₦airaland Forum

Nigeria’s former Minister of Finance, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has said she is ready to lead the World Bank, if nominated for the job.


Okonjo-Iweala stated this while speaking on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos.

Having contested against Jim Yong Kim, the outgoing president, she said many people have been asking if she would take the job.


“I know that, because I contested the last time in 2012, and many people were asking that question. It is a shareholder’s decision and they have to decide how they want it. Someone has to nominate.

“If the right person were to nominate, and if the circumstances are right and people feel I can do the job, yes,” Okonjo-Iweala said.

Okonjo-Iweala was then asked by CNN’s Richard Quest if she has declared her candidacy.


“No I have not declared my candidacy, you asked a hypothetical question and I answered it fairly. I’m very happy right now, and I just want you to know that I’m enjoying life for a change for a portfolio of what I like,” she replied.

The rich and the "always want to be richer" Syndrome.

I just like this woman. Hit "like" if you like her too


With an internet and your smartphone, you also can be rich. Check my Signature below!

A woman full of brains, beauty and dignity....despite her level of success, she is still an obedient wife unlike some idiats that champion feminism yet they die inside

Yes! She deserves it wella! It is because of people like Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Amina Mohammed, Akinwunmi Adesina, Wizkid, Davido, Genevive Nnaji etc. that Nigerians still have some form of respect internationally. People look at them and conclude that Nigerians cannot all be scammers and drug peddlers. We will be fine!

This lady is ballng higher and higher...... good to know!!

Great woman

role model

Really

The idiot that supervised corruption in Nigeria

I Hope and Pray Donald Trump Selects her

Who wants to give this fraudster who should be cooling off her heels in Kuje prisons, World Bank President?

Under your watch, Dasuki had the pleasure of looting our treasury.

You had a steady $100, yet you left less than $25 billion in reserves

Kemi had to deal with $50, but our reserves are at $42 billion.

All you flatooo shouting military expenditure..

Who was Minister when $16 billion power industry funds were wasted?

And your mummified and zombified haters down here in Nigeria can't understand the "technology involved" in this impending possible feat.

Meanwhile since you left the post ma, the APC govt NYSC certificate forger fella that took after you was indicted in the scandal.However, she was never arrested, prosecuted, convicted or punished accordingly in the sanctimonious criminal saints government.

Instead, she was well shielded and escorted out of Nigeria to hide over in London by the hypocritical anti-corruption fighting government.

Hopefully my wife will attain such greatness as Ngozi.

You are an idiiioooot! If you don't delete this your senseless post ehn, you and four generations after you will not amount to ANYTHING. Okponu jati jati!

This woman with her wealth of knowledge and accolades worked with a corrupt government that gradually dragged us into recession.

I sincerely wondered what she was thinking as finance minister. The job she probably should have rejected rather than be on the other side of history.
