Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala

BY PRINCE HARRY AND MEGHAN, THE DUKE AND DUCHESS OF SUSSEX
SEPTEMBER 15, 2021 7:15 AM EDT

What will it take to vaccinate the world? Unity, cooperation—and leaders like Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala.

As the first African and first woman to lead the World Trade Organization, a 164-member group of nations that oversees trade across the world, Okonjo-Iweala took on the role of director-general this March at a watershed moment for our global health and well-being. Make no mistake, her job affects every person, family and community.

As we face a constant barrage of vaccine misinformation, bureaucratic slowdowns across both government and industry, and the rise of variants that underscore the urgency of the situation, Okonjo-Iweala has shown us that to end the pandemic, we must work together to equip every nation with equitable vaccine access. Our conversations with her have been as informative as they are energizing. This is partly because, despite the challenges, she knows how to get things done—even between those who don’t always agree—and does so with grace and a smile that warms the coldest of rooms.

The fragility of our world right now cannot be overstated. Just over a quarter of the nearly 8 billion global population is fully vaccinated.

Achieving vaccine equity is a global duty of compassion for one another. Our hope is that guided by strong leaders like Ngozi, we can get there soon.

Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, are the founders of Archewell.

I have always thought of hanging her picture in my kids room to always let the mind be in them. I believe with conscious efforts and determination my ward will respond positively. She is really an icon worthy of emulation.
God bless her
God bless positive people
God bless Lovers of progress.

BUT how come she takes Abia State ministerial slot, and no one cries? Isn't Abia an Igbo state? Some of you just come online to cry and say thrash! When Pat Utomi from Anioma in Delta State was the leader of Ohaneze Ndi Igbo in Lagos, did anyone remind him he was "Delta Igbo?" What of Regina Daniels mum from Anioma in Delta State, who became leader of Ohaneze Ndi Igbo women in Nigeria, did anyone deny her the post because she is Delta Igbo?

Sometimes it's better to keep mute in matters you know nothing of!

I don't think madam took any state's slot under OBJ or GEJ. She was essentially a 'minister at large' or 'minister extraordinaire'. Abia had Ojo Maduekwe under OBJ and that Minister of Labour (can't remember his name now) under GEJ.

Someone says she is "the most powerful Igbo woman alive."

If she wants to run for President now, they will remind her that she is Delta Igbo. They will say she's not Igbo enough.

Ndi ara.

She has not yet responded when asked.

That's none of my business! Being Ohaneze Ndi Igbo of Lagos or Ohaneze Ndi Igbo women leader was supposed to attract the Delta Igbo clause based on your theory, but you see how it went!

A lot of Ibos on this website were against her nomination for the WTO job saying she wasn't as qualified as the Korean woman! This was the same position taken by the racist Donald Trump.
The threads are still here on Nairaland.

okonjo iweala is suddenly "virtuous" because she's married? What of Genevieve or some other unmarried sister? May God readjust our mindsets to see things the way He does.

Whether he presented a Fulani man before not not, who presented NOI? Was it him or not?
