‘This Has To Stop!’ Okonjo Iweala Asks Politicians To Stop Weaponising Insecurity

[@geoffreyin5512]

[@templeotoro6974]

Tears ran through my cheeks after listening to her, the standing ovation was loud. Thank you mma for this clear, rich, and undiluted speech. We have failed as people on the global table when we look at what God has given to us. The most brilliant people on planet earth are Nigerians, we don't need others to do for us what we can do better but because of greediness, our leaders turned blind eyes to the development of our country. Social Contract is the starting point, if we must move Nigeria forward. The people must follow and obey the rules on public infrastructure. You have said it all. But will they take a positive steps after this?

[@VydeeAudor]

They will never change. And we the youth have lost focus on standing our ground for better governance..

[@oghenetegaoruade5018]

Madam Okonjo is a blessing to Nigeria, and I fervently hope that the President recognizes her value and brings her into his administration before the country's situation deteriorates further. Her expertise and leadership are desperately needed to help Nigeria navigate its current challenges and prevent a complete collapse.

The Biggest Problem in Nigeria is Judiciary. The day the judges stand up for truth and justice every other thing will follow. They know all what you’re saying ma but they will rather do the opposite.

[@emekanwosu2987]

The politicians captured the judiciary by installing their families and friends. How do you expect with that level of corruption the judiciary to work. Even in the 70s as a kid during military the judiciary was working to a 80% but the level of corruption now is high. Social contract will not work in Nigeria because 95% of politicians have dirty agenda

[@Tapbluess]

The greatest problem in Nigeria is Nigerian. All of us are not ready for change.

Thank you Dr Ngozi Okonji Iweala. This speech looks like it was written by Peter Obi. Unfortunately APC people hates data and statistics but cherishes propaganda and falsehood. Nigeria can never progress under APC. APC is a curse upon Nigeria. For the past 9 years, they have been blaming PDP instead of fixing what was broken under PDP

[@oladeleabim2071]

You are very correct. That's why they choose looting rather than building a great nation. You can imagine a notorious Bandit coming out to say a serving Minister, a Minister of Defense at that under the administration of a master strategist accused of sponsoring insurgency. That's a big blow. I believe Belo Turji than those saying what he is saying is a lie. I challenge Matawalle to swear with ogun or Sango that he doesn't have hand in insecurity issues in Nigeria. There is no smoke without a fire 🔥 but the country is quiet over such very important information because of the bad people in government. Bad governance. Tinubu has failed and he doesn't mean well for Nigeria and Nigerians all he care about is to make himself, family and cohorts more wealthier.
