Corruption in Nigeria starts with you.

I'd rather return to UK than continue to aid and abet looters in government.

That's the honourable way to go.

For 6 years, madam puff puff cheeks collected her salary in dollars just to watch the economy plunged into the ground by Jonathan and his miscreants.

What's the purpose of paying her that much then?

Another format embarassed. You all are not different from Hushpuppi. GEJ had no shoes, PMB couldn't afford the N25m APC's presidential form and had to take loan from the bank, this is somebody whose children were studying in expensive schools abroad. This is not a Nigerian election, it involves other countries whose citizens are not as gullible as most Nigerians. Madam NOI was the only minister that insisted that she MUST be paid in dollars during her time as minister under OBJ and GEJ. Madam NOI, please go and bring out money from where u have been hiding them and hire PR team(s), we are tired of financing the expensive lifestyles of yours, APC and PDP politicians.

aha, The funny thing is, he is not Richer than the FG of the day or the governor of your state. The chief of Army staff has a house in the UAE and he claimed he saved enough money to buy it. You guys keep masturbating on the mention of GEJ, His era has passed concentrate on the new FG and checkmate them on ways they can make any meaningful contribution to an already deadly situation. He is approaching the 8 year period and nothing to show for it so far not even recovered loots as acclaimed.let me further go, I'm hoping APC go on for the next 16 years after that we will see what next yah lot will compare to. this APC/PMB issue yah lot keep flinging into political arguments is boring ain't yah lot tired and fed up of it? it's 2020 for crying out loud and nothing to show for it. as we speak the pounds is £550. Our external debt has skyrocketed and our external reserve is at an all-time low.

You seem to forget this person you are talking about is not a politician, rather an epitome of financial industries. What's wrong with her kids studying abroad? did you for once think she lived in Nigeria? her kids were born abroad b4 she even took up a position. If her CV is that corrupt as painted she would be nowhere near all these juicy positions she has attained on the world stage. Give praises to one who it's due and not politicise everything!

Congratulations ma on your nomination, You have been a star and you have been making our nation proud. The Almighty God will continue to bless you.

I will dedicate my data and time to campaign for you on the social media for WTO DG because
I want a Nigerian to occupy the position and your choice is a good one.

My great prayer is to see you serve again on this capacity to keep contributing on the growth of our nation.

Without being told, I am already a volunteer.

This is about your claim that she was the only minister earning dollars.

Firstly, her appointment wasnt political in any nature.

She had her earnings in dollars before Obj and Jonathan went for her and her employers agreed. As human beings, it's normal to maintain/exceed your present salary. Also, in her case her family resides in US which meant her expenses was pegged against the dollars.

I am sure if you were in her shoes, you would have done the same.

*Not in any way affiliated to NOI
excuses.. She is not the only person with family in the US abeg?.

where did she say this role is by fire by force? And have heard her mention that her hands are full at the moment?, The role she is vying for will be called by voting and I believe the voters have the credentials of each contestant, let their votes judge her...I don't really know where your bitterness and animosity Is coming from.

not bn bitter in any way shape or form .... but shes the one who said she needs money for PR.... if shed not serious about the role why cry out for PR funds ....
