You know the quality of education in Nigeria is pretty bad.

Would be funny if she still doesn't get this post ...
Getting the post is not a do or die, if she fails, she goes home. And you are rest assured before she even gets home, another opportunity elsewhere is calling her.

This is very sad, she will be remembered as a loser
She gave up because she lacks foresight

Me and my household will never flee or beg the white man for visa, greencard or citizenship. We will continue to fight and do all we can for the betterment of this country.

YOU should like one of those JOHN BULLS.
NA just by dress code, you DETERMINE people's intelligence. everyone in the NASS dress just like HER.
HEHEHEHEHEHE


I wonder how being a "PROUD AFRICAN IN THE GLOBAL SPHERE" translates to intelligence comparisms. Most of us (Nigerians) jump into topics with the premonition to criticise uncouthly and blindly, people should learn to respect others opinion without throwing tantrums for the sake of harmonous neighborliness.

Hmmmmmmm, this is deep!
Only the wise can understand.
For a former presidential candidate in our nation,
This speaks volume.

God bless you so much for this.
And may God bless your parents for giving us a wise man like you.

We Rise!

We broke no rules here!
The lyrics of our song has to do with American citizenship,
His friend invited him to America,
And he said no, because he loves Nigeria!

So why all that?

Did you just utter this bile of crap? Are you well? How is she a coward? This woman has lived in the States since the 70s. All her kids were born and bred there. She met her husband there! She has literally spend most of her life there! The fact that she's only taking the citizenship offer now is a testament to how confident she was with her Nigerian citizenship until now. A lot of her colleagues in the World Bank and other International organizations are already dual nations. She's doing what she must to further her career. You can't understand this because you lack exposure and suffer from poverty of the mind. I'm not surprised that grills idiot co-signed your comment. Like they say: "birds of a feather flock together". Too many villagers in this forum.

If by now you don’t see the hand writing written boldly on the wall about the future of this country then i pity you. Nigeria has to experience a revolution, another deadly and bloody civil war where natives will fight foreign nomads invaders to protect their ancestral lands, to protect their religious beliefs. It’s only a matter of time. We are being caged gradually, we are being invaded by nomads gradually and a lot prominent people have foreseen this, so many have sent their families away overseas if you look closely.The big question is do you choose to fight or flee? As for me I am not coward! We die here!

On a serious note. As a young man, being born a Nigerian is not your fault and not a crime, but if you allow your kids to be born a Nigerian too... Make God forgive you.

Honestly, I'm shocked at the all the ridiculous and ignorant posts that litter this thread.

Lol, they are all crying blood and pouring spit everywhere because they heard that Ngozi Okonjo Iweala took up American citizenship grin grin

They felt she has abandoned them to their hopeless situation in a hellish Nigeria, and thus has betrayed them grin grin

Lol, having dual citizenship is almost normal with people of her status. I'm even surprised she wasn't an American citizen until now despite having schooled and worked there for donkey years and all connections and influence there.

LWKMD, Nigerians are funny people indeed. I don't know if it's a lack of proper education, enlightenment or biting hunger that is making many people to reason so myopically shocked shocked

Well, psychologically, I think understand a bit why some Nigerians are crying bitterly over this development.

They have seen that Nigeria is like a sinking ship, and while pirates are invading it, to maim and pillage whatever they can find before it finally goes under, the most trusted hands on board they hoped would protect them keep living in tug boats grin grin

They will even be shocked to discover that most of the those that destroyed this country or are still doing so already have dual citizenship and would live with their families once sh1t eventually hits the fan.

If anyone deserves to have dual Nigerian/American citizenship in this country, then that person is Ngozi Okonjo Iweala yet she resisted the urge for so many years until now when it became very crucial for her to do so. That to me, shows she is still proud of her roots despite all.

My position on this woman has always been tough. She is a rogue and born to rule mentality. She admired power than anything.

Her incompetence in some positions she held was another evidence that she is overweight individual. Okonjo iwella has been use by western world to exploit Africa. This woman send Nigeria to recession and till today we are yet to recover from recession.

I have never seen a situation whereby federal government borrow money to pay workers. During her tenure no improvement and she wasn't done anything spectacular.
Lol.. you seem to be more intelligent than the world powers seeking her out continually.

She's not a drug baron or thief like your God Tinubu. She didn't serve Nigeria with a fake certificate. Buhari in all his vindictiveness could not pin anything on her.

Keep Wailing!

Reading most of the comments here truly confirms that we are dealing with a lost generation of the Nigerian youths.
oga let us lost, are you not in Nigeria when our government said we will be paying for water that we generate ourselves?

Are you not in Nigeria today to wake up and hear that PMS(petrol) is almost #200?

Are you not in Nigeria to witness how what suppose to be given to the citizen of this country as a palliatives for Covid-19 by Western world been transferred away from Lagos Airport to Abuja Airport and up till now we know see common nose Mask?

Are you not in Nigeria to see how our government have denied us freedom of speech?

you are LAUGHABLE. who tell you say na DOWNGRADE.
AMERICAN EVEN wan remove ADESINA. NA DOWNGRADE BE DAT OR POTENTIAL!!
I know she supported Adesina but she lacks FORESIGHT, so she miss the position.

YOUR THINKING IS BAD.

id911:


A former World Bank Managing Director would downgrade herself to be African Development Bank President? I guess you're a toddler! For your information, she was the one that recommended Adesina for that position and Adesina himself said it when he first won the election. I know you'd say it's a lie but I won't say more than that

You are saying this because you haven't had such opportunity yet. A loser is one that'll have an opportunity to live in a place where things are done better but decides to remain in a pond where suffering is the order of the day, a place where nothing is working at all for the good of the people that live in it. Remember we all have only one life to live. No one deserves to live it out in hell.

Anyways...Dual citizenship politics...let's go


for someone to be loyal to Nigeria and not seek for America Visa despite she graduated from there and served there for 25years speak much of her loyalty to Nigeria


now average Nigerians want her to win this international election and the clause is getting America citizenship which caused her loss during world bank election


someone like her will surely push her loyalty to her country, America can only manipulate her to get their Green card but heart knows where it belong
