Business / Afdb Battles: Targeting An African Man Or An African Bank? by Oskam: 12:47pm On Jun 05, 2020

Dr Akinwumi Adesina was probably more known for working with rural agricultural communities than scandal. Now, as President of the African Development Bank (AfDB), he may be punch ball of a global political agenda pitting the US against African leaders, and maybe China.

Since last month, Dr Adesina has been fighting allegations of inappropriate acts that could ruin his career and roil a near-certain unopposed re-election this August. But his stay, or going, could punctuate relations between Africa and the US.

On Tuesday, some observers told The EastAfrican the impasse over the credibility of the Bank’s President could ruin more than his career.

“The leadership crisis at the AfDB is too important to ignore, especially at this time when the lender is raising funds to shore up its capital base for onward lending to African countries, many of which are battling debt crisis and the corona pandemic,” Dr Peter Mwencha, a specialist in international political economy and CEO of the International Relations Society of Kenya said, referring to the Bank’s bid to raise more than $100 billion from shareholders.

“From a geopolitical perspective, this issue has brought up concerns about allowing foreigners an outsized stake in African affairs. Africans are questioning why foreigners should have such a huge influence in such an important African institution,” he added, but challenged African leaders to consider raising their shareholding of the Bank.

Here is how: As Nigeria’s Agriculture minister, Dr Adesina was named Forbes Person of the Year in 2013, for ‘revolutionising’ agricultural policies in his country.

There had been no scandal against him since he took over as President AfDB in 2015. In fact, he has led the institution, formed in 1964, on a campaign to steer clear of fossil fuel projects, dumping all dirty coal-related funding and instead focusing on powering rural homes using renewable energy.

That was until January this year when anonymous employees of the bank wrote to some directors alleging Dr Adesina had overreached his hand, awarding contracts to his cronies and relatives as well as using the position to enhance his personal stature.

AfDB's vice president envisions EU-like African integration
When more allegations, anonymously, emerged in April about how he had paid employees who resigned mysteriously, the AfDB board endorsed an internal audit.

That committee returned a report suggesting there had been no evidence linking Dr Adesina to the allegations.

But the US government wasn’t satisfied so Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin wrote a letter rejecting the results of the internal audit.

He argued the dismissal of all allegations against Dr Adesina will “tarnish the reputation of the institution,” according to a May 28 letter to the AfDB board.

One employee of the Bank, who wished to remain anonymous told the The EastAfrican AfDB has witnessed high profile resignations in the past five years, with the officials being paid handsome severance packages suspected to buy their silence. Dr Adesina denies any wrong doings.

But the US stance, to have Dr Adesina re-investigated, has seen African leaders, including Nigeria where he comes from rally behind their man.

Akinwumi Adesina: Why the US is targeting a flamboyant Nigerian ...
Nigerian ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo rallied more than a dozen other former leaders to endorse an open letter to Washington, warning the stance would divert the Bank’s attention to the Covid-19 pandemic.

“At this critical time that Africa is battling with Covid-19, the Bank and its President should not be distracted,” Mr Obasanjo argued in a letter that was also signed by Mr Jakaya Kikwete, Mr Goodluck Jonathan, Mr Joachim Chissano, Ms Ellen-Johnson Sirleaf, Ms Joyce Banda, Mr Tandja Mamadou and several other leaders.

While the leaders called for respect for protocol, they raised a pan-African issue, indicating the Bank was the most important institution on the continent and that it was “the pride of Africa.

All African countries are members of the Bank, but it also has 27 members from countries outside the continent. It, however, lends exclusively to Africa.

Nigeria and the US are the biggest AfDB shareholders. The two command a 15 per cent share combined, but Nigeria has 9.1 per cent in the institution formed 55 years ago.

Fabiola and Mark Ronald’s wedding is said to have taken place before she was invited to host AFRIMMA Awards 2018 and before she got to launch her own Podcast on her YouTube channel.

Nairaland / General / Church Where Congregation Consumes Alcohol LIVE During Service by Oskam: 2:32pm On Jun 26, 2018

A church in South Africa is turning heads over its unorthodox style
Gabola Church allows its members who congregate at a Tavern to take alcohol
The Bishop, Tsietsi Makiti, baptizes the fast growing members with alcohol of their choice
Gabola is the Tswana word for drinking
A church in South Africa has rewritten and redefined what a ‘standard church’ ought to look like, behave and preach.

The fastest rising Gabola Church in South Africa situated south of Johannesburg allows its members who congregate at a Tavern to take alcohol as they worship God and are baptized with a brand of alcohol of their choice.

Gabola Church in South Africa has been making headlines since it publically admitted that alcohol consumption is not a sin as it is considered by a majority of the Christian faithful.

In fact, alcohol flows freely during church sermons.



The latest from the church lead by the founder Bishop Tsietsi Makiti, has it that every other person who drinks alcohol is an automatic member of the church.
According to the Bishop, the church, which was started baout three years has attracted a huge membership from the general public.

Members of the church do not give offering, instead, they are encouraged to buy alcohol from a store inside the church.



While speaking to the Daily Sun, the church’s founder Bishop Tsietsi Makiti (52) stated that his church was two months old but has over 500 members and 2000 baptized.
“If you drink beer, you get baptised in beer. The same goes for those who drink cider and other alcoholic beverages,” said Makiti

Wearing his cleric’s hat with a bold cross stitched in gold on the front,Makiti stated that the church accommodates people who are not welcome at other churches.

He says that his church was created to offer refuge for drunkards who were not accepted and condemned by mainstream churches.

“This is where those labelled ‘drunkards’ by other churches are welcome..

Here, we drink in public and praise the Lord at the same time. This is not a joke … this is a space for people to come together in God’s name without being ashamed of being drinkers…



All we do is drink, praise and appreciate God at the same time. We don’t promise anyone magic.

We are only saying this is an environment where one can drink without being judged at all,” he added.

On why there were only men in the church, Makiti stated that it was just a matter of time.

“Women are also not allowed because we have men who are drinking, and we cannot have instances where some of them start troubling these women…

We will allow women at a later stage, once our [male] congregants have been well prepared..



Wherever we hold our services, we disallow children from buying alcohol, even if they are sent by their parents; we send them back,” said Makiti.

The Bishop added that he had received many invitations to start a similar church all pover South Africa.

“We have been overwhelmed with invitations from across the country. People want us to come and launch Gabola Church. We are going to the North West soon, as well as other provinces.”



The Bishop says they do not rely on donors to run the church but sales from the alcoholic drinks.

It is clear that Gabola church will continue to grow as most of its members feel accepted and appreciated with every drunk being considered a member of the church.

According to the Bishop, in order to become a full member of the church, all you have to do is to be a consumer of any alcoholic drink.

The bishop says he will welcome you with a bottle of beer in one hand and Bible on the other hand.

“If you drink a beer, then you will be baptized with beer,” Bishop Makiti says.
