Irritates me how the Biden administration keeps focusing on who is the first of which race or gender to do this and that. How about just pick who is the most competent person for the job regardless of race or gender? It’s a form of reverse racism if you ask me.

If he did what you said, he wouldn’t be president in the ist place. Politics must be involved in everything.

trust Biden to support her and do the right thing.... she's far too qualified than the Korean woman
Thank God covid 19 made them shift the date of DG WTO voting, Trump would have ruined her chances

She is not more qualified than the Korean woman.

How is she more qualified? What kind of thinking is this?


There is nothing wrong in supporting her because she is OUR NOMINEE but that does not mean we should lose sense of objectivity

Joe Biden has shown his preference for yoruba-americans. That's why he specifically asked that American girl he called on the phone what part of Nigeria she's from

Not been Yoruba is a disadvantage for Okonjo iwela. Especially as the gully erosion ravaged iboe land showed their support for Trump and disdain for Biden/Obama.


Now Obama hasn't forgotten that Okonjo iwela was part and parcel of the destructive and corruption ridden govt of GEJ. If Biden will support her, he would have indicated so long before now like he did on many other issues like climate change, WHO etc. I think Biden agrees with Trump on this one. Iwela is on her own .

No wonder wey she mess our economy up under Jonathan. Her allegiance is to the slave master.

So her Loyalty is to the US be that. How did i miss this one. This guys are head on making sure any bright thing that comes out of the African continent must be Loyal to the West.

Flytime:
exactly, obviously she'll be more loyal to the usa even though she's just a fresh citizen so this is not a win for nigeria or africa,it's a win for america

Is he trying to tell me if buhari says she should do something and biden says otherwise she'll listen to buhari?

The Job is not that kind of Job anyway. The Job has negligible y Executive power. The WTO head is as powerless as the Vice President.
The US will not want a US citizen to head it anyway because the US is involved in so many trade disputes and would not want to have a WTO head compromsed by allegations of bias

Yes, she became a citizen in 2019.

You still didn't give fact why she's not more qualified than the korean woman. Better Google search both qualifications, and feed your brain

[quote author=saajus post=98383819]Just give her the position and let us rest. Nigeria/Africa may not reap any reward from it. Those who control the world's trades know themselves. We know she will just be another figurehead. I wish I can like your comment a million times. Only on rare occasions does one come across intelligent comments like this on this platform.

First American woman? Okonjo betrayed Naija just like that, zero loyalty

. Was Nigeria in a Business of Trust with Her ? Many with Loyalty are in the Grave Yard now without any Compensation for their family ,Who Loyalty help .Mtchewww.Abeg madam Carry go joor

Who she help

The onus is on you who made the claim to prove it

ei incumbit probatio qui dicit non qui negat

the burden of proof lies upon him who affirms, not he who denies

Until proven otherwise . They are AT LEAST equally qualified

At any rate the job carries no executive power and is largely ceremonial

Whatever the case, I'm sure President Biden would not jeopardize the interest of USA on the alter of "first black woman to lead WTO".

Whatever the case, I'm sure President Biden would not jeopardize the interest of USA on the altar of "first black woman to lead WTO".

" First black woman to lead WTO" would not help anybody but herself and her family.

She is STILL Nigeria's nominee
If Nigeria withdraws her nomination she is no longer a candidate.
By the way Nigeria withdrew another candidate for her so there is a reasonable ground to expect loyalty

All the other 44 men to become president before him who didn't play identity politics, including Obama in his first run, did it by magic abi?

The Democrat party has just degenerated into a party of reverse racists that's all. So obsessed with race in every single decision they take. It's against everything even MLK stood for. Content of character not color of skin is what matters.

Even the Korean knows okonjo Iweala is far more qualified, she is the former Managing Director of world Bank

Omoluabi16:
Not even Nigerian-American.

An American is an American whether Asian-American, African-American or Latino-American. Loyalty is to America first before any other thing. Calm down

Omoluabi16:
Not even Nigerian-American.

Her name alone is a clear representation to her ROOT.

I think it was the US election outcome that shifted it....

What has that got to do with this job ?
Is it a bank Job?

Being former MD of World Bank does not qualify her to Coach Real Madrid or to head the World Health Organiztion

Trade is not Banking

The Korean has been working in Trade for nearly 30 years and has been a Minister of Trade in her country
Trade has to do with international politics, negotiations and alliances not development banking or international banking
I see no basis for the claim that our candidate is "more qualified"

ultimately it is a political choice

She has won already.

Do you know how to read and comprehend English at all? I doubt very strongly because if you know how to read, you won't vomit this nonsense you just wrote.

Those 44 men didn’t have a black vice. If they tried, they wouldn’t win.
Making a black woman a running mate propelled Biden to Victory. If not, Trump would have won.

What are you even talking about?

All that black this and that being first time should have happened long ago if racism was not involved. Many backs were qualified but weren’t considered.

Just admit you’re a Republican!!

Ibrahimmrfish:

You can be loyal to two countries, it's call dual citizenship.

Being born a dual citizen and acquiring dual citizenship are 2 different things. When you acquire citizenship, you swear an oath of allegiance to defend your new country against any other country. That is why people who deliberately acquire citizenship are not allowed by law to contest for political office.

NOI is now effectively an American for all intents and purpose. She can’t even be appointed a commissioner in Nigeria. Her constituency is now America. She sold her status as a Nigerian to getting the WTO job and she will be working for the interests of America not Nigeria if she gets the job.

NOI knows what some of us know and many of you have not come to terms with. Nigeria is doomed, there is nothing like Nigeria. Don’t waste your life for a cause that will at some point cease to exist.

If you are supporting her because she is a Nigerian, you are wasting your time. She has turned her back on Nigeria and I have to say with good reason.

ignis:
Is Ngozi an American woman?

Yes. She holds US citizenship. To them, she is American.
