Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala: How to help Africa? Do business there
Вставка

- www.ted.com Negative images of Africa dominate the news: famine and disease, conflict and corruption. But Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, the former Finance Minister of Nigeria and now a director of the World Bank, says there's a less-told story unfolding in many African nations: one of reform, economic growth and business opportunity. Cracking down on corruption -- and the perception of corruption -- will be the key to its success. She tells how high-ranking Nigerian officials taking money illicitly have been jailed, and how citizens and prospective business partners are getting at least a partial picture now of where money flows.
And she's now the head of the WTO (World Trade Organization)!!
No slide, no note yet she delivered a FIRST CLASS lecture. This is the best so far for me🙌🙌🙌🙌
Unlike our current president, who cannot even read from written paper 😀
God bless you mama, listening to you makes me 100% proud to be born in Nigeria .
I wish you be the first woman president to lead Nigeria.
What an intelligent woman ,may your days be long ma.
This woman is very admirable. May God bless you abundantly, sister.
The current DIRECTOR GENERAL elect at the WTO❣️
I came here to listen to her early speeches,very proud of her.Mama help Africa arise.
We need to get out of the charitable mindset. I went to Zanzibar in 2011 and helped teach English as a second language. It was a FANTASTIC experience, but I now think that its best to invest in Africa.
Very great woman. We need more of you. great speech. Nigeria for life.
Pheww! Somebody has finally hit the nail on the head.... Very intelligent lady who knows her stuff
This woman is morethan a blessing. So proud of her
Since I've lost my mom, I've made you my mom. I'm watching during 2020 #Endsars
Really a freaking crook that look the other way under the johnathan administration.. Nigerians are doomed.. just because she's an old lady means nothing.. she's a crook
@@inmythoughts718 laughable
She is an iconic model to me. I love listening to her
Good
WHAT HAS SHE DONE FOR NIGERIA.. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING
@@inmythoughts718 you aren't even bold to use your real name. You are on your own. This woman is known everywhere but as for you, who are you? Soon she will become WTO boss and she did nothing for Nigeria?? Stop spoiling people , it's for you own good.
@@godwinsamuel5175 Director General,confirmation.
We can take charge of our own destinies. Indeed.
Man, I like this woman! She points out exactly what the problems are, and proposes solutions. So brilliant!
Her accent is awesome plus her truth
I truly admire this woman!!!!
WHAT HAS SHE DONE FOR NIGERIA.. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING
I am impressed by her other TED X speech and interviews... I did not know of this great woman before now, when I learned of her new position as head of the world Trade Organization, which has long been known to disrespect Africa. I was inspired. The words and record of Dr. Ngozi are remarkable. This may just be the great change in direction Africa needs to turn the tide, and assure her proper place at the table of those bringing wealth to the world, and not the false illusion of African poverty..
Only fools are impressed by this woman.
Fools who don't understand anything about economics, nationality and how to sustain a nation. This woman has helped the WTO Rob Africa and she knows it. But for you clowns you don't care what she actually does all you care is that on your mind she is earning big bucks as an individual. She is a puppet used to hurt Africa.
@@rcikaal8804It's unfortunate you think of her like this. NOI is known globally. Her imprint on the global stage is bold n visible enough for all to study. No wonder her overwhelming endorsement by all the WTO member nations. Are you wiser n smarter than all the membernations. Do you have the capacity to invalidate the overwhelming support she has earned from people from everywhere around the world? There're certain positions I will never take in life. One of such is your stand n attitude of negativity in the midst of overwhelming goodwill towards her from others (millions) - and not just others, but folks who know better.
Every word was captivating! She has a wealth of knowledge and experience!
U are the best so far. Just 4 of your type can change a real lot in African, stay blessed and focus.
See the flow of the speech... I love you ma. You are my hero.
Wow! 12 years later, still as relevant
So well informed. I am in awe. Go Africa! Even though I'm from Asia I feel so bad that Africa continues to get raped by the west. I've seen quite a few good leaders from Africa on TED alone. You have no idea how good that makes me feel
God Bless you Dr A gift to Africa
The west wouldn’t let Africa succeed, this is like war going on.
The west is basically scared of an independent Africa.
Today china holds africa….
Ngozi mark my words.. next half century is for african CENTURY
I think those four guys missed the like button... Nne di ora mma. Jesike.
God bless Nigeria.
I look forward to having you as our Nigerian President in the near future.
Please can we just make this lady president. Nigeria needs her experience and her vision
The best talk on Africa I have ever head. Enough of blaming others and how bad Africa is.
This my friends, is the coolest person alive. Stupid American monopoly on the WTO, you deserved that presidency Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala.
