Okonjo Iweala can easily be manipulated. I never hoped that she will get the job cos i know she will not. Let her concentrate on her ministry here and we will evaluate her later.

emmysam2: Am not surprised about Obama's nomination. Ngozi Iweala may have the credentials & credibility for the job(and perhaps be the top notch for the job), but it doesnt work that way! There are more to International politics than mere sentiments and rhetorics. The World Bank Presidency job is a big, big positon. Diverse economic interests are at staked. Just maybe the Developed countries are willing to concede the position to an "Emerging Economy" but definitely not to any country that they believe cannot protect "the interests at Stake". Ngozi Iweala has an uphill task contending for the prestigeous job. Even if she doesnt get the job, it is noteworthy to acknowledge it in the anals of history that she was credible enough to be nominated. I stroongly wish her a big success at this Herculean ambition!

There are loads other people credible for the Job. Heads of Business schools, other Finance ministers, senior staffs at World Bank itself etc.

Personally, I think its better she doesn't get nominated. She herself aint as "good/fair" as we thought she'd be. Read a lot about her and her brother (brother I think). She's loving the money and wants more. This is not about patriotism or wot not. You lot going on like she should get it, how on earth would it reaaally affect ur lives?
I'm yet to see what she's reaaally doing in her current ministerial post. Obasonjo spotted some "crookedness" in her, when he sacked her under his regime. Etc. B4 some of you go on to say, nobody is clean in posts like these. Well, she's from a developing country, she aint done shiit to develop the country. And don't quote or mention achievements that involved other prominent nigerian citizens.
It would have been nice tho if Kim wasn't based in the US. But now one can say... oh well, its politics after all.

It is not a new thing, because America is known for playing double standard and moreso corruption is still on the increase in Nigeria, so it is expected. Ngozi baby,had it been you are not from Nigeria may be you will have gotten the ticket to be the next world bank president. i will advise that you change your nationality immediately.

You should actually be ashamed of urself. Heck, pple wud be shaking their heads at you. You really are nothing more than an ignoran dummbo! I'm sorry, rarely do this. Aint even spoken like this on this forum. But u just remind me of some Nigerian pple that just "go with the flow" for the no important reason. You obviously are gunning for her cos she's Nigerian. What happened to gunning for quality pple.
Think pple should reaally get into politics for the wrong reasons, do nothing but have fairly good media coverage. So they could be rest assured dummbo fans like u would keep supporting them, giving them more opportunities to retain their post.
And you're supposedly in a good uni...OAU. And can't brush up on ur news...nonsense
Re: World Bank Presidency: Obama Rejects Iweala Nominates Jim Yong Kim by Nnenna1(f): 6:51pm On Mar 23, 2012
Interesting and surprising choice from obama. Kim only has a background in health, is a doctor and holds a post as president of Dartmouth University. A little out there for a finance position. There are much stronger American candidates than Kim but I guess Obama has his reasons.

If the position is to be given strictly by merit then Iweala is the strongest candidate of the three nominees announced. Actually it seems like Obama's choice has increased her chance of getting this slot. I doubted her chances before but hmmm. America calls the shots though so by virtue of that Kim will most likely win.

Well I guess we'll have to wait and see - so far we have Iweala (Nigeria), Kim (South Korea/USA), and Ocampo (Colombia) for nomination.

Hahaha, I have always been saying it in other threads that her past role in Nigeria political activities will stand against her. Obama brilliancy is inborn, what some fools who fight in the name of tribalism cannot see obama can see it from afar. Someone who cannot control the finances of Nigerian govenment is nominated to control the world bank. It's not all about credentials and qualifications, it's all about tranparency, accountability and capability. Her role in the fuel cubsidy saga will not allow her, call NOI, madueke, Sanusi, GEJ and ask all of them how many per litre of fuel do Nigerians consume per day, they will all fumble and say different things. She collaborated with Nigerian Govt to decieve many gullible Nigerians, they use her as a tool to inflict pain on many in the name of palliative, refinery and others therafter GEJ anounced that no more palliative and FG is planning to build refinery abroad. Liesssss, she is deceitful, dishonest, egoistic, full of forceful and dangerous policies and some some think obama is gullible like some fools who called themselves Nigerians.What many gullible who are blinded by tribalism cannot see while standing and jumping, obama can see it when sitting or sleeping with eyes closed

What value would she really add as world bank president?

Nigerians, quit daydreaming and let us face our problems square. The potential is huge, everybody acknowledges this worldwide but we have to make it work by fixing fundamental issues such as corruption and and weeding out agents of disunity.

Our people in the diaspora have only really helped themselves and a Nigerian world bank president to me is just a novelty.
