Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, a former Minister of Finance has said former president Goodluck Jonathan acknowledged that he did not know economics, but had a clear direction of where he wanted to take Nigeria to.

This is contained in her recently-released book, Fighting Corruption is Dangerous.

Okonjo-Iweala narrated how she joined Jonathan’s team, after rejecting the same offer from the Musa Yar’Adua government.

After considering the offer for a while, she made up her mind, with the support of her family and boss at the World Bank, Robert Zoellick.

“I traveled to Nigeria to see the President, and my youngest brother, ChiChi, drove me to the Villa (the official office and residence of Nigerian presidents) for that definitive meeting,” she wrote.

“Arriving at the residence gate, I suddenly felt nervous about the enormity of what I might be signing on to. My brother noticed my unease and parked the car in a corner, and we prayed for God’s wisdom and guidance.

“At that point, I was almost hopeful that the President might not agree with the issues I would bring up and it would be over. But the meeting went well. President Jonathan was gracious. He listened carefully to all I had to say.

“We had a good discussion on the economy, and even though he kept saying he did not know economics, he was clear on the direction he wanted to take the country.

“We went over my terms of reference, including the role I would assume as Coordinating Minister of the Economy (CME), as he wanted it done. He agreed to a regular bilateral meeting at least once a week and accessibility at other times when it might be needed,” she said.

Why will i deceive anyone.

There's nothing wrong in admitting you're not good at something, then looking for professionals to handle such cases.
It takes a humble man...

Aunty ngozi no amount of story books can erase the fact that your textbook economics failed us.


1)You took over an economy worth 47billion dollars with crude oil at 100-140 per barrel you but u left Nigeria poorer than you met it.

2) abacha repatriated funds was re-loot by your cronies.


3)you started borrowing to pay salaries when crude was at 78$ per barrel.madam headgear we Don't need soothsayer to tell us that you will auction Nigeria for sale in the hands of your white paymasters when crude oil prices was at 18$ to 45$ for 2years.

4) under your watch dasuki Turned himself to ATM dispensing cash to political cronies.

5) ur textbook economies was only good on paper just like your master gej commission 2ND Niger bridge on paper.

6) Nigeria earned 51trillion dollars out of 96trillions of Nigeria oil savings yet.
U left a depleted foreign reserve and debts.


If buhari failed with foreign reserve at 47billions dollars while crude oil is lingering between 40-70 dollars per barrel within six months.

Me and my entire household will vote for him coming election .and will canvass vote for him in alimosho local government .
The local govt will highest registered voters in Nigeria.



Wailers and ipobpigs can quote me . I will not dignify them with a dot as response .

She wrote a book.

The media is dissecting all the details in the book and providing all the tidbits because most Nigerians would certainly not read the book. It will take months for the media to be through the book comprehensively. So if you're tired of all the reveals, stop commenting on the threads about her book.
