How DamePatience Jonathan’s ‘Daughter’ Folake Itohan Salami Plunged NEXIM Bank Into Crisis


With the dwindling fate of the Nigerian economy and the financial ill wind affecting the nation’s revenue base, even with the well-meaning efforts of the managers of the nation’s economy, much is still expected as these efforts have been subverted by in house detractors and self-serving Nigerians, many who have been tasked with the responsibility of managing this same economy.

Recent revelations have continued to expose these self-seeking appointees who hold the nation and many of its revenue generating institutions at the jugular. The Nigerian Export and Import Bank (NEXIM) is presently under this draconian siege laid by its Executive Director, Business Development, Mrs. Folake Itohan Salami who is on a mission to circumvent its fortunes for pecuniary gains.

On the Proposed Seven (7) Years Jail Term for Social Media critics in Nigeria, hear what Atiku Abubakar has to say;

 Social media may yet change governance in Africa

I have recently had to answer many questions from friends and contemporaries, seeking to understand why I decided to join social media and expose myself to potential fire from young Nigerians. This is mostly because people who have known me for a long time know me to be a rather quiet person.
But the reality is that over the last months, I have learned that the positives of social media participation far outweigh the negatives.

Social media is where young people, the bulk of Nigeria’s population, gather to share their thoughts, often venting their frustrations with the inefficiencies of the country.

I may not always like what is written about me; indeed some commentators could be very insulting. Our society has always been one where older people expect a lot of respect from younger people, so the relative equality of voice that social media provides may shock newcomers to the platforms.
Overall, social media has allowed me to listen a diverse array of Nigerian voices without filters.
I am going to guess that colleagues in public service may see social media as a threat, and indeed seek to censor social media networks. But I think such an attempt would be a mistake.

PRESIDENT JONATHAN RINGS THE CLOSING BELL OF THE NEW-YORK STOCK EXCHANGE (NYSE) IN STYLE.


In 2006, President Obasanjo met with the CEO of the New York Stock Exchange in Davo, Switzerland and requested to ring the closing bell at the NYSE. He cited instances with the economic reforms being pushed by Dr. Iweala( whom 'our' governors wants sacked) and finally got a subtle and tentative invite by the new CEO.

The NYSE uses its selection of bell ringers to make strategic statements about the direction of the exchange and its seen as a strong endorsement to potential investors all over the world .

On arrival for the ceremony , the NYSE told President Obasanjo that the request was not approved and that the President can come for a 'lunch', which is a lesser endorsement at the Stock Exchange. Characteristic of OBJ, he got infuriated and shunned the Lunch.

A few months earlier, three African Presidents have been lumped together to ring the closing bell at the exchange. They were the President of Liberia, Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf,
the President of Mozambique, Armando Guebuza and the President of Tanzania, Jakaya M. Kikwete.

Many African analysts saw this as a let down on Africa as many smaller European country's presidents had rung the closing bell alone.
