ReplyDeleteThe prophesy shall come to pass in Jesus Name Amen.
ReplyDeleteShe deserved it having put all she had to help Nigeria move from her crawling position Economically
A J
Abuja
The whole world is reading this. This is nothing to joke about. Select your joke carefully next time.
ReplyDeleteWhat a joke!
ReplyDelete=))º°˚˚˚°ºнaĦaнaº°˚˚˚°º=)).
ReplyDeleteThis one too expensive Ooº°˚. I pray it comes to pass
How can nigeria eye put this as April fool?
ReplyDeleteAPRIL FOOL'S DAY is it Biblical? comment on this
Is April Fool scriptural? Would Jesus have participated in it if was in His earthly days?
comments are welcome
Why must u spiritualize everything. Is NigerianEye a church?.
DeleteIts only a joke, I fell for it because I was optimistic that it was true, but I still found it funny.abeg chill out joor
But whyyy. Its too xpoensive joh
ReplyDeleteGud one, I fell yakata!
ReplyDeletemay God 4give u
ReplyDeleteIts ok. Nigerians are dreaming of having their own citizen manage the world economy, its just because there is maximum degree of trust in her.
ReplyDeleteWe pray she maintain that TRUST.
If a human being farts now they want to know the spiritual implication! Haba! Why don't u ask if comedy is scriptural, at least that's one safe medium comedians explore to diffuse hard talk. Nigerian Eye played a prank on the whole world on a fools day....live with it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a good piece... Well written although I was skeptical when I didn't see it on other newspapers like sahararep!!!
ReplyDeleteNice compilation, abeg, leave Jesus out of this... Its our own Nigeria eye.
ReplyDeleteHow can she be the president of world bank when she has failed as the finance minister.what makes u think she's deserves it? Or what has she done to deserve it? I pray she never becomes the president of world bank. After inflicting pain on poor nigerians by removing fuel subsidy. Y'all are crazy for thinking God will ever let her have the position.Mtsew
ReplyDeleteNa wa o!
ReplyDeleteI used to think this media is supposed to be a responsible news reporting agency.
Maybe for instance, The Punch too or other responsible media should as well raise headlines as such and note for readers to check the date.
I sincerely cannot take you for ur news reporting animore, if u guys can cme up wit dis. Its an april fool too expensive.
Let's not behave like saddists and go with the joke. Life must not always be serious affairs only. Sometimes, we share jokes to diffuse tension. Ride on NigerianEye, we are right behind you. And Ngozi Iwuala, I want her to become the World Bank President. I am glad a Nigerian was even nominated! Let's learn to rejoice over another's success so success can also come our ways.
ReplyDeleteNice one may it come to pass. If the world see her as a failure finance minister in Nigeria by axing cabals, she will not be nominated. The world has no interest in Nigeria's false FUEL SUBSIDY. Direct your anger on those that sabotage fuel subsidy.
ReplyDeletePrevious poster, why act so serious? Don't you ever have any fun or play in ur life?. C'mon April Fools day is recognized Internationally, no crime in picking out one day out of the 365 days in a year to Suprise readers in a funny and witty way. we appreciate that NigerianEye recognized this.
ReplyDeleteWas a grt suprise to me wen I read the breaking news but I realise from the begining of the message that you are trying to fooluish me.in grt possible for nigerian to rule world bank cos the whole world know's how corrupt we are.
ReplyDeletebest April fool so far!..sme ladies are simply sadists.if we ave 100 of Ngozi's lyk in naija,we wont be suferin dis evil scourge of female prostitution...wel hueva said she failed in her duty shuld show us wot 'she' has eva achieved in life so far. let us learn 4rm her,ladies rise nd work!
ReplyDeleteI fell for it. lol. Nice one.

ReplyDeleteNice one. Happy Fools day.

ReplyDeleteWhat a scripts! Pls d writter should be rewarded by Nigerianeye, it's valid considering d day. Gud work!
