For ur information she is not even an ibo woman.

Yeah, she is an IGBO woman. Ode!

That day, I felt like crawling under the table but I was brave. After they finished, I said “well, I just want to remind you I am Igbo and not everybody has a price but they said Ngozi no it is not you we are talking about.

Don't claim to be over-wise, it makes you look ignorant.

ceaz4r:



Pls can u explain to me how she got it wrong on the emboldened as u put it.

As a neutral observer reading that speech, I got the message that she is saying that Hausas think of Igbos as greedy and selfish even though 99% of Igbos are honest and hard working people. She inadvertently created showed her own bias in an attempt defend her people.

Notmany Delta Igbos like this woman will accept to be Igbo. If we have people like her and The Chief of Army Staff, Ihejirika then Igbos would be a greater place. Not Anyim who is SGF and can't boast of any assistance for his brothers.
and sisters.

P e r s o n a l l y , i l i k e t h i s h a t e g a m e o n t h e I g b o s because we tend to move faster to the top while the haters sip and fill their hate bellies with gutter water.

Your comment exposed your unfair judgement towards Mrs Okonjo.
She cited an instance(a fact for that matter) to buttress her point. It could've been Hausas, Yoruba's or foreigners.

Really?! Why didnt she just say ' I was among some people' ?

euromilion:

U could think watever u want,But we kno that we are not ibo.

What really makes someone an Igbo?

I always thought Madam Ngozi to be a neutral Nigerian and I loved her for that untill NOW! She started her speech well but later exposed her real identity- A BIGOT!

Any hope for Nija?

This woman isn't really tha smartt and she crucified herself in the rants that followed the denial of ethnic agenda... How can you go from denying an Igbo agenda, then turn around to give a silly conjucture about Igbos not sticking together and helping one another in government - isn't that oxymoronic?

Can Nigeria rid the polity off these ethnic chauvinists disguised as technocrats with massive endless paper qualifcations? Hell yeah, they got there on merit - yet have been a failure since they got there, no? It's either the "merit" in naija translates to inability to perform, or this woman is lying..

She's a tribalistic world bank puppet!

naijababe:

Wouldn't make much sense if she'd used "some people" instead of saying who those people were.

euromilion:

Who's "we"?

naijababe:

Her response would have excellent if it had not included the bolded. SMH!

Her response still have excellence despite the ''included line'' ...........NOI is IGBO.....!!!


Check for the Paper Title she delivered and the symposium........u would be convinced that the ''included line'' is necessary .......!!!

Exactly my point.check that YouTube documentary on nigerian poverty .she was there parroting the same lies used in chile,Argentina ,Margaret thatcher to wreck havoc on people's lives and economy.she is definitely overrated.
Ekwesili is far better and more hands on. iweala is nothing but a new world order ,neo liberal apostle.
I would rather do without both.both of them are world bank ettins.

J12:

Thought she is from Delta state. I serve there, and many don't really consider themselves to be igbo.

euromilion:

What an imbecil.e! The woman has told the world that she is IGBO and you are here disgracing your family!

chess guru:

And are you trying to tell the woman her tribe? . She said she is IGBO and she is truly IGBO, so end it and stop sounding funny.

Are they Yoruba?

NOI is just talking bout how un-unified Igbo people are and the perception of other Nigerians on Igbo group .......

She said she heard some Hausas saying Igbo are ''easily sell-out'' .......also,any slight move by a Igbo man is tagged 'IGBO AGENDA'' .......


All I deduced from the article and NOI (with regards to the Title of the Paper and the symposium ''Ola Ndigbo) is a call to Igbo Ethnic Group to Build ''TRUST'' and Re-Create a positive perception among their fellow Nigerians.....!!!

@ the bolded above....haba why do we choose to skew statements. What made u think her call for unity of the igbo folks was purely for those in government!
Its a general call to do something about the igbo penchant for dividing @ the time unity is needed most. She used the example of how the rest of the county see the igbo's as people who only dance to the highest bidder, and will even go against themselves for the right price. This was the reason for her call of unity. Claiming that she was only referring to igbo's in government is highly narrow minded

She is from Asaba and they see themselves as Igbos.

Unnecessarily defensive.
