"I AM NOT A MAGICIAN" - OKONJO IWEALLA.

 Icheoku says the petite but mighty Amazonian is already preparing a soft-landing for herself just in the event of coming to fruition of the most likely fate which awaits her most patriotic and best intentions for the Nigeria economy. The system will sabotage her best intentions and there is nothing anyone can do about it until it is first sanitized. 

The problem with Nigeria, especially the seemingly impossible task of growing her economy, is not lack of good and sound ideas; no, it is a society infected with cancer of corruption which hounds every lofty idea ever dreamt up to help Nigeria take needed baby-steps to eventual maturity. These pestilence of society will force cracks to develop through which Madam World Bank ideas and plans for Nigeria will fall through while leaving intact their goose that lays the golden eggs. Until corruption is tackled and somewhat reduced, all or any government's plans to move the economy forward will always sputter to a stop before it ever take steam. 

Icheoku, while wishing Lady Little the best of luck in her new task to engage the Nigeria economy in gear one, says that NOI has a Mountain Everest of a task ahead of her. Unfortunately however either she can't really seem to fully appreciate the enormity of the problem starring her down the face or she is naive that Nigerians are such good followers. She is convinced that all that is needed is for her to show the way out of the economic woods and Nigerians will follow and magically the shattered humpty-dumpty is whole again? However and luckily for her, she is not the only one dreaming about a functional future Nigeria of endless possibilities as even President Jonathan and millions of other Nigerians share in this Utopia. 

If Icheoku were President Jonathan, the mantra shall be first things firsts and let the rest fall in their respective places. It is three first things - discipline, discipline, discipline! Icheoku would reestablish WAI and MAMSER and implore Muhammadu Buhari or Nuhu Ribadu to lead the agency to help solve Nigerians problem numero uno - LACK OF DISCIPLINE or indiscipline. With this problem out of the way, most, if not all the problems of Nigeria will dissipate as an undisciplined mind is capable of just anything and everything. Icheoku's greatest fear and for good reason is that Nigerians will sabotage Ngozi Okonjo-Iwealla's best effort and very good intentions for the comatose Nigeria economy and Icheoku wishes to be wrong on this.
