Everything about Yoruba is at best mediocre, with few rare exceptions (e.g. Soyinka)
From sports, to academics, to brawn, to perfomance, to acting, to music
Even Fasola is one overated fellow as we have read here, with flood menacing him like mad.
See as their fed ministers just they fumble. No tangible achievement compared to others.

See some correct Igbo men here. No equivalent from ya end

Excert

Sir, you are specialized in the area of energy production and its efficient use. Though you are resident in the United States, you have made periodic intervention in Nigeria's search for stable power supply. Please, tell us more about your work in the energy generation and consumption sector?

Although, I haveknowledge of fossil based power generation technologies, my expertise and experience are primarily in Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy.

Overall, I have 35+ years of diversified engineering and management experience, spread almost evenly between entrepreneurship, government, industry and academia. For the past 11 years, I have been at US Department of Energy (US DOE) as the Lead Technology Manager for the Chemicals Portfolio in the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. In this position, I play significant roles in reshaping the US government’s energy policy as well as developing and deploying energy- efficient and renewable energy technologies in key manufacturing industries in the United States, including Chemicals, Petroleum Refining and Pulp and Paper Industries. more======online

Okogie condemns Islamic banking, wants licence revoked

By Joseph Onyekwere

THE Catholic Archbishop of Lagos, Anthony Cardinal Olubunmi Okogie has kicked against the move by the Federal Government, through the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), to endorse the commencement of Islamic Banking in Nigeria, saying such was capable of fueling religious tension in the country.


Okogie condemns Islamic banking, wants licence revoked

According to a statement signed by the Director of Social Communications, Catholic Archdiocese of Lagos, Very Rev. Monsignor Gabriel Osu, Cardinal Okogie believes that the effort by the CBN governor, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi to ensure speedy take-off of the scheme through its promoters, Jaiz International Bank was part of the grand plan to turn Nigeria into an Islamic state.

He said: "We condemn such move in all its ramification. We are against the operation of Islamic banking in Nigeria because we see it as another deliberate move to subjugate Christians in Nigeria. Nigeria is a secular state. We must be very sensitive to the religious beliefs of others. Introducing Islamic banking in Nigeria will further aggravate the culpable religious tension in the country already being hoisted by the radical Islamic sect, the Boko Haram."

Okogie recalled how in the mid-nineties, the military government under General Ibrahim Babangida enlisted Nigeria's name as a member of the controversial Organization of Islamic Countries (OIC), without due consultation with all other religious groups in the country.

"I see some faceless groups trying to smuggle in their sinister agenda through the back door, but it will not work. We all kicked against the enlistment of Nigeria as a member of OIC in 90's. As usual, they came up with several arguments that we stand to gain lot economically. This time too, the CBN is telling every one who cares to hear that the scheme promises non-interest banking, as if it all ends there.

"Why should they come up with such an idea at this point under the tenure of Lamido Sanusi? What will happen if Christians should wake up tomorrow and say they want to start a Christian banking scheme and those in the traditional religion decide to do likewise? We are going to ensure that it does not see the light of the day," he insisted.

He urged President Goodluck Jonathan and the CBN to quickly rescind the license granted the promoters of the bank, warning that allowing such bank to exist was capable of flaming the embers of religious warfare and aggravating the already tensed security atmosphere in the country.

The clergy rather cautioned the CBN to concentrate on the ailing banks in Nigeria and strategize on how to ensure their vibrancy.

"We already have eight ailing banks in the country. The CBN should focus more on how to bring them back to life rather than dissipating energy on a project as Islamic banking, that was laid to rest in the 90's," he stated.

Did any one realize that this same man actually contested for the presidency last April? Unfortunately, his party was one of the many unknown political elements. Great guy.

Slave-driving retail store where clerks stand from morning till night, the reason they were kicked out of Germany.

To say that Abati was an honest person is a gross over (my tautologic emphasis) exaggeration. Was it not the same Abati and Abuja land grab saga?

My point is that the guys is not Yoruba.
And, asking to see Aganga's salary happens to be comparison to you
How do I compare Aganga's salary that I have not seen to a WB salary that is mentioned here?
All these ijebu ijesha university students with half a brain.

When i have Otedola to cook her for lunch

Both Otedola and the Glo man are fronting for military northerners. Nothing for them.
Add to that, they are both heavily indebted to banks too.
Wait until those retired military men from hausa/fulani collect their investments back. Oloshi, broke a/ss malu.

Even Obi Ezekwesili another Igbo at the World Bank (as VP for Africa) will pay for your entire village for 50 years. Poor you.

seanet02:
I hope you know where Aganga works and how much he earns? Retract that statement before i tore you to pieces

Buhahah! Aganga is Edo. Stop claiming him. Even at that, can you show us Aganga's salary so we can see for ourselves?

seanet02:
