No, this from Soludo is below the belt, on a fellow nwa afo. Although the response by Ngozi's media aide is irresponsible, Soludo shouldn't have taking it this far on an Ada igbo

tit:
Soludo was in PDP for ten years!
What did he achieve?
nothing.
Instead he left Nigerians with a 16 trillion naira debt.
which was paid for by the AMCON sovereign wealth fund.

DonDiego:


Did you say Bisi Onasanya? The same guy at First Bank that is so clueless that the once premier commercial bank has been floundering under his watch and playing catch up to much younger banks like Zenith and GTBank? Abeg no make person laugh. Onasanya that doesnt even have professional qualification in economics or finance worthy of note? Abegi.

FreeGlobe:

why should she resign when she's doing her job? She's not the minister of Petroleum, she's not EFCC. Why should she resign? Some of you gets me confused. Soludo blamed her for everything perhaps because she's coordinating minister or whatever but she's not in control of EFCC and Petroleum ministry!

LRNZH I still believe the 20 billion missing money like the chibok girls saga may be a scam sold by a clearly biased media. I think the government has not generally come out to refute these claims once and for all because of PR.

Flets:
Soludo desperately in need of a job and relevance.

Mumu!!! Always read before displaying your daftness.

Liar! Nigeria's economy is on the rise. Ask CNN and the likes.

barcanista:
Okonjo Iwaela is an overrated economist. All her economic policies makes me to question the kind of training that she received in Havard. I wonder whether her Phd was really earned or it is just another Chieftancy title (Like her Oga). She's a flop, though Soludo also flopped as CBN boss. I can't wait to see her return to World Bank, she will not be missed!!! Good riddance..

satope1:


And CNN knowa better than we living in Nigeria?

mikeapollo:


Ngozi is overrated because we Nigerians are mediocre in thinking! Just because somebody works as ad administrator in the World Bank, we/they think she is an expert in economic management. Her incompetence in Economics was exposed during the debate on the fuel subsidy debate. Sanusi was the only intellectual amongst all of them.

Interestingly, Soludo did not say anything against how Ngozi mismanaged the economy during Obasanjos era when Soludo himself was CBN governor.....this is why I refuse to take him, Oby, El-Rufai etc serious.
Give me Sanusi anytime and day.....a man onf Integrity and Courage!

ontheair:


Laughable at the professional qualification part! We still will not learn to stop emphasizing on the number of paper quifications, how many of those with Phds, Hazard business review certifications are being questioned daily?!
Perhaps, you should have stopped at your disappointment of his management ability you said above, that makes more sense of judgment subject to confirmation.
Lots of charlatans, uncommitted individual with
zero passion who believe garnering certificates, running out of the country to amass certificates instead of knowledge and experience believing they are experts and can spew all jargons in then name of being educated and with professional qualifications in a nation encouraging such sad trend, is dragging our nation into the wilderness of despair!
Respect.

Kimoni:


It's not just about the post, it's about giving a freehand to implement ur policies even if the elite class oppose cuz it's not beneficial to them. Recall how Obasanjo looked the other way when El-Rufai was cleaning Abuja up and so many houses belonging to politicians were demolished or how Ribadu's Efcc pursued the politicians so much he wan branded a tool in Obasanjo's witch hunting, or even Ngozi herself when she first started the debt cancellation discussions with the Paris Club and had to use a significant part of the external reserves to pay off the final loan?

Obasanjo protected them from the politicians and so they had the confidence to make the best decision not minding whose ox is gored.

In the current government, she has always been crying on how it the ratio of our current to capital expenditure is not sustenable and how it needs to be addressed but politicians and northern elites have kicked against the idea of any redundancy in government and guess what? Even Sanusi while in CBN made the same observations but guess what? Jona threw the solution into the thrash can cuz he couldn't face them.

I could go on and on. Truth is Jona is gutless!

