Is she the only dual citizen that have ran for that office before?

Being a Nigerian ( both USA and China ally ) and USA Citizen should help her and not limit her chances

If China goes with Yoo , they will lose thier deputy chair position which is also important to them....I believe NOI will clich it

A very robust outpouring of support out there from SA President ....

As for the amu up there arguing about Yoo being more qualified...note it today that NOI will be elected come Nov afterwards you are free to continue your hate campaign wherever you are

Good one rest on Ma'am

Totally false! As at 8th October, 2020, evidence shows that Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, former minister of finance, is yet to be declared director-general of the World Trade Organisation (WTO).

Recalled that VOICE AIR MEDIA reported that Okonjo-Iweala and Yoo Myung-hee, former South Korean minister of trade, are the two final candidates for the top position in WTO.

The final shortlist for the office of the WTO DG was released by the trade body on Thursday.

Whoever emerges between the duo will become the first female WTO DG since the organisation was set up 25 years ago.

Following the announcement of Okonjo-Iweala as a final contestant for the role, information has been spreading on several platforms across social media that she has been declared winner.

A check on social media saw Amanda Chisom posted her emergence on her Facebook handle and there is no truth in her claim!

HER CLAIM: "*Breaking News:* Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala has been appointed as the first female leader of the WTO."

VERIFICATION:

TO Verify Amanda Chisom's claim, Paul Nwabuikwu, Okonjo-Iweala’s media adviser, said the ex-minister has not been declared winner.

In the statement, Nwabuikwu said the race is ongoing, adding that a winner will be announced in two to three weeks.

“The race for the WTO director-general is still very much on. Contrary to inaccurate information released online by an unidentified source, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala has not yet been declared winner,” the statement reads.

“As announced by WTO, the former managing director of the World Bank and South Korea’s Yoo Myung-hee are the final two contestants left in the race.

Now, The Facts!

“The winner should be announced in two to three weeks. That remains the correct position.

“Dr Okonjo-Iweala is appreciative and energised by the enthusiastic support of Nigerians. And she is urging all to keep praying until the final whistle.”

Tinubu going down this Tinubu going down that as if he doesn't have his own coded people and his own plans.....

It's a game of chess may Nigeria benefit at the end

Tomorrow shall tell but from unofficial channels.....Yes.

What bloody unofficial channels just because WTO will formally annmouce it tomorrow...a news that's already everywhere in the internet space?

Keep your pessimist self to yourself

Something tells me NOI will be schemed out at the end. I cannot see world powers allowing a black leading the WTO.

There's nothing like scheming out or being black factor she's a global citizen served at the highest level and sits on the board of many prestigious organisation
If she's get the consensus and US / China's support she wins if not her opponent wins as simple as ABC

CSTRR:
The only edge she has is that she comes from a far more respected country with a much greater international clout.

She is not bigger than NOI on paper.

Exactly

Guide777:
NOI is going to win and not because she is the most qualified but because she is representing an interest.

Ndi conspiracy theories...you better come out with it or shut up...

What bloody interest is she representing and how is she not the most qualified for the job?

Is yoo too representing an interest? I spit

Fleshly:
It's easily predictable that she will win. There's something about an Igbo man/woman who's determined, there's no force that can stop him/her. Had Buhari shunned nepotism, and allowed an Igbo judge to represent Nigeria at ICC, there's no way he/she will be disqualified at preliminary stages like that Quota system almajiri judge!

I'm sure Yoruba Muslims and their northern almajiri counterparts will surely be pained by this news, but do they really have a choice?? We Ndigbo will continue to be ahead of everybody. We have determined to rule and lead Nigeria and as anyone can see we are using our indefatigable propaganda machinery to bring down anything that stands on our way. For Example the ongoing demystificstion of the drug baron opolo eye bourdillion thief - Tinubu, and the stigmatization of the terrorist in chief Elrufai, are some of our handiworks. By the time we are done with them, we will focus our attention on that short engine pretender pastor in Aso villa. 2023 is ours to make!!! It's either we make it or NO ONE WILL!!

