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.

where have Amanda been?

Wish I could begin to tell all the tales just on this page as concisely as possible.It will be an uphill task both for me and you too dear reader.However,October was a very busy month for me.Imagine,not having time to pen down anything for you to read?It was just too muddled up.Started with twin bombings in Abuja where I reside and then the loss of a very dear aunt.It was just too emotional for me but you can bet I am back on this blog for good.Lets keep keeping on and most importantly stay saluting the creator and giver of life.Life is a treasure no man should be quick to part with!

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. Why am I sharing anyway? I know you are just wondering why you should bother about sharing anyway,you probably feel you are not loved enough or not loved at all.mhnnn...the question is how much love do you give,how much love can you afford to share? Well,you know what they say,habits die hard...I simply love to share and again I share out of a sense of responsibility for my future...."what you sow is what you reap!".I feel there is a huge gap that needs us to fill it,simply by sharing love. This love could be for that husband who isn't living up to responsibility,that wife who wouldn...

How can we share love in a world void of love?

As each day passes,I see that so many people do not understand what sharing love is all about.Just last night,I saw a man,not a boy.I mean a full fledged man beating up a lady just by the roadside as if she were some common thief.On inquiry,I discovered she was his girlfriend.Did I hear you say,what?!!!.mhnnn...the feeling is mutual,but come to think of it,he may have had a reason which he felt was good enough to beat her up.Someone may say no reason is good enough...chapter closed. I remember sharing with you earlier that every person has a reason for every action he/she takes,wether good or bad.If he had beat her to death,he will still have a reason for his action and he would engage the services of a lawyer who will readily defend him in the court of law.That's the kind of world we live in...simply void of love. You know,on television this morning,I just kept hearing the news on rape.In case you are thinking the victim may have caused it for herself,well sorry to diasppoint ...
