Armaggedon: It becomes an insult when it is not accurately reflecting on all the qualities that won her the position of the WTO Director General. |

This is why understanding the context of a language is very important... That's not what the headline connoted in German... They are literally hailing her as "Big-Mama Nigeria" |

somehow:i don tire to dey correct notions here o.. Those stupes made condescending remarks on the woman by calling her a 66 year old Nigerian granny,as if its a crime to be a Nigerian 66 year old granny.. Now,i ask what is wrong in being a nigerian,and a grandmother ,and moreover one with an intimidating pedigree. So how exactly is that post suppose to draw condemnations from you and ilk? 1 Like |

Mightyhaiz: It is actually not good when used as a headline... “This Grandmother will become the new boss of WTO,” the headline of a report by Luzerner Zeitung read, announcing Okonjo-Iweala’s selection as the director-general. |

Armaggedon: It’s not an insult but she has so many experiences that has made her qualitified for the role. 66 year old HAVARD graduate 66 year old EX-Finance minister Etc But they chose to describe her as a 66 year old grandmother which has nothing to do with her skill set and qualifications! This hard working black woman finally makes it to the top of her career and they sum it up as “66 year old grand mother”. If you can’t see anything wrong in this, the blatant disrespect and racism, then I have nothing else to say! 1 Like 1 Share |

magicminister:So because I have a different opinion from you, it automatically makes me 'ignorant', 'happily stupid' and in need of education? And you think you're normal upstairs for reasoning like this? You think insulting strangers online makes you sound smart? I just feel deeply sorry for your parents who birthed a retarrded idiot. |
Re: Okonjo-Iweala: Swiss Newspapers Call New WTO DG ’66-Year-Old Grandmother' by WoundedLamb: 3:03pm On Feb 17, 2021 |
Lol... well, she's exactly that. What I find off is why three different newspapers would stick to that exact description. Do they have any issues with the age, nationality or marital/maternal status? Anyway, people call women all sorts of names in her home country. This is nothing to her. |
Re: Okonjo-Iweala: Swiss Newspapers Call New WTO DG ’66-Year-Old Grandmother' by ChrisLegacy007: 3:04pm On Feb 17, 2021 |
they were juz tryin' to point out that she's perhaps too old for the job "judgin' from the life expectancy of an average Nigerian" which is below 50years.. blame the gov't.. |

Is having a PhD more important than having a family? Before, it used to be a thing of pride to be called a grandparent but now in the era of political correctness, it's an insult. |
