The World Trade Organisation (WTO) today formally ratified the candidacy of Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala as its first female and African Director-General (DG).

The decision was taken by consensus at a special meeting today of the Organisation's General Council.



WTO

Okonjo-Iweala had built her campaign on rebuilding trust, hunting for solutions, strengthening the multi-lateral trading system of the WTO amid growing protectionism.


I am proud of Who we are. We are great people. That's why they keep hating!

We go for the best positions!

The future is blink for present day Nigerian women.

Lets be sincere, it will be rear to see women like her in this generation.

Many women here have lost all their educational vibes, all that matters to them now is runs, fashion, gossip and Instagram.
I agree.

Congratulations to her, but I'm irked that just a single country has so much power to determine who becomes the DG. They should go ahead and rename it as USTO.

The vote is based on consensus.

If one country doesn't agree, then there's no vote.

US was the only country that didn't agree

Got any idea how much they contribute to that organization? Lets not even calculate it.

Also, they are the most powerful country in the world. Think I am telling lies, ask the IG of police, he would tell you its true cos he had no idea they rescued their citizen kidnapped in Nigeria till he read it in the papers. cheesy

Congratulations to her. When we unite for a common purpose as a country, not even the US can stop us. Kudos to the Buhari administration for coming through for her. We hope she leads the organization well and show Nigeria’s exceptionalism to the rest of the world.

Mr 2face. One minute he is talking about "uniting for a common purpose", the next he is doing his usual APC PDP division. You can only deceive yourself sha.

Keemsleek005:



I asked a question cos i didnt understand the argument then when they said the chief defence is not an ibo and madam iwela is igbo. All i asked for was clarification and nothing more. Just want to learn more.
Okay, I will explain better. "Delta Igbos" like Igbos in other states do not have a homogenous dialect or even culture. Now, in the Westernmost parts, the cultures have an intermixture with Bini culture and probably influence in the past. So, around Agbor or even Igbanke (Igbo Akiri) in Edo state, there are families with Edo names (Those families are probably from Bini). Although Ika is an Igboid language or Igbo dialect, many people from that area do not go with the Igbo identity, they rather stuck to the Ika identity after the war. So, names like Irabor is surely not Igbo and this caused the initial confusion.
However, Ngozi is from Ogwashi Ukwu, and they have a completely different dialect and history from Ika.
