They are talking about powerful women and not just a slut

;DShe was my most hated person durin d fuel subsidy removal.....but, she
has found her way to my heart by lifting dis country's name up wherever she is found. Kudos to you ma. I celebrate with u

Ngozi Okonjo 'Puff-Puff Cheek' Iweala is one of Nigerian's most Educated, Knowledgable, Hard working and Focused women that has ever come out of Nigeria.

For those who don't follow the thinking of the crowd but rather rely on facts and History, it is known that this womanwas highly influential in helping Nigeria cut down on its debt from the Paris club. Even though there were obvious corruption involved in that process (I.e; her brother being the Consultant between Nigeria and Paris Club made a whooping $1million from the deal).

At a point in Obasanjo's regime, the woman Okonjo Iweala was becoming more popular and appreciate than General Olusegun Obasanjo both Within Nigeria, Africa and the entire world. Heads Of State were demanding having meetings with Okonjo Iweala instead of the President (Obasanjo), and this infuriated him. As we all know Obasanjo is a man who loves and craves for attention at the slightest opportunity and this made him resguffle his Carbinet and that saw Okonjo Iweala being moved from the Finance minister to the Foreign ministry.

Nzogi, being one who is stubborn and never bows down to pressure or wanting anyone counter her decision, got upset, irritated and frustrated with the cabinet reshuffle and resigned. Making her return to the World bank as the 2nd most powerful person there.

Now GEJ being a political harl*ot and desperate to get the full support of the easterners and knowing he was totally clueless on financial issues, had to BEG Okonjo to come and join his cabinet, the woman haven first learned from the mistake she made under Obasanjo made her put pressure on Jonathan to agree totally with her terms. Amongst which include, being solely in charge of decisions made in financial and economic issues of the country with the likes of the CBN governor having little or no power to over turn her decision......

On the issue of her part on the fuel subsidy, the western world "PROMISED" Okonjo Iweala their support to be the World Bank's next president if ONLY the fuel subsidy in Nigeria is totally CANCELlLED. This was a total success as Nigerian's opposed to the total removal of fuel subsidy. This then left Okonjo Ngozi loosing out on both sides as the western nations had no option that to withdraw their support from her.

A bad and terrible as jonathan's government is, there are only 3 (THREE) Inner caucus members in that cabinet and they are Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, Lamido Sanusi Lamido and OTHERS.

I need to stop here for now so not much is revealed further. But in my own opinion I think the woman Ngozi Okonjo Iweala deserves more than that 83rd position Forbe's put her on their list as the World's most influential women.

Number 1 is so onpoint as she makes basically the decisions to the entire Euro zone countries on economic and social matters. But what's so influential about Michelle Obama to give her the number 4 position? Michelle has no say whatever on topical and critical world issues. She can only top the list when it comes to Entertainment and Fashion ratings.

Forbes is a dumb company, they should be banned for putting iweala on the list again!

She's probably the most influential woman in Nigeria at the moment.
