It's very simple, the value of trade between US-South Korea is over 160 billion dollars while that of US-Nigeria is just 11billion dollars.
What is US gaining from Nigeria and why will they support madam Ngozi over a strong allies' candidate?
We should go to China now...
USA supporting madam Ngozi does not make economic sense...

The current head of the wto is Roberto Azevêdo. He wasn’t favoured by the US when he ran back in 2013. The US favoured the Mexican candidate. So did the EU. But Roberto Azevêdo came up consensus candidate regardless. No veto or arm twisting

The issue with trump is that, first, is he is racist without a doubt. Next, he has little to no regard for Africa. With this logic, neither Kofi Annan nor Boutrois Ghali would have emerged UN Sec gen.

NOI is the most qualified candidates and short of a veto by racist trump (if that’s even possible), will emerge victorious

The way lots of you keep assuming that this has anything to do with Donald Trump, is quite funny.

Do you really think that even if it were under an Obama (a black man with African ancestry) presidency, the US would back her?

Unbelievable...
I don't believe it has to do with Trump, rather I believe the problem is that Nigeria is not a reliable ally. This was manifested when they voted in UN.

Everything is not about racism, Obama was a president in USA, the white and blacks voted him into power. Somethings are about revenge because we have a dullard as a president.

Shut up.

Have you ever been to America?

Not only you.Every sane person not just in America but around the world is praying he loses.

The numbers and the electoral college is favouring Biden I just hope it expands on election day.I believe that Biden will win.
You believe Biden will win the way we believed Atiku will win. For me, any of them that will favor Africa should win. Remember, the devil we know is better than the angel we don't know.

Simple, and thank you...

My plan was simply to drop my comment and abandon this thread as the ignorance is too much to start correcting one by one.

In what universe will the United States ever pick a Nigerian over a South-Korean, a SOUTH-KOREAN... seriously? cheesy

Apart from Japan, South-Korea is another strong ally of the US in Asia and the fact that they are more allied with the United States than their cousins in neighbouring China, makes them the strategic choice when you consider the trade war between China and the US.

It has nothing to do with Donald Trump – just a matter of strategic alliance and reliability in the long run.
An Obama-led government would take this same position, even Biden-led one would do the same.

Story. Your intellect is called to question with the narrow narrative you project on this forum. Wont waste a minute comparing intellect with you, Carry go into the slum you crawled out off

Yes. This is about Trump. Regardless of the nationality of the candidate, Trump struggles to work with black people, unless where it serves a narrow political purpose. He is racist, like it or not

Your post gives you away. Always. Trump apologist spewing trash upandan. As for Buhari, leadership doesn’t get any worse. Never was and never will be my cup of tea

I LOL when people like you grandstand on faceless forums. You are deeply ignorant. Forums like these are levellers, and I have no problem with that. But I assure you of this. Whatever it is you do, the organisation I lead here in the U* will employ you and your entire lineage many times over. Picture that Mr ‘higher IQ than all Nigerians’ , and STFU!

Okonjo Iweala is someone who doesn't have a mind of her own. They will use her as a pawn to do a lot of bad things to Africa. This is just one of a few decisions that Trump has taken that I support wholeheartedly. The US should veto her appointment until the other Bloc brings forward a more acceptable, and competent candidate. NOI is trying to sell vaccines, nothing more. Hopefully, the disagreement won't last up till next year when Joe Biden takes office as the 46th POTUS.

Such an irony, negroes sitting 10k Km away in Nigeria spewing misguided support for trump. While 90% of black Americans in Trumps extreme America, have turned to Biden. When Biden wins, it won’t be because they love Biden. It will be simply a vote against trump. America have seen enough and suffered enough!

If by a spot of miracle Trump gets a second term, the divisiveness, the dumbing down of America we’ve seen to date will be nothing compared to the next four years! Sensible Americans know this, that is why he will lose!

We forget history easily, I believe USA is doing what they believe is right and they are out for revenge. When they voted in UN to move Israel capital to Jerusalem, Nigeria voted against it. Since then, USA has vowed to deal with Nigeria. They started with the immigration ban, now they are fighting Dr Okonjo. If Okonjo was to be a citizen of Ghana or Tanzania who either are allies or neutral to the USA, they would have backed her. Trump and his cohorts are out and prepared to be dishing out the revenge in cold plate.
Dr Okonjo may succeed and become elected, but USA are still looking for more ways to deal with Nigeria.

It is high-time entire Nigerian citizens rose with the common goal of supporting this woman for her to win the DG WTO...
Let's put sentiment and tribalism aside...the woman is more of Nigeria than the US...this is p hatred.
most of the reason the US government highlighted for not supporting NOI is not tenable.

The US can't be fighting against the effort of our citizens to reach the top echelon of their careers and the present Nigerian government keep folding up her hands and be waiting for the verdicts of shame and failure....never!

Our foreign envoy to the UN and the US must rise to the occasion of ensuring this diplomatic bickering against us as a nation is being fought to a standstill.

At this juncture, I want to suggest that we should we desist from acquiring any goods or services that have to do with the US for now in protest of this ostentatious hatred meted on one of our citizens that is aspiring for higher careers

NGpatriot:



The US is actually holding her responsible for her actions in Nigeria, I won't hire that woman to do anything, not even a bank cashier.

The US saw everything she did in Nigeria as a public official, they saw how she facilitated and supervised corruption, how she staged looting and stealing schemes and especially her incompetence.

They saw how she stole $2.3 Billion, how she dodged responsibility and accountability for that money even though she saw what happened to that money, she saw how Dasuki ATM turned that money int to ATM pocket money for GEJ and the likes of FFK, Metuh, Fayose and others.

She was so incompetent that money was disappearing all over the federal bureaucracy right under her nose, all the money generating agencies did not remit 1 kobo into the national accounts and she said nothing, she did nothing.

Under her watch, Nigeria accumulated the largest revenue from oil in the history of Nigeria, but by the time she left office, she was borrowing hundreds of billions to pay workers salary and even declared austerity measures when oil was selling for $77 billion.

Her record here in Nigeria was incompetence, abdication of responsibility and lack of care.








Is it only US that have eyes to see this things u've mentioned? All the countries that supported her, can also see that she's good enough for the job. The United States has far more criminals than Nigeria,is Trump himself a saint? If they are not thieves, why do they take money from corrupt politicians? The woman is good enough for the job,why take her down because she's from Nigeria. We should sometimes try to see the good in ourselves,not always the bad people say about us.
