E be like say agbada and gele jam suit and tie for CBN headquarters on August 14th, 2025, as Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, DG of the World Trade Organisation (WTO), waka enter Abuja go meet CBN Governor, Olayemi Cardoso for coded high-level trade gist. 💼🌍💵

Dem title the meeting “Discussing Trade Matters” — which na posh way to say, "we dey reason how Naija fit sell market without selling itself." Inside that closed-door meeting, heavyweights like Minister of Industry & Trade, Dr. Jumoke Oduwole, and Ambassador to WTO, Dr. Adamu Abdulhamid dey present. Na real who-is-who-in-global-economy matter.

Even though dem no release the full gist, the implication clear:
👉🏾 Nigeria dey find better seat for international trade table,
👉🏾 WTO dey check how Naija go balance forex, exports, and policy,
👉🏾 And CBN dey try use economic English to avoid another “k-leg” for global market.

As dem dey talk for Lagos:
“If soup sweet well, na conference dem go hold to know the ingredients.” 🍲📊

Eyes dey watch — make we see whether this meeting go sweet Naija economy or just add pepper without meat. 😅

No worry. She will soon find you wherever you are so she can extend the help to you as well. You also need her advise.

First of , you can't force people to trade with you , secondly, your neighbours are part of the people sabotaging your economy , owing you money for light and gas you provide them .africa is poor , the level of economic trade youneed for development can only be done with those outside Africa.

Where did forcing anyone to trade come from?

You sound confrontational and rude?
I do not engage with that approach

If Nigeroa was to be a country where politicians actually want the best for their citizens such woman should be held close in managing Nigeria’s economy but instead una spit for her face call her names well is never too late to realize their mistakes and seek help to the right direction

How did she help GEJ government when he almost emptied the reserve? You forgot they were even owing and struggling to pay the salary of the civil servants. But she was sincere to say that she pitied the incoming government (of president Buhari)

I guess APC has also bribed this woman. I hope Obi supporters and Ipobs militants from the dots in the circle won't disown this woman now.

And call her a disgrace.

Thank you NOI, if they are doing it wrong criticize them, and if you are sure they did something right, there is no harm in acknowledging it. God bless you
