Thank God you're a bit wiser than the other blind wailers singling out Amaechi and Fashola only for blame, by using the word "36 governors". NOI simply compared the two bosses she served under -OBJ and GEJ and stated in clear terms that one had the political will while the other didn't despite Crude oil selling at the highest under him and he depleted our foreign reserves that others before him helped to grow. She has clearly indicted GEJ with her statement and vindicated PMB when he said that the immediate past government had plundered our Commonwealth like no man's business, hence the current hardship we face. To say this is the same man some id!ots including you unfortunately celebrate as a hero just because he conceded defeat in an election he clearly lost goes to show some people's stupidity is simply irredeemable.

Okonjo iweala: “We saved $22 billion because the political will to do it was there. And when the 2008 /2009 crisis came, we were able to draw on those savings precisely to issue about a 5 percent of GDP fiscal stimulus to the economy and we never had to come to the bank or the fund.

Okonjo iweala: Okonjo-Iweala added that Nigeria was able to save $22 billion under former President Olusegun Obasanjo, which saved the country in 2008, when there was global economic meltdown.

f NOI truly said so, then she is right. Amaechi and co, never wanted the Excess Crude Oil reserved to be saved, they will go to court and be over ruled "share the money". Today everybody suffers the repercussion.

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.

amtaken:
She never blamed him.

The lack of political will was caused by Amechi and his cohorts who sued the Federal Government to share the excess crude oil to states.

The Federal Government lacked the political will because of the likes of Amechi.

Political will does not supersede rule of law in a sane country practising democracy. 2 governors got court relief to "share the money " and the money was shared; end of story. Political will is a collective issue for the political gladiators and not GEJ alone.

Nusaf:

The issue now is why are the consequences of such unwillingness being placed at the door steps of the present administration?

Codes151:


Have u served? Go and finish school! I u have, start again! She wasn't blaming GEJ... Re read. Or STFU. U and ur likers

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

Arnoldo:
dnt u knw that while okonjo iweala was clamouring for saving, d governors then went to court to get an injuction to share the money? do u expect jonathan to go against to court order and still talk democracy like buhari?

mykl01:


Because the cycle is repeating itself. Today we have a nomad who just jets around the world begging for money to give out to people. Who is busy fighting the NASS on top of a padded budget so he could settle his cronies. Who is using subsidy payment like traffic light.
Guess who will pay for that loan.....
Yes!! You are right.
You, your children and grand children. People should continue wailing till there is sincerity in government.

1. NOI is just re-affirming the same thing OBJ said about NOI needing proper handling and leadership.

2. NOI trying to save face by subliminally throwing GEJ under the bus; a la, I did well under OBJ, I couldn't have turned bad overnight . . . blame my boss who lacked the political will to do the right thing.

3. The Governors were not elected to lead this great country -- the buck stops with Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, just as it presently does with PMB.

4. Imagine PMB or Kemi Adeosun trying to blame Fayose and some errant governors for PMB's failures . . . would you listen to them?

5. BTW, most of them governors were PDP members at the time.

Propene:
nonsense!

she should cover her face in shame, she was the sole guardian of the country's finance and she couldn't save for the rainy days

modath:


Una don start bah?

NOI talked about LACK OF WILL , check the meaning & "USAGE" before trying to engage in discuss far above your comprehension....

Amaechi, The all powerful arm twisted the 52% federal share out of Hero IB's control as well?

Like the ECA is even constitutional...

Abegiii, exit stage left with your Amaechi induced Paranoia.......

[size=13pt]The facts remain:[/size]
Governors Fashola and Amaechi went to court demanding our savings be shared, today they're both ministers.
NOI did allude to the role played by those govs in the unadulterated version of her speech . I read her full speech.

“This time around, this is the key now, you need not only  to have the instrument, but you also need the political will. In my second time as a finance minister, from 2011 to 2015, we had the instrument, we had the means, we had done it before, but zero political will.
“So we were not able to save when we should have. That is why you find that Nigeria is now in the situation it is in. Along with so many other countries.”

Lionsclaw:
No mr. It shows how clueless you are.
No. 1 she did not mention gej
No. 2 if u were in the country btw 2011-2015 you will know she was referring to Amaechi and govs forum who fought gej when gej wanted to save.

Now look at the number of people who liked what you posted that why they call people zombie cos they dont reason or understand but let emotion control them

jojomario:
Dont tell me that if you are given a simple passge ti deduce a fact, you cant .
Are you expecting her to say it openly that jonathan was gullible and weak? That was the reason she used Obasanjo as a case study in her statement .
I just confirmed the category of people you belong to. You hardly take time to reason.
This is Nigeria, you can't be gullible and weak as a president of this Nation. Mind you I am not one of those that garner likes on media.
Get your facts and reason accordingly .

jojomario:
so, if you are a leader and someone is pulling your efforts down. what would you do? people like you can't excel where there is no will.
