Last night (Thursday, 5th February, 2015), I watched "Quest Means Business" on CNN. Richard Quest spoke with Dr. Mrs Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, our Coordinating Minister of the Economy and Minister of Finance, and a Senior Fellow in a Washington-based Institute which seeks to "defend democracy".
As always, Dr. Okonjo-Iweala did us proud as she answered every question intelligently, eloquently, articulately and convincingly. I wish she were also our Minister of Defence, Minister of Information, Minister of Foreign Affairs....all at the same time! LOL!
But it is worrisome how the international community has been misled, misinformed and disinformed about Nigeria and the performance of President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, Ph.D., GCFR, regarding the war against Boko Haram's jihadist Islamist terrorism. The American chap who was interviewed by Richard Quest said that he is told by those he speaks with in Nigeria that things are "very dark" or something to that effect. His impression from these folks is that things are very gloomy. Even while acknowledging the failure of the international community to take the threat of Boko Haram as seriously as that of ISIS, he still blamed President Jonathan for nor containing Boko Haram. Any wonder who he speaks to in Nigeria? Are we living in the same Nigeria with those folks? If I were resident elsewhere, I probably will also believe that Nigeria is actually what Alhaji Lai Mohammed, Nasir El Rufai and Sahara "Reporters" and their ilk say it is.
The damage that the All Progressives Congress has done to Nigeria through its massive propaganda machinery is unspeakable.
But one cannot sow the wind and expect not to reap the whirlwind.
Selah!
NIGERIA DI FURE!
