By Niyi Tabiti

World Bank Managing Director, Mrs. Ngozi Okonjo- Iweala may return to Nigeria as minister under the new dispensation. There are strong indications that she would return again to her seat as the Federal minister of Finance under the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan. Facts to this effect emerged as Mr. President formally sent the name of Mrs. Okonjo- Iweala to the State Security Service (SSS) for clearance.
It would be recalled that the versatile woman who contributed a lot to the economic programs under former President Obasanjo eventually left the cabinet in controversial circumstances  after she was posted to the Foreign Affairs ministry from the Finance ministry.
Suprisingly, gistmaster.com gathered that the name of former managing director of Nigerian Breweries Plc, Mr.Festus Odimegwu was also on the list.Those in the know that this must be compensation time for Odimegwu who was sacked through to his incursion into politics. He was  a strong supporter of ex president Olusegun Obasanjo alleged Third term bid in office. Many believe he was sacked because as the head of a corporate institution like Nigerian Breweries he was not suppose to be too partial in his political affiliations.
Mary Onyali- Omagbemi, a popular Nigerian sprinter who did Nigeria proud at many international athletic competitions has also been nominated to become a minister. Her name, gistmaster gathered has been sent for clearance by the security agency

OMAWUNMI CONFIRMS BIRTH OF BABY GIRL IN ATLANTA

Pop diva, Omawumi Megbele, has confirmed news going around the blogosphere since the morning of Saturday on her delivery of a baby girl in United States. The vibe started after her status update this morning: “A child is God’s reward – Psalm 127:3b. Welcome sweetie,” accompanied by an ‘It’s a girl’ display picture.

 

“I’m so excited I have delivered,” she announced in a statement from her public relations representatives. “It’s always fulfilling for me when I achieve a milestone in my life.”

 

The “pretty bundle of joy” was delivered at Rockdale Medical Center in Atlanta.

 

Speculation about Ms. Megbele’s pregnancy had reached fever pitch from as early as January, as media and other observers pointed to a bulge in her smash hit video “If you ask me” as well as her cover shoot for Genevieve magazine, however Omawumi continued her tradition of keeping her personal life private until absolutely necessary – preferring to take care of the unborn child away from the media glare.

 

“You know the whole story that once you deliver all the pain goes away,” she added in the statement, “That’s a lie! But when I heard her cry and held her in my arms, I felt so thankful and in awe of God’s awesomeness!”

 

For her many fans anxious to hear from mother and child, Omawumi is glad to tell them: “Baby and mama are fine, great actually. And we feel soo good!”
