When you think about one of the brave policies Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala pioneered while in office by ensuring publication of government accounts, especially the ECA monthly, and you juxtapose that with what we have today, you sigh and breathe rather irrationally, because of our penchant of going around in circles. We take one step forward and take several backwards. God bless Nigeria

The truth is Okonjo Iweala is a brave woman and deserves to be commended for writing the book; fighting corruption is dangerous. It puts so many things into light.

If EFCC really means to fight corruption, the evidences in Okonjo-Iweala’s book are enough to begin immediate prosecution of those involved. But it’s a pity, they’ve all joined APC; they are now immune to EFCC. Magu himself. Since your Eagle has gone blind, God is watching you ooo.

For years now, budget padding has been going on the floor of the national assembly, yet there has been no legal action to curb this wicked and corrupt act. Jibrin’s case and the 2016 budget is still under the carpet.

I'm sure none of them has read the book, yet they keep saying rubbish. They just can't stand the deep revelations of their corrupt practices. God will expose them all.

SeyeTiamiyu:
This is why it is important for one to read Okonjo Iweala’s book one self, if not, one would just be mislead by this wrong reports.

It is so appalling that the supposedly fourth estate of the republic, who should sensitize the public with valid information have chosen the path of falsehood. Whether to attract agitated readers or simply for mischief, no one knows. Okonjo Iweala never said the N17 billion was a bribe.

That's the beauty of it , Nobody wants to go down alone

Exactly what played out when Dasuki started singing

Exactly what played out when Miss Cancer started chorusing


We need these people to get confused and indict one another

“Gbajabiamila added that the “unfair” arrangement, made lawmakers to demand that many projects be sited in their constituencies as well, being the elected representatives of the people.” LOL! Baba has admitted that actually increased the budget for their selfish use oo.

CodeTemplar:
They are never aware. Just ask Buhari who is currently taking bribes? He isn't aware neither. Both PDP and APC

We need not even read the entire book to see what Okonjo-Iweala intended by the commentary. The N17 billion was an addition to the budget just as Gbajabiamila noted. Agreed. But it is important for all these politicians who are so quick to respond to the allegations to get the book and read for themselves.

Gbajabiamila should just accept the fact that you padded the budget to suit to whims and pursuits for in 2015. Budget padding has become a norm in the National assembly. Who knows how much they alloted again for Senators or Reps Projects, even now that 2019 is close?

They keep syphoning large amounts of money into their own pockets in the name of working for the people. Let those senators and reps come out and show us those projects implemented in their constituencies. Liars of heaven and earth!


If you don’t have any other lie to lie, just keep mum, instead of speaking trash that Okonjo-Iweala and her aides wanting to increase the budgets. Haba! How did the aides enter Nigeria’s budget that they have only come to defend before you? Chai! I fear for this country oo.

But wait ooo.. This Gbajabiamila can lie ooo... Which Ministers or aides project is he talking about. Which of her aides contested in the 2015 election? Do ministers also do projects?

OreMI22:
Buhari and his bunch of jokers.

So Okonjo Iweala padded budget with projects and blinded the Senate from seeing the budget? Senate only saw the padded budgets under Buhari?

Buhari is a shameless failure. Telling silly childish lies portrays how desperate he is to continue looting Nigeria. Today, oil price is more than $70 per barrel. What has Buhari done with the doubled national earning? Has the economy improved as a result of earning double? Buhari is simply a THIEF!
