So it is now racist to refer to NOI as a grandmother? But it is feminist to tell her to focus on her career titles rather than personal ones, as in the case of Hilary Clinton?

Confused lots.

The same racist thinking made the Most Racist U.S President Trump tried to stop her.

Its their way. Racism is in their DNA.

Bloody arrongant pinkish cream colour boloks ignorantly claiming white.

Who cares? Shes Nigerian and We are proud of her.
At least shows Nigerians have good and bad, this one is not a Drug peddler or a terrorist or someone Linked to ISIS.

They can Fuck_ themselves for all we care.
I am happy for her success! End of story

Racist...e pain dem.

I don't understand. Is she not 66 and is she not a grandmother?

Resurrection212:
What's wrong there? Does she not a grandmother before?

She doeseth

She doeseth

They are maddar fucking mad.

Black people with primitive mentality, tell us what is wrong with the word 66 years old grandmother, you may see it as racist but some people will see it as a sign of respect, Africans are the mother of all racist, my advice to you is to think wise

lastempero:


Everything that is wrong with your head.

Ofcourse she is a grandmother. Next pls

Somebody help!!! E don enter street oo, na market remain

Nigerians too dey complain.

Tomorrow someone will say, racism will end. Like it has been said time without number, no matter how fair or white you are, once your innermost heart is dark, you are a dark devilish person.

Majority of them gives out those fake plastic smile which if you are not careful might mistake it for likeness not knowing the person has this deep seated hatred, jealousy and envy for you.

Racists!!!

What they do not know is that the title "Grandmother" is something of pride in Africa. Every mother wants to be a grandmother. Africans are not ashamed of the title. We are proud of it.

I think Nairaland has no news to report, rubbish

This is can be viewed from a racist point of view.
The approach is an act of racism and white supremacist.

fvck them

That word has nothing to do with racist even in the West, only idiots link it with racist

Mightyhaiz:
Whats wrong with a 66 year old Nigerian grandmother if she can more than deliver..?

..or is it because she is African? Most world leaders are grand parents..

Its not right.. Its a subtle diss

Yes most world leaders are grannies, have they called any of them that?

Its like seeing someone you hate.. But the person is impeccable but, you look for something bad about her, to label her with that.. Totally wrong

Yet she can never be president of Nigeria cos of hatred for igbos
But a certain nepa bill holder is loved by all including the ewedu eaters cos of hatred for igbos

She is a grandmother and 66yr old, so what is wrong in it?

i don't understand that newspaper language but i definitely saw problem twice. Wahala dey oh

Northern online warrior!

Does it matter?

What have those racist newspapers called Joe Biden that is 80+ years and just assumed presidency?

NOI is on course to deliver world dividends to Nigeria, Africa and the entire world.

Distractors should leave her alone now that their plot to deny her the office has failed.

Next time you don't abuse your home and run to another person land thinking it is a El Dorado ..This oyibo will never like you racial abuses all over the internet...This are the really stuff they are made up of, the anyone that has not yet joined them is pretending..

Allow that guy to be talking trash. He behaves like the story about other animals in Animal farm where they said Two legs good, four legs bad. To him, once a white person made that statement, it is not wrong but if a black person made same statement, all hell will lose it glow and burn the whole earth.

If they compare German chancellor and Okonjo Iweala, who is the person that looks old and worn out enough to be called Grandmother leader?. Everything is wrong with that heading. Imagine her being labelled as such despite her Sterling qualifications, if she commits while chairing that organisation, she would definitely be called out to be crucified publicly.

istina:

Exactly! How old is the new American president Joe Biden self?

You're very right!

People who would not vote her to be president of Nigeria are the ones ranting!

Many of you won't vote her because she is Igbo, female, does not share the same faith with you, etc.

Indeed many Nigerians are hypocrites!

She's a 66 years old Nigerian grandmother na.

If you describe a black man by the colour of his skin he will call it racism but they constantly refer to others as white.

We need to librate ourselves from our slavery.

The people you are calling racists are still the ones that voted for her unanimously.

OP lacks basic understanding of English.

tritt:
E dey their blood,awon racist. But make we even reason am small, this woman has got brainssssss.

Now see this part.

Okonjo-Iweala has a Bachelor’s in economics from Harvard University and a Ph.D. in regional economics and development from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). She also holds honourary degrees from over a dozen universities globally.

She was a two-time minister of finance in Nigeria and minister of foreign affairs. She is the first female to take up both jobs.

She is a board member at Twitter, Standard Chartered Bank, and African Risk Capacity. The 66-year-old was up till February 2021, the co-chair of the Global Commission for the Economy and Climate.

She is a member Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) international advisory board; IMF external advisory board; and AU special envoy.

She won the global finance minister of the year 2005 by Euromoney. She was one of the top 100 most influential people in the World for 2014 by TIME Magazine.

She was also one of the top 100 global thinkers for 2011 and 2012 by Foreign Policy.

The top 100 most powerful women in the world by Forbes Magazine would not have been complete in 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 without her name.

She holds some of the highest national honours from Nigeria, Liberia, and Cote d’Ivoire.

Kudos Madame!!!!

BS! She was a two time Finance Minister under the most corrupt government Nigeria ever had.

Storm in a tea cup...she does not need this distraction.
