So u ve swallowed ur humble pie and said congratulations? I rmb u were against her then simply because she's Igbo.
U swore with ur testicles that she can nva win it.
Now u ve come to preach unity cos an Igbo woman has been appointed first female WTO president.
I spit on ur tribalistic bald head

What do you guys gain from lying shamelessly on a faceless forum? If I ask you to provide proof of your allegation now, you will run away just like your other brothers or come back to spew more rubbish without providing any proof. Smh!

The future is bleak for present day Nigerian women.

Lets be sincere, it will be rare 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 usually ignore comments like this but I must say "craze dey your head, ur hatred for the female gender will bring u to shame".

So u are blind to the way females are reaching out these days be it entertainment, politics, education etc.

I understand the females around u are all into runs, brainless and wasted.

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.

When the said country has more than half the patent and copyright in the world, you should shut the hell up.

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.

There is absolutely nothing about the ignorant Buhari's administration for Ngozi Okonjo-Iwuala's WTO position. It is all about Ngozi.

Lol. There is nothing to 'read slowly'. Thank you for showing that I made a typo, but the message clear well well - and the typo will not be touched because some guy on the internet is trying to correct me for English. Just lol.

Grow up and act with maturity. Anonymity of nairaland is not a reason to be unpleasant.

Thank God she won eventually. I'm excited for her. She is wonderful and respected and as I said before the children are great.

The World Trade Organization (WTO) deals with the global rules of trade between nations. That should answer your question.

To wit: an American or British WTO DG - inspite of the outward appearance of being neutral - would actually push American and British interests in negotiation and arbitration, frequently conferring with their president/prime minister. The question of "what it means for us" realizes that Dr. Iweala's would be highly unlikely to push Nigerian (or African interests for that matter), so while this is certainly historic, it doesn't change anything on ground.

These BMC clowns will never cease to amaze. The same NOI you clowns were calling all sorts of names? Where is the Kemi Adeosun you and your fellow zombies were saying is better than NOI? Of course the incompetent clown was booted out in disgrace for forging NYSC certificate.

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.

The Western Igbos as they were known in colonial times became Midwestern Igbos post 1963 and then Bendel Igbos post 1970. They later became Delta Igbos from 1991 and was later christened Anioma by an Ohaneze Ndiigbo chieftain, Dennis Osadebay , an Asaba man.

Anioma is an acronym for the four main Igbo speaking units found in Western Igbo.

1. A= Aniocha
2. N= Ndokwa/Ukwuani
3. I= Ika
4. O= Oshimili


MA= was arbitrary added to make it sound close to an Igbo word, hence ANIO-MA. Meaning beautiful land in Igbo language.

Of the four units above. Aniocha and Oshimili , where Okonjo hail from and who are jointly called Enu-ani (Upland) are on the majority proud of their Igbo identity as they share boundary with South East.
Whereas the Ika ( where the Army chief Irabor)hail from do not share boundary with SE and have a rather intense boundary relationship with their Edo neighbors hence are neck deep in identity crisis.
The Ukwuani where Sunday Oliseh hail from have boundaries with Isoko and Urhobo people and have too much interactions with these non Igbo tribes, hence are deep in identity crisis as well.

So yes. The Igbo in South East have over time come to realize Ika and Ukwuani/Ndokwa hostile nature towards us and their Igbo denial, hence we are quick to deny them too.
But for the Enuani (where Okonjo, Jay jay Okocha, Nzeogwu, Pat Utomi) hail from, with exception of places like Issele uku, the people from this part are proud of their Igbo identity and Ndiigbo in return are quick to embrace and support them.

Is the mama there as Nigerian or American?

She was nominated by Buhari, so technically she's there as a Nigerian.
However, she is a faithful student of Western dogma, and will look to Biden and Johnson for direction, so she will run as an Anglo-centric American.

It's all good and we all wish her well... afterall she managed to get Nigeria's loans restructured/paid off based on her influence within the World Bank back in OBJ's time, so we'll see.

Not sure this is accurate. There are nearly 50 million Nigerian ladies aged 18-50 (200 million * 1/4). Even if you take only 1% of them who are at at Dr. Iweala's level in terms of talent and potential, that's still 500,000 of them working hard behind the scenes. You don't see them because they are not on Instagram. They are pilots, lawyers, professors, bankers, doctors, businesswomen, IT professionals, and so much more.
