Well with Ibo people, when they tell you they want to serve you chicken wings, more often than not, what they are really serving is not chicken wings, but real human hands from abandoned babies

Remember that Ibos are cannibalistic in nature. It is in their blood to eat humans.

¶10. (S)[size=15pt] It was a rare occasion for the GCBN to be that frank
and open. He is usually extremely cautious and reticent, and
very seldom provides his views on the politics of Nigeria or
other members of the cabinet.
[/size] It was also clear that he was
very concerned about the short and medium term future of the
Yar'Adua administration, and was disappointed in the
President's leadership style and the direction of the
country. He was not optimistic that the political atmosphere
would change unless Yar'Adua made some real changes
concerning the people around him such as the AG.

Wikileaks: Soludo Disappointed in Yar’Adua’s leadership; AGF Aondoakaa “Worst” Minister
Posted: September 9, 2011 - 03:36




Charles Soludo

By SaharaReporters, New York
As Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Professor Charles   Soludo seemed to have been a target difficult for the American Ambassador in Nigeria, Ms. Robin Sanders, by her own admission.  He did not seem to sit still long enough, or to be willing to open his mouth.

[size=18pt]But in December 2008, one and half years after ailing Nigerian ruler Umaru Yar’Adua assumed office, Soludo finally caved in and, for some reason, invited her to a “private briefing” he had organized for local journalists.  The briefing led to a luncheon between the bank boss and the ambassador. [/size]

[size=18pt]Once prodded, Soludo told Ambassador Sanders that he was highly disappointed in Yar’Adua’s leadership of Nigeria.  Not only was Yar'Adua "slow," he said, the man seemed unable to manage the "political forces around him such as the Attorney General, [Michael Aondoakaa]" who continually sought to undercut democratic principles.[/size]

The “reticent” and “elusive” CBN boss, apparently forgetting his act, [size=18pt]turned quite loquacious[/size].  He said he believed the anti-democratic forces around Yar’Adua wanted to maintain their power and influence on the government, and were giving Yar’Adua bad advice.
He identified one of such forces, Aondoakaa, as the "worst" person in the cabinet and the main culprit of misdeeds in the Yar'Adua administration.

But Soludo gave Yar'Adua credit for trying to do the right thing and being “seriously analytical” about what he wanted for Nigeria.

The CBN governor, who also served as chairman of the African Finance Corporation (AFC), connected his reading of Yar’Adua’s leadership style to the ongoing investigation of the AFC, calling it an attempt by Andoakaa to ensure that a northerner, someone he could control, became CBN Governor.

[size=15pt]He told Ambassador Sanders that Andoakaa was unable to control the CBN under his leadership, and therefore wanted him out in favour of someone “he not only could manipulate, but would also allow him to use the CBN as his personal bank.”[/size]

In April 2008, it would be recalled, the federal government set up a committee to investigate the AFC, with particular attention to the CBN’s role in its formation, funding, and operation.   Contrary to the rules governing the AFC, Soludo had maintained its chairmanship in his personal capacity.  Among other things, the committee recovered the CBN investment of over $462 million [$480 million was specified in the committee’s mandate] and placed it in an interest-yielding account in JP Morgan Chase Bank, New York pending the federal government’s determination of its continued participation in the AFC.

The panel also recommended that AFC President and Chief Executive Officer, Austine Ometoruwa, and one Isaac Sam, should be investigated by the EFCC for money laundering and round-tripping. It said that Soludo and Ometoruwa were to help the government recover the $11 million interest which accrued to CBN's investment in the AFC.

Reflecting on the matter half a year later, Soludo told Ambassador Sanders that no wrong doing had been found and that the $480 million that was placed in escrow during the investigation [as opposed to the $462 million the investigating committee said was invested by the CBN] was being reinvested in the international financial sector.




With reference to the financial situation in the country, Soludo said Nigeria had weathered the global financial crisis because he had maintained the policy of not letting foreign banks own Nigerian banks, and also because 18 months earlier the country’s banking sector had gone through major overhauling, scrutiny and oversight.   [size=18pt]He bragged that the country's banking sector not only was "sound but also that no banks were failing, or about to fail."[/size]

At the “private briefing” preceding Soludo’s meeting with Ambassador Sanders, he told the journalists present he had called them because he had observed inaccurate press articles about Nigeria's banking sector, the state of the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE), and the role of the CBN.

But he then became defensive about himself, asserting that he was a well-respected economist and could easily return to his previous, more lucrative, life in the private sector as a renowned consultant. “Therefore why would he risk his reputation on anything like embezzling or misusing funds from the AFC, which was what [Aondoakaa] was accusing him of doing?”

The cable by the American ambassador included, at this point, the following note: “[Andoakaa] is known to try to steal anything that is not tied down, and there seems to be no end to his desire to amass personal wealth through illicit enrichment.”

