President Muhammadu Buhari has congratulated Ms Sandie Okoro, for her recent appointment as Senior Vice President and General Counsel, World Bank Group.

The President also extended the same felicitations to Ms Nnemkadi Ogwunike on her record breaking achievements in the U.S. Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) League.

The two congratulatory messages were signed by the President’s Senior Special Assistant on Foreign Affairs and Diaspora, Abike Dabiri-Erewa on Monday in Abuja. The President described Okoro’s track record in the banking sector as impressive, which has brought a rekindled hope that “Nigerians in the Diaspora with the right atmosphere, are professionally excellent”. Buhari said that “having followed her excellent track records in making Nigeria proud as a nation, there is no doubt in my mind that the sky is your beginning’’. The president also said Nigeria received the victory of Nnemkadi Ogwunike as the 2016 Most Valuable Player of U.S. WNBA League with utmost pride and deep sense of appreciation to the country. “We were even more excited to learn that you have led your team to clinch the 2016 League Championships, a feat that has been achieved by your team, the Los Angeles Sparks, since 2003. “It is even more befitting and admirable that, as a true African and Nigerian daughter, you have set a remarkable example for your younger Sister, Chiney Ogwunike. “She (Chiney) joined you to make world history in 2014, when selected by the Connecticut Sun as the Number One draft pick achieved by your team, the Los Angeles Sparks, since 2003’’. “The legacy you began in 2012, with your selection by the Los Angeles Sparks, making both of you, the second set of siblings to ever be selected number one in any American Sports. “I am truly proud of both of you, and urge you to continue to extol the virtues and strengthen of Nigerian heritage. Your shinning example serves as inspiration to the youths of Nigeria,” the president added. (NAN)

I don't think you understand how painful it is to give people peace of mind and allow them free movement for business around you. . yet the same people will still come back and call you lazy, unloving etc. to your face

yorubas will say.. eni ti a n se lore ti o dupe da bi olosha ko ni leru lo ni
it simply means you guys are not different from thieves... That's what the average yoruba man sees you as when you rant in case you don't know

chiwetaluAGU:

Get it into your thick skull ... there is nothing like yoruba or hausa or ibo once money spinning business is on the table or there is lots of fun to be caught. Idleness breeds tribalism ... i say this cause i run things smoothly with yorubas. We argue, quarrel, fight, drink, fvck, cruise and do everything together in real life but get funny on anonymous forums like this. I will advice you stop being too emotional or serious here for your mental health sake. Sorry if you took my first post too serious. Big boys only play. Be a big boy today
