Your Fasola is a hype. Erosion, flood and dirt is killing Lagos and your SW media keep hyping him, while he steals Lagos blind, in cohort with the master thief Tinubu.
I will have you know that your Fasola begins and ends in the SW, no one knows or cares about him elsewhere.
BTW, have you finished the milk in your feeding bottle? I have some baby juice for you.

what a perv

ZnO:
Silly Arrow going about on all Ngozi thread. I hope you do not choke with inferiority complex.

She is our ''god'', much as Tinubu the drug pusher is yours. Live with it or die trying to.

you must be obsessed with me. i can see

IYA NGBALI:
in that case we should introduce sango banking along side obatala banking

rotfl

ZnO:
You be proper Ode. She is serving to help lift you from poverty, and to prepare herself to become the first female president of Nigeria

Bio:
BS Harvard
Ph.D. MIT
VP, World Bank
Finance Minister, Nigeria
Foreign Affairs Minister, Nigeria
Senior Fellow, Brookings Institution, USA
MD, World Bank
Finance Minister, Nigeria
Plus tens of other secondary positions she is holding.
President Nigeria (in anticipation)
Let me see you produce any female, Yoruba or not, that can beat that status.

lol. this is exactly why Nigeria has not has a Igbo president in ages. God knows we might even never have one (if we split).

I personally will vote for Ngozi as president if she accomplishes enough as finance minister for Nigerian people. World Bank for example doesn't have a good track record of helping African people positively. and that is one reason why I don't care too much for her. who knows if she really represents Nigerian interests or World bank interests.
I would vote Fashola over Ngozi anyday. and Fashola hasn't accomplished anything according to your silly definitions of success.but he has accomplished plenty according to my definition.

congrats to him.

but I will have to say that the Niger Govt is either silly or out of it's mind!
this guy will be serving UK interest not Niger interest!!
Anyone can know this just by reading his credentials. It's all UK based.

he might as well be UK ambassador to Niger

To the rest of Nigeria she is just human but to Ndigbo, she is super-human.  I'm not sure they see her as God but I could be wrong!

I'm just starting to realize that as well. Igbo people definitely see her as God. lol

ZnO:
Your most successful Yoruba woman is a tailor and garment maker advertising herself on cyberspace. Oh! How much Oyo empire has fallen.
She is not fit to untie the shoe lace of even the MD of EMZOR pharmaceutical company, Lagos. Now run along, little sissy, your bottled food is getting cold.

no woman is the most successful woman. tayo ogunlesi is just one of THOUSANDS of successful yoruba women. and I used that example because she was mentioned in the video on the first page.

i'm sorry if Ngozi is your idea of the most successful woman.lol

Zno,

your stupidity is out of this world. Ngozi herself would be disgusted.
Why would she quit World Bank to come back to Nigeria if her definition of accomplishment were close to yours.

In fact, I think her starting as finance minister in Naija is the BEGINNING of her accomplishments. i'm sure she feels the same. otherwise, she would have stayed in WB.

aww see GEJ when he was still a "future president"

I definitely do not think that there is a single most accomplished person in Nigeria or any particular country. People have different areas of interest and the accomplished ones excel at it.
you should try rewatching the video.  at min 17:45, the only other woman Ngozi mentions as an example of successful African women is Adenike Ogunlesi. a Yoruba woman.

ZnO:
Believe whatever frigging thing you like. I give no rats ar.se to any of your belief because you are one damn inconsequential, faceless entity.  BTW, if you claim any Yoruba woman is more accomplished than Ngozi, please provide the person's name so we can clap for her.

[sarcasm]accomplished based on what definition? this one? [\sarcasm]

ZnO:
Lol Ngozi was even in Brookings Institution at some point

Harvard
MIT
WORLD BANK
Brookings
World BANK
No Nigerian, dead or living, has beaten that.

ZnO:
You now seek to turn the table. Please before you make this thread about me, first show your woman who is better than Ngozi
And no, I do not need to prove that I am an assistant professor on tenure track. I have said that before. Since I cannot say my name here, I guess you can believe me or not as you wish.

Lots of Yoruba women are more accomplished than Ngozi.
Ngozi herself will be the first one to admit to that.

I feel sorry for you that you value your worth based on what western institutions you are accepted in. u need to grow up. I do not believe for one second that you are a professor. maybe if you said TA then I might believe.

^ hahaha

SEFAGO:
U guys are funny ooh.
Nothing she said is advanced or theoretical. Infact she does things the Nitty gritty way by trying to convince people to invest in Nigeria and trying to sell the fact that the government if trying to improve the business environment in NIgeria to encourage FDI.

you are also right.
it's all how you look at it.
I think Seannet's comment was from a more broader perspective and not particularly about the content of the ted talk alone.


ex. she voiced optimism about the success of her strategy to increase foreign exchange reserve. the irony is that the reserve is being depleted due to corruption and is no longer a success story.

I don't think she's overrated though. I think she's brilliant. I'm just maybe biased against the world bank background and wonder if that will serve Nigeria well. it's better than what we used to have anyway. lol

seanet02:
Even Ibori can do better than this. Her theoretical conjectures can not work in Nigeria.

lol. I think I agree with you.
she's too influenced by World Bank

ask her why she didn't invite you to the wedding. it could have been an accident. do you still talk to her everyday? why keep malice against someone you talk with everyday?


a lot of invitations to weddings nowadays include list of wedding gifts to tick. lol to look at it positively, maybe you were lucky you didn't get the invitation.

tom28:
Beautiful family but then were is the husband?

maybe she doesn't have one. it's not by force
yea her family is beautiful

YES!!!!

kandiikane:
What punishments have now been placed for stubborn students? A time out, detention, suspension?

good question.

^ I think you should put a disclaimer in your first post to let us know that you are not the author/ do not share the perspective of the author.
that will remove the confusion.

who is she?

she looks pretty and happy. ditto with the kids

[quote author=isale_gan2 link=topic=635614.msg8065725#msg8065725 date=1302102344][/quote]as in the father is out working and not spending as much time in the "home" to contribute to child's development.
maybe it has always been this way?

After the babies are had, there are still many years of left over for the woman to hold gainful employment. A degree is never wasted.

this is very very hard to do. not a lot of employers are willing to hire someone who got a degree but has a blank resume for 10+ years. Even in western world where men do more housework and help to raise the kids, women still have a harder time getting back into the workforce if they leave for a while and many times are underpaid in comparison to their credentials,male coworkers. they also tend to work less hours in the office because of higher home responsibilities.
so I won't be surprised if there are many housewives out there who are so not by choice but because they can't find a job after spending yrs at home raising kids. unless they have a financially ok husband to open a shop/business for them of course. 


I personally also feel that if more Nigerian women are career women, there will be an increase in single motherhood or tension in the home because not a lot of women will be willing to tolerate rubbish from their oga husbands anymore. see nigerian couples abroad for an example of this. maybe then the men will change like many western men have.
men need to start contributing to housechores and stop acting like oga if they want to have a career wife. because she is not going to be as subordinate anymore.
