Nigeria’s $30bn Debt Gave Me Grey Hair – Okonjo-Iweala by EzeUche2(m): 1:09pm On May 13, 2011 |
Nigeria’s $30bn debt gave me grey hair – Okonjo-Iweala London – Prof. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, World Bank Managing Director and Nigeria’s former Finance Minister, says getting the Paris club to cancel the country’s debt gave her grey hair. “This is something that cannot be reversed; getting $30billion of debt cancelled, leaving just $5bn at that time took much out of me and gave me grey hair,’’ Okonjo-Iweala told the Financial Times of London. “I am most proud of two things, first and foremost, my children; second, the debt relief for Nigeria,’’ Okonjo-Iweala said. She said it was not easy getting to the top of her career as a black woman, adding that she worked very hard to succeed in her chosen profession. “As a black woman, doors do not just open for you; You have to prove yourself every single day, but I love it. “I thrive in places that are merit-based; the World Bank has been a good place for that,’’ Okonjo-Iweala said. The World Bank Executive said she was currently working on how to mobilise more resources for the Food Security Fund as well as assist conflict-affected states.

buzugee: Its not as simple as that. Presently, she's the most politically marketable person in Alaigbo. I stand to be corrected. |

She should be our president. We need an Iron Lady and I am sure that she could fulfill that role. |

Love the zeal. This kind of people that should heading our administrative but due to some despicable factors, we end up losing the great things we have. I wouldn't be surprised to see an article from SR villifying this woman. |
