Thank you Buhari.

Olatunji1929:
for what pls?na ur papa nominated her?if buhari didn't nominate her can she nominate herself

Because Buhari didn't have a choice.

Look at the Aboki he appointed to ICC. The idiot came 20 out of 20 candidates.

If Nigeria had gone with her first nominee, do u think we will be here?

Give Ngozi the credit she deserves joor

brexit:
Please you people should salute the foresight of Mr President for that substitution as if he knew WTO has made up its mind to give it to a female



All the nations that brought out their best among the males have been rejected


A big KUDOS to PMB, join me to congratulate him, together we will make it irrespective of tribe and ethnicity

Splendid

Yoruba Muslims will be in sifia pain.

Chai!

Igbo Amaka!

Umu Chineke eh!

I pity you

Buhari even substituted another person to push Okonjo Iweala.

Mrs Okonjo-Iweala, a former Nigerian finance minister, was nominated for the position by President Muhammadu Buhari after Nigeria withdrew the candidacy of Yunov Agah, Nigeria’s permanent representative to WTO.

Mr Agah’s candidacy, already approved by AU Executive Council, was withdrawn in a request letter dated June 4.

He substituted Agah, who is presently one of the Deputy Directors-General of WTO for NOI.

GREATNESS

NOI

ALL THE WAY

Awol1:

Chai!

Igbo Amaka!

Umu Chineke eh!

nwanna this is not necessary

The original slay queens... NOI you have our support.

ignis:
Very poor self centered tweet, why mention Buhari?

I think is time you accept Buhari as a real niggarr.

That reaction sha

Best of luck to Madam NOI, she deserves the position.

This nonsense has no direct impact on the common man

Awol1:
Yoruba Muslims will be in sifia pain.

Chai!

Igbo Amaka!

Umu Chineke eh!

.. Mumurism

China is behind the Asian nominee; too many politics to this position. Okonjo might not win.

Cool.
A nation makes great strides if it selects her best to rep it. NOI has made her mark in her chosen field. She didn't get to this stage by accident.

See how Naija got bashed when it presented one sharia qualified, affidavit totting, gworo munching character to the ICC.

One more step to go, NOI. All the way, ma'am!

More blessings are coming your way ma'am

Wow this good news
Another Okonjo Iweala on the way........me

One reply is humble while the other has a bit of pride

Very poor self centered tweet, why mention Buhari?

How is this in any way going to improve Nigeria? Congrat to her anyway. I think she win this.
But I think it's high people come back home and fight for a greater Nigeria

Awol1:
Yoruba Muslims will be in sifia pain.

Chai!

Igbo Amaka!

Umu Chineke eh!

here goes our hate filled Igbo brothers again .


humble NOI thanked our beloved President for giving her a chance. but the first thing your empty hatred filled brain made you do is to throw abuse on those that your existence means nothing to


that's the one of the reasons why only some smart version of Igbo can excel, the rest are destined to be keyboard warriors .. so many igbo are smart but you are not one of them


God bless my friend like brother uche wherever he is, one of the kind,smart, intelligent Igbo I have seen, he made an impact in my life. I'm sure he would be highly disappointed in you. Igbo get level
