Tenure track position as an assistant prof  does not match an MD position of a bank . Tenure track means the said person is on probationary status for  a period of time. Simply put, the person is learning on the job, so she cannot be allowed to manage a dept let alone a bank not to talk of WB.

Look at the the job functions and pay packages. A tenured prof who gets to teach Keynesian and Classical theories  to students is not in the same league wish someone who wields so much power; controls and manages billions of dollars in assets in the global financial community. Most tenured profs in Ivy league would love to be a WB MD, but most MDs in WB would not  like to be tenured profs. Go and ask Irish, Greek, and Spaniards how much influence these Bretton Woods institutions have.

Ignorance is definitely bliss. A tenure track position is way harder than getting a job at world bank. Most Economic PhDs would love to get a tenure track position but cant. So they go to private sector (Mckinsey, Goldman Sachs, NERA) or Public Sector (IMF, Federal Researve, Central Bank of different countries, World Bank). You assume that because private sector jobs command a higher salary that they will be more coveted or competitive? People who do PhDs dont do it for money lol. They are in general weirdos who dont like money.

Most tenured professors at top economic schools (most are not ivies) can go into private sector easily man. Like a breeze if they wanted to.

Its in general 30X more difficult to get tenure track at a top 10 school per se than getting a job at world bank. Now moving to the MD position is of course another story that would depend on your competence levels. A tenured professor at a top ten school for example is not on the same academic plane as anyone on NL including my Mensa wielding self.

Anyways this is irrelevant.

Both these women are one of a kind. If you are talking about qualifications man I doff my hat to both of them. But sometimes perfromance is more important than shining qualifications. Its indeed rare for Africans to reach that level though its really no big deal. There are like a billion chinese with economic PhDs .

Nah she is definitely not easy to find, I actually saw her profile a really long time ago tbh when I was doing some online research (2 years+) and was very impressed. I google a lot of people though with Nigerian names anywhere so chances are if you have met one successful Nigerian in the UK, US or Nigeria, I would know a lot about them just by google stalking their lives.

Dont worry I google random successful people a lot especially NIgerians so no big deal, its a good way to learn different paths to success.

EzeUche:
Sad when Nigerians do not support one of their own. Even when that person is internationally recognized.

Tribalism will blind people. . .

So she is Nigerian now? Odikwa is very risky sha.

Anyhoo, I just think most of her policies are common sense and not worth $300,000+. That na my own probs

seanet02:
SEFAGO ashewo nie. One chance lo fe fi omo yen se.

I have to assess first bros now, If she is a
8-10 long term relationship
5-7 Long term lashing (Bleep buddy)
3-5 One chance and go

Wetin be your own sef, go and find your own

@ Ekt_bear

I found her though actually I had stumbled across her profile a long time before while doing some web surfing so did not take me too long to pull her up. Yeah she definitely seems cool.

Link me up, I am looking for a chick like that ooh  

I am handsome, well educated and a christian. Dont smoke, dont drink, dont chase after women randomly.

@ ZnO/MekusMonkey/NcharaMoron

Ekt_bear is telling the truth. She is definitely going places and definitely has achieved more than even Okonjo so relax.

U guys are funny ooh.

Nothing she said is advanced or theoretical. Infact she does things the Nitty gritty way by trying to convince people to invest in Nigeria and trying to sell the fact that the government if trying to improve the business environment in NIgeria to encourage FDI.

My only bone of contention is her salary. Anyone can probably create and implement the same policies using my common sense for 1/00th the salary.

But man, how do the husbands of these two women handle them, thats the more complex question sha . . .

Which of them is fatter?

Just curious

Emeagwali considered himself a Yoruba lol. Growing up in Yorubaland, we practically shaped him

Tufiakwa.

Abeg na your people who shape am sha

^ the guy knows how to invent usernames thas for sure

Congrats to Loma but <sub>kini big deal

[quote author=dem_people link=topic=707623.msg8664695#msg8664695 date=1309978482]So far, its like I'm the only one here who hasn't lived in more than two states for a year or more. Quite sort of embarrassing! I really need to tour 9ja.[/quote]Its good to experience the different cultures in Nigeria we are so diverse!!!

