what is wrong is going on fareed zakaria and showing to the world how arrogant you are and saying you are nigerian, maybe if she said she was ibo instead, she did not show any respect to any other candidate and was speaking as if she deserve it dubem3: |

All the best to her. If she loses, maybe Nigerians would learn to elect leaders based on merit rather than some half decent leader especially when nominated by godfathers like they do in Nigeria in this case Obama. |

Kim is not qualified, he knws it. Thats why he never granted any interviews. Okonjo-Iweala is the best for the job. Kim is Medical Doctor by profession, while Okonjo-Iweala is, you can say, a banker, an economist and also a former World Bank M.D., and V.P. Who is more qualified? |

Can we pls leave sentiment apart and be objective, How do think American we have the single largest share and decide to leave the control or highest level of authorities of such in the hand of another country citizen, Think of it supposing its you that set up such organisation wont you look for a person that you have authority over as to be able to control him when necessary and even punish if need arise, How could you have good grid on your fund in the hand of expert you can not absolutely control, Imagine in the hand of Nigeria expert for that matter, its not that madam Njozi Okonjo is not qualify and competent to handle the post, but rather is a matter of America personal security for the fund |

wolfowitz was a political scientist, the current president has a political background not an economic one, world bank does not do technocrats at the top, iweala has to get it in her skull, it is not the qualification, world bank even had a engineer as president abubaka101: Kim is not qualified, he knws it.

Hmm, Clearly Kim seems to be the more favoured one here. |

being a former vice president does not make you qualified, iweala was never known as a diplomat for all the qualifications she has she does not interact the african vote is just pointless more powerful bric nations are behind the american, anyway she wont get it, she is a qualified economist/banker but not a qualified diplomat, her track record in nigeria is also poor, we'd get a better finance minister if she leaves anyway dubem3: |
Re: World Bank Presidency: Who Takes The Day Okonjo Or Kim? by nkemKalu: 2:23pm On Apr 16, 2012 |
Okonje Wahala...or whatever u call her will never win. Thank God it is not JEGA or Iwu that will conduct the election. If she is so good and feels that the World bank job should be on Merit why did OBJ fire her from his cabinet. She has even exhibited the same level of incompetence in GEJ's cabinet during the oil subsidy saga. People should stop being so emotional or sentimental about issues. Leave them to go and vote.....if she wins so be it and if she looses nobody should ever think or say it is because of politics and not of merit. Full stop |

^^^For him, the satisfaction of an Igbo not winning. It's unfortunate how base our fellow Nigerians have sunk. |
Re: World Bank Presidency: Who Takes The Day Okonjo Or Kim? by namfav(m): 2:28pm On Apr 16, 2012 |
that is the issue, if iweala wins nigeria problems will not be solved, i am not a fan of the world bank anyway, so whatever, i just saying as it is, iweala has no chance dubem3: |

i have enough peace and rest of mind, people have to stop supporting someone just because they share ehtnicity, ones she wins she wont prioritise ibos or indeed nigeria, it is the world bank, no doubt noi is qualified but she wont get the job because america chooses can didate Nnenna1: |

People should stop launching attacks against others because of tribe. So you know she is more qualified, eh? |
Re: World Bank Presidency: Who Takes The Day Okonjo Or Kim? by namfav(m): 2:37pm On Apr 16, 2012 |
no one is talking about her because she is ibo, stop being paranoid, people are saying she has no chance, which is true, her qualifications are not important now because the colombian was even more qualified than her, is she intelligent? is she qualified? yes but since when is the world bank post about qualifications only? big questions Nnenna1: |
Re: World Bank Presidency: Who Takes The Day Okonjo Or Kim? by Nnenna1(f): 2:37pm On Apr 16, 2012 |
LMAO from all indications it seems that many consider Igbos the arch-enemies of Hausa-Fulanis or something? Nigeria....e go better sha. |

namfav: wolfowitz was a political scientist, the current president has a political background not an economic one, world bank does not do technocrats at the top, iweala has to get it in her skull, it is not the qualification, world bank even had a engineer as presidentA Political scientist, aka sociologist or anthropologist. They all deal with human behaviour in relation to their environment. Is that part of the definition of Economics? Politics is an area that uses business ideology/philosophy. Medicine does'nt. Kim does'nt have the experience or technical know-how to control the World Bank. He'll just be there, surrounded by his U.S-employed aides, and they'll be the ones making the policies favouring the Americans and their European allies. He may just be a figure-head! |
Re: World Bank Presidency: Who Takes The Day Okonjo Or Kim? by namfav(m): 2:40pm On Apr 16, 2012 |
you know as well as i do, if she wins some people (you know them) will come here and profess their superiority, the same people saying that anyone not supporting her for being who she is is a tribalist dubem3: |

What's in there for Nigeria, if she wins? Absolutely nothing!! How has Obama being black transformed the lives of AAs I want her to win - so she can take her voodoo economics over there - but if she wins, she would be a better stooge to enslave Africa. It's a lose lose situation! I just hope she goes away forever - the woman is clueless and inarticulate, with all her so-called paper qualifications, and experience. It's not a tribe nor nationality thing - it's about who has Nigeria and Nigerians' (the poor masses) interest at heart - and she has proved she's also part of the problem. 1 Like |

Why must everything be about tribe with you guys? **pukes on the thread and walks away** |
Re: World Bank Presidency: Who Takes The Day Okonjo Or Kim? by Nnenna1(f): 2:54pm On Apr 16, 2012 |
shymmex: Why must everything be about tribe with you guys? I am actually indifferent to Iweala winning this position - however your posting history as well as Namfav's shows that your conclusions are not as objective as you all proclaim. 80-90% of Namfav's posts for instance, are dedicated to attacking Igbos at every turn. Will it be unreasonable to conclude that he is applying tribal bias here? Look -he implicitly admitted it here in this post: you know as well as i do, if she wins |
Re: World Bank Presidency: Who Takes The Day Okonjo Or Kim? by Olaolufred(m): 2:58pm On Apr 16, 2012 |
Experience gives it to Iweala. Politics and credibility gives it to Kim Yong Jim. Which one do we sacrifice for the other? A Chartered accountant who is a rogue, or a non-chartered who is reliable? They are both qualified when viewed from a broader perspective. The vote determines the winner. |

Nnenna1: How do you mean "your posting history?" Are you for real? When have I EVER attacked a qualified, and decent individual from a tribe, different form mine - who is vying for a job I may be guilty of throwing a couple of tribal tantrums in the past - but I had every right to do that back then, in context of what I was confronted with - when I first registered on this forum. I'm human, and I'm a arrogantly Yoruba - and you don't expect me to sit back - and allow people from a tribe, which is NOT superior to my tribe - in any way shape, or form - stereotype people from my tribe, based on innuendoes, and half-truths. Any ways, I have outgrown that now - and I know it's a norm on this forum. As for NamFav, he has every right to critique Nigerian official because he's a tax payer - and as for using his antecedents to judge his comment - that's unfair. You're not a mind-reader neither am I - and only Namfav knows why he posted the comment, I believe Namfav has explained his comment. You seem to be the one supporting the woman blindly, based on tribal sentiments. Is Ngozi Iweala qualified for the post? YES.. But as a Nigerian, if you're being fair - you would know, this woman doesn't like the Nigerian masses - and her elitist programmes have proved that. I don't care about a Nigerian being the world bank president - what I care about is what's in it for Nigeria and Nigerians - and if her antecedents are anything to go by - we are DOOMED. I won't be surprised if she makes the present WEAK president implement another enslaving SAP programme - which will further impoverish the next four generations of Nigerians. |
