The 21-year-old daughter of Bobby Brown and the late Whitney Houston was found unresponsive in a bathtub at her Roswell, Georgia home on Saturday. It's still unclear what prompted Bobbi Kristina Brown's emergency - so eerily similar to her own mother's tragic death by accidental drug overdose nearly three years ago. 

The aspiring singer remains in a medically-induced coma at the hospital because of brain swelling. Her father Bobby Brown is currently by her side, along with family friends.

You Are Brilliant Madam, But You Need Serious Help”- Charles Soludo As He Fires Back At Finance Minister In Article Titled: Ngozi Oknojo-Iweala And The Missing Trillions (1)

The former Central Bank Governor, Charles Soludo, has reacted to the criticism of his earlier article by the Minister of Finance, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala.
In a lengthy, over 6000 words article, Mr. Soludo on Sunday rejected claims by Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala that he performed poorly as governor of the Central Bank. He said his performance as CBN governor was unprecedented locally as well as globally acknowledged.
“In Nigeria’s history, no governor of the Central Bank has delivered 24 consecutive months of single digit inflation as I did until the advent of the unprecedented global crisis in 2008,” he said.
Mr. Soludo then challenged claims by Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala, who is also the Coordinating Minister of the Economy, that the Nigerian economy is doing well.
He accused Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala of running the country’s economy aground.
“You are brilliant Madam, but you need serious help,” he said while reeling our data to show the porous state of the Nigerian economy.

He added: 

“Having spent all your life in the World Bank bureaucracy largely in administration/operations, no one will blame you if your economics has become a bit rusty. There are firebrand Nigerians all over the world to draft to service. It is certainly embarrassing to Nigeria for you to be bothering World Bank economists to help you with most basic economic analysis.”

He also accused her of forging Nigeria’s national economics statistics.
