Bevista:
I sense a woman who regrets being identified with Jonathan. This is a subtle but clear indictment of the inept & corrupt GEJ administration.

While I do appreciate her candor in admitting her failure and speaking glowingly about PMB, I'm curious to know why politicians & public officials suddenly become Patriotic when they lose the patronage & glamour of office - case in point, Edwin Clarke & NOI.

All friends now deserting the Cluless one, even madam gele who was leader of the Musketeers. Failure is an orphan indeed!

As for the obdurate ones still clinging on to the shadow of their "Hero", this is a wakeup call - your role models are deserting you in droves. Even those who swam like Olympic champions in the corruption-ridden government of Jonathan are now towing the path of honour and praising President Buhari’s anti-corruption agenda. Soon you lot will left clutching at nothing - even GEJ will leave you people soon to join the CHANGE train.

modath:


NOI didn't throw Diezani under a bus, gist is that she detests Diezani with every fibre of her soul cos of her thieving ways...

Have you ever mistakenly seen Diezani & NOI chummy in pic? That they just barely exchange glances at FEC.

Say what you may about madam gele, she is not a THIEF, she is just a guilty of being an unrepentant textbook imperialist economist who didn't let her environment dictate the direction of economic policies ..

SE people didn't ruin Jona, he ruined himself, he is the easiest of marks... are the SW obas SE too,?did they not ride his **** hard? In plain english, he was an ode...

TonyeBarcanista:

What does NOI mean by this? I don't think this is fair.

My earlier comment was an indictment of NOI. I was a critic of hers without taking away some of her achievements! I didn't say she wasn't guilty, I said she was used, she became complicit because morals was absent in GEJ's government. Yes she's probably guilty of corruption, But NO, I don't think she came into government to steal like many others.

azzima:
The other day,it was Ebonyi governor, yesterday it was Stella Odua, today it's madam "One Chance".They are falling back in line one by one. Ibos just dont understand the word "loyalty". Gej is now understanding how transient life is. The drummers are packing their equipments small small to go to the new celebrant 's house. Sad!!

Ephemmm:
In the Wailers' voice - she is an hypocrite.

or

This is another handiwork of Tinubu


Forgetting that no matter how long lie has traveled, truth will overcome it within few minutes.

socialmediaman:


This is a sober reflection. She regrets joining the GEJ Government because she found herself encircled in the web of corruption, having to cover up and make excuses for the corrupt practices of your hero and his powerful cabals. This brought disdain for her eventually from Nigerians and that's her regret! That woman could have lifted this nation with her economic prowess had she served in a government as the present where accountability and prudence is the watch word. Look at Kaichukwu now being a potential icon if he does a great job in Nigeria's oil industry.

Lesson: Never involve yourself with unrepentant criminals like PDP cabals, free yourself from their claws while you still have a chance. The only thing they know is how to cheat and to do this successfully, they deploy the best brains like Okonjo Iweala by buying their conscience with money.

That was a very gross and unambiguous indictment of the administration she was part of and GEJ in particular...

Fortunately, she left out the part she played. We know today that the NNPC lost billions of dollars not because our own money manager, finance minister and economic coordinator kept tab or was paying attention to our earnings and savings, it was because SLS did. She admitted that $10 billion was missing so what if SLS wasn't aware and didn't speak up, would she have said anything?

Is she saying she didn't know anything about all the zero due process and illegal funds she released and also the billions we lost because she was granting import waivers to cronies left and right?





They do this to look sane and clean after the fact, but unfortunately for them, they are still part of the odious and corrupt history they left behind..




The rest of Nigeria have moved on, even Jonathan's own Ijaw people have moved on and in many cases even questioning and ridiculing Jonathan's presidency and corrupt and incompetent. The folks you are talking about sadly are not interested in Nigeria, her progress and or unity, their only concern and love for GEJ is based on their primitive and pedestrian tribal, selfish, self centered and bigoted ways.

They too tribally distracted and necessarily and dangerously paranoid to function and lovingly co exist with the rest of Nigeria..

AuntySusan:


but regretted allegations of corruption directed at her after leaving office.

To my understanding, she means that she shouldn't have taken the appointment if she knew that the people won't appreciate her efforts rather they're making allegations and counter allegations to damage her reputation

But she accepted the appointment anyway because according to her ' we have to fight corruption ourselves'

realborn:
Two key acknowledgements deduced from the article:

1. She affirmed that once the leader takes decisive actions in deference to one sector, the message is felt across others - "body language"

2. She hinted that her returning to the government the second time may have been 'unwisely'. Somehow smirked of innate regrets with how she has been associated with an alleged overtly corrupt government of the time.


My thoughts:

I think it is only those who have decided to remain completely obdurate and adamant with their views that will not give an iota of support for the ongoing efforts of this government to abate corruption.

I strongly believe that in 4 years, the questions our friends of other nationalities will be asking us will change from "how come a feckless hat wearing leader is governing over intelligent Nigerians" to "wow, you guys are so lucky with the President you have. We wish we are as lucky as you"

onlinebizinfo:


It is a mistaken idea to think that corruption is being fought in Nigeria. Where are the special courts and the saint lawers/judges who will try corrupt leaders? How many of those people who Buhari ordered the seizure of their properties have been arrested and tried? Who are the corrupt people and where are they? Watch as the noise about corruption fight gradually fades. By the way, I think deeply and see things beyond the surface. To think that Buhari has gained Okonjo's support just because of that piece is a mistake. Don't you see that she has probably won your heart over and made you drop whatever negative thought you may have heard against her? Buhari might also feel same way, that's one thing she has achieved with that speech. Besides, not mature person will speak ill of his president in public. I do not see those words as coming from the heart.

omowolewa:
If anti corruption war is all about Buhari, then we are moving nowhere. The uprightness of Lot couldn't save Sodom.

Let's have. System that will naturally purge corruption out of Nigeria.
Now that we have gotten a right person.....

omenka:
Thanks a lot.

It is becoming all the more obvious those who imagine Jonathan deserves some monument erected in the middle of Abuja for his unparalleled leadership achievements and a Nobel Prize are simply those ethnic and religious bigots that are sorely bitter over his defeat by someone who "doesn't share such common identity with them."

Most of them are very poor mentally and materially and have indeed been the greatest victims of horrendous acts of the ruling class (just like the illiterate who lashed out at me for criticising Jonathan the other day, forgetting he has a "tell tale" dp on this profile).

Some of them, as seen here, are trying so hard to twist what NOI said because it doesn't conform to their twisted principle of "he-is-our-brother-liness". But she has said what she has said and we understand every single word.

I won't be surprised to see the Asaris and Briggs of this world take the last admin, and indeed Jonathan, to the cleaners tomorrow- that man was a total disaster!

Lalasticlala, had yesterday been friday, I'd have understood why this thread isn't on the fp yet. Shooo!!! Which kind sleep u com dey sleep today

TonyeBarcanista:

Whynotthetruth:



By the way, where do you think NOI is and what do you think she is doing? she is writing a book to tell the world that she is not responsible for the the documented crimes you are here claiming are nonexistent. Don't ask me how I know.
