First Wives Of The G20 Summit by AloyEmeka9: 4:30pm On Sep 27, 2009 |
Which woman wouldn't want be one?. I didn't know that Jacob Zuma has 5 wives. Africa is a shame. And the official portrait is taken. From top left to right: Dr. Pimpen Vejjajiva of Thailand, unknown, Margarida Sousa Uva, wife of EU Commission Chairman Jose Manuel Barroso, Therese Rein of Australia, Filippa Reinfeldt of Sweden, Laureen Harper of Canada, Sarah Brown of the UK, Miyuki Hatoyama of Japan, Ban Soon Taek, wife of UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, unknown, Azeb Mesfin of Ethiopia. Bottom left to right: Sonsoles Espinosa of Spain, President of Spain, Nompumelelo Ntuli of South Africa, Kim Yoon-ok of Korea, Margarita Zavala of Mexico, Marisa Leticia Lula da Silva of Brazil, Michelle Obama, Ani Bambang Yudhoyono of Indonesia, Carla Bruni Sarkozy of France, Svetlana Medvedev of Russia, Emine Erdogan of Turkey, and Gursharan Kaur of India [img]http://l.yimg.com/jn/util/anysize/272*500l-86400,http%3A%2F%2Fa323.yahoofs.com%2Fphugc%2F0ZOvMlsaZQu7%2Fphotos%2Faab667026c042c6c38b15d6f9135466e%2Fori_7dc0699c7161bf.jpg%3Fug_____DgJJ1VFH4[/img] French and American first ladies Men are always leading while women are always present to beautify the environment. It's annoying. |

what a question so u say women shld aspire to be first lady and not president? |
Re: First Wives Of The G20 Summit by AloyEmeka9: 4:43pm On Sep 27, 2009 |
Sine1: I didn't say that although I wanted to ask who is ruling America, Michelle or Barrack?. If Yaradua got swiped for walking behind his wife, why won't Obama get the same treatment. [img]http://en.beta.rian.ru/images/15625/48/156254871.jpg[/img] |

Netherlands: Bianca Hoogendijk The only prime minister’s partner to have a Bond-villain nickname, Hoogendijk is known as the “Silent Doctor” because of her work euthanising puppies in her subterranean clinic near Leeuwarden. Either that or it’s because she has a PhD and steers clear of the limelight. One of the two anyway, we never can remember which. |
Re: First Wives Of The G20 Summit by AloyEmeka9: 4:48pm On Sep 27, 2009 |
South Korea: Kim Yoon Ok Has a degree in health education and four children, and enjoys swimming, it says here. Much more importantly, however, her life motto is “Care for people with love and do my best to do what I should”. She also likes world peace and baby deer and looks great in a one-piece. |

Russia: Svetlana Medvedeva Met husband Dmitri when they were seven, and the couple were inseparable by 14. Has a degree in economics, though her husband forbade her to work. “From time to time, Sveta did say that it would be good to find some activity, but I explained that it is better , if the wife stays at home,” he has said. He sounds lovely. |

Dis South Korean outfit is off the chainsaw! |
Re: First Wives Of The G20 Summit by AloyEmeka9: 4:51pm On Sep 27, 2009 |
Mexico: Margarita Zavala de Calderón An experienced politician alongside her husband Felipe Calderón, having served in the Mexican Congress. Has been here with her husband since Monday, having squeezed a sneaky state visit in first, so is doubtless already on first name terms with HMQ and the Harrods womenswear department |
Re: First Wives Of The G20 Summit by AloyEmeka9: 4:52pm On Sep 27, 2009 |
MrCrackles: What will you say about Nigerian outfit then with bog scarf and bling bling shoes?. Wait till Osisi becomes a first lady. You never see off the chainsaw. |
Re: First Wives Of The G20 Summit by AloyEmeka9: 4:53pm On Sep 27, 2009 |
Brazil: Marisa Leticia Lula da Silva Probably the only one of the delegates’ plus-ones to have begun her working life at 13 in a chocolate factory. She met Lula at a metalworkers’ union meeting, shortly after her first husband was murdered. His first wife had died in childbirth. Seven months later they married. Sweet. |
Re: First Wives Of The G20 Summit by AloyEmeka9: 4:53pm On Sep 27, 2009 |
Indonesia: Kristiani Herawati Began training as a doctor, got married to Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono instead. Has a butterfly named after her. And lots more interesting stuff too, no doubt, which we could tell you if we read Indonesian. |

