Oil Subsidy - Ngozi Iweala On Phone With Sahara Reporters

[olojulagbari]

NGOZI EWEALA must know this: That Greece is not Nigeria.Nigeria does not pay unemployment money to any of their unemployed.Neither do our Govt. provide for us 24hrs uninterupted electricity power.We have no good roads.We have no social welfare facility. We have no free library not to talk of free Education.WE SIMPLY HAVE ZERO.so if Nigeria goes bankrupt,do not ask us,but ask yourself and your colleagues in government.

[snuksi]

Can you hear me?

[cutefella84]

Contd...

Well, at least we all know now that the so called minister has no credibility. Sowore, i'm your biggest fan and i love you for disrupting the minister's meeting in New York

[cutefella84]

@theodoraogharanduku

Honestly i do not see anything wrong with this phone call or uploading this conversation. There is absolutely nothing wrong with you exposing the bad deeds of the people ruining our great country. Sowore is going extra miles doing this and i think you guys should give him credit other than critisizing him. He could have sit back and watch everything unfold like those idiots sitting behind their computers discouraging this great man.

[hadewhole]

format woman.... na so na... i can hear her loud and very very clear. i am sure when its time to steal money, her ears will be so wide open.

[1414oginni]

lol @ I dont think anything is wrong with your line. hahahaha laughs

[Rogunsuyi]

I am sorry you feel this way. Maybe one day you will see things the way the rest of the world see them. These are NOT your bosses. What then is the charade of "SERVANT leader" about? Just because it sounds good? What is the meaning of "SERVANT", when you won't even let them answer OUR phone. Yes, you and I own that phone.

In the US, Obama routinely answers questions from even the smallest of reporters, not to talk of his appointed secretaries/ministers.

And sir, watch and wash your mouth.

[CALALAMILA]

I agree this was very rude and unprofessional of SR.

It is NOT a citizen's right to disturb another person's quiet time by calling their phone at all hours of the day.

YOU did not appoint her as Finance Minister, therefore she is NOT answerable to you. She is only answerable to the man that put her there so move on!

Try calling Obama na and see what happens to you, ode!

[aybarzEntertainment]

lmao. Sahara reporters don yeye you madam minister. u dey play small pickin trick. lmao. didirin jatijati. Lol

[femifunky]

lmao...this woman is fraudulent....

[dupsie2k9]

Don't worry, Soon you will hear us loud and clear!!! You this over-stiffed tolo-tolo!

[solonanna2004]

Sahara Reporters called the Nigerian minister of finance, Ngozi Iweala 7 times inviting her to discuss the removal of oil subsidy. She claimed she couldn't hear.

Bloody Liar!! She has no strength to pick d phone.

[mobode55]

She is just over rated anyway; there are economists based in Nigeria who can do much better. Anyway GEJ called her to come and 'chop' like the others; they have no clue. Forget about that story of the 'millions of dollars she was earning at WB, leaving it to work to improve Nigeria bla, bla'. All bubuyaya.

[doksides]

My very thoughts!

[timirume]

Sahara Reporters, you should be ashamed of urselves for such poor and unprofessional approach... even in the civilized world u say u live in, who badges on say the prime minister without a proper appointment... This is assult on the woman and should not be acceptable as any form of professional journalism

[AfroMoniEntTVVEVO]

@timirume This is freedom of speech on a democratic system of govt my friend, stop trippin'......de woman was pretending, if she don't hear him, how come she responded "no I can't hear you" ....too bad in this modern world people like you are still being mislead by such politicians.....

[timirume]

@AfroMoniEntTVVEVO Freedom of speech in a democratic system wat...? Well the democratic system I know in the modern world I live has protocols... go and try calling Obama like that and see what happens to you...

[Rogunsuyi]

@timirume

What is so unprofessional about Sahara Reporter's approach? Even Ngozi Iweala did not say so. She just claimed momentary deafness : -) How do you talk to someone who doesn't want to talk to you? Yet Ngozi Iweala is a civil "SERVANT", being paid by and answerable to the people who pay her. Please wake up sir - she refused to answer to you and me and that is a shame.

