What's wrong there? Does she not a grandmother before?

Is Buhari not a grandfather and a Fulani herdsman?

Nothing is good or bad. Thinking make it so.

If they describe Her as a grandmother and she really is, then I don't see anything negative there.

It's the the reactors that are drawing nagativity from the remark. The term itself is neutrally complimentary

Bloody rasict!

They would never describe a white woman that way!

What happened to all her many accomplishments throughout her career? Why describe her based on family background?

Racist sexist bastards

A lot of you asking what's wrong with calling her 66 year Nigerian grandmother are obviously not okay in the head and just plain stupid. It's not even a subtle jab at all.
So if you have qualifications a mile long from some of the best and elite institutions in the world, with numerous global accolades, you would prefer to be addressed and reduced to just your age, gender and nationality.
Do you know how bloody hard you have to work to get where she is with these qualifications, only for it to be diminished by pedestrian headlines and calling her a 66 year old Nigerian grandmother
Racist bastards.

Whats wrong with a 66 year old Nigerian grandmother if she can more than deliver..?

undecided I really don't care about what they call her. I'm all about her being the WTO boss, getting paid and her implementing useful trade policies that will beneficial to developing countries, particularly Nigeria.

Go NOI! smiley.

This white folks may not openly discriminate but will subtly show their disaffection for the black race. It could be Something as small as not asking if you want a bag at the cashier point because they assume all black people don't have money to buy waterproof for the items they bought.

You are too easy triggered.

You are drawing from racial sentiments already. If they trigger you. You always respond. So it's beyond you defence. You make it easy for them

Let me make it understandable for you.

If someone does not see you a human because of the color of your skin that is not your burden.


Humans have pass that thinking place already. We know already what the truth is.

It's a clear discriminatory and racist vendetta that is perpertuated against blacks and women whenever they head and chair a global organization. Racist bastards.
Don't blame them, it's their level of understanding or the lack thereof...
