She is a blessing to this world, constantly raising the bar for young ladies. Congratulations to her on her new role as the Director General for WTO, I’m so proud of her

A very powerful talk by a talented economist, who addresses corruption objectively. A role model whose accomplishments are highly admirable.

I can t stop listening to this great woman. she is indeed an Inspirator

"And the music has to be good!" You go, sista!

Great talk from a great woman. Unfortunately, her type is in short supply making Nigerian youth bereft of mentors.God bless Nigeria.

Just imagine if she was president of Nigeria for just 4 years.

The reason she will only be President of Nigeria in our wishes is because Nigerians are an abused wife that will continuously choose to stay with an abused husband rather than a proven honest man. Until Nigerians receive long therapy to help them realise they are strong and that their husband is nothing without them, people like Ngozi will never be President of Nigeria. We will keep wishing when we have the power to take action.

Tribalism won't let him be a president in a country like Nigeria.

When I say I am proud of Nigeria and Africa, I know what I have seen in the valley from the mountain top

You have made us really proud. May our Lord God guide all your steps whilst at your new big job. Keep shining. You are so so smart and confident. Blessings.

I am here today 1st March 2021, the woman inspires me.

Thanks Madam for all that you did for Nigeria. Although tribalism will not let them acknowledge all that you did , fear not because posterity will bear you witness. History will certainly vindicate you! May you live long!

18:55 “We must take personal responsibility.” We look for others to blame and want to hold them accountable instead of holding ourselves accountable and investing our energy wisely. It’s easier to point the finger “Because Looking At Me ain’t Easy,” (Ms. Melodie, KRS ONE’s wife). This applies to any/all conflict/friction we encounter.

I have watched a number of these talks and have been wondering if the (African) speakers have been preaching to the choir. How many people in Africa have access to the internet? How about translate and broadcast in local languages? People need to hear these stories, not only the ‘privileged literates’. Hopefully, they figure out a way to spread the message. As well, I have a feeling speakers steer clear of aspects of our culture that are partly responsible for corruption/capital flight. We don’t love people (don’t get me wrong!). We love our family and friends, and even that, with a caveat. We want to feel important, but in a bad way. We amass wealth and expect others to beg for favours. If we loved people, we would work towards the betterment for our community and the society as a whole. When we do that, our family and friends also benefit. There is also a culture of misplaced priorities. We want recognition and respect, not necessarily earn it. We are so hung up on status: Do you know who I am? On the topic of corrupt Profs, in an ideal world, their focus should be on the success of their students. After all, schools should be proud of their students’ achievements. Instead they want instant gratification.

Akpene Maxwella English is the official language of many African countries (English and French) . In my country alone we have over 250 languages and dialects. Translating to local languages... not very feasible. As to how many people have access to the internet, google it. The results will amaze you. The people engaged in corruption have access to the internet. I do agree with you on one thing though, we seem to lack heart. We need to love each other more than we do.

Eshter k! I disagree with you on the infeasible issue though. English/French is/are the official languages, thanks to our colonial masters, but there are equally lots of FM radio stations that broadcast in local dialects/languages. Access to the internet is concentrated in cities (where the literates reside). The reality is that is where the jobs are. The local stations can relay important messages such as this to their listeners.Telling ourselves something cannot be done is a defeatist attitude, which doesn't help us.