[brown9ja]

Why did you lie to Nigerians,Okonjo Wahala....you have no more credibilty left.

[brown9ja]

Okonjo Wahala should tell Nigerians why she lied to them ,saying "the Subsidy would start in April",only for Nigerians to wake to the shock of their lives,and as a result thousands of Nigerians are stranded around the country.

[brown9ja]

Okonjo Wahala should apologize to Nigerians for "lying" to them.She told Nigerian bold face that no decision woild be made on subsidy removal until after April,only for Nigerians to wake up to the shock of their lives.Ngozi should apologize to the millions of nigerians stranded in various parts of the country.Okonjo Wahala should explain to Nigerians "why she deceived them","what was going on in her mind"for lying.She has no credibility left and should resign.

[uruwa64]

Normally you go through the press aid who will arrange the phone interview meaning the line would have being clear and good before the minister come on. You just don't call the minister and start asking questions. She is in Nigeria and Sahara-TV is in NYC. Did her press secretary clear you guys to speak to her? We need to do things the proper way.

[asiabobo]

NGOZI CAN FOOL MORTALS BUT SHE CANNOT FOOL GOD. NIGERIANS HAVE NO RESPECT FOR HER. SHE IS A DUPE. ANOTHER PATRICIA ETTEH.

[adehide87]

why does the word "no" comes when she couldn't hear, I pray she remain deaf forever for her pretense. what a dumb set of people Nigerians are putting at the helms of affair. Supporting policy that they cannot defend and convince the lay man they are proofing to be working for. I guess she is just a stooge to the America on Nigeria economy. Let her go to blazes if she wants.

[malechild1980]

...is Ngozi Iweala afraid of you?,bloody lowlife!

[Terratiger]

Sowore, keep up the good work. If that was the minister, just imagine the condescending tone in her voice. What a pity. Yorubas say, ai tete mole, O le n moloko. Translated it means you give someone an inch, they take a mile. Why can't Okonjo Iweala go and be the President of a Private Investment Bank somewhere in Switzerland. With the stuffy nose and stiff upper lips. If Nigerians allow this to go without a reversal, then just like June 12, the people have been taken for a ride, again!

[planetolusola]

Nigeria's telephone connections are so bad, she truly could be having problems hearing you Sowore!

[Steveomonkhegbe]

What else do u want to hear from her? What about all her explanations on Channel's tv last week? What else do u want or is it a case of making cheap name for ur self? Pls leave her alone and let's found away out of this mess. Some people believe the so call 'cabal' are the one sponsoring the riot so they continue to milk the nation as usual.

[manny4life2008]

This is nothing but LIES. Sahara Reporters, have they really stooped this low to engage in such demeaning activities? Like seriously, following rules of protocols, wouldn't a reporter go through the gate keeper to have audience with the minister? I understand that subsidy removal isn't the right thing for Nigerians at the moment, but really descending so low is just beyond the mark of point blank stupidity.

[elby2012]

its clear that this is a lie how can you prove to us that that is her voice?

[doksides]

@elby2012 If you can't recognize her voice then you are clearly not supposed to be reading this.

[modemoresa]

Subsidy has been removed from her personal GSM line.Please bear with her.. #LMAO

[freeboykuopio]

absolute rubbish from sahara reporters

[theodoraogharanduku]

Sahara reporters, a bloody bunch of micchief makers! So unprofessional, nauseating and disgusting antics employed to deceive people and create distrust in the polity!!!!!! This is all rubbish!!!! Where were they during the decent fuel subsidy debate? That avenue was a good platform to have trashed out any issues with the minister! you guys cant fool everybody!!!! Try harder!!!!!

