sandymikky:

Let me clarify even further. She's Igbo from Delta State just as Nnamdi Kanu is Igbo from Abia State and Rochas is Igbo from Imo State. Her native Igbo name is Ngozi which means blessing.
So she's proudly Igbo no matter what you say.


You are going overboard and to me such explanation is never necessary at all.

You have to follow the Stupidity of every logic the way it comes and make sure you made the poster so foolish in his/her own argument...

Atleast he/she will later agree that the education obtained was a waste of years and probably time.

Lol...Lol...Lol

The excessive nature of mud houses in Edo state is literally affecting everybody there..I must confess.

please can someone kindly tell me how to reply this logic because I might end up towing same line of foollishness and giving oxygen to this illogicality...

He started from Delta...I put him rightly on difference between government and culture,

I lined him up to ethnicity, he turn to tribe which is sub to ethnicity...

I still hold that education is a compound waste in Nigeria..

No she should come and identify as Edo and answer Edoaiiways or omonoba okpolokpolo whether na kpokokpo..or even answer Izoduwa..

Nonsense and oba of Bini.

Delta is not an ethnic group but a state.... politically

Igbo is an ethnic group and not a state...

Therefore she is of Igbo extraction in Delta state.

fergie001:
The Office of the United States Trade Representative, in a written statement today, "strongly backed the candidacy of Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala as Director-General of the World Trade Organisation (WTO), clearing the path for the first woman and first African to lead the 26-year-old Organisation.

It will be recalled that earlier today, the South Korea's candidate for the Director-General post of the WTO, Yoo Myung-Hee announced she was withdrawing from the race.




SOURCE

The WTO-DG selection process commenced in July 2020 following the untimely resignation of Brazilian Robert Azevedo, a year before the expiration of his tenure.

Eight candidates had gone through several screening processes culminating in its consideration for the final two pick: Myung-Hee and Okonjo-Iweala.

Okonjo-Iweala had based her campaign on rebuilding trust, hunting for solutions and strengthening the multi-lateral trading system of the WTO.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJAUUT0l0I8

No fewer than 100 of its 164 member countries backed Nigeria's former Finance Minister.

However, the Trump administration, had favoured Yoo, complicating the decision-making process since the selection of a new leader requires all WTO members to agree.

Reports of the Korean's seeming withdrawal first came up in November 2020 after Trump's election loss, until it was confirmed today.

With the U.S. been the only WTO member blocking Okonjo-Iweala's candidacy having endorsed her, the Chairman of the WTO General Council, David Walker, can announce the resumption of the WTO's suspended October General Council meeting to consider the appointment of a new Director-General. This is expected to happen in a number of days.

NOI, as she is fondly called did respond to the US endorsement, thanking Nigerians, President Buhari and her opponent Yoo.

This is a good development for Nigeria. The same thing happened when the U.S transferred the American embassy to Jerusalem. Nigerians travelling on pilgrimage to Israel still encounter difficulty moving from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem to perform major functions of the pilgrimage. This is because the embassy of Nigeria to Israel is still in Tel Aviv. We pray Okonjo will do something with her current international status to ease the pain of Nigerians abroad – oboi , e no easy, if you travel out, you go know.…. If Nigeria will move its embassy to Jerusalem, the Nigerians in such functions would have less stress because most of the roles would be done in Jerusalem as the seat of the Nigerian embassy, where they often visit during their trip. To ease stress for Nigerians, it is necessary that Okonjo Iweala should seriously support Nigerians abroad, like Abike is doing with her position. She should work with the Nigerian government in order to move the Nigerian embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Most Nigerians who travel to the Holy Land confess that they pray more for the country under less stress or no stress. Once more, congratulations to Nigeria and Ngozi Okonjo Iweala in particular!

She is from Delta state however she has ties with the igbos.

Her ancestors were from NRI, and they migrated to Delta state. That makes her a hardcore Igbo from Delta state, and also married to an Abia man.

.

Not having ties she's Igbo, proudly and unapologetically one for that matter. Enuani isn't an ethnic group but a cultural nomenclature for the Aniocha/Oshimili people, and they have never denied their Igboness. So your insidious narrative is dead on arrival.

Good news but how can Nigeria benefit from this post and the other high post of Nigerians in the states.


Outside of borrowing, there is no way to help in a substantial way.


No light to even hold vaccines in the right temperature; No light to compete in manufacturing now that America and others are trying to sideline China.


So this is good for the madam's resume and life, but make all these Nigerian leaders no go syke her to make mistake or sow doubt.


Good luck to madam Ngozi iwela.

The idiot is Edo and I'm not surprised. I'm beginning to notice a very dangerous trend among these Edo people and it's time the Enuani nation wake up to their expansionist agenda. I don't know when and how an Edo person from a minority state all the way in Edo State suddenly became the spokesperson and decision maker as to who is Igbo or not in Delta state... wetin concern Ngozi with Osaze? they can pull the wool of deceit over the eyes of the Ika people who kiss their arse, but that Benin nonsense won't fly on any inch of Enuani territory. I have challenged their diabolical e-rats on many occasions to present ONE evidence of Igbo denial in any part of Enuani and they couldn't... but we dey watch them, I'm glad our people are awake and ready to deal with their madness.
