!! Adeosun is a local champion! A village inexperienced financial expert. She lacks the grisp of international economics.

Stop defending incompetence.

sukkot:
yeah biafrans leave kemi alone lol

happney65:


And under NOI,The Nigerian Economy became the Largest in Africa...Isnt it?

And how has the over-hyped economist, who could not diversify economy during oil boom turned around Nigeria economy especially in the time of oil boom if I may ask?

PiperAlpha:

Of what use now is the ECA (the cookie jar) now that it has been depleted? Why should creating an ECA even an achievement? This is just common sense. Even oil companies too have it. Excess crude account is nothing special; it's just for savings.

What did you mean by assisting Nigeria clear the debt of the Paris club? This happened during the OBJ administration. Between, the same NOI left a lot of debt for us nah. She even took some debt to pay salaries. Who does that?

Agreed, the governors advocated for the money in the ECA to be shared. You'd agree with me that the governors had a point. They knew FG (PDP) would have use money from the ECA to rig the election. Let me even agree with you that they erred. What did FG do with their own share of 52%? Could you please explain?

Lastly. what's your definition of "inexperience"? Look forward to reading your response.

Tested and trusted with her voodoo economics?

Yet it failed to affect the lives of the average market woman in the street.

Continue living in a grand illusion

I will always take madam Kemi any day any time over a hundred Ngozi okonjo Iweala aka madam voodoo economist.

Kemi might be untested and unproven,I'm more than willing to giver her a chance and weather the storm together with her,so long she is atleast honest and practical with the affairs of the nation.

Only dumbos makes silly and unsubstantiated noise about kemi and her work.

Nice read by the way.
