Start investigating the $20 plus billion stolen from NNPC treasury acct. Sure there must be paper trail in CBN and if you follow the money it will lead you to GEJ corrupt deep pocket and those of his puppets in d senate who issued a bogus report after money don rub hands!!!

Look at other sensible, blessed LIBers congratulating him and expressing their well wishes, why must you open that your accursed, filthy, worm ridden, Bastard mouth to speak negativity into every situation?!? This really pains me because feather brained, air-headed, backward and personally useless idiots like you are our biggest problem AS A COUNTRY. Here is a new man, a man with strong credentials and a highly acclaimed professional, EVEN BEFORE CBN appointment!!! Yet for NO APPARENT REASON, a nonentity Bastard mentally defunct stool like yourself will just decide from the blues to predict gloom and doom!!! If you knew in detail the adverse effect high level corruption has on countless innocent Nigerians, both young and old, you will at least excercise caution in predicting it! OR ARE YOU WISER than EVERYONE ELSE extending warm regards??? Unless you experience and demonstrate a change of heart, Animals like you, Jenyking Ekemezie, have NOTHING to contribute to the future of our country. Worthless Dung.

Congrat sir

Congregation sir, e no easy to be dia. May God help u to formulate good policies that will bring about rapid development and full employment level.
Please and please make sure u continue with any policy of Sanusi that u know and know very well that will bring about development.
Finally sir, to be a CBN gov in Nigeria, u must be bold as a lion. Be very careful of our politicians, they don't want equilibrium in the sharing of national cake.all they know is to dinner with corruption and expose the active labour force to full level of unemployment.

Mr. Godwin Emefiele remember, DIARIS GOD OO and name only woka come CBN?
