Backlash as Swiss newspapers say the new WTO DG is a ’66-year-old Nigerian grandmother’ You could graduate from Harvard University or bag a Ph.D. from MIT, and rise to become the managing director of the World Bank who wins the heart of 164 countries to be voted WTO DG and still be primarily described as a “66-year-old Nigerian grandmother”. https://www.thecable.ng/backlash-as-swiss-newspapers-say-the-new-wto-dg-is-a-66-year-old-nigerian-grandmother 37 Likes 6 Shares

Whats wrong with a 66 year old Nigerian grandmother if she can more than deliver..? ..or is it because she is African? Most world leaders are grand parents.. *modified* For those quoting me unnecessarily...what i wrote is an admonishment for those stupid authors and i simply meant...what has her age, gender and descent got to do with her capacity ,acheivements and readiness to deliver.. ( cant go simpler than this now,can i?) 233 Likes 6 Shares |

What ever they like, let them call her, as far as she's occupying the position which is the most important thing, the whites are just in a state of shock that an African, a woman for that matter will be occupying the highly coveted position. 75 Likes 6 Shares |

Until we keep Nigeria as it is, we would keep being ridiculed by the world because we would keep getting poorer and slide into the levels of Somalia, if we don't break this monster, we will all become like the North, and it's going to get wayyy worse in the North, Why don't we as blacks ever take time out to see what the future holds? It took the world bank to tell us we are going to get poorer 10 Likes 1 Share |