Ms. Sanders asked Soludo, who was passed on from Obasanjo, whether he would stay on if asked to do so after the end of his term in May 2009. "Even if I did not want to stay on, but was asked to do so," Soludo said, "I would really have no choice. When one is offered something in government and it is turned down, it is viewed as unpatriotic and then the entire society makes you pay for it and people can become quite vicious."

According to the cable, Soludo told the ambassador he had just had a conversation with his family in London about this particular very issue, and that “they all were nervous for him, if in the end, he decided not to accept an offer to stay on as GCBN pass his five year term.”
Soludo did not tell the ambassador, who probably knew anyway, that his family lived in a huge mansion of such splendor he could not explain how he had come by such wealth.  Or that his actual dream was the governorship of Anambra State.

The CBN governor would soon leave the ambassador to jet our of the country, but apparently, there were associates or friends of his who kept talking.  The cable continued: [size=20pt]“There were others close to Soludo right after the lunch that noted -- in an almost casual manner -- that Yar'Adua transplanted kidney was failing and that other alternatives where underway such as testing whether Agricultural Minister Ruma's brother, Jahana, would be a match for Yar'Adua as Ruma himself had been. We have heard a lot about the possibility that Yar'Adua has lung cancer.”
[/size]
Months later, however, Soludo told Yar’Adua he was also going to be gunning for the Anambra State governorship, a race that—in competition with some of the richest and most ruthless people in the country, such as Andy Uba—was going to demand billions of Naira.

Not at the CBN or at any consultancy did the “well-respected economist” earn billions of Naira.

But as with his mansion in London, he has not explained how he found the lavish funds with which he paid for it.

SEFAGO:


I once has the misfortune of interacting with a 2:2 engineering graduate from Nigeria. I was horrendously scarred. I grew dumber every minute I talked to the guy. Guy was an engineer and did not know how to use an excel sheet and was unwilling to learn anything. I have countless stories but I think it would suffice to say 2:2=M/O/R/ON

You just proved me right. You've lost touch. First of all, you need to differentiate the student/man/woman/individual from the system. The Nigerian educational system is phocked up. But the Nigerian brain is still, to a great extent, something you can rely on, all other things considered. Making your decision based on one chance encounter is not only anti-intellectual, it is very depressing and something I never expected from some one your caliber, assuming you are not being sarcastic.

For starters, your n= 1, which means that it is not representative of the quality of Nigerian engineering graduates. Period. And making any sort of generalization is tantamount to acting out your preconceived notions about Nigerian engineering graduates borne out of your fears and insecurities. Perhaps, you were denied admission to a Nigerian university. An experience that has now scarred you, making you to look for faults no matter how small in people that supposedly took your spots and in the process hurt your feelings badly. Which means, you my friend arent different from Ajanlekoko. Only that the circumstances are different.

Secondly, the system is stacked against certain people. Success as a student in Nigeria depends mostly on how well you are able to cram. if you are not good at cramming, you are phocked. That is the truth. meaning, in a system like ours, you will be doing yourself a great disservice if you judged people by their cGPA alone. Nigerian certificates  rarely reflects, within the Nigerian context, the capability of the individual holding it.

Thirdly, graduating from college alone is a testament and in a way some recommendation from the school that you have met the minimum requirement needed to excel in your field, and trying to separate people on the basis of the cGPA is merely an exercise in futility because , psychologically soothing as it may seem, everyone, and especially new recruits irrespective of cGPA still needs to operate within a laid down set of rules. The point is that in a world as standardized as ours, people rarely use what they learnt in school. Your first class guy isnt going to be making waves immediately, and the third class dude isnt probably as incompetent to not be able to do the  job.  If he wasnt competent enough, he would not have graduated in the first place.

I agree too. Ajanlekoko seems overzealous with regards to criticizing foreign grads and complaining about the "wack" ones he has met. Then I can't blame him- foreign grads are kind of overhyped in Nigeria.

But tbh from the little I know of the Nigerian educational system, I would never hire a 2:2 graduate for anything except janitorial work. Most people get 2:2 because they deserved and did less work not because they were "social" or more outgoing. Even the 2:1 and first class graduates in nigeria are still iffy intellectually. Then you now have to scrap the bottom of the barrel, you would be recruiting m/o/rons.

Moreover grades are usually a reflection of your work ethic, not really your intellect, and work ethic is really important in most jobs. A 2:2 indicates that you are lazy or too stoooopid to figure out how to cheat your way to a second class upper.

Ajanlekoko, you don hear am today grin grin grin grin grin grin grin

janitorial work.

OMG!

@ SEFAGO, I think you are wrong with your assessment of 2:2s. You've lost touch man!
