nigboy:

This is a rumor. Read on ,
The office of the Minister of Finance yesterday denied rumours making the rounds in Abuja that the Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala had resigned.

At about 1 pm on Friday, the rumour mill in Abuja was awash with the story that she had resigned. Following frantic calls made to the office to know the true situation of things, the minster’s Senior Special Assistant on Information and Communication, Mr Paul Nwabuikwu, denied the rumour which was attributed to an online medium.

Paul Nwabuikwu in a statement said: “It has been brought to our notice that an online website is alleging that Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, the Coordinating Minister for the Economy and Minister of Finance, has resigned her position. The information is completely false and without foundation.”

He attributed the rumour to what he called “the ongoing orchestrated campaign by entrenched interests and corrupt groups working against more transparent and improved governance in the country.”

The obvious intention of the rumour, he said, “is to distract Dr Okonjo-Iweala from contributing to the realisation of the vision of President Goodluck Jonathan and his administration for sustainable economic growth in Nigeria. This intention will not be achieved because Dr Okonjo-Iweala will not be distracted.”

About Wazobia Report

Once upon a time, in a land beyond beyond, a group of smart Nigerians came together and started their own newspaper.

They were tired of reading silly stories in the national dailies; they knew there had to be a better way.

Their Eureka moment came one day, when gathered under an Apple tree, they saw a burning bush and heard a thundering voice from above.

The voice said to them, “What are you kids doing under my Apple tree?”

The voice belonged to the farmer who owned the Apple tree.

And so it was that a few friends got the inspiration to tell the news like it’s never been told before.

And it had absolutely nothing to do with the farmer whose bush they burnt for laughs.

Wazobiareport is a satirical website.

Our stories, views, opinions, reports, articles, etc etc, are merely spoofs.

Anything we publish is for entertainment purpose and not meant to be taken as factual.

Such a shame, even aunty Ngozi can't help Nigeria.

People dont resign in nigeria.
Even if they r.a.pe.d, taped it with camera, stole,lied,cheated and disgraced everyone they never.
There's no such dignity in any nigerian. (to resign for who naa? ?)

First of all, is the financial mess that is nigeria her fault?
this story is garbage.

Many Nigerians are not used to satire in any form, they take everything they read on the internet as gospel truth. You can see the evidence on this thread despite the fact that people have highlighted the report as humour.

I love this woman, that is just no 1, that shows how disciplined she is.
if truly this story is true anyway anything can happen in nigeria.

You guys go give person Heart Attack o! Am sure our good ole "Joe" must have fainted at the news. Just hope the SSS dosent show up on Nairaland o

and if u still havent gotten it by now,

[size=22pt]ITS A JOKE![/b]size]

[b]YOURE IN THE JOKE SECTION!

THE Poster should be whipped publicly,

This is serious, if Dr Ngozi will run 4 jst seeing and going through the Federation Account, then Nigeria is in a big mess. What she did is the best before she wil soil her name and years of hard work with EFCC runing after her. My dear Dr. Pls run 4ur life i am in support.
