    She will destroy their efforts-this woman is a glorified incompetent pseudo professional. I wonder how much of the over $3billion she stole she used to induce someone at Lazard.
    Goodluck!

  21. Congratulations Mrs Iweala
    Your professional pedigree has always been exceptional what I think you needed in addition was the capacity to function under distraction and political attack. I am sure you matured under the last Nigerian administration. The APC claim you stole from Nigeria. The problem with that claim is that they could not back it up with a dossier from the interpol! So goodluck to you madam

  31. Tops up to you madam. Pedigree is not bought from the market but is in your DNA and loads more acquired after years of experience in your field of endeavour. You are like fine wine and most definitely an asset to any organisation. Nigerians would see that after just 1 or 2 yrs of the Buhari administration. Let's see how the GDP of this country does after more than 6 years of steady progress and growth. The Nigerian people failed to see your contribution but not to worry, we have a basis for comparism now.

  32. Where will Oshiomole go when he retires? He will probably end up as a native doctor in his village.

  33. Congrats to an Amazon NO Iweala, a true daughter of Igbo land, the unsung heroine of Nigeria. Now is time for APC, Oshiomole and all accusers to congratulate her or go hug transformer.
