Kudos to her for her appointment. Another feather's been added to her already 'feather-full' hat! The recognition this lady gets overseas is a testament to her astute knowledge of economic and financial matters. Since it's been proven time and again how knowledgeable she is, why couldn't she use her vast experience to set Nigeria on the course of financial stability during her time as minister of finance? Or could it be the people she was responsible to didn't take heed to her expert advice? My respect to you, madam!

One of the few ministers of gej that knows her onion (imho) and as it stands today, no single case of financial mismanagement, embezzlement has, at least, been linked to her, yet she wasn't just a minister of finance, but a coordinating minister of the economy as well.

Conversely, one frog-eyed criminal saddled with the administrative responsibility of the Petroleum industry almost sank this country with mindless stealing and that is the frog some toads keep justifying her ungodly actions by always reminding us of the numerous capacities in which she had served. I wonder what relationship exists between the offices occupied in ones life time and raping a nation to coma.

I could remember when this NOI was in the news talking about the unwillingness of the administration, in which she had served, was partly responsible for the economic crisis being experienced, reprobates almost skinned her alive since her comments seemed to partly absolve this administration.

Anyway, with her new appointment, she has actually proven to be resourceful, a quality which the IB allowed to lie dormant.

God will continue to bless her...
Good Woman

While I fully agree nothing has been linked to her, if you are in a room that smells like smoke and you claim that because you don't smoke, you didn't see smoke.... You are either not truthful to yourself or hope that doing no evil equates to seeing no evil.
She was there when all this money was stolen why didn't she blow the whistle? Before whistle blowing became the in thing in Nigeria, they have been blowing it all around the world especially the world bank where it is encouraged as policy.

Kudos to her because I have always liked and admired her,
but she cannot be absolved of the embezzlement and corruption because she was in the room and in the cabinet with this. She is guilty by association. Her office signed a lot of those payments and approved movement of cash.

Actually, I didn't absolve her of involvement, at least cold complicity, but my point is that SHE KNOWS HER ONIONS, meaning, even if she had participated in the "yam eating festival", she was very professional about it, hence a good reason no single case has been linked to her.

This is why she was an invaluable asset to the past administration, but what did the grand commander of buffoonery do about it, his attention was on the frog's abuna and the emptiness of that administration couldn't be noticed because the inflow was so much that any jackass can pass for as a good manager.

My point is that, NOI was an invaluable asset to that administration.

Just imagine how obj put her to maximum use, she played a central role in that debt relief and quite a number of other economic activities later culminating in this paris refund that these criminals called governors are now spending on personal effects.
