Koulture:This is really just crazy to be honest. Must every conversation begin or end with these Igbo guys? What's the connection between what was said and your bashing of the Igbo tribe. This obsession is laughable. We all have our origin, that simply makes us people of the world. People displaying hatred should be pitied. 1 Like |

tamdun: Opposition is all about interest, this is international politics not about love stories. Why should southeasterners hate US? Because they oppose Iweala? Your childishness is legendary. If you know the percentage of Easterners that are US Citizens, you will just keep your opinion to yourself. 3 Likes |

Noneroone:What does veto mean? The US already rejected her; they already vetoed her candidature. Veto does not necessarily imply overruling. Constitutionally rejecting a move is considered as a veto. Where did you get your education? 6 Likes 1 Share |

CSTRR:That's what Trump wants. He knows by voting, his candidate will still lose. He just wants to dabaru everything. Worse still, the GC will.meet after the US elections. If he wins, he will be more emboldened. But I know somewhere, there will be concessions and understanding. |

It has always been very obvious that Trump is a racist. But some of my fellow countrymen believe the sun shines through his ass. He did the same with Adeshina. Now, he's doing the same with their kinswoman. I wonder how they will spin this. 1 Like 1 Share |

US trade secretary lighthizer feels NOI is more internationally pro-trade. A globalist, so to speak. Which is What the WTO is about anyway. They fear that she is the direct opposite of the Trump trade ideals which is more narrow . She can't be bullied. And add to the fact that China is supporting her. It is a no brainier why trump would go for the Korean who is far more malleable. Politics of self interest at its finest. I pray China does not let go too. 5 Likes |

Sanchez01: US can’t veto anything! The rules stated that, all member states must have a consensus or rally around a single candidate at this stage for that candidate to prevail. So if any single member state disagrees at this stage like US has done, they will move to the next stage, which is member states will state lobbying and influencing other states to back their prefer candidate, this is the consultation stage. If after consultation, there is still no consensus candidate or non of the two candidates dropped off, it goes for a final vote and the winner of that vote will be about pointed. 1 Like 1 Share |
