igbo boy:

u are mad..he is a sane terrorist. which one be he is a product of neglect?
osama was neglected?al zawahiri was neglected?

Terrorism in not unique to islam but you guys should stop telling us nonsense explanations such as he was neglected, it is poverty, it is illiteracy etc...geez, i sabi neglected poor illiterates who have no thought of blowing people up....

Your entire generation dey mad,thunder pluck out your eyes. I insist he is a product of neglect. Look, u Christian fanatics need to start seeing the world from a different view. What has been a young educated Muslim got to do with terrorism? U getting it ll wrong,it's too early to start typing long words but I insist Mutalab was a clear case of neglect.

I tender my apology to all moslems for the generalization in my earlier post( which has been quoted by many) on this thread.

The truth is, while typing my response on the topic, I heard the news that a suicide bomber succeeded in killing himself and about 20 others in iran.

So out of annoyance from the sad news, my response drifted from topic. My apologies once again.

I truly fear for this nation!

Despite the amount of time some people spend on the internet, they still spew their ignorance (with pride) all over the place. And these are supposed to be the leaders of tomorrow?

You should at least do yourself the justice of googling up Harvard before embarrassing your family and country on the social media.

In case you don’t know, Harvard is not about money. It is about ability!

You need to prove BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBT that you belong to the top strata of achievers - irrespective of your race and age - before you are accepted into the school. Besides, most people use STUDENT LOANS to fund their studies. It is almost automatic.

Harvard is NEVER about money!

Ngozi's children should be celebrated because gaining admission into such a school is an achievement on its own. Why do you think some Companies only employ graduates from Harvard?

Or have you ever heard of an Harvard graduate being “unwillingly” jobless? I don’t think it’s possible!

Invest in your life by spending time reading about value adding stuff. You don’t have to play the internet ; leave that to the others.

God bless Nigeria!

Please tell them bro...
They are all ranting 'our money, our money',,,,,i wonder what money they are talking about. This lady is having a doctorate degree and her hubby is a prof, both based in U.S before your OBJ govt contracted her to come help in revamping your ailing economy... This is one family with foresight, instead of these myopic fellows to learn one or two things from them and their success, here they are spewing garbage. How many family in Nigeria can boast of this feat?
Talk is cheap! Pathetic!!

Dereformer: Mennnn, I envy this family. This is indeed a noble family. It is not about wealth. It is about determination and focus. I know many wealthier families in Nigeria whose children are vagabonds.

If the Okonjos are moslems their degrees will be in the act of bombing and terrorism. I still remember Abdulmutalab.

I hate Islam with passion.

Why not keep the hatred in your rotten mind rather than express such myopic view of Islam on here ? May God forgive you.

everyone has every reason to hate islam. look at every nation its found. killings, bombings, no right for women, etc.look at my country too.they bite without regret. whatever makes it this violent wherever its found is serious and must be traced to their teaching. my neighbor who smokes indian hem and robs told me he was fasting yday.how? and he meant it.

YOU BETTER THROW AWAY THAT YOUR SYMBIAN PHONE AND GET USEFUL WITH YOUR LIFE BEFORE YOUR CHILDREN END UP LIKE YOU...A LOAFER LOOKING FOR WHO DRAG DOWN HIS PATHETIC LEVEL OF HUMAN STUPIDITY!

Freewilly: Very impressive, and some fools that barely graduated High School just because Internet access is pretty easy these days would come here and talk trash about this woman and her family. Oh well I blame technology.
You're very stupid to say so, tell me why wouldn't you blame technology? For giving you the opportunity to say trash on forum, when people are making sense Animal.. ASUP went on strike for 81 days before the government intervene, now ASUU is on strike, what happen? Idiot answer me.
Is it not because the son's, daughters nd family members of our selfish leaders are in abroad studying? Fool
Have you take time to check the currency exchange rate? What is the value of our GREAT NAIRA to US dollars, pounds, euro even Ghana cedi? Is it not because of our leaders travelling, sending their children abroad instead of investing in our school here in Nigeria. Idiot of your time, if you don't know what to say, lie down, nd if you are already lying down then sleep, but if you are already sleeping then snore heavily so that when you wake, you know it's what bad governance has caused you. Worthless fool
Don't let people to use the name of Nigeria to cause you because it will affect you very bad... Ojo a tee

Her pay can be more than she earns 'basically' not + allowances. Even world bank president won't make what she makes on a weekly basis now. Why do you think thes dumb fools never want to leave offices? Kudos to her & hers. But its not inspiring rather depressing that Nigeria can't boast of a school people abroad will have their four kids school like she did.

