ReplyDeleteAbi ooo....! Na wow o.
ReplyDeleteGood thinking, good products...
ReplyDeleteSo what of her husband Mr. Iweala? who is he and what does he do? No body ever talks of him. Is he alive or dead. I guess she's a single parent, she has done greatly well, bringing up good children singlehandedly, not an easy task at all! kudos to u ma'am.
ReplyDeleteYou find us Nigerians excelling in different parts of the world; speaking French, Portuguese, Latin, holding high standing degrees, making ground breaking landmarks, setting sky scrapping records...yet they call us uncivilized...it's because we refused to uphold all the good that we have as Nigerians, we use our own mouths to destroy one another instead of helping one another..Let's Defend our land... we're all we have.
ReplyDeleteGood one
ReplyDeleteWhat is this write up is all about oooo? To oppress or what?

ReplyDeleteHarvard Family Education Bills.
ReplyDeletePayable by the suffering economies of unfortunate economies like Nigeria.
Hope this is not Family Profile Laundering in order to lord the kid-okonjos on the ever hardworking,brilliant and resilient Nigerians.
Let them take their Harvard Certs n exposures to Europe and America and see whether they will be reckoned with or entrusted with public offices.
How can you use our local sweats to empower other systems n economies and yet use expect to continually milk us for sustenance.
Abegi. let them carry their jaga jaga papers n lack of ground experiences n local know how commot for road joor.
There are better brains whose parents believed n helped to grow Nigeria's system through patronage of our local institutions
Bad products from Bad Imperialists.

ReplyDeleteI wonder Y una dey hate,if e pain u,try and be like them and ppl will respect u...abeg abeg abeg...stop being jealous....who told u that all this was from our nation's money?dint she come from the world bank to serve Nigeria?see u ppl cannot rubbish this woman...even CNN's Christine Amanpour who tried to rubbish our presido cud nt rubbish this woman in her interview with her.Hayab
ReplyDeletei hate sheer enviousness and naked greed. This is a woman whose parents are both Professors. Does that not tell you things about her stable and rich background? This is a woman whose parents fortified her with sound and sufficient education from the prestigious Harvard university and by extension, laid a solid foundation for her and as God would have it she got married to a renowned Medical doctor. You can see how families are planned. She rose to the peak of civil service in the world bank and has came severally to demonstrate her passion for Nigeria despite our ungratefulness. She has been able to prove her mettle and live above board. For somebody from such erudite background, it then appeals to common sense to see all her children taking her footsteps academically because hers really paid off. So it will be very criminal and useless of anybody to come here to start ranting rubbish on this noble a family. Instead i simply urge you to ask your parents what they where doing when others were toiling day and night to build a very stable background for their children. whether they were pursuing rat.... Also, it has reached your turn now to make it genuinely for your own children,flash back to know where you are now. Let us embrace greatness and appreciate hard work, for by so doing God will bless our own little efforts.
