I can understand why you believe what you typed but to think the Trump Administration is a force of good vs evil globalist forces out there is to admit how limited your knowledge horizon is. I will suggest you read more, learn more and have an open mind rather than spend all your time on white supremacist websites who are masquerading themselves as well meaning christians.

There are advantages and disadvantages to Globalism as there are to Nationalism. One is not necessarily better than the other. I could even argue that globalism is responsible for some of the things you as an individual enjoys today. Are you aware that corporations run the USA, and I mean both parties in the USA. Please how do you think corporations became so rich and powerful, you think it was by supporting nationalist ideas? It is sad that you cannot see Trump for who he truly is; a conman and a racist disguised as a populist and nationalist. If he did believe in his nationalist ideas, please tell me why would he be trying to setup hotels across the world and sub-contract some of his own company's manufacturing to china? Before you label me an anti-christ, go and read, learn and keep an open mind while doing so.

Now I get that you are in love with all things Trump but then every once in a while it never hurts to understand what you are supporting. Do not just listen to what is retorted, read and make up your own mind.

I just hold my head in shame when most Africans display inferior mentality by making silly condescending statements such as "White Supremacist". I ask Supreme in what? If you claim to be black or believe in the idiocy of black and white for human beings, I suggest you form "Black Supremacist" group and stop crying for pity.

If 104 countries think she's a trade specialist then your opinion is irrelevant.
Kzinne:
I agree with the USA on this one. The question is- is she a trade specialist? The answer is no
Re: US: Why We Oppose Okonjo-iweala’s Election As WTO DG by Midas01: 1:00pm On Oct 29, 2020
Oga, why should Trump think about Nigeria? Is Nigeria his priority?

China and even Japan supported NOi against their very own fellow Asian sister and koreans are not calling them names.

Not everything should be done with sentiments.
contigiency:
If US succeed with this rigging. Then I see no reason other countries should not withdraw their membership from WTO. This is an eye opener to those who thinks Trump is interested in anything good about Nigeria. They went rejoicing and hailing Trump, simply because he insulted buhari. I wonder what they will do now that he is insulting our revered Okonjo Iweala.

But Ngozi is an American citizen.

She just became naturalized citizen of USA and it does not qualify her for the job.

Your assertion is completely wrong including the analysts unprojected judgement on the issue. Nigeria is the strongest ally of US in Africa and the trade between Nigeria and US has rose above any other time in the recent decades. Forget abt China mobile phones and petty trade Nigerian do with China, agriculture, spare parts of industries and heavy duty machines and weapons Nigeria buy from US make greater difference. US is just looking for someone who will depend their interest amidst difficult trade battle with China.
The confused gullible dullard Trump who is always supported here by his fellow dullards has shown his real face. The hater of intelligence, racist who isn't even aware of his mission to destroy his country's foreign diplomacy. He has done it with WHO which is headed by African, Ethiopian & perhaps he'll fail again with WTO.
I think she'll win because Trump lost EU support as he's already in disagreement with them in many policies. Recently, Macron asked EU to stop relying on US for weapons.

Any person who slightly believed in racism is a dullard.

Why do TRUMP hate Africans and black so much! And unfortunately Nigerian Christians and the IGBO's love him with reckless abandone. God forbid!

Majority of Nigerian Christians don't support him. Only igbos do all because he called Buhari lifeless. Igbo will support Hitler if he will rise up today in as much as he hate Buhari.

There are trade secrecies and proprieties which are involved. USA can only support a candidate from a country or countries which attested to protect such secrecy. By qualify, I did not mean academic qualification or job experience. Mere becoming USA citizen does not automatically qualify her for the position.

Moreover Most Nigerian officials have been pocketed by the chinese. America is in a trsde war with china, they need someone who will be harsh on china. South korea has problem with china also, so America interest aligns with south korea.

It was the same US that brought 12 count allegation against Adeshina Akinwunmi but he succeeds the second term...
US present government hates black Americans and most African countries with a passion...how I wish it was the Obama administration, the verdicts could have been different..
I am very sure NOI will win the DG WTO seat.

