Good Talk CBN Governor But...!


Dear All,
Do please let us digress a little and look at the latest issue in the Financial circle.
Nigeria now has a new Governor at the Central Bank Of Nigeria (CBN)
His name his Lamido Sanusi ex-MD of First Bank Of Nigerian (FBN) believed to be one of the foremost bank in the nation.

This man was appointed to replace the Dr Charles Soludo aka MEGABANK APOSTLE and it was generally believed that this change of guard was politically and ethnically motivated.

On account of the above at the appointment ratification session in the Senate , he was able to convince majority of the senators and the chronic skeptic citizens that he is a competent replacement for Dr Soludo due to his erudite, sagacious and eloquent responses to enquiries made by the honorable members of the Senate.

One of the quotes from the screening session widely reported by the media in the last 2 weeks goes thus ‘’…….each time I am asked on how the Nigerian Economy has developed, the question I ask is how many Nigerians who were not eating three square meals before now are now eating 3 square meals?’’.

Good talk CBN governor but……….The following posers from the average Nigerian require response from you sir.

Before we continue, what are your comments on the quote above?
Please send in your comments.
