The words of Prof. Chukwuma Soludo and Dr, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala are my economic bibles which I consult regularly to gauge the Barometer of the Nigerian economy.
However, seen the kind of unprintable collation of embarrassing nomenclature both Doctors have descended into... I dare ask why are our Doctors Dancing Naked?
By the way, why have Jonah David Jang of Plateau and Femi Fani Kayode put their shreds of decency into final conundrum. Therefore, I will just laugh because their responses were just an expose in economic-illiteracy. So I laugh too.
Back to the issue, Okonjo-Iweala had said in her response to Soludo's dissection of the Nigerian economy this way, “It is a sad day for Nigeria and the economics profession that someone like Soludo, a former CBN governor, should write such an article. If Soludo wants to regain respect, he should return to the path of professionalism. He certainly needs something to improve his image from that of someone whose sojourn into national economic management ended in disaster for the banking sector. His sojourn in politics ended in overwhelming rejection by the electorate, and more recently, his sojourn abroad has put him out of touch with the reality of the Nigerian economy.”
Though Okonjo called for it, imagine Soludo saying, "By the way, can you (Okonjo) tell Nigerians why you were eased out as Finance Minister and you cried like a baby begging OBJ to still allow you remain in the Economic Management team, barely few weeks after the debt relief? Why were you eventually also removed from the economic management team if you were so important? Ironically, President Jonathan has recycled you, with a bigger title and greater responsibilities. But the difference is that the team that did the actual work is no longer there, and the world has seen that the king is naked."
Again, I dare ask why are our Doctors Dancing Naked?
