Fastest growing economy doesn't disappear over a few months.

There are no infrastructure and manufacturing base to support the claim. It is an arbitrary claim supported with fictitious data.

But you bought into the hype/propaganda the insane way all of you swallowed the "change" mantra.

LOL.

Abeg, Abeg, Abeg!!! Why are you people like this, we are talking about competence and you are bringing tribe. How all you lot always manage to bring in tribalism into serious issues amaze me.

Now to the issue, Looking back at her past records, she can never and will never even be considered for such position! The post of a World bank President is not by academic qualifications or by how many seminars or meetings you attend with world leaders.

And never you compare Adesina to Okonjo, it's insulting pls.

MadamExcellency:


Common get out from my mention and never quote my comments with this elementary mentality of yours.

Dr Iweala has worked in the same office and rose to the highest professional position, the Managing Director of World Bank not by appointment rather by merit and competence and yet to you she is not qualified.

Obdurate Bigot

Dream on. President of World Bank will always come from US, while IMF presidency will be from Europe. This arrangement is not going to change.

Caseless:
So na URP she study sef in her first degree?

Why she de feel herself too much for economic related issues? Is it because she worked at the world bank? How's that a certificate for economic management?

Well , you're as good as your last job. She did woefully here the last time she held a post and, her actions and inactions created a leeway for "recession" . So I'd say she doesn't deserve the post of world bank head, except if that's the reward for bringing us to our knees economically on the order of her western gods who benefit from our downfall or plunging currency .

Don't mind the Iti... let him go and tell them at world Bank that they did not make okonjo president because she is igbo... they think everyone has got time for their emotional jargons

Manage waiting? Forget the fact that she is a Nigerian, when as a common minister she couldn't do proper home economics, u think u just get a top job like that without proper background checks? For me I think she is pretty much done handling big post, she can present papers and serve as a resource person at events... World Bank President... Thousands with unquestionable integrity are ahead of her,,, is jobs are given with respect to character first nt papers,...

ussy09:
Nigerians sabi fall hand Wats wrong if we support our own after all she's fit for the position, rubbish lack of unity

CSTR2:
But she is currently on the board of some of the biggest financial institutions in the world that rivals even the world bank. And even the world bank still has her as one of their honourary members and one of their brightest minds ever.
If she applies for any position in the world bank, she would get it very easily on her own merit.
The only thing that can stop her is America. If she is able to convince Obama that she will continue to look out for American interests, then the job is hers.
There is nothing any illiterate bitter afonja can do about it.

MadamExcellency:
Nigeria and her people are weird. Most of these people who supported Adesina to become African Development Bank President not minding that he served under GEJ administration will frown at Dr Ngozi Iweala becoming World Bank President just because of bigotry.

Her only crime is that she is Igbo. The same reason why Buhari has not seen the necessity in settling Oby Ezekwesili for her political patronage.

willibounce1:


Lol.. convince Obama she got america's interest like kanu and his goons are trying to convince Putin and Donald Trump that they are from Israel and need Biafra.... stop wasting your time... the US got millions of intelligent and diligent people who can be president of world Bank and not okonjo who watched and assisted PDP animals steal us dry

asamaigho:


She is not igbo, she is a nigerdeltan from delta state. Her father is/was the king of ogwashuku.

SHE IS AN IKA WOMAN.

martineinstein:
okonjo is deltan,abeg

You are a bitter afonja illiterate.
Educating you is a waste of time, so move along.

Okonjo Iweala, Pat Utomi, Stella Okoli, others honoured as Igbo professionals celebrate their global best at Ola Ndi Igbo event


It was fun and laughter this Saturday at Civic Centre Lagos when some Igbo professionals under an umbrella body called Ola Ndi Igbo (Treasures/Jewels of Igbo Land) decided to celebrate their own who have distinguished themselves in their different fields. The Igbos as a people believe in “Ikwa Mmadu na Ndu” which means to show honour to one’s own when they are alive.

This event was not only a celebration but it was also a time of sober reflection and an opportunity for strategizing on what and ways to make a reversal in the under-development of Igbo land.

Treasures of Igbo land from the diaspora and within Nigeria were all on hand to discuss and share ideas on this issue. The main issues affecting Igbo land are: High male school drop-out rate, declining number of people of Igbo descent still speaking the Igbo language especially among the children of the elites, lack of jobs and opportunities for professionals and semi-skilled Igbos in Igbo land, and the insecurity in the region.

This event was devoid of political interference or under-tones as everyone invited and who participated were all professionals from all fields spanning media, arts and entertainment, public service, human rights, education, medical, corporate and entrepreneurship e.t.c. The event was divided into 2 – the morning/afternoon session was more of a think-tank and high level strategy session while the evening event was the celebration event.

A tribute, “Lest we forget” was made for all Igbos who have lost their lives in different communal, sectarian and religious crises/riots in Nigeria going back as early as the 1950s.

The day ended with a tear inducing and mood sobering elegy to the recently departed Prof Chinua Achebe – a powerful advocate of the Igbo people – which left no eyes dry in the audience.

I knew we had got it right when at the end of the event, my daughter Olaedo who is from this entitlement generation excitedly told me that she couldn’t wait to come for the next event and that she would love her younger sister to also experience it. In her words she said, “Mom, today is one of my best days because I have truly met giants of Igbo land”. We all are lucky to have known and have been given this rare opportunity to celebrate and honour them in their life-time. Ji di ka unu ji.

Igbo Kwenu !! Nya gazie ……
