Okare

I dont know this woman

I dont know if she's an American

I dont know if she's osu or not

I dont know if Buhari likes her or not

I dont know if she share same view with Nnamdi Kanu ir not.

But i know she's a role model for my daughter,

Tho i don't know much about her personality but her dressing dey scatter my head, she's never ashamed of tying her headgear while rocking her indigenous outfit.

Mama i hail u ma, na u be the Odogwu, the Ogaraya

Ngozi and Barrack Obama has shown that neither ur gender nor skin colour can stop u from getting to the top.

Get ur behind up that chair and sail through the perilous seas, no be to deh blame Buhari for ur misfortune


Ur mindset is ur own limitation, the sky no get limit, Barrier is an illusion and ur perception about reality is more real than reality itself.

HBD to a wonderful woman

May God continue to bless all the hard working Igbo women including my Igbo girlfriend , Chisom and beautiful daughter .

God blessings shall never depart from all my Igbo friends and the lovers of Igbo race .

I know in my next life,God will create me Igbo and success shall never depart from me and my household.

Happy birthday Madam Ngozi Okonjo Iweala.
I wish you many more prosperous years , amen.

One of three influential normal people Nigeria has ever produced.

Me, Dangote and Ngozi, haters go and die

Happy birthday to a woman of substance and achievement.
Maybe as a member of the Twitter Board of Directors, you can talk sense into the dullards empty skull

Happy birthday NOI..please help let the world hear about Nigeria predicament..Nigerians now bid for division

She's in bed with those racists

Ngozi Okonjo Iweala is a traitor!

An African leader that has sold her birth country to others for what she can gain.

All these comments above hailing her....
What has she EVER done for any of you before?
That's why Nigerians will always struggle with leadership, they are always choosing their leaders based on ethnicity, religion and personal preferences. Hardly ever on the basis of performance.

So it is Oyibo people that will determine the best leaders for Africa when they put them in charge of their own institutions?
You people don't think they are there to serve the white man's interest and not yours?

Black people and their fish brain.