THE BEAST AND THE 2014 BUDGET The Ministry of Works wants to buy desktop computers at a unit cost of N1m while under the same government; the Ministry of Education is willing to spend N2m per unit cost and ready to pay N30m for only 15 computers. All it would have taken the Ministry of Finance was to ask for computer specifications and search for prices online. The country would have been saved from this stupidly over-inflated budget. Next on our budget of abracadabra is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Ministry plans to buy and service generators in some foreign missions including England. Who uses generators in England, I dare ask? As if that is not absurd enough, the Ministry headquarters will spend a whopping N201.7m on fumigation and cleaning services as if we want to sanitise the entire planet. I’ve been to many of our foreign missions and they all groan under the effect of inadequate funding for the right purposes. How come we have such stupendous money to waste and yet Nigeria is being chased out of properties as it happened a few years ago in Ghana? The same Ministry intends to purchase and freight 40 representational cars abroad at a dizzying cost of N834.4 Million. Where will these cars be purchased? Why can’t these cars be purchased at source? Certainly different countries have different specifications unlike Nigeria where all manner of specifications can be dumped on us. Now the State House in Abuja plans to build a VIP hospital wing at a cost of N705 Million only. Is it not strangely catastrophic that a government that says it cares for the general well-being of the people would budget N328 Million for the massive refurbishment required at the Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital, Ile-Ife; N310 Million for that of University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital; N89 Million for the NOMA Children’s Hospital in Sokoto and not a kobo on the Institute of Child Health, University of Benin Teaching Hospital but be willing to spend such humongous amount on VIP’s at the State House? It presupposes that the less than 200 VIPs in the State House are more important than millions of citizens expected to access those strategic institutions. These VIPs already have access to air evacuation and would always fly abroad, anyway, at the slightest headache. General maintenance in the State House is put at N1.19 Billion for the year. I’m mostly troubled about our Defence and Security Budget for a nation under incredible siege from all manner of malevolent forces. The 2014 budget looks like a pitiable joke when you consider the allocations of N23.6 Billion as stipend and remuneration to 30,000 Niger Delta Militants; N35.4 Billion for the reintegration of Transformed Ex-militants and juxtapose that with the total capital budget for the Nigerian Army put at a paltry N4.8 Billion only. Are we serious? The total capital budget for the Ministry of Defence, comprising of Army, Navy and Air Force is N34.2 Billion only. The most disastrous is the allocation to our beleaguered and ill-equipped Police for which its total capital budget is a miserable N6.79 Billion only. What we must also factor in is the fact that this is a mere budgetary allocation. Most of the money will never arrive at its destination in peace but in pieces. Those who understand the system would waylay them as usual and await the next budget. Is it any wonder that our security forces are dangerously exposed to scurrilous attacks and incurably traumatised by extreme low-esteem? The lack of sensitivity to capital projects is heavily amplified when you check the recurrent allocations in the following sectors. The Interior Ministry is proud to spend N144.7 Billion in recurrent and only N6.29 Billion on capital. Police formation and commands will spend N285.5 Billion in recurrent and N6.79 Billion on capital. I’m seriously wondering why the Ministry of Education gets so much yet nothing improves in our schools. In 2014, it will spend N443.9 Billion in recurrent and N49.5 Billion on capital. Health would spend N216.4 Billion in recurrent and N46.3 Billion on capital. The binge continues in the Ministry of Water Resources (I often wonder who receives water directly from government sources) where N40.4 Million would be doled out as welfare packages to God-knows-who. And this is just for the headquarters alone to spend as it likes. Such welfare packages litter everywhere in government spending of public funds. Please, what are we celebrating that N71.6 Million would be spent on anniversaries and celebrations? Why can’t we simply re-order our priorities? - Kenny Olaoba BOBDEE

Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala is one of the spoilers of Nigeria's economy. As a co-ordinated chairman of the Nigerian economy during Jonathan's regime, she was very corrupt, she lies a lot about reviving the economy and job creation. She was playing kalukalu (games) as an approach to job creation. She's a very bad leader, she supposes to be put to Jail. Let her publicly apologize to Nigerian for ruined the economy. Let her kept quiet about corruption and remain in her husband's house.

Uka John don’t mind idiots, Yes NOI was a bad leader and worked as a double finance minister in Nigeria, worked at World bank, and currently working in so many ways helping Africa and the world at large, Abiodun Ngozi can never be like Obafemi Awolowo who gave the IGBO’s only £20 no matter how many millions of Money they have in their accounts after the civil war ended. And mind you IGBO’s were controlling every sector of Nigerian, be it Administration, civil service, business etc, yet they were treated that way, but today IGBO’s boost the highest per capita income in Nigeria. Ngozi was not raised with a fraudulent money, her parents are academically sound and professors in their profession. Please Abiodun count single scam she has done and the one your present Vice President is doing with trAder money, the same trAder money that our First Lady said that it has failed woefully?