I have been to at least 25 states in Nigeria, and everyone is so different.

We are like a "Masala" or "Potpourri" of cultures

Ezigbo efife, Kedu?

Bros now, how far?

We, therefore, ask: Who is to man these key engineering-based ministries? Over the years, we have advocated that square pegs be put in square holes in ministries of power, works, water resources, communication, industries, steel, petroleum, etc. Many of these ministries have not had an engineer as a minister since the inception of the Fourth Republic in 1999,” the NSE said in the statement signed by its president, Mr. Olumuyiwa Ajibola.

I agree with this,. How ministers are assigned to ministries is quite perplexing. Most of them do not have the prerequisite knowledge/qualifications or vast experience in an essential field to qualify them as ministers. Why is Barth Nnaji in power? Even Ministry of science and technology would have been a better position.

[quote author=Omo_Tier1 link=topic=704825.msg8642563#msg8642563 date=1309723616]Have you ventured into Advanced AIE?[/quote]Ok, you guys should stop with the engineering jargon. We get the point, you all are well read individuals. Kini big deal?

So no I dont know what Advanced AIE is but I am sure you dont need that to run any ministry efficiently in Nigeria.

ZnO:
So when are you considered an engineer in NIGERIA? When:

1. You have only a BSc
2. You have an MS
3. You have a PhD?

Nnaji has
Bsc in physics
MSc in industrial engineering and operations research
PhD in industrial engineering and operations research
http://www.chronicle.pitt.edu/media/pcc030224/bart_nnaji.html

Does any of these degrees (or at least 2 of them) make him an engineer or not, by Nigerian standard?

Nothing beats hydroponics engineering sha. That one na original engineering degree

Nobody goes to the World Bank to get paid.

Speaking of that, why cant she even take a pay cut? I personally would be thrilled to have the opportunity to serve Nigeria in any capacity with significant paycut ( na lie but lets say hypothetically ). Definitely not a selfless woman. Why do you have to pay someone in dollars- is she an expatriate??

As much as I respect her seems like the woman has oju kokoro sha. She is greedy sha  

And look at her pension fund?? Which kain pension be that

Whaddya want to do with all that money when you are old?? Not like she can go clubbing or pop a bottle of moet

[quote author=ekt_bear link=topic=702094.msg8619199#msg8619199 date=1309394508]lmao @ ZnO comparing Goldman Sachs salary to World Bank salary[/quote]The guy is orignial Odikwa risky.

@ZnO
Please do a google search. the base salary for a managing director at GS is over 200K. This is just pocket money when you add the bonus to it, the guy is in the 400-500K range.

I know, wish you had done finance? Well at least you get to hang out with lots of plants!!

Funmi Iyanda definitely has a thick Yorugbotic accent to be honest and would be very difficult to understand to non-Nigerians. Its nothing to be ashamed off (I have one too ) but she would be out of place on the CNN. How can you have a presenter that no one understands

A no no for the CNN

dayokanu:
Mine would work. Not for their fees but for their indulgence.

Read about succesful people in the World not Nigeria where ppl get to steal money.

Most succesful ppl appreciated the value of earning $1 from their childhood, Unlike the spoilt Nigerian child/teenager who belives Spending $10,000 on summer shopping is the ideal thing.

Ileke-Idi does not have any indulgences. She does not wear short skirt and go out every weekend and get trashed. She is a proper Yoruba girl. She studies from Monday to Friday. Watches Yoruba movies and trashy American TV shows and listens to Drake and Lil'Jon during the weekends. Curses at the drunk college girls during tailgate and when they are going clubbing calling them Oomo oniranu oloshi, and then resumes to go to church at 9 AM sharp on sunday at Redeem Christian Chruch in Florida eyeing the very vibrant men jumping up and down under the influence of the spirit with the hope of finding a husband to marry- hopefully a lawyer, doctor or banker to make her mum happy.

ThiefOfHearts:
Ivanka while pretty is an im-becile.

Which makes her even hotter!!!

For starters, compare compare Chelsea Clinton to her counterparts in Nigeria. Look at the kids of Bill Gates, Richard Branson, Trump and compare them to what we have in Nigeria.

