A former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, has accused former President Goodluck Jonathan of turning the CBN into the Presidency’s Automated Teller Machine, ATM to produce cash for his personal use. Soludo disclosed this to The Interview, he said; “Recent revelations regarding the ‘arms-gate’ (short for the $2.1bn scandal involving the former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki) and the apparent abuse of the CBN as an ATM by the Presidency should get reasonable people thinking. “Imagine a scenario where a President can order the CBN to create an intervention fund for national stability and the CBN literally ‘prints’ say, N3tn, and doles it out as cash to the President to prosecute an election campaign, or for just about anything he fancies. It is a scary thought. “We are going down a dangerous path that ruins the economy. I don’t know any other country where such is tolerated, except perhaps what I watched in a movie about Idi Amin and his governor of the central bank.”

This is just another disgrace from the Igbo land. Coward attention seeker. What did you do when you were CBN governor? It is time you begin to give some advise to your slave master if you´ve got one. See the way things has become after eight months of GEJ´s exit from the helm of government and instead of these touts to seek his advise they keep blaming him. I don´t know if you are in Nigeria but you should wake up from your slumber and see the real Idi amin now in action. God forsaken bunch of brainless fools.

I thought he needs to insult GEJ in order to get buhari's acceptance! When a supposed "professor" started acting weird, talking crap like a moron, just to get the attention of a mere illiterate...what is it called?
