Wishing her all the lucks she will be needing.

The write-up did not really state that the odds are against her
It's actually an "hungry author" thingy.
Shuddav rather be titled "List of Okonjo-Iweala's Co-competitors for WTO top job"

Mamadou seems the more likely candidate of the 3, judging by CVs

Shut up Yoruba fool stop hating what you fail to conquer, that attitude is wrong. You just want anybody as long as its not Ngozi. But God has a way of shaming the wicked!

[s]And you have to insult me to pass your message?

The World Trade Organisation is an intergovernmental organisation that is concerned with the regulation of International trade between nations.

The World Bank on the other hand is an international financial institution that provides loans and grants to the governments of poorer countries for the purpose of pursuing capital Projects.

Which of the above do you think she's better qualified for?

Also, for which of the above do you think the others are better qualified, considering their background?


"Mamdouh, boasts of a long career in trade policy and diplomacy.
Starting out as a commercial attache in Egypt’s ministry of economy and foreign trade, Mamdouh worked up the ranks, playing key roles at the WTO and partaking in negotiations that have contributed to the standing of the international organisation till date". (Long trade career)


"Another contender is Amina C. Mohamed , Kenyan’s former minister of foreign affairs and international trade.
Mohamed served as her country’s permanent representative to the WTO for six years, emerging as the first woman to chair the General Council of the WTO in 2005, before her appointment as minister. She’s a law degree graduate and a Chevening fellow alumna." (trade background)

Of the two above, one is a trade lawyer who has been in WTO since 1990, the other was her country's perm. rep for six years and even chaired the WTO General Council.


"On the other hand, with a combination of experiences working as a development economist, finance and international development expert, Okonjo-Iweala comes with a set of unique core competencies that position her as a great candidate for the job" (no trade background)

NOI is known the world over for her track record and competence finance and development economics. That is the reason countries will always call on her.

But on this, the two have an edge over her, not because of anything else than trade background.

Ministry of finance is different from mistry of foreign affairs and trade.

Next time, make your comments without insults; you don't have monopoly of it[/s].
Shut up Yoruba fool stop hating what you cannot conquer. You just want anybody as long as its not Ngozi Iweala , but God has a way of silencing the wicked. Nobody is more qualified than that lady in your family, tribe, and among the contenders of the WTO chair. I have cleared you on the dust you raised about her inexperience with trade, now you are bringing Mamouda and Amina from Kenya grin, the Kenyan woman that failed in her role as minister of Education in Kenya plus other ministries she had handled including sports, this is a woman you are rooting over NOI that is 101% fixed on "finance and trade" and known all over the world for that...

You father is a fool, your mother is foolish bastard, you are a stupid pig.

NOI didn't fail as a finance minister?
The same minister who went borrowing to pay salary?

The same woman who had to bribe NA to have budgets passed and supervised the heartless looting of our money?

So anybody that has a different opinion on issues is hating.?
Thunder fire your father.
Tell me who is more qualified than Amina in your entire go generation?


I know you a little roach without proper upbringing, and I blame the failure pig that produced and sent you to public space to cause nuisance

Bastard son of a foolish pig.
