Sentiments Aside, Is Ngozi Okonjo More Qualified Than Her Korean Counterpart? by Nobody: 5:37pm On Oct 29, 2020 |
Hello Everyone. I have read news circulating the media of how the US intend to use its veto power to vote for Minister Yoo for the position of DG in the World Trade Organization. This didn't go down well with many Nigerians as many believe that Okonjo is more deserving of the position than her Korean counterpart. I have personally looked through both their profiles, leaving sentiment aside, I can categorically say that Minister Yoo is also deserving of the position. Even more deserving I may say. This is based on trade and not finance. So I would like to know from everyone here, kindly share why you think Okonjo is more deserving of the position. Thank you. |

The organisation is more about Trade. Not finance or some hypes. While I'm not an anti-Ngozi fan, I'm yet to really see Naomi significantly grow Trade/Finance in her past engagements. Not the words here, significantly grow. It's one thing to manage an establishment, it's another thing to grow it, it's in a different league to significantly grow it. Ngozi is more of the manager of existing strictures rather than a significant grower. 2 Likes |

They are both qualified for the position but most nation want Africa to head the position this time. USA have right to support whoever they want...They are only protecting their economy policies.. Cc RuudVanNisteroy 2 Likes |

All the candidates are eminently qualified ...this is not about trade alone and the DG is more of a manager that ralliers the foot soldiers from different countries in WTO to come to an agreement on issues... If this was all about trade then US and China issues won't be there... Japan and South Korea issues which Yoo is aware of won't be there.... This role requires someone who can play the required politics and NOI has that ..... 1 Like |

I think this decision is driven by the USA- China trade conflict. USA will be more comfortable with a South Korean candidate than an African candidate considering China hold on Africa countries presently. Barak Obama, a black man, prevented Dr. Ngozi from becoming the World Bank president in 2012 by supporting a South Korean Candidate. It will always be about policy for any America president. They are not like our leaders driven by emotions or ego . I believe it is a political economy decision by the USA. Mrs Ngozi is a register member of the Democratic party in the USA which is China friendly at the momemt. The Republican party in power will not support a candidate that is not in alignment with Trump trade policy. The South Korea candidate from a political economy view will be more in alignment with Trump trade policy considering America relationship with South Korea. This is also why China supported Mrs Ngozi over a South Korean candidate because of Africa trade relationship with China. It has nothing to do with hatred for black or Nigeria but simply a political economy decision. Nigeria government should also apply same principle when going into international trade agreement. The USA needs to clarify why China supported her and Dr Ngozi needs to show to the USA that America interest will be protected. It is a political economy decision. 17 Likes |

Study both resumes, and the other person is more qualified. USA has nothing against her as she is their citizen and has already sworn allegiance to them in that oath and they have more ways to hold Iwela down since she pays taxes there are other things. Compared to the other person. It is simply that Iwela does not have the experience, strength and vitality and that sharpness the organization needs to break out of its slumber. But trust black people to cry about everything and shout racism. Anyway if a black woman gets it it is a good look for black woken everywhere to rise higher so I am not against her getting it. |

RedPhoenix: What has NOI managed here in Nigeria. South Korea is one of the world's biggest trading partner, they export goods and services abroad. The woman from south Korea is the minister of trade in south Korea, i believe she has more sound qualification in that field than NOI. 2 Likes |

Overqualified. Sentiments aside the Korean cannot lace Aunty Ngozi’s shoes. OP kill this hate syndrome before it eats you up. If you continue like this someone might take your glory when you need support. |

Media, Nationality makes us very sentimental. We want to get the job we are well-qualified for, but if another person gets the job based on blood relation, we shout tribalism, nepotism, etc. To me, it should be strictly based on merit. The better woman should take the job. |

All this talk about who is more qualified is irrelevant. If NOI was not qualified enough for that position, she would never have gotten this far. At this point, the only thing that matters is who the candidates (and their countries) are allied with when it comes to trade and even generally – and for this reason, a South Korean will always top a Nigerian in the eyes of the US. Protecting vested interests is what matters, no more no less. *** Good one Ratedgang, but please get rid of the thought behind those sentences I struck out. Ratedgang: 3 Likes 1 Share |
