The former Nigeria Ambassador to Spain and Permanent Representative UNWTO in a Facebook post, went down memory lane and shared a heartwarming experience with Prof Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, Nigeria’s Former Minister of Finance and the top contender for the post of DG, World Trade Organisation. According to the Former beauty queen and wife of the late Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, ‘it will surely end in praise’.

PROF NGOZI OKONJO IWEALA : A PERSONAL TESTIMONY.

It’s generally said that women are their own worst enemies but I found the reverse to be true in the case of two extraordinary women who amongst other things, were instrumental to my stellar accomplishments during my tenure as Nigeria’s Ambassador to the Kingdom Of Spain.
Prof Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, who I barely knew, was Minister of Finance who I approached for help in order to present our case regarding the derelict and pitiful state of our Embassy building as well as the Ambassador’s Residence. This was because the then Minister of Foreign Affairs had frankly informed us that there was nothing much he could do to help our situation and suggested we bring the matter to her attention.
Prof Ngozi Okonjo Iweala swiftly granted us an appointment, warmly welcoming us into her office which was a beehive of activity. She patiently listened to us, and personally took up our matter to the highest authority. It is to her credit that the reconstruction and massive renovations of both our chancery building and Residence were facilitated, making the Nigeria Embassy building in Spain, the most magnificent edifice on the prestigious Calle Segre and a subject of pride and joy to our citizens. In appreciation of her immense support, she was the Honoree at our spectacular Centennary Ceremony in Madrid.

The Spanish capital Madrid came to a standstill when the ‘New Look’ Embassy Building as well as the Magnificent Residential Building were unveiled in two separate ceremonies by none other than another acclaimed destiny helper, First Lady Dame Patience Jonathan, a woman whose passion for the upliftment and empowerment of women, especially in governance, is legendary.

In our own environment where many women in powerful positions...most especially those who find themselves in such positions by proxy...constitute themselves ‘Osochiegbu’ (and even unashamed to claim that title), consumed with envy, bitterness, resentment and flaming jealousy towards dynamic women and employ all within their power to become obstacles in their path of progress, these two women stand out as a sterling example of what can be achieved when women sincerely commit to being their sisters keepers.

I join millions of women worldwide in celebrating the emergence of Prof Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, a woman with a heart of gold, not only as the first African, but most significantly, the first woman DG of the World Trade Organisation.

Wonderful Sister, it will surely end in praise. CONGRATULATIONS !!!! you have made History. Your Integrity and good works will ever speak for you.

Amb. Bianca Odumegwu Ojukwu.

Whether Trump likes it or not, it must surely end in praise.

I also envy d wto-dg

On a lighter note, I miss mama P. Is hard to believe that there was once humor in aso Villa. Things have really changed in Za othzer room!

I agree with her 100%.

Women are their own worst enemies, always gossiping about themselves and running each other down.

Hardly can you see fellow women supporting others, even to encourage them is problem

They will bitch and bite, especially if the woman in question is beautiful, too smart or rich.

Am happy for NOI, sha. I hope she gets this appointment. At least all this misogynistic leeches can never say dis one na as a result of bottom power as they always like to claim whenever a woman gets a top post.
