tbaba1234:


This is not what NOI blamed. There was no political will. OBJ faced similar pressure. With a strong political will, you can do a lot of things as president to save.

maupe:

OBJ had the strength of being a two term president. Also, his political power had been increased by his supposed conquest of the western region. Goodluck on the other hand, was a VP turned President: Read the history of Lyndon.B .Johnson, Gerald Ford and also George Bush.Snr. President Jonathan did not have the political might of OBJ, and also time will tell if GEJ was the smarter one. Machiavelli died in poverty, but the legacy of his ideology is still being studied today, because he had an idea. Goodluck had an idea, and so, posterity will show if he was indeed clueless or not

jojomario:
Even a member of a past government blaming the former boss. It shows how clueless the the former president was to see beyond the present.

ChikezieU:
you are the clueless one, did he proposed for the money to be saved or not? Which people opposed it?

AntiWailer:
Finally Bubu vindicated

Wailers can scream

Okonjo knew what they were doing was not sustainable.

She screamed in 2014

--Brace for tougher times ahead :

--They borrowed money to pay salary

Wailers know all these but when you mix tribal sentiment + political sentiment + religious sentiment , Brain disappears and you sit on Time Bomb.

To say they call people Zombie is very laughable because inability to use ones brain because of loyalty describes wailers better than anybody. They are the real ZOMBIE



One question for those blaming Governors for GEJ's failures "

How did we save Under Obasanjo ? You can't compare a leader with a vision and a visionless Leader. This is why IStandWithAnybodyButJonathan. Wailers can fill their burial form. I don't care.


"Jonathan only reigned he did not rule and was not in charge"
Obasanjo

maupe:

Obama is currently being denied his right to nominate and confirm a supreme court judge, by the Republican congress. Will you hold Obama responsible for that. Remember the President was forced by a judgement from a federal high court to release the funds.

nightmile:

What idea please?

Blitz888:
This is no news...it's rather unfortunate that this is coming from the coordinating minister of the economy in the same regime she is taking a swipe at.
She should spare us this belated advice... Who she epp

Dee60:

Thanks for saying the truth! Honest Nigerians know what the problem is and where it started.

They lacked the will to save but they had strong will to share..... The throat was too long. They saved it all in their personal pockets and are using their loot to try to destablize the country now. They wont succeed!

Joshuahunpe:
see her yeye mouth!

TheGoodJoe:


Her statement said..

the persons behind these allegations acted as if the constitutionally recognized FAAC

This has nothing to do with GEJ. She lied with their name.
They replied.

The committee, in a statement issued on its behalf by
Forum of Finance Commissioners in Abuja, stated that
the law setting it up did not give it the power to approve
withdrawals from the ECA.

So, there was a clear lie and not that GEJ said and Finance Commissioners said.

Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala broke the trust and the will.

folks4luv:
from d few comments I've read on this topic n from d ones I've seen from other threads, I can conclude that sentimentalism has so much beclouded d reasoning of most people that comments on political issue, so much that many either do not read d article or even understanding it before commenting. n its a pity. Nigerian youth are tactless, reason yesteryears leaders will still rule us even till tomorrow. and it doesn't matter...either ur a wailer or a zombie.

daretodiffer:
But if the government had said 'give money to so, so and so', what should she have done?

gifsCEC:


Was there no opposition to savings during obasanjo's time? How come they saved?

Soludo said political will and character.

Now NOI has come out also to confess political will.

Whom should we believe? Soludo and NOI or Anonymous you?

nworanco:

The presiding officer during the meeting were the president (jeg) and he gave accent to the outcome of the faac meeting, whoever that was there agreed to issued discussed there.

Nusaf:

What's ur point? Can u pls be specific?

TheGoodJoe:


She did not say they just discussed the issue. She talked of their constitutional backing which did not exist.

Why talk about something that did not exist?

ChikezieU:
thats not the reason for you to see respect for rule of law as cluelessness, you should be calling on the rascality of the Governors and the Presindent seeking for second term not knowing he would be betrayed

Babaji111:
Oho! When APC was blaming the previous government on our present predicaments, the clueless wailers were blaming them.

Now who is to be blamed. A lot of confessions will soon emerge. Nemesis is a natural phenomenon not man made.

Thanks to all the progressives for voting CHANGE. As change is REAL not a fiction.

LONG LIVE BABA!

shaqhead:

Son, all this semantic rigmarole is all hooey!

This your analogy has no bearing on this matter because if the governors ddnt want to continue saving they wd have opted out from the beginning but they did until....

Please tell me am wrong to the following questions:

Did the governors go to court to stop the savings in the beginning? NO!
I guess you know their adduced reason for takin that decision!

Did the governors stop the Executive arm from saving its own share of the ECA saavings? NO! ( So u kno d govs only had a 30% stake)

Are the governors responsible for the depletion of our foreign reserves? NO!

Her words are as clear as day.....she mentioned OBJ admin and compared it with the last admin where i know that Amaechi wasnt the president and if you keep pushing the Amaechi stale gibberish, you only indict your hero as nothing less than the various epithets he has been called in different fora!

You can lie to yourself all you like, jst as u- a male claimed to b "female maupe" of channels but this glaring facts you cant deny!

TheGoodJoe:


If NOI did not touched it, fought to block leakages at NNPC, tackled wastage, she would have kept the ECA funds safe.

Lying about the Federal Commissioners backing her, without knowing they did not even have such power was smoking gun that nailed their case.

She was to save it and not tamper with it. She caused the Governors to lose the will.

If she did not touch it, they will not look that way.

nworanco:

But do u know that saying the commissioners backed the decision were under statement when the chief Character had exercised his veto power?

9jatatafo:


Some governors especially Amaechi and Oshiomole were on her neck

PentiumPro:


So what happened to the Federal government portion of the funds?

gifsCEC:


The same governors that worked with yaradua also worked with GEJ. How come they didn't harass yaraduayaradua? How come they couldn't force OBJ? Soludo confronted NOI below

“I hereby challenge your attempt to blame others for not saving for the rainy day. It is not a virtue when you are quick to appropriate all the credit when things are going well, but shift the blame when they go wrong,”

You blame the state governors, who, according to you, have taken the federal government to the Supreme Court – not that a Supreme Court judgement forced your hands. For your information, the governors have never agreed to savings and always threatened court action even under Obasanjo. Why did we save under Obasanjo but not under Jonathan? Two keywords explain it: leadership and integrity.”

http://leadership.ng/news/408685/soludo-fires-okonjoiweala-n30trillion-stolen-watch

It wasn't any law that made GEJ and NOI not save....it was simply a lack of political will and she's now bold enough to admit the truth.

Mc4larin:
Today is my birthday, please wish me success!

maupe:

You ply the Apapa Oshodi expressway everyday and you still complain about the "failure" of GEJ.
You watched as Nigeria's economy grew by 6% and yet you mocked the President's economic team
You bought fuel consistently, without queing and yet you blamed him for subsidy payments.
President Jonathan, was no lee kuan Yuew, given, but he was pretty close to that.
Dont worry, Paul Nwabuikwu, will help clarify her statement tomorrow.