USA: Michelle Obama Married to that nice chap. You know, thingy. Photograph: Ron Edmonds/AP |

Japan: Chikako Aso He was a middle-aged bachelor politician, she was the daughter of a former Japanese prime minister. Taro Aso, invited to dinner, was horrified to spot sea cucumber on the menu. Spotting his distress, Chikako said: “You don’t have to eat it if you don’t want.” Boom! Love/marriage/political triumph ensued. |
Re: First Wives Of The G20 Summit by AloyEmeka9: 4:55pm On Sep 27, 2009 |
Australia: Thérèse Rein A former rehab counsellor who in 1988 founded her own employment agency for the long-term unemployed. It now has a turnover of A$175m in 60 offices worldwide, giving her a personal wealth of A$60m. God knows what she is doing here, she sounds far too important. |

Aloy.Emeka:You mean Mapomeji's wife is a cripple |
Re: First Wives Of The G20 Summit by AloyEmeka9: 4:56pm On Sep 27, 2009 |
China: Lui Yongqing Chinese custom decrees that first ladies never say anything much, ever, so she doesn’t. We know she is two years older than Hu Jintao and met him at university, but not much more. Happily this means she can sidestep embarrassing allegations that their daughter lives in the US under a pseudonym. Photograph: Guang Niu/Getty Images |

MrCrackles: Temporarily. You didn't know he married oyibo whom he impressed with map? |

India: Gursharan Kaur Described as “devoutly religious [and] with a melodious voice”, she is well known among Delhi’s Sikh community for her performances of traditional Sikh chanting. Rumours of a turn on Singstar after dinner as yet unconfirmed. Photograph: Altaf Qadri/AP |
Re: First Wives Of The G20 Summit by AloyEmeka9: 4:58pm On Sep 27, 2009 |
Turkey: Emine Erdogan There is no reason why people from different backgrounds can’t get along in modern Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said — after all, he doesn’t have any problems with his wife, who is of a different Muslim denomination. So that’s nice. They met at a conference in 1978 and have two sons. Photograph: Salih Zeki Fazlioglu/AFP/Getty Images |

Canada: Laureen Teskey Harper A divorcee, rancher’s daughter, former lifeguard and photographer who rides a motorbike and in her free time fosters kittens. True fact. Absolutely our favourite summit widow bar none. Photograph: Jim Watson/AFP |
Re: First Wives Of The G20 Summit by AloyEmeka9: 4:59pm On Sep 27, 2009 |
Saudi Arabia NOT COMING Perhaps just as well, since King Abdullah Bin-Abd-al-Aziz Al Saud has at least seven wives. Think of the seating plan. Photograph: AFP |
Re: First Wives Of The G20 Summit by MrCrackles(m): 5:00pm On Sep 27, 2009 |
Aloy.Emeka:For real . . . . Dat is some Junior Mapia shit right there. . . |
Re: First Wives Of The G20 Summit by AloyEmeka9: 5:01pm On Sep 27, 2009 |
Not the first lady this time around but the first man is hiding. Germany: NOT COMING Joachim Sauer Also far too sensible for this kind of caboodle. Mr Angela Merkel is a quantum chemist and professor at the Humboldt University of Berlin. Napkin-folding lessons at Fortnum & Mason not really his cuppa, we assume. |
Re: First Wives Of The G20 Summit by AloyEmeka9: 5:04pm On Sep 27, 2009 |
All the first men dodged this occassion, why?. If Hilary Clinton is the president, do you think Bill will show face with other first ladies? Argentina: NOT COMING Néstor Kirchner No surprises here - having been president of Argentina himself from 2003 to 2007 before letting his wife Cristina take over, Kirchner knows precisely how tedious these events are and won’t be caught anywhere near it.