[naijahiphopvilleVEVO]

@theodoraogharanduku saharareporters are thieves and don't even know how to lie.Keep on creating distrust among Nigeria...fooolssss

[adehide87]

@theodoraogharanduku if you don't know, you are the one already fooled here. If you are in support of policy that has no basis and positive thought behind except pretense and deceit. And I know the reason why you could be talking like that lies in between two disgusting options. whether you have been brainwashed and be lured to believe that poverty its not a big deal to you or you have relegated yourself to a pet that can easily be deceived by peanuts. I just pray God make you open your @ &mind.

[chinenyedeinde]

@theodoraogharanduku I dont see what's so unprofessional here.If she cant make the interview,its more honorable to say so than to "pretend" (cos that's what it was) not to hear.Ever tried calling a debtor &getting this sort of response.public figures should expect to receive spikes when & if the public whom she's supposed to represent are displeased with her actions. i watched the debate and i dont know what you are hyping over cos people didnt really get to speak their mind

[vend30]

@theodoraogharanduku, u r an idiot!!!! obviously u r 1 of those who benefits from d flagrant corruption in our nation. if u don't hv any meaningful contribution, pls stay off....

[lavidalopi]

lmao... hello can u hear me... no i can't hear who it is....lmao

[williecity]

@lavidalopi can you hear me... No.. how did she know the question..lol

[williecity]

@williecity but it is not right for Sahara to be intruding like that.. proper appointment should be made

[Rogunsuyi]

@williecity

How do you make an appointment with someone who doesn't want to talk to you? Yet Ngozi Iweala is a civil "SERVANT", being paid by and answerable to the people who pay her. Please wake up sir - she refused to answer to you and me and that is a shame.

[CALALAMILA]

@Rogunsuyi that makes no sense. so if you work as a bank manager or teacher are you answerable to the bank's customersor students who (indirectly) pay your salary? HELLLLL NO!! You are answerable to the Directors who put you in that position and no one else

Nigerians need to learn some lessons in common sense and courtesy

Kepp calling her now, nor be just to change number?

[doksides]

@williecity lolz

[benzer911]

Please, if you by any chance have Iwala's nmber, send it to me on my email,abiode@aol.com. If i call her from England, she will hear me loud and clear.

[Donald57708]

i Hate her ... She is a liar ... I cant hear you ... No i cant hear who is this and you hang up ... who she think she is ... something is wrong with her brain .....Asshole ...

[jamilfizbaba]

hahahha I don't think even MTN gets this bad

[emi4reel]

how did they hear her ringtone? did she make the video? sahara try again.. when u call some one what u hear is not the sound here.....

[khaleedomar]

Dumb peeps, this is no lie. Its simply a wicked person trying to be evasive. Keep up the good work Sahara. Drsouth, i think ur name is smarter than you.

[drsouth1234]

Whatever happened to privacy? have we stooped so low to show nonsense like this? If they can not get a decent conversation from her they should stop posting nonsense. How low can sahara reporters get?

[hizzlay]

This woman is a bloody liar!

[Osiegbu]

On what basis did Sahara reporters conclude that she could hear them? Secondly, this could have been anybody speaking.....work harder Sahara, take some risk, creep up to her kitchen and you may find something more convincing.

[E60535i]

This could have been anybody...really!

[TheNyakaat]

lol. This is so embarassingly funny. If you are convinced the government's action is right, u should want to talk about it.

[E60535i]

Why didn't you guys send a text message instead?

[ayo1702]

Wow, I didn't even no this was for real, I thought you guys were doing your regular comedy spin off

[heropop]

This woman is so dumb that she cant even lie. does she have at twitter handle?

[naijahiphopvilleVEVO]

This is pure lie.You people should learn how to respect.Saharareporters stop all these nonsense

[mikeemeka1111]

Smart woman. She just won't talk. How shameful!

[stoprascism]

You could imagine the tension and the deceit...''what!!!...Hello I can't hear you.-No I can't hear you...how dumb and stupid she's to reply...no I can't hear you''.I thought with her P.hd,she would at least be able to lie smoothly. She's not a smart lair. She could be a good liar on economic issues,but not on answering a call.Lmao.Naija for life

[walatatobi]

Welldone Saharareporters! keep up the good work