DANGOTEONE: Nothing extraordinary as most Nigerians will do better if given the same opportunity. Peace!

dont mind these myopic plummels, her father is a king as such they are royals, how many Nigerians have that opportunity?

Talking about havard, with her fat degree and container loads of CV's in two administrations, the chasm between the upper and lower class widened, is that an achievement behooving a havard product?

What has she done in our economy that will make the middle class to send their kids to havard same opportunity she got?

Bigotry and petit mediocrity will send this country to its grave.

At the same time she was havardizing and extorting the obj administration via debt relief, prof chukwuma soludo, our own 'lion' class of 84', from our backyard UNN struck a chord that brought the middle class back to life.
Where was her havard when soludo's UNN certificate was stimulating the Nigerian economy?

How many Nigerians benefitted from her debt relief policy and how?
Of course her brother swindled obj of 15 percect of 16billion usd, reason obj threw her out.
Who is fooling who? Only Nigerians will be impressed with a mediocre and over praised iweala.

Where was her havard kleenex when soludo was creating jobs and stimulating the stock market?

The redenomination our UNN soludo suggested to our brain dead senators years back is the monetry fibre the ghananians are thriving on.

The naira has been so weak since she assumed office and nothing is done abt it, yet the same people at the recieving end of the agony are the ones eulogizing her failure, re we cursed?


Today, iweala with her havard sand paper, mis calculated and removed subsidy, at the time, her havard pampers was telling her its gonna be a single digit inflation, into the second quarter same year, world bank brought to her notice a 2 digit inflation and she still hasnt buried her face in shame.

Most Nigerians are foooools, havard my ccuunntt.

Re: Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala And Her 4 Children Are Harvard Graduates by remarkD(m): 5:52pm On Jul 18, 2013
are you for sure? an endowment from the father of a not-very-smart fellow can get in?
from what I've seen, endowments of cash means they'll name something (a faculty, building, theatre, etc) after you or the person given the cash... which is more prestige for the endower as his image or name will be out there.... as opposed to a son or daughter that he knows will flunk out or cant meet the minimum admission requirement.

I really do not think even alumni parents can get their kids in without the brain.... its a Nigerian mentality to think its all about money.
if preference is given, it still has to be within given parameters.

e.g. you interview two peeps for a job, and both are equally qualified, for whatever reason, race, acquaintaince etc... you might have a preference for one over the other... kapish?
aaidel: guy go rest jor yes some people get into haravard based on ability but many others get in because they come from very wealthy families that have given millions in endowments to these universities so maybe you should take your own advice further and actually go through more than one google answer before making up your mind


Re: Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala And Her 4 Children Are Harvard Graduates by remarkD(m): 6:22pm On Jul 18, 2013
You and the other chap mentioning Bush being a C-averaged student are actually not making any point in the context of the argument you are trying to make... this question might line things up for you wella to see...
Was George F. Bush a C student before/when he got accepted to Harvard?

Kapish? lol
birdman:

Umm no, its mostly about money. A few get in because of ability and special circumstances, but Yale, Harvard etc are where the elite send their kids. Do I need to remind you of an affable chap that "C"ed his way through Yale and still became president? The whole family going to Harvard is an achievement but that is none of my business. How does this give Iweala the right to plunge us back into debt? Even the bible says the lender will always be the master of the borrower.

Her kids got into Harvard before she started working for Naija govt..just saying.

She was a world bank director..her husband is a surgeon in the U.S....her parents are Harvard grads as well ...attribute that to "your money" as well?

And I'm an ekiti man btw..not igbo tongue

While I agree with your points, it struck me that it has become risky on this politics board to state an objective opinion without , first, a consideration of the ethnicity of the commentator. What a shame.