DonDiego:


My dear, you seem to misunderstand the matter at hand. While paper qualification for its own sake isnt very useful in the professions, not also being adequately trained at the highest academic levels before entering a profession like banking in the modern world is a sure recipe for disaster. Go and look around the world. The biggest banks in all [/b]countries are manned by people with [b]impeccable academic and professional qualifications. I am still at a loss how out of the several highly educated and experienced brains in First Bank, Bisi Onasanya was the one chosen. Any wonder why FBN is where it is today. Excellent academic background merged with sound managerial ability will always lead to growth in any company.

omonnakoda:

We have not yet recovered from the last DISASTER in 2008. There is no specific qualification over and beyond working in the industry that qualifies one to be good at "BANKING" whatever banking maybe. There are several kinds of bank and the meaning changes with development and technology.
Commercial Banking is different from Investment Banking eg .Like I said the last disaster still haunts us today. Some bankers studied Mathematics,Finance,Economics,Business administration,IT Engineering,Operations Management,Accounting,Psychology,marketing,Law to name but a few.
The clam that not being traines at the highest academic levels is a sure recipe fr disaster is bizarre.Others may argue the converse being trained in such a way/place is a sure recipe for disaster. Banking is NOT engineering and there is no formula or science.What works in Germany may not work in France etc. Let us not be slaves to meaningless dogma Anyone with a university degree and inteligenc.


Nice try, bro. But you persuaded no one. Despite your long post you invariably agreed, despite originally unintending to do so, with me that a sound degree is compulsory requirement for anyone with dreams of executive management in the banking profession. And to further rain on your brave parade, lemme still re-emphasise that Onasanya does NOT even have any degree let alone one that is worthy. e aged
22year old can have a good career in Banking,anyone!

omonnakoda:


do not agree with you actually I just disagreed with your opinion.Nothing personal. No need for all that "rain on your parade" language.At some point one gets too old for that.I see it one. way you see it another. Disagreements are NOT PERSONAL ATTACKS requiring retribution.

I just don't agree with you THAT's ALL

DonDiego:


And pray, what is personal about a simple metaphor, a mere figure of speech in a little debate? Nigerians sha. I don't expect everyone to agree with me. But keep it within the boundaries of the issue abeg. I have myself tried to do so myself.

omonnakoda:
My point is ssimple Not having a specific kind of degree or training in specific places is not necessarily a recipe for disaster. In many cases people with such degrees have actually caused disaster.Quite the opposite to your hypothesis. That is what I disagree with. That is my view. I have no PARADE aand if I did you could not rain on it. Certainly you would not address me that way if we were debating face to face. I too would not address you that way.Not everyone here is an adolescent

DonDiego:


Your point is noted. But you just committed the same error that you are insinuating against me by imagining me to be an adolescent. Presumption can sometimes be an unforgiveable display of disrespect.

omonnakoda:
I do not assume you to be an adolescent and see no basis thus far for that claim but I believe you addressed me as one. I have adolescent children so I do not accept that .The fact that we are on the internet does not mean we cannot be courteous. a

Marvin67:
When two elephants fight the grass suffer. Please let's look at this from a neutral angle. While I agree that Fayemi's response was more professional and more matured, it is also important to note that Soludo simply spanked APC by saying it's plans were unrealistic, but at the same time he thrashed PDP by calling the government a failure and referring to the economic management team of madam is poor. That was an attack on madam.

Now to the issue, statistics are funny and I usually have problems with economists because they rely more on statistics than reality. I know for sure that Soludo is very wrong about his comment on Peter Obi. Anambrarians know that Peter Obi was not just a good governor but a very modest governor whose performance speaks out.

I also know that somehow Soludo gave us 25 banks out of which some were sick and eventually government had to spend money to bail out. I also recall that when madam Ngozi was insisting we save our excess crude money governor Amaechi and the governors forum vehemently kicked against it, and eventually we ended up sharing the money. I remember that under Soludo our inflation rate was around 13% but today it stands at a single digit of around 8%.

This is the same NOI that forbes rated as one of the most underatted achievers of 2015. This is the same Nigerian economy rated by the world bank and CNN as the third fastest growing for 2015. It would be wrong for Soludo to say madam was not part of his glory days as CBN governor. He has worked under two presidents while madam had worked under 3. I know madam's team would bring their reply and give us their own stats which would flaw Soludo's stats, again let's not forget that stats can be decieving.
