I thought due process was followed before appointing her. This is bad belle for Nigeria. If you frustrate Okonjo Nwala appointment, Nigerians living in the United States should vote against Trump.

Talking nonsense. I am not surprised. Inferiority complex is the true reason why you are saying that. Who is US against the whole world? What can US do if the whole world stand against it? US hates Nigeria because Buhari is not as ass-licker, a leader that stands with truth. US is a bully and the whole world knows that.
No dey yarn nonsense oga ade. Us is d most powerful country in d world. If it coughs the whole world trembles. Us no be anybody's mate for this world. Us supplies most countries arms ànd ammunition so what re u talking. The dollars alone speaks volume of US dominance. Gba fun oga e

This is not racism but because Nigeria is not a reliable ally. This was manifested in UN when Nigeria voted against USA and Israel.
Dear lord, Despite NOI being US trained Economist oooo !! With US, you can't be your own voice ... same with AFDB Adesina , same with WTO ...

Trump just doesn't want to hear Nigeria ... E be like "How can someone from sh.ithole lead WTO" ... that pigmouthed buffon , Trump !!

She has won this one and I will explain why. The US has just one vote at the WTO. Secondly the WTO isn't like the World Bank where the US is the largest voterband hold enormous influence like the EU does with IMF.As such I don't think they will be able to lobby other countries before the final day (09/11/2020). Okonjo has the majority vote (106 countries at last count).

Remember they attempted something of such with Femi Adeshina but we prevailed. However I agree that Nigeria needs to strengthen it's relations with the US.

This is all about protecting national policy through a trusted ally. Nigeria is not a trusted ally. Somehow the position of backers, both the US and EU, align with those who support nationalism on the American side and those who support Globalisation on the EU side.
Your assertion is completely wrong including the analysts unprojected judgement on the issue. Nigeria is the strongest ally of US in Africa and the trade between Nigeria and US has rose above any other time in the recent decades. Forget abt China mobile phones and petty trade Nigerian do with China, agriculture, spare parts of industries and heavy duty machines and weapons Nigeria buy from US make greater difference. US is just looking for someone who will depend their interest amidst difficult trade battle with China.
The confused gullible dullard Trump who is always supported here by his fellow dullards has shown his real face. The hater of intelligence, racist who isn't even aware of his mission to destroy his country's foreign diplomacy. He has done it with WHO which is headed by African, Ethiopian & perhaps he'll fail again with WTO.
I think she'll win because Trump lost EU support as he's already in disagreement with them in many policies. Recently, Macron asked EU to stop relying on US for weapons.

This is not the Cruz of the matter this is just their excuse to justify their position ......the current WTO needs someone with more than trade experience and they know that......

NOI will still nick it by the time the council meets or via voting or if Biden wins the US election next week.

Beyond your diatribe, our opinions converge at national policy and alliance. The strength of the alliance is weak enough to withdraw support for NOI

Just wait a little.. In a week's time, Trump will loose the elections and the rest of the world will vote in the woman, since it seems Europe doesn't like Americas candidate that much either... If he looses, his influence will drop sharply.

If US succeed with this rigging. Then I see no reason other countries should not withdraw their membership from WTO. This is an eye opener to those who thinks Trump is interested in anything good about Nigeria. They went rejoicing and hailing Trump, simply because he insulted buhari. I wonder what they will do now that he is insulting our revered Okonjo Iweala.
International politics is quite different from mere bread and butter politics. It's all tallied around self interest. Every nation has a right to fight for their interest. US is an ally to South Korea, so you shouldn't expect them to support NOI if it doesn't meet whatever interest they have. We are talking realism.

“So those who say I don’t have trade, they are mistaken. I think the qualities I have are even better, because I combine development economics with trade knowledge, along with finance, and you need those combination of skills to lead the WTO. I think I have the skills that are needed. I am a trade person.”

When was that? Also on what deliberation?
.........
Only recent time Nigeria voted against USA, was pre USA-Iraq War, during George Bush's time.

That eventually played against us at the Hague, due to territorial loss of Bakassi to Cameroon.
