Ioannes:


no need to throw tantrums. just counter my arguments intelligently.

in case you don't know, she IS the cause of our current economic crisis. she and her hat wearing boss.

grandstar:
155 to 230 is a loss of 75 within 4yrs.

In 8months under this administration, it has moved from 230 to 300 which is 70.

It never reached 230. It wad 220 st worst

sinistermind:
Whether una like am or not, she's the Best. It's only the likes of Soludo n Oby Ezekwesili that can be compared with her. If you don't like it kindly slit your wrist.

hush15:



Look, frankly speaking, am part of the many Nigerians who believe she was and is still the best finance Minister naija ever had yet.

Why? That's because she had the affluence and intelligence to counter the challenges of our financial management issues in Nigerian. If when she left, and everything is as it is today under Buhari, it's not because those problems weren't they but she contained the problems without blaming, blaming and blaming who and whatever. There was even surplus to share around by Dansuki, going by what this government is saying.

Rather than this government should work on generating funds to run their own government, they depending on the last administration, blaming and maiming. Thinking the wealth of the nation is based on the number of crude they sold. This even show further incompetence for them to depend on last administration whether there was surplus or excess. We have leaders in other part of the world take nations that are down to even a break even point, not to mention attain a global world status.
The best the present government can think now is to rob their own citizen through double taxation to fund the luxuries. No problem, if anybody is seeking financial assistance and I can render, the person should come to my place and collect but paying into account and they will charge me, forget it.... lol

My point is, Okonjo Iweala contributed to Nigerian economy greatly, truth be told amidst the prevailing challenges of that time compared to what we have now. Her affluence and insight helped and that still speaks for her outside government, if not it would not be so.

Hate her or like her, she is the best naija ever had yet.

Ioannes:


yeah you forgot to factor in crude oil prices of both periods. do that bro. don't forget that crude oil is our main if not only export that sustains this nation.

oh by the way, it did reach #230 and I know this for a fact.

besides if she was that good should we have sustained such loss?

naijaboy756:
receive sense. So she made oil $28. Thought your god said he will stabilize oil price and make N1=1$.... Scammers

ddeola:
RUBBISH ! She ruined the economy !

dmostcheerful:
time to wail....
oya zombies food don land.

Ioannes:


#sigh. so many babies here.

did she make crude oil $28? No.

when crude oil was $120 what did she do with it?

please if you don't have anything intelligent to say you guys should stop quoting me please.

BabaO2:
Richard Quest is questionable character reporter. He used to be a drug addict. It is cheap and easy to be paid few thousand dollars with a dinner with Iweala to make him cringe.

naijaboy756:
if na we talk am una go say na wailer. The obvious was restated by Quest/CNN... It is simply the truth...

Ioannes:


and CNN always says the truth right? because they are white?

do you know that CNN portrays Africa as a continent riddled with disease, poverty and wars and nothing good happens in Africa?

I guess you didn't know that.

so if CNN tells the world that Nigerians are all well fed you will believe even though your stomach is rumbling with chronic hunger?

you need to lose that white-is-superior mentality.

shopisky:
"Ngozi Okonjo- Iweala was the best Finance Minister Nigeria ever had" -- Richard Quest CNN. Richard Quest made this statement after an interview yesternight on Economy of Oil producing countries.
Do you believe him?

EternalTruths:

You see why some of you fail exams

Did I wish any NL member harm.? No

Did I wish the tribe of any NL member harm.? No

Just point out the word that breaks the rule.

You broke rule 2 by calling me an oaf

If the mod bans you for it, you start complaining

Ioannes:


while I agree that the budget can still take more cuts to it yet I want you to understand that comparing Jonathan's budget and this budget is counter productive because most of you hardly take into consideration the fact that the naira has dropped significantly against the dollar.

the budget has not even been presented yet (I learnt the president has withdrawn it officially for amendment), yet you want to judge its performance to one that has already been executed and failed in all ramifications.

why don't you guys wait and let's see the implementation before we condemn it.

Ioannes:


actually only a low IQ person will be bambozzled by the supposed facts and figures which we all know were written by some yeye analyst in an office in New York, who probably doesn't even know where Nigeria is on the world map.

if she did so well why are there more Nigerian youths unemployed than ever before, so much so that even tanoids and wailers are waiting anxiously for Baba's promise of #5,000 for their jobless ass*?

if she did so well, why are we uncovering monumental corruption in almost every sector of our economy which she obviously mismanaged?

if she did so well where is the money she saved from selling crude oil at $120/barrel for years?

giving express or tacit support for evil is the same as sharing in the evil and its consequences.

naijaboy756:
taaaaaa stop displaying your ignorance here. When she was shouting let's save save save, is it not your gods like Amaechi and Fashola that said share the money. Oya go into the childrens room. Do it now!

TRUTHTOPOWER:
I don't expect a better assessment from colonial racists. anyone doing their colonial bidding was good. So was Mobutu Seseseko!

gunuvi:
Yes, but it takes a high IQ person to understand. She tried her best and we can only compare her with the present minister after the later tenure but for now the present minister seems completely confused and clueless. May God help her.

lekwas:
Richard Quest must be a GOAT for making that assertion. Is it because NOI was a scion of the international financial cult that he is saying that or is it on the basis of her performance as a minister of finance?

The west should keep away from our affairs. We as a people have come of age and should be able to decide how we want to run our affairs. If we fail, allow us to learn from our mistakes and decide on the path that resonates with our collextive aspirations.

We do not have to follow their blue print for development because it is forever laced with wrong motives and intention to exploit.

martineverest:
sorry bro, your IQ is the lowest Av ever seen in nairaland...so u didn't realize that she was sent from IMF/world bank to destroy our economy.

) she started with 2012 subsidy removal, which later backfired. She came back with new strategy, which later worked.

1)She started with rebasing of the economy to give us hope that the economy is booming.
2) as soon as the oil price started falling, she devalued the naira, so as to kill the economy further.

Ioannes:


won't be replying you again. come back in 50 years time when you have grown a brain.

mekaboy:


The controversy surrounding the budget even shows lack of professionalism on the part of the current finance minister, budget and plannig and president .

naijaboy756:
like you forgot to take your drugs last night. Is it not PMB that has removed subsidy? Gosh!!!

naijaboy756:
for saying the truth, he is now a drug addidct... Lmao.

martineverest:
yaba left customer. When gej removed subsidy, petrol was #130. Who would have been able to afford that, compared to Buhari's #87
