A barrel of crude oil selling at $120 under your tenure doesn't make you the best. If anything, Richard Quest should ask how she managed our unprecedented oil boom as finance minister.

The best finance minister Nigeria ever had was Late Chief Obafemi Awolowo. Under him, Nigeria was able to save and progress during wartime. Under him, they remitted revenues accrued to former Eastern Nigeria after the war. Quote me wrong!

Flets:
That goes without saying. All economic indices pointing upwards took a downward turn the minute she left.

The zombies believe the confused Kemi Adeosun is better but that is the case in their airheads

Nigeria needs NOI at this time more than ever. No matter how much we argue, we have no economic direction at the moment and currently headed for doom.

Illiteracy seem to be our biggest problem otherwise the zombies amongst us cannot be hailing mediocrity in the face of an economic disaster.

It's funny the zombies have been programmed to blame crude oil prices for our economic woes while there are a million things that could be done to resuscitate our economy.

Can someone tell me in clear this govt's efforts at economy diversification.

yes, charging 50 naira from bank holders lol

mekaboy:
I know she did nothing and destroyed our economy, but I think I prefer the economy she was destroying then to what we have now.

am sorry, but you aren't making much sense.

you prefer an economy that was looted to the bone to one that is being placed on life and being revived gradually?

I'm sure you really didn't mean that.

CharlyNick:
APC ers won't like this News

You mean Zombies bah?

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 for evil is the same as sharing in the evil and its consequences.

valid point @ emboldened

Flets:


She was trying to grow the reserves but amaechi and fashola preferred it shared

She was the brain behind the agricultural sector overhaul.

She ed the SMEs through various programs

She grew Nigeria's FDI to Africa's greatest

What exactly were you ranting about?

I guess you expected me to believe you and disregard Richard Quest. You are a joke.

I disagree with you bro.

To be candid, if NOI is still the minister of finance there is nothing she can do to increase the FDR. that the country depends on oil for revenue and u know how bad oil price is in the market.

She was unfortunate to be minister in one of the most corrupt istration in our history, she got caught up in it.

you are absolutely and totally correct sir and I concur with you.

those were leaders. not these leaches we have now, who sucked the life blood out of our nation.

Because, richard quest is a nigerian so he knows how okonjo handled the economy.

Trash

Ofcourse na! If she was in charge we would never be where we are now with confused people at the helm of affairs.

how did he know, when he is not even a nigeria

And what are those million things. You are just complaining, come up with one out of those million things you know that can be done to make it better.

NOI came up with sound policies and helped to keep the economy at a stable level at least but she is no longer there and we have to stand behind this new finance minister. I believe with time she would come through. There are many things going on in the background that we haven't heard or seen. So therefore, it would be brought to our notice in the fullness of time.

I'm sure you really didn't mean that.

That economy that was looted to the bone sold oil up to $100 a barrel and drove 2015 cars and spent about 700m on feeding in aso rock.

This economy that is on life is selling oil below $30 a barrel and want to drive 2016 prado jeeps and spend 1.7 billion feeding aso rock. Which do you prefer?

funkyibodude:
Watch how APC zombies would come in here and claim that Richard Quest was bribed by some PDP elements to make that statement

Idrismusty97:

she was a white supremacist plant and puppeteer. she was brought in to destabilize the economy of the nation, which she did perfectly well. that was why she given award and also rewarded with a job over there. go and read "the confessions of an economic hitman" and you will understand.

Hahahhaha funny guy. Save and progress during war time. Guy shot up joor

Richard Quest is a liar, I hope he meant the irony of what he said.

That was Richard Quest opinion, in my own opinion, she was the worst thing that ever happened to this country.

Quote me wrong and get lassa fever.

I've always thought Richard and others at CNN are credible journalists, but since they've start displaying their folly, I now wonder why most people are ditching CNN for Aljazeera, because it's one thing to face the reality and it's another thing to be sentimental.

God punish CNN

True talk. Void of sentiment

.

This shameless lie is stale. Prof soludo asked the witch these questions as regards the above. She never answered. She went dumb till date.



I hereby challenge your attempt to blame others for not saving for the rainy day. It is not a virtue when you are quick to appropriate all the credit when things are going well, but shift the blame when they go wrong. You blame the state governors— who, according to you, have taken the Federal Government to the Supreme Court—not that a Supreme Court judgment forced your hands. For your information, the governors have never agreed to savings and always threatened court action even under Obasanjo. Why did we save under Obasanjo but not under Jonathan? Two keywords explain it: leadership and integrity. Governor Amaechi said the governors insisted on sharing the funds because they found out that you were illegally fiddling with the savings. So, as Nigerians still wonder, if billions of dollars are now ‘missing’ under your nose, why should governors trust you to keep their money? Do the states that have taken the federal government to the Supreme Court and refused to save also include the PDP governors—who are in the majority? If so, then it is fatal: even governors of your own party, PDP, do not trust you to keep their money! Furthermore, did the governors also stop the Federal Government from saving part of its share? If you ran a surplus budget at the Federal level, you would have had credibility to blame others or to say they did not listen to your advice. The key point is that since you were running huge deficits yourself, it was also in your own interest to share the ECA. You did not show leadership or credibility, full stop!
