The Petition Collected By Iwalaiye To Withdraw Okonjo's Yale Award Is Anti Igbo by tochukwuifeduba: 7:01am On May 22, 2015
The ongoing petition being collected by Mr Sunday Iwalaiye is a direct attack against the Igbos target at demeaning our daughter whose recent award calls for celebration and confinement of chieftain tittle on her by the Eze Igbo . we insist that Dr Ngozi Okonjo Iweala have contributed immensely to the upliftment of the Nigeria economy hence we challenged the so called Mr Iwalaiye to provide the yard stick he used to access the allegation .This is a targeted character assassination against our daughter and we are not finding this issue funny. We call on Nigerians to disregard this attention seeker

Over 2,000 Nigerians Sign Petition Asking Varsity To Withdraw Okonji-iweala’s Honorary Doctorate Degree

"As at press time on Thursday, about 2,047 persons had signed a petition asking Yale University to withdraw the honorary doctorate degree awarded to Nigeria’s Coordinating Minister of the Economy and Finance Minister, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala.Okonjo-Iweala had been awarded a Doctorate of Humane Letters on Monday, May 18, 2015 during Yale’s Commencement ceremony in New Haven, Connecticut, alongside eight others.

The petition, which is being hosted on change.org, the world’s largest petition platform, was started by a Nigerian resident in the United States, one Sunday Iwalaiye.

When THISDAY visited the web page, it was discovered that 453 more petitions were needed to reach 2,500, which will probably prompt the organisation to consider the petition worthy of consideration.

When the petitioner kicked off the movement, the signatures had trickled in by the seconds but they have since leaped to over 2,000, with more probably on the way.

Tagged “Yale University gave its prestigious honorary doctorate degree to an undeserving Nigerian,” the petition reads in part: “There is no tangible evidence of any economic development in Nigeria under the leadership of Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala (sic) in all reality.

“Nigeria’s economy is still an oil-dependent economy that is debt and borrowing ridden as well as 100% consuming and importing in nature.”

The picture under Iwela own means what?
Also not in support of approaching every issues from the tribalism perspective.
Thanks in anticipation

Yale Universitty did a detailed investigation before bestowing such award to her so all these *umu ekwensu* and *ofeke* from a hate filled tribe should go and die.
