"You are a citizen of your country, your continent, and the world. Shaped by challenging experiences during your childhood in Nigeria, you have made social and economic reform your mission. As Nigeria’s coordinating minister of economic development and minister of finance, you have tackled corruption, created a vision and path to long-term economic stability, and worked to build a culture of transparency. At the World Bank, you made food security a priority and provided policy advice and capital for the world’s poorest countries. With wisdom, a fierce dedication to doing what is right, and unflagging energy, you have transformed the economic landscape of your nation. We are proud to name you Doctor of Humane Letters".

Reminds me of the biblical prophet.


You know what they say about his home town...

Incredible woman.

this just confirmed that america know nothing about Nigeria

And now, we are once again reminded of the personality we have in Okonjo Iweala. Always on the global praise list. Unfortunately, Nigerian politics has a way of rubbishing our best and promote the mediocres.

But of course she was honoured!
Plunging Nigeria into debt, running to the World Bank and the IMF for advice
She deserves the award.
What an irony
Little do people know that those who operate at the helm of power of the Yale University are the same cabal who own the World Bank and IMF.
Nigeria is being raped

slow down sir!! Watch ur back

Award for crippling nigeria economy and playing to their script. And after our billions u gave to their country, they still treat u as f$.uck and relegate ur soul to the dustbin. U can enjoy ur asylum there cos thats where u belong. U never had nigeria in ur hearth, none of ur family children, and husband family live in nigeria. Enjoy the betrayal

That's it. We just have to sit back and watch the incoming miracle-president teach us the better way

....And that he must do.
