If NOI could be given an award, then 9ice Abolore also deserves an award.

Yale as a prestigious ivy league university does not just dash out degrees.

So the petitions will be received politely and subsequently shredded.
I guess you know very little about change.org. This same platform made Paypal to rescind their decision after banning Nigerians from using their services, It also saved Meriam Yehya Ibrahim from execution in Sudan. It depends on number of people that signs the petition and joins the campaign. So its not easily shredded like you thinking.

Rubbish! The mor0n who filed the petition should be reminded that NOI job isn't to prosecute corrupt officials as she doesn't work with the EFCC or ICPC. From Her office,she can only put in place policies that would prevent corrupt practices. She wasn't in charge of the NNPC and cannot be held accountable for any wrong doing there. Furthermore,the financial and business world globally,work with data gotten/provided and this is what the world bank and other leading bodies globally,have used in predicting the growth of the Nigerian economy.
The petitioner should go look for a job to do;period!
This post is just ludicrous.

Before you call me an NOI hater, the truth must be told. She served under a weak presidency, so her position was a compromised one from the start. As Minister of Finance, there was no way she could feign ignorance on the shenanigans going on in NNPC without being labelled as incompetent. She knew about the sleaze but didn't have the courage to speak up because it involved the oga at the top!

I'm a fan of hers, but she should have resigned from GEJ's government a long time ago. Her stay with the government makes her complicit...

Gan gan. grin I reckon that those who awarded her in the first place have questions to answer too.

I don't get itundecided
"To be withdrawn"....
By who?

I read through the writeup and I never saw any correspondence from Yale University hinting such.

Or does it imply that a certain amount of votes against this woman from APC.org change.org is a veto power of sorts, which even Yale University must bow to?

I wonder why women in politics, especially those who handle sensitive positions keep getting a bad rap.

When indices are compared, she may have, or may not have done so well....
But to say Yale University's honoring her is celebrating mediocrity?

That guy and whoever supports him needs to have their brain, unscrewed, checked and re-assigned if need be.

Her personal achievements speak for her.
Haters, please keep on.
It has a way of fuelling her drive.

Meanwhile...
*a minute silence for Amazon Dora Akunyili*
sad
It's exactly 2 weeks and 2 days to the commemoration of her anniversary.

The petition is perfectly timed. While Yale can award their honoraries to whomever they dim fit, I thinking an explanation here will do alot to saving their name. In all sincerity and honesty, NOI should not have been awarded the degree, using the present state of the Nigerian economy as a reason.

Can someone point out which part of the OP indicated that the degree is to be withdrawn, after it had been awarded her?
Re: BREAKING: Ngozi Okonjo-iweala's Honorary Doctorate Degree To Be Withdrawn by Nobody: 1:43pm On May 21, 2015
Aunty Ngoo is already made Yale or no Yale. She doesn't need a Yale, Harvard, Oxford or Cambridge Honorary degree to be known, she is already known the world over.
To start with she never asked Yale for any award, they saw what she has done both now and in the past and feels she deserves an award. Yale is not an ordinary Nigerian university that dashes her degree to the man with the deepest pocket. They know what they have done and will stand by it.

I will rather advice the jobless petitioner and his supporters on nairaland to rather worry about their own miserable lives, Aunty Ngoo is already up there and nothing they do can pull her down.