ReplyDeletelmao....nice one o
ReplyDeletei wat yang!!! ooooooooooooo
ReplyDelete@all those condemning NigerianEye for this,you are all bunch of hypocrites,you all lack gr8 sense of humour! Years back,a radio station,guess Raypower fooled people with"Aids scare" & guys were really scared with the description of the babe who vowed to spread the virus...What is wrong in the write up,what is so serious & u ethical about the joke? You guys are strong mediocres& low lives! For me,waking up& reading that made me laugh & I pranked some highly placed person in Abuja& he fell,laughed& gave me kudos! That position is not a wish away but work,so if she deserves it,nothing can stop it.Pls you guys should get off your spiritual rocking chair to get a life! All these sententious or Pithee comment won't change the fact.Everything is Spiritual! This is why Fake pastors can deceive us& we fall yakata! Abegi!
ReplyDeleteA FOOL says in his heart, there is no God. If u ever consider ur lyf witout God is suces, den u nid d Saviour's rescue. Believe it or not, ALL thos celebratin Fool's day aint yet saved, they'r stil sayin in somway ..der is no God. No body is spiritualizin anytin here or makin it a church mata. D fact is evry xistnc came 4m d spirt. God creatd all we see includin al we can eva imagin and God is a spirit. Der is tym 4evrytin, humanly 1st Aprl is a time/day 4all those hu say there is no God. Disapointinly, such a thing is comin 4m a reportin agency lyk N.E, wot a shame! May d Saviour come 2ur aid.
ReplyDeleteNice 1 Nigerian Eye. Good prophesy, this joke will surely become a reality.
ReplyDeleteLet's pray for this joke to become a reality. Amen.
I fell flat for it and to think I almost posted it to my friends on facebook to congratulate them. Kudos to the writer He deserves award for this. Thanks for making my day.
ReplyDeleteRubbish! How can you do this at the detriment of the confidence we have in your news. Please, dont get me angry, otherwise....
ReplyDeleteHmmm! u really got me...
ReplyDeleteKai! cant still bliv dat, infact i was even more happier tha Nngozi herself...
any way nothing is imposible with GOD for those who said its impossible...
OMG! This was pretty expensive i must confess. I had to share it with colleagues @ work; we were already drinking to it until i scrolled to the comments. I cld'nt believe it was a joke to fool us (Laughs)... but thumbs up to the guy that's behind it. It's probably the best i've gotten for April 1. April idiot! April fool indeed.
ReplyDeleteA serious minded news site ought not to be caught dead playing this type of prank on a very sensitive matter of national pride...really sad.
ReplyDeletei was beginning to take this site as a serious source of news but i guess i have to rethink that
Ngozi, i congratulate you on your new position. This attests to the fact that what a man can do, a woman can do better. May the God Almighty give you a divine wisdom and knowledge to pilot the world affairs and empower the poor and less privileged countries all over the world in Jesus name. Congratulations to the Women all over the world; Congratulations to Nigeria; Congratulations Africa.
ReplyDeleteMaureen is saying....
ReplyDeleteWhy are you disappointed in Nigerian eye?are you mad?this is just a joke and dont see the reason for all these useless comments.you guys should grow up and stop these silly write-ups.Nigerian Eye should not apologise to anybody for April fool has been celebrated for years,so if they joke with Ngozi iweala,so be it and stop all these nonsence talk about integrity and scriptural talks.
Nigerian Eye,is doing great and should be encouraged,instead of saying trash.
Chio I don die!!!!!!! Seee me I don dey about to go facebook twitter myspace dey dance atilogu chio!!! Una get me bad!!!!
ReplyDelete@ angry nigerian girl!!! With all due respect It is evident you lack brains! And what you just wished ngozi,Nigeria and africa and developing nations as a whole be your own portions not ours! And to all others who think this is a joke gone too far! Please wake up and don't be like the 5 foolish virgins
ReplyDeleteAm glad you made it and you are a Nigerian. This is a sign of good things to come . God will sustain you with the spirit of transparency on this seat.
ReplyDeleteLOVETH NGWABA
Let's face it, was she ever a contender?
ReplyDeleteI have missed feelings while reading it but, in all honesty, the percentage of my believing it is higher than my doubt. Its good, guys please keep it up.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous
ReplyDeleteRead all your comment! N.E do u know what you have done might implicate Ngozy? You take it as a joke,do other countries take it as a joke or as a blasphemy? Just wanna ask you one question who ivented april fools day? Cause any celebration that has nothing to do with God is of the devil... Be wise!!! NYC
Pope must hear this...