Lemme now play some tribal cards a bit....the Igbo people are here criticizing other tribes...now they need the DG seat to save their face from the monumental Shame and global humiliation...
To all the chest-beaters crew, and Nyamiri poto-poto, Igbo member, over to you...
But the woman is not Igbo per se....but a Deltan woman who I love so much but all this Nyamiri deluded people here on the nairaland platform are here to cause bile among us....

Tribalism is real. There are more then one tribe on earth. In the other hand, earth has one race therefore no racism. The word racism is a misnomer.

.........
When was that? Also on what deliberation?
.........
Only recent time Nigeria voted against USA, was pre USA-Iraq War, during George Bush's time.

That eventually played against us at the Hague, due to territorial loss of Bakassi to Cameroon.
........
Moving capital from Telviv to Jerusalem..I was disappointed with Nigeria vote, they would have been neutral. Buhari"s government is a disaster. you might forget but USA don't forget.

South Korea is a major trade ally to USA. I do not know where cull the bolded crap in the above post.
You have no idea who Trump sees an ally. His understanding of the world is no more advanced than an high school kid. All European powerhouses and also South Korea are Trump's trade enemy because they make money from the US.


As for leaving WTO, most world organizations including UN have been compromised. I should not be surprise if USA wants top pull out of WTO.
Any organization domestic or foreign that Trump cannot bully or dictate to is compromized.
Trump doesn't give a shit about the South Korean candidate. He is supporting her to use as a pretext to blackmail members into submission or pull out if he can't get his way. He would likely be pulling out of the UN too because it no longer favours dictatorship and trickery. I wish he is re-elected so America's hegemony can be totally demystified and dismantled. America won a lottery in that smart and urepresentative people were in charge at his foundation and were able to maintain power. As "real Americans" gain power, we will start to see the naked emperor.

It is not because Nigeria is not a reliable ally. The US has her reasons which may be different from Social Media Propaganda we have witnessed so far. The Book - The Thieves of State may be of no value here, but indirectly, the author of the Book and the few strategic readers have their opinions.

The Korean by nature and most of the countries in East Asia are very reserved and reticent and not given to propaganda. They are people of few words. Their work speak for them. Good thinking, good product.

The China–United States trade war is a very serious global economic war. This is an ongoing economic conflict between China and the United States. The US in 2018 began setting tariffs and other trade barriers on China with the goal of forcing it to make changes to what the U.S. says are "unfair trade practices". This requires high intellect, integrity and deep trade experience. Fair deal, no corruption background or history and agility are also required. This is more than noise making propaganda.

The issue on the ground now is US supporting the Korean Candidate. Somebody asked a question about who China is supporting? I think, a US robot or dog can answer that question as most economic strong nations in Asia have no other candidate than the Korean woman. All the discussion about NOI support from WTO has been focusing on EU, UK and Africa which I know is even over exaggerated. Nobody ever talk about the East Asia or Asian in general. WTO is also talking about inability to get endorsement from US because they know who China will support. So, the issue on ground is not China but US.

Those who donated money and provided moral support to NOI really tried. Those people are really united and their global associations in conjunction with various local communities associations really tried. They are the most united people in Africa. They really paid back what they benefited.

To me, it looks as if China and US may eventually support the same candidate despite Trade War between both countries. I wish the winner best of luck.

If USA does not succeed, WTO is gone. Why would Trump be interested in anything good about the shithole called Nigeria when the Nigerians are not interested in anything good about their country? Nigeria has absolutely nothing to offer the world in trading session. How many bolts and nuts are produced in Nigeria compared with South Korea?

I want to ask you, was this position competitive in the first place? If yes, why should one country be pushing to edge out someone that has already garnered the majority endorsement? If in your stupid opinion, Nigeria has nothing to offer, why allow them to participate in the first place? You people allow your hatred for your country and frustration to influence you so much. If not, you will never imagine that you know better than those 104 countries that endorsed the woman.

It is unfortunate that people who have not worked in a policy-making organization usually think everything in USA flows from Trump.

How many trade patents do the majority of the countries hold? Nigerians tend to be vulgar on issue they know absolutely nothing about. It is even silly to engage Nigerians in an intellectual exercise. Ngozi is an Igbo woman and I would like for her to get the job however it very unlikely she will get the job.
