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

Wetin concern me so far as she enter newspaper for good thing is okay..if them like make them call her Nigerian grandmother or soon to be great grandmother or ancestor.. we go manage am like that..

No bro. These guys always believe that we are not as intellectually sound as they are so when they see us Blacks breaking records and setting new ones they become uncomfortable and intimidated. The caption may appear harmless on the face of it but their motives are bad.
We gats clear dem on this one. Our people, more especially our women, are worth more than being house wives, nannies and Grand mothers (no offense intended to any of the aforementioned) but that we are as brilliant as they are and even better.

Its not an insult to call Dr Okonjo Iweala a grandmother because she actually is one but in this case they were looking for a weakness ,a chink in her armour and that's the closest thing they could find. The woman is too much!

That's how white people see you, it doesn't matter what accolades they gave you. But as long as you're black (which means evil in English) you can't be seen otherwise. When you hear the French wishing to come to Africa to use us as guinea pigs for COVID-19 medication, they're actually being true to themselves.

Ms. Ngozi may actually be blackmailed out of office or may resign on her own. But you can be rest assured she won't find it easy. This's one of those things I say that won't make sense now until in future.

Is being a GRANDMOTHER her credentials for securing the WTO job?

Of all her achievements and accolades that qualified her for the job,you choose to label her as a 66 year old Grandmother and you don't see anything wrong with it?

Emancipate yourself from mental slavery.. shocked

It paints her less than she is worth. Yes, she is 66 and yes, she is a grandmother but that is not the reason she is getting the job. She is getting the job because she has a Phd in Economics, has been former MD of the World Bank, a 2-time minister of finance, and one-time minister of foreign affairs. She is currently working to get COVID-19 vaccines to Africa which will require a lot of negotiations which is a high point for the job she is about to start.

Ermm why is this hurting us? That we want to start shouting up and down?

Your country has two Nobel Prizes for Literature and several prominent author and artists who speak English YET you are requested to do TOEFL and EILTS by countries who can't even speak better than you!!!

And it is this one you want to fight over! Lol. To your tents, O Israel.

Kpom! We haven't seen anything yet. Grandmother is why people are shouting. At least these ones said it in open!! There are some that will smile and stab you in the back at the same time.

What ever they like, let them call her, as far as she's occupying the position which is the most important thing, the whites are just in a state of shock that an African, a woman for that matter will be occupying the highly coveted position.

Sentiments is man's big weakness.

I still don't understand what the fuss is all about. Isn't she 66? Isn't she a grand mom? Isn't she Nigerian? How about the inner content, did they bother to read what the paper said about NOI and her past career achievements?

Nigerians are too touchy.