But let me say this for the sake of those fickle minded Igbos, please stop falling for the cheap emotional blackmail of futa jalon illeterates, who keep asking Ndigbo to build bridges. To be honest, there's no tribe that has built bridges more than Ndigbo, but time and again when those bridges are built, the Yoruba Muslims and their northern almajiri counterparts will burn them down out of envy. Now this generation says no MORE! WE ain't interested in building bridges again, and this is paining them because they have discovered that we are ready to square it off with them, and they know we will win!!

Yeah, we will campaign in the almajiri north and we will use our people there to secure their votes, after all the fulanis believe that Igbos are far superior to them, so they have no choice than to vote for our candidate. Though, the northern elites are not happy with an Igbo man ruling Nigeria because they believe he will not easily succumb to pressure, but again they don't have a choice since America has now declared interest in Nigerian elections. And all of us know that the new US foreign policy in Nigeria under president Trump is in favour of Ndigbo. Can everyone now see how intelligent and smart we are?

Immediately Buhari won his elections, unlike the Yoruba people who's elders would have gone to the villa cap in hand begging for handouts, we Ndigbo said NO WAY!! We must never lose our honour, we had rejected Buahari thrice and we will continue to reject him. So what did we do?? We first started with IPOB in order to create a political leverage, thereafter, we took over the cyber space, in order to make sure that news coming outta Nigeria is always in our favour. After that we stood and campaigned for Trump to get elected, and then we began working for our people to get a chance to manage international organizations. This is a master stroke!!

Do you now see how we managed to cage Buhari? and we will continue to use these strategies on him till we drive him outta office and get our person elected. You see why we are always confident in ourselves?? Because we know how to get things done!! No other tribe in Nigeria could have pulled a fast one on a mad general who is the president, and even at that remained adamant after he became president except Ndigbo. Even if we conduct elections 10 times, Buhari will still lose the Igbo votes and we are not apologetic about it. Sometimes when I remember that I'm Igbo man, I feel intoxicated because nothing in life can be better than it.

So you now see why the northern elites are pushing for GEJ presidency, because they know for sure an Igbo man is coming and they are morbidly afraid of it, because they understand that Igbos don't cave in under pressure and they don't like that. But do we care?? NEVER!

Now imagine NOI as the DG of WTO and Peter Obi as the president of Nigeria. I tell you not even South Africa can measure up with Ndigbo in terms of GDP Per capita. When you see most of our governors building airport, do you think it's just for fun?? No! It's in anticipation of what is to come. The world is about to be taken by storm by Ndigbo. But we must play our own by remaining steadfast on the part of independent thinking and same mindedness.

I'm Igbo but this is load of rubbish... rubbish and nonsense

SweetBuns:
so we noticed that this boy has been working harder lately and this attracted more giveaways from us and relative (he is a very good boy)... he was looking far cash to buy an 'android phone'

he kept telling me how he will finally take selfies, chyke girls, blah blah (na village dude o)... i am a friend to him so i helped him with a bit of cash too.

too bad that the boys in computer market were smarter than him

he came excitedly to the house yesterday beaming with smiles while saying he bought the phone with the "clearest camera" in nigeria.

that he bought a Infinix Camon.

As he said that, i knew he had fallen prey to the Aba boys

we explained that the phone is fake to him and now he hasnt eaten since then

mama has laughed to stupor and told him she'd help him get another.

he shed tears and i felt sorry. dude didnt know better.

see the specs of the phone.
the infinix camon.

50mp camera

I took exception to the use of Aba boys in your story...what has hard working ABA boys got to do with this ...stop this nonsense....just stop it

It is well

Very correct

Witnes:
U spoke my mind and really know what is happening in the fight against terrorisms in Nigeria. If u see the kind of cars and luxurious houses these uniform personnel uses nowadays , I will ably agree with u 100% that their sources of money is absolutely questionable

This is just Business to them nothing more nothing less.....

English that's all it is ....if it is anything else please do let me know

Too bad so he's now a common fraudster?

As if they don't know what to do and how to end the war..

You want them to attack their source of wealth? Their only means of livelihood?

How will they buy properties for themselves and mistresses if they do that?

How willl they find dollars to loot?

Zulum this is just an enterprise for them or do you have another gold mine for them to explore? If you do, then come forward with it may be they will have a change of heart...

For now your advice is dead on arrival ....is just the ranting of a bloody civilian...
