WTO often cave in to China who still claims to be a developing country and was getting too much favours. US won a 7B$ case recently against WTO biasness. US is probably trying to get some assurance of fairness before supporting NOI. Let wait a little more before drawing conclusions. Nobody wants US to pull out of WTO as they did with WHO because will spell their doom. World politics is all about interest but let it be fair. Wish NOI goodluck.

This is really just crazy to be honest. Must every conversation begin or end with these Igbo guys? What's the connection between what was said and your bashing of the Igbo tribe.
This obsession is laughable. We all have our origin, that simply makes us people of the world. People displaying hatred should be pitied.

You are one of the bloody hypocrites here. That is a lession to those fake jews that are diehard trump supporters. I always tell the ignoramuses that Trump doesnt give a damn to anybody in africa. The man is a bloody racist but our lousy tenants will not agree

skukimania:



Your crush? How old are you biko? Too many ancestors in Nigeria!

Whatever !
I just love the girl

Igbo always learn the hard way so this is just another one
They are good in business but have zero knowledge about politics and the world around them and this is why Nigeria keep kicking them around like a football

Just because she is black and from shithole nation .

donphilopus:
I thought she just acquired a US citizenship last month?Why are they now trying to frustrate her? It's obvious Trump's administration doesn't like anything relating to Nigeria. Same Trump and his goons attempted to remove Akinwunmi Adeshina of AfDB on trumped-up corruption charges yet some Nigerians think Trump is the best thing since sliced bread. Our mumu go soon do.

We like trump Bt he can be annoying smtmes.

You are damn right. They have ran away from the thread very confused silly fools.

Juliusmalema:
Good but Mr fergie001 your topic is misleading

US didn't veto anything but sticks on their preferred candidate.

after all China, EU and Japan sticks with Iweala and China alone contributes to 12.4% trade statistics while US China has 12% of trade.....


US will have to swallow their pride this time around. They are just kicking unnecessarily.

China, EU even Japan are a whole lot of strong backing plus over 90 countries joined together.

Veto here doesn't mean they insisted she shouldn't be the DG. It means they vetoed their decision not to have a consensus. Some countries have this veto power. This includes the US and some other countries. This isn't good for NOI cause it means they might have a grand plan to twist the arms of other voters.

It’s a shame we don’t have a real and mentally sharp leader that can pick up the phone and call trump and say “what the fvck mennn!!!!!”

US again

There's a possibility of using its veto again the popular choice!

Anyone who has studied trump will know that he has a thing against tough women.

Trump is not likely to win this election.Even the electoral college will not favour him this time around so get your facts right

One4me:



As unfortunate as it is, as as disaster as it will become, Trump will be re-elected, not because he will win the majprity of the Vote (he never wont that the first time anyways), but because he will be manipulated to win the Electoral Collgege.
All the actions Trump has been taking, is to ensure his victory at the Electoral college.
Narrow margins, here and there is all he needs and he knows it.
Many People will be angry when he is declared the winner and we can only pray for America, because the injustice and corruption will be so obvious. Trump is so corrossive person, he is like 'Sniper', it will kill some Cockroaches but will also kill many humans, in the wrong hands.

And the WTO is not just about Veto, the big Powers will never agree to one candidate.
It will boils down to Voting and the US has set machinery in motion, with that statement, that everybody who benefits from it, should fall-in-line or get whipped back into line.
Just dey watch.

The Blackman is not only screwed, we screw ourselves most of the time.
NOI would make a wonderful WTO Leader, inmy own opinion.

You are right. But personally, I prefer the backing of the US to all the others you've mentioned combined.

That is why he is losing badly among women voters in this election

Obama prevented NOI from winning the world Bank position.

Is he also a racist too?

AmazonianQueen:

Lol . Trump's golden rule: As a woman, don't question or scrutinize him, you'd get a big shade either right there or on his Twitter

The candidate America is supporting is also a woman.

gaetano:
You can imagine what this British idiot is predicting. He's even again NOI

He is not saying anything different from what Ipob are saying on social media since Buhari assumption of duty. They do everything possible to give Nigeria bad name in order to discredit Buhari.

Koulture:


USA under Trump is something else,yet Igbos or igbos see him as their messiah,the same way they tried to stop akinwunmi adeshina of Afdb.

They might be wondering how a lady from a corrupt shithole like Nigeria will be in charge of a sensitive position like the WTO.

Everything igbo, ipob

Every leader has its demerit and merit.
So you don't expect all Trump policies to favour you. America visa lottery they ban Nigeria, and stopped regular visa for Nigeria etc. These are not related to Ipob.

See things the way it is.
Don't be like some Muslims that hate Trump for fighting terrorism coming to America
But forgot that America has welcomed more Muslims than even their fellow Muslims countries.

That way it is

At least Trump is not talking about gay up and down in Nigeria like Obama, American.

I think the USA have come to reality that they don't own or control Nigeria that much,there is french, British and Mandarin interests in Nigeria but solely USA interest in south Korea.

Seriously

Americans,infact the West are the most criminal and corrupt beings ever to walk the Earth if you don't know.
May be you are still suffering from inferioritis complexitis.
It's a dangerous disease, symptoms are
1.self hate
2.lack of belief in self
3.asslicking people who you are better than.
The negro is the original man that the creator made, whites mutated from black.
In color technology,when every other color is subtracted,what will remain is black.while when every color is added,white is the result.
It means black is primary.
Black is the beginning and end .even the God of the Bible is black"and his legs were like BURNISHED BRASS when they are burned in the fire"
Brass is the color of negros.
Wake up.

laiza:
I really wish Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala was contesting under a different citizenship. Nigeria don't deserve her at all, just like the country doesn't deserve many people.

The countries that have endorsed Okonjo mostly do so out of spite to the US and not because they thought she is the best person for the job. If Trump isn't the president of America I can bet you the South Korean candidate would be cruising to victory as we speak. Most of these counties don't give a shit about Nigeria and they certainly don't care about who is most qualified for the job, they only care what the DG would do for them and what allies they would get in the long run.

There are some couple of things the United States would never want and I am certain they share the thoughts of some countries as well. Top on the list is Iran being a member of the WTO or China getting tax waivers. As things stands the countries that have endorsed Okonjo did so because they all have something in common which isn't the love of country or their love for her but simply their hatred for Trump which is understandable and completely justified but she still doesn't stand a chance against South Korea.

The United States does not trust Nigeria, heck they don't even trust Africans because they see Africa as a colony of China now and we would do Chinese bidding. Secondly is the issue of corruption and the growing rate of Islam in African countries. This doesn't go well with American ideology at all.

In all honesty I wish for a better Nigeria and perhaps maybe we could be considered for the job on merit instead of politics and on one hand I want her to win but on the other hand I don't want a Nigerian to be the DG, not with this set of leaders that we have. Of what benefit is the position to Nigerian economy and how does that translates to the lives of Nigerian youth? I don't see the correlation. Take a look at AfDB and see how that is playing out. Kenya is doing better, in fact the whole of East Africa is better than West Africa in terms of direct impact of AfDB to their region. It's not that it doesn't get to West Africa but all the countries in West Africa believe Nigeria is limiting their chances of success at anything and it's due to the corruption and the people. They simply just hate us for the sins of our leaders.

I really wish she gets the job if it will help the common man on the street and at least change our dear country.

This man is super smart!
