Okonjo-Wahala!

As with all things Nigerian,we have all proven to be as unreliable as a Skye bank ATM.
I remember vividly during a  a hot sunny period in February,at the height of the fuel subsidy brouhaha,when Mrs Okonjo-Iweala was the most hated figure in Nigeria.Some even went as far as circulating unprintable things about her on the internet.
But today,you would be excused to think she was the fore-runner of the second coming of Christ,a modern day John the Baptist or Joan the Baptist if you like.
I'm guessing little Miss Ngozi Okonjo back then in Ogwashi-Ukwu village,when she was walking the narrow path that led to the village stream;like millions of young Nigeriams of her generation,present generations and as will millions of young Nigerians for generations to come;did not have the slightest inkling that she would one day be vying for the position of World Bank President,the number one financial institution in the world.
Little Ngo.


Well..........................to be honest,little Ngo never walked down a village path,never had to go the stream and neither did she play half naked at the village square.Infact she probably had slaves and servants doing all that for her as a princess of Ogwaashi-Ukwu kingdom and all.
I'm guessing she never really looked like this!
Raised by well off and overly educated parents,Madam Co-ordinating Minister of the Economy's path to greatness had been set from the cradle.As it should rightly be!
Magna cum laude(with great honour) Harvard University,1977.Post graduate study Massachusetts(hope y'all can spell it now) Institute of Technology,1981,speaks volumes of not only an accomplished upbringing but a brilliant,analytical and scholarly mind.
She has indeed set a new landmark for young Nigerians and truly serves as an inspiration to millions who have over the last decade had only corrupt politicians,inept musicians and illiterate footballers to admire.
I loved Showkey Baba though.Still do.

She wont win though*straight face*.
So,we can as well get that out of the way.
I wont bore you with international conspiracy and how there's an unwritten agreement that the US candidate always gets the job.This blog is dedicated solely to all things non-educative.If you want knowledge,get your ass off twitter and go watch CNN.
Can these Nigerians just give it a rest!

 So,for the professional psychophants and praise singers out there already composing congratulatory messages in major newspapers nationwide,even if she does win,she no fit give una loan or job for World Bank oh.Dem no get branch for Bode Thomas!
But to even be considered for such a great office is indeed an honour,And a great one at that.
