optimistic patriotism is hopeless in this country, but some people just wont listen, buhari media will soon expire with the stipend payable to her online agents here, but in the midst of compounded failure of the Nigerian state who citizenship help? it's a sign that Nigeria need to abolish that law stopping diasporeans with dual citizenship from some critical interest because we have nothing to protect anymore,it's over

This should disqualify from being the African candidate at the WTO.

What does she wants to do with it at her age?

Leadership is everything when it comes to public service. It is the same thing that is playing out with this government currently.

All the developed nations enjoyed quality and forthright leadership progressively before arriving at the status of “developed nation”.

Just look at the kind of issues and actions that are the priority of this government, and you can reasonably predict where the country is headed eventually.


Opexzy:
Very good, everything is leading to her victory....
How Jonathan's administration ended being a complete fiasco with the likes of this woman and someone like Akinwunmi Adesina, still baffles me.

This is rare coming from a Nigerian.
You are one of the few that understand the value of patriotism.

Shame on Ngozi for picking up a useless citizenship.
I would have understood her a bit if she was a young girl still pursuing her dreams.

Actually she flees because she has the foresight. Foresight to know that if she stays to fight she will die for nothing. When she came how did your people support her? The same people you fight for will either mock you, betray you or refuse to join you. That is Sowore. He has been fighting. When he was arreeted , how many people came out to protest his detention? Tou want her to come and suffer unecessarily abi. Weldone

"...Nigeria’s former finance minister worked in the US for well over 25 years without taking up its citizenship...."

She stood for what she believed in for about 30 years, kudos to her, many would have gladly done otherwise.

If having a dual citizenship would get her the job, let her go ahead, it's all fair in love and war.

We wish her all the best.
Re: Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala Takes Up American Citizenship by frog12: 8:46am On Sep 03, 2020
she can not become PRESIDENT of nigera by this.

AnonymousRebec:

Please just keep quiet. She didn't give up her Nigerian citizenship to become American. So she is still Nigerian. But obviously, if she still wants to run for those post in the future, she needs to have an American citizenship.
Re: Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala Takes Up American Citizenship by frog12: 8:47am On Sep 03, 2020
she THINK trump will support HER.

WHAT will TRUMP get in exchange? this na PLAN B by okonjo.


optimusprime2:
Mma, you wasted time... You should have done this siiiiiince... if you did this, that world bank position of 2012 would have been yours.

Anyway well done ma.

Fact: for those who don't know, if she wanted to, she could have become an American citizen as far back as the 80's/90's. Her choosing to become a citizen of the US now is purely strategic... Her stronger alliance's and connection base are in the US and she can only maximize certain advantages fully if she was an American citizen.
Just imagine the American government also putting weight on mama's bid for the wto position.

Re: Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala Takes Up American Citizenship by frog12: 8:50am On Sep 03, 2020
I agree. the woman LIKE power like EBA.

BORROWING heavily to pay workers. she could have RETRENCHED some workers or even give them SEVERENCE .


Lipscomb:
My position on this woman has always been tough. She is a rogue and born to rule mentality. She admired power than anything.

Her incompetence in some positions she held was another evidence that she is overweight individual. Okonjo iwella has been use by western world to exploit Africa. This woman send Nigeria to recession and till today we are yet to recover from recession.

I have never seen a situation whereby federal government borrow money to pay workers. During her tenure no improvement and she wasn't done anything spectacular.

How did sh flee?

Many current and past Nigeria Senators, Reps, ministers, etc are US or British citizens as well as Nigeria’s.

It does not stop her from contributing to Nigeria at any level except the President & Vice, this just open up her chances.

OyinO:



Look at this mentality. Is it the territorial space or geographical entity called Nigeria that is bad or the people of Nigeria that are bad? Places you want to flee to, were far worst than Nizooria in time past until their youths demanded change by violent Revolution. Being born in any part of the world is not the problem, but letting yourself mentally subdued to accept defeat.

Please can you name any country that was worst than Nigeria in time past? You will just sit and open ur mouth to saying any thing. How many countries have you been to? Even among some African countries, you cant compare how they live to what is obtainable in Nigeria.

Have you ever asked yourself why the condition of things ( economy, education, security, etc) are deteriorating down from each government? I know are leaders are bad but they are not the worst when compared to other world leaders and they are not cluelesss. Still they won't succeed because this country was designed to fail from the very beginning.

confydoedowaye:
It is dual citizenship not switch of citizenship, remember she is in the global political corridor and she needs to maximize her strength to stand a chance, besides, she is over qualify to take up US citizenship by naturalization, she is indeed a pillar and proud African judging by her dress code and her intonation. #NOItotheworld.

Oga, this is not patrotism, its folly.

The politicians themselves that run this country position their children to have a good life by sending them abroad, you are here talking what only you understand.

You better consider the future of your children and don;t let them wonder what their father was doing when other people fathers were sending them abroad for a better life.