ReplyDeleteuna try oh
ReplyDeleteAlleluia!I like this a lot! Congrata Sister! God, who made this beautiful in His time will give the Wisdom to perform in the new position!Cheers!
ReplyDeleteGod you too much let you will be done at is in Heaven by making us the head OSTENSIBLE EMMANUEL AGAGWO FROM NIGERIAN
ReplyDeleteIn as much as 'April fools' day is celebrated, NigerianEye is a media agency not just a group of social youths. The whole world is reading this news so this is quite expensive. To all those saying its just a joke, imagine President Goodluck Jonathan making a speech on the 1st of April that minimum wage has been increased by 100%, or fuel price reduced to #20, then later saying its April fool. There would be another riot in Nigeria as people would not take it lightly. Pls NigerianEye, in as much as you like to ease our stress and make us laugh, remember this is a news site. This is not facebook, twitter, nor an entertainment site. As much as i appreciate your news updates(which i always look forward to), i really think you over-did it this time. I will advise your administrator to please correct this mistake by writing a speech and ensuring it doesn't happen again.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
in total resonance with the comment above!
ReplyDeleteLife is beautiful n meant to b lived simple.please jst enjoy d joke a little humour won't hurt as its said; laughter is d best medicine.
DeleteNigerianEye,
ReplyDeleteTrust me, this is may be the end of the road for you. You may be on the verge of ruining yourself.Do not mind all those saying this is allowable! Who is the boss over there? Are there professionals in NigerianEye? Who brought up this silly and childish idea?
However, the situation is redeemable. Begin right now to send out apologies. I am a very concerned reader. Otherwise, I would have kept quiet and watch you crumble.
By gosh! How could you?
Well, if you do not get sued, it is a miracle.
seriously....ha just seeing this...and my first reaction was oh my God!!!! Hw wonderful it is...cos i knw she does merit it n desrves it.....but chkn the whole comments, sw April fool n realised i had also been fooled.....wat a haaaaaa......anywayz u got me there!!!!
ReplyDeleteNigerianEye certainly has indirectly informed us who their target audience is: children.
ReplyDeleteImagine Reuters or AP or Thisday newspaper doing this.
Anyway, the writer does have a deep sense of humour seeking ways of outlet.
Well, you misplaced your joke, you made people not to trust your news next time. Bye
ReplyDeleteEven after telling us it is a joke people are still angry. the anger of these people have nothing to do with the joke, they have personal issues and they would have reacted to any other joke the same way, they bring their personal issues into other affairs. it is a joke what else do you want to be told!.
ReplyDeleteDavid says......
ReplyDeleteWait a minute! I'm not so clear about this?
Can CNN makes an April fool out of world affair- that is still fresh in the minds of millions of people around the world? Can BBC even do the same?
When we are complaining about our rulers and David Mark, in particular? They show no feelings toward the plight of every Nigerians. And you guys at Nigerianeye knew it and that is part of the peculiar Nigerian system you are fighting to correct daily.
With this story, this is not April fool; you are simply being insensitive to millions of people's feelings toward world issue- that is still as fresh as anything.
You guys don’t need to take it rough! I must confess to you- your so called April fool seemed out of context. The media cannot afford, in fact cannot justify making April fool out of events- real or imagined!
Great Nigerians Great people!!! one thing i love about Nigerians is that, when we are here at home, we fight each other, castigate, open each others yansh, destroy, wound and killed each other as if we are our worse enemies, but when it comes to us in the world out there, we cover up each others back even if the back is rotten it doesn't matter. if only we could practice that too here at home to each other, Nigeria will be the best place to be on this planet earth.
ReplyDeleteToday, Nigeria set her foot in the sands of time, making history and making the whole of Africa proud by Producing the First-ever World Bank President from Africa. Our own daughter-of-the-soil Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala is to direct world economy. As from today Nigeria will have a greater say in the World Bank, and consequently the vision 2020 will now become a more visible possibility for Nigeria.