Yes ooh. How many rich Nigerian Girls are as Hot as this _{except ToH}:

Nice name, Hedge Fund, do you manage one?

There are two ways that you can get into prep schools such Exeter, Andover, Choate (all in the U.S). One is to be a legacy (your parents or someone in your family went to the school) or you have a superb intellect. These schools, I will use Phillips Exeter as an example, provides education that is much better than most universities in Africa, so how can you compete? Exeter is one of the most rigourous places that one can send their kids. You cannot slck. Students have daily homework for 6+ hours everyday, about 1 hour of sports. By the time these kids graduate, they have a well developed intellect and a strong body to meet the challenges of life.

I agree on this. The kids I know from Exeter/Andover/Choate/ St Pauls fall into two categories re/tar/ds and geniuses. However, the Nigerians who go to these schools (most whose fathers are politicians) tend to fall in the slowpoke category way more than the oyinbo people. Thats because they did not work for it 

just sayin.

But its good to be rich, I swear money sweet if you did not work for it and your parents just give it to you


PS: I think the discussion is about rich people spoiling their kids. And since I hate rich Nigerians too, no shaking

ChinenyeN:
Is it that my posts are too simple? Because one thing I know is that they are not at all complex. If anything, it seems that people are fond of assuming that there is more than what I write in black and white, as you clearly showed in misinterpreting a very simple statement regarding my stance on the use of Inbreeding as an argument. The thing with Vicenzo has nothing to do with misinterpretation, but everything to do with me not specifying the foundation of my initial post. I did not specify the angle I was coming from, so he took it to mean that I was replying his post directly. It was a mistake on my part, which I take full responsibility for.

Can you honestly sit here and tell my that my posts are complex? (a serious question, meant for you to answer)

I do agree that your posts are badly written, and you are having some problems conveying your point. No personal attack but just the truth. Hmmlet me see if this is what you are trying to say:

1. That the inbreeding/incest and pedophilia argument is not based on a literary comparison between Homosexuality but a more specific one with respect to particular argument; the fact that pro-gay people argue that homos have the right to do what they want based on the fact that it is between consenting adults. However homphobes argue that not all acts between consenting adults are allowed by law and therefore this argument is null (Polygamy, incest, Pedophilia). I do have problems with this but would not care to elaborate because its really not worth it.
2. You however think its silly to lay the bulk of ones argument on these two cases (incest/pedophilia and polygamy) when there are other reasons why homosexuality is a problem

I agree with you though about point 2., if thats you stance, that is why I spent all weekend playing tetris. It was more intellectually stimulating. You should pick it up too. Fun Game.

Why are you mad?

I once slapped some dude in California for spilling drinks on me on a bus and then went ahead to laugh instead of apologizing. Guess what? It was tagged hate crime cause the dude was gayy. And now I'm the one still begging the dude to drop the case. These are the kind of things we need to fight against not restrict other people's freedom because of our religious beliefs.

LWKMD. I just died from laughter

SEFAGO is an oyibo arse kisser. Everyone in this sections know it.

How he brags about only dating Oyibo women and how all his friends are oyibo.

Eyi oda!

Omo Igbo Igbo yi ti ya were tan.

Yes I do brag, but not about who I date or who my friends are.

You have a very poor memory to claim I do any of those. I dont blame you though, its hard keeping track of all the people on NL. Sometimes I mix you up with Andre Ewure or some of the Ibo chaps around. SO no biggie.

And Afrocentricism is a mild delusion. While I do believe that Africans should face hard truths so that we can advance in the future (Most important;y, understand that the global system as it is  off-puttingly western, and that to beat western countries and be successful in the west we have to understand the west), I dont go around denigrating Nigeria, The Nigerian system, the Nigerian Government or NIgerian People at every opportunity. I applaud every single baby step we take, because baby steps later lead to giant steps. I differ from Madam Kobojunkie in this regard, I bleed green white and green. Kobojunkie, on the other hand, would be singing the Star-Spangled Banner all the way to her grave  .

You should understand my school of thought is unique, due to my pure genius and exceptional academic prowess, and might seem difficult to comprehend to those of lower intellectual ability.
