Ngozi Okonjo- Iweala makes history.


   Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, former Minister of Finance was appointed on  Monday as the Director General of the  world's international trade body ( World Trade Organization) as it seeks to resolve disagreements over how it decides cases involving billions in sales and thousands of jobs.
  Okonjo-Iweala at 66  was appointed director-general of the World Trade Organization by representatives of the 164 member countries.
   According to a statement from the body, President Biden raises concerns over human rights trade and in response, Ngozi, said in a statement that her first priority would be to quickly address the economic and health consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, According to her“  I will implement responses we need to get the global economy going again", “Our organization faces many great challenges but working together we can collectively make the WTO stronger, more agile and better adapted to the realities of today”.
    Her appointment as the Director-General came after new United States President Joe Biden endorsed her candidacy, which had been blocked by former President Donald Trump. The most intriguing thing about this victory is, She is the First African Woman to have attain this position and this is a triumph for all African women.
  Congratulations to Ngozi Okonjo- Iweala, we pray that the sky will be her starting point and to all women we can actually stand in the corridor of power.

Why do they keep staring?

In these few years God has blessed me with on earth,I have seen so many things:the good,the bad,the ugly.I am so curious about men and their way of thinking.He is driving on the road,he is looking,in the office,he is looking,in the park,he is looking,even in church he is looking...Chei!what is it?.He gladly boasts that every man is wired that way,he couldn't be different. Ladies,have you ever been looked at by a guy so badly that you almost puked?There are those whose stares make you feel like smacking them behind and saying,don't be silly!.There are others whose stares make you feel embarrased and uncomfortable but there are those who make you feel like a queen made to be worshipped.Hahah...yea,I know that feeling...hey,don't worry the feeling is mutual.I like it too.I mean who doesn't want to feel wanted?. However,I am particularly curious about why some men just go bonkers at the sight of a woman.Why his nose will trace a perfume to the owner?Why his mouth will hang ...

Reasons for sharing

Knowledge,to me is closely linked to our identity.sharing is generally a willful method of disemminating useful information to other people.By sharing, we build realationships so that what we share is received and treated with respect.Actually,knowledge sharing and relationships are interlinked.It is therefore,imperative that we share love which is the bedrock of any lasting relationship.

Oops!it's been rain rain rain in this part of my world for the past one week.At times it can be really annoying,especially when you have planned a fun day and the rains come pouring down making the ground all wet and irritating.If there is anything I love to do,it is shopping.I had planned to go shopping and the rain wouldn't just go away so I threw caution to the wind and grabbed my little umbrella.Out in the rain I went,quickly hailed a cab and zoomed to the market. The entrance to the market was something else.Obviously like me,the rain couldn't deter so many people.People were milling around everywhere,even beggars sat put in their positions begging for alms from all who passed them.One of them particularly caught my attention.Unlike others he was standing,his buttons were all undone and I saw something like a rope connected to his navel,tracing the end,I saw something like a drip or something but some kind of satchet with some content in it in his hand and then there w...
