ABUJA — The chances of Nigeria’s Coordinating Minister for the Economy and Minister of Finance, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, to be appointed President of the World Bank brightened, midweek, as President Jacob Zuma of South Africa has joined the league of those pushing for her Presidency of the global organisation.

Mr Zuma and Ivorien counterpart, Mr. Alassane Ouattara, it was gathered, met President Goodluck Jonathan to pressure him to release the Minister to the bank in the interest of developing nations of the World and Africa in particular. That means that South African Trevor Manuel who should have been Dr. Okonjo-Iweala’s closest contender from the continent has given way.

Besides, some Executive Directors of the bank have also visited Aso Rock with a view to urging the president to give his approval for Okonjo-Iweala to take the exalted office at the bank, which has been dominated by the United States since its creation after the World War II, along side the International Monetary Fund, in 1945.

The current President of the bank, Mr. Robert Zoellick, is stepping down in less than two and a half months time.

A lot of developing countries are said to be pushing for Okonjo-Iweala who worked in those regions for a long time helping to manage their economies by providing expertise and, therefore, endeared herself to them, a reason for which she is said to be highly favoured candidate of emerging markets.

She is expected to be nominated on Friday and if she wins, she will be making history as the first African woman to head the Washington-based institution.

Obstacle

Those familiar with the politics of the World Bank say the only obstacle before Okonjo-Iweala would be the position of American President Barak Obama.

The USA which is the largest shareholder of the bank has dominated its presidency since inception, and whether President Obama would relinquish America’s hold on the bank is not certain.

Sources close to the minister said she was not putting herself forward for the prime job but that it was a great honour for her efforts to make life more meaningful for people in various countries of the world to be so recognised.

Born on June 13, 1954, Okonjo-Iweala had a long career at the World Bank rising to the position of Managing Director before President Jonathan, in July last year, persuaded her to join his cabinet where she performs critical roles in managing the nation’s economy.

Before then, she had served in the government of former President Olusegun Obasanjo as Minister of Finance between 2003 and 2006. She quit Obasanjo’s government after she was redeployed from the Ministry of Finance to Foreign Affairs.

Is it Jonathan holding her or the loot she is enjoying in Nigeria that not WORLD BANK PRESIDO position can compensate for?
Sheeeeeeeeesh! Where money go. . .ABADA woman go! Period! You want her to leave her special adviser married 'boyfriend' that is giving her 'correct sugar' to go and roast alone in Washington with her old Ikemba who prefers young 'nurses' in hospital parking lots?

everybody knows the calloti aka bootyonme chic is nuts...just pay the crack head no heed bro....

she probably has not taken her medication for the day.

Don't you people think it is better to be the Governor of Akwa Ibom, Rivers and Bayelsa State than to be the President of the USA. Obama gets only $200,000.00 a year, these Governors have a bottomless reserviour of money.

Me I no blame the woman jooooor, na title person wan chop abi na kudi, ego, owo $$$$$$$

Abi na lie?

Why does this article not make sense? She is now a Minister. Is the World Bank offer more important than her ministerial post or something? Is the expectation that if she be installed as World Bank President, African Countries will get preferential treatment of some kind?

Actually, her name is QUEEN NWOYE. . .an ex-con by now for extortion.

Friday, November 2, 2007

A 59-year-old Nigerian neurosurgeon at Providence Hospital confesses that he started an affair with a 20-something nurse who hailed from his native country. But what happened next, authorities say, made him a hapless victim of a scam that has been pulled in Nigerian communities around the world.


The doctor's paramour, Queen Nwoye, 28, on trial before U.S. District Judge Ellen S. Huvelle, insists that she, too, was a victim.

Testifying in her own defense, she admitted yesterday that she helped collect the money and helped her boyfriend, Adriane Osuagwu, pretend to be her cousin so he could conceal his identity. But with a sullen face and insistent cries, Nwoye testified that she was powerless to resist the orders of Osuagwu, whom she described as a physically abusive, controlling man and as the scheme's mastermind.

I am not an RN. . .so rest your pehnis!
Used to be though. . .but have moved up the food chain.
Let your 'Mgbeke' bush-meats die there.



Did I touch your 'HOLY ANNOINTED' or something?



We haven't finished dealing with the 'meandering' Ox-bow lake of a grieving 'black' widow humping in and out of Jonathan's bed have we?

Umu Nwanyi a na mi ali!
Let us not derail this thread with FACTS please.
Abi are you 'SLY' Stallone, the sugar son?


Just giving you reasons why "Mama Iwaela" will not be considering the World Bank Presido option.

She has found love in Nigeria IN CASH AND IN 'KIND'!

Have a good day. Off to my ex-RN job!(Upgraded from 'MGBEKE' infested profession!)

I need to call my husband. . .to make sure he is still in the OR first! LOL

The US and other Western nations will support her. She has been very good to them. She helped them to further their interest in Nigeria recently.


Oh, sorry, this position has been an exclusive preserve of US nationals since inception.

Sorry oo, Madam poodle

The way you lot go on about Awolowo,some people would think he's your progenitor.lol!

Concerted effort @ burnishing Okonjo's image after it came crashing down during the protest.
She can be president of China but it won't change much cos she's already been laid bare.