Great visionary! you standout in the midst of corrupt elites.. Well-done Mrs Okonjo-Iweala
You are amazing. What a speech. I read about you since you become the Director-General of the World Trade Organization. I am lucky to have you here Madam.
Well done. The new Africa has so much to offer you all.
Africa, no words. Just action!!
Here here... Mama.
My point EXACTLY, all year and a half.
To be watched later.
Super proud of you ma'am
I congratulate our madam for being the first woman to hold this post and first African also for that matter the two first double do, we Africans are proud of you and hope you wil use this opportunity to help fellow Africans especially the girl child in education and also the women will also emulate your good example to propel the womanhood to reach higher heights.
Underrated video!!
Amazing talk Dr. Ngozi
Ada ka Ada, you're the best person that any country could have. I pray that may the Almighty God continue to enlighten the eyes of your understanding in Jesus name amen
This woman is great.
Wonderful Woman. Always advocating for Africa.
Yes, She is talking from EXPERIENCE.... awesome delivery, direct presentation.... Madam wish you the BEST as you take up the FINANCE MINISTRY HEAD ASSIGNMENT again..... you will SUCCEED......
Excellent and mind blowing presentation!!!!
Wonderful, madam secretary general. Your thoughts are full of hope that if we start implementing a fraction of them we could start turning The Sahara green.
The world has starved Africa, taking much for very little, which only elevated a few and left the rest poor and reliant on international aid. Africa must recognise it’s beauty and the much it has to offer to the rest of the world at a decent rate. Let’s up lift Africa.
Thank You For shining the light on the Hope For a better Future in Africa!! Thank You
Thank you mummy what a sound presentation👏👏👏
A remarkable speech!
Very out, intelligent, courageous, brilliant and Biafran spoken woman.We ❤️ sister
Wow. Just seeing this.
Lovely
Big Facts. I admire Ngozi so much.
WHAT HAS SHE DONE FOR NIGERIA.. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING
Nice proposition
to help Africa through investment. Kudos Madam "Finance"
Fantastic women for our country not for Nigeria only.
wow!!! marvellous discussion...
She is the best of the best.
God bless you Mama. well said 🙏🙏🙏

I love you again and again...
I really admire you a lot😭🎖️😘
Really strong woman
Well Said!!
Inspiring woman
Congratulations Doc
Wonderful ma
God bless you my sister, a brave and a wisdom woman. Igbo raze will save Africa from other countries that is using them to develope and grow their own economy.
Don't forget that one of their culprit from her georahical area called OKEKE has just gone down for 10 years in Virginia. Mother of Animal Farm. Original gate-keepers for the Eurocentric,,🤔
We really need to stand up and fight for our right.
excellent
Common sense isnt a common thing and that is why ignorance still thrives especially with people that know nothing about us.Its encouraging to know even though the world is not ready to see it, that the Nigerian people have taken the destiny we share into our hands and are making a head way.Those who hear us sing and hear nusery rhymes miss our songs of survival, those that see the lines in our hands as lines drawn by our idle forefathers miss the beauty in our palmistry.We're one,and are rising
Keep smashing your goals T.jay 🍷
Africa needs inspiring children like madam.
Long live Africa
💎🎀 thank you
The way you are talking here as I am listening now , you sounds so very well respected, honorable woman , smart and well known , so am hoping you look around and give some attention regarding this matter?
Its a sigh tht u hVW poaitie mind Jah bless u bro
Interesting~
Nice speech mama..
A new 21st CENTURY SHEROE, and possibly the MOST INFLUENTIAL Economic Architect who just recently became the WORLD TRADE COMMISSION Czar. CONGRATULATIONS, from the center of the UNITED STATES of AMERICA's: QUINDARO RUINS/ Underground Railroad- Exercise 2021
Mrs Ngozi, after listening to what you've done. Sounds like what u put ur hands to improves. If you ever read dis, den why not run for president in Nigeria?
Good
Fantastic woman
Fantastic? YOU MEAN THE WHITES PUT HER UP FRONT BECAUSE WOMEN ARE FRAGILE AND STEW PID THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO FRIGGING LEAD?
viram a palavra magica privatização.
'There is Africa you don't here much about'. How does the corporate media survive if not portraying Africa in the bad light in order to boost their rating
She is a roll model to all nigerians
It is up to us Africans to bring abt the change we want to see in Africa. Intl Migrant Remitances are the 2nd largest aid around the wld. africans with the capacities need to start investing back in their local economies. We keep blaming on the instabilities in the regions but hey only us can do it. Maya angelou once said, "when there is an issue, change it, if u cannot then change yr attitude. I started off by helping a local school + soon few friends joined + we r doing other small changes
God bless your efforts dear.
Investors make money, people benefit and everyone is happy.
She wouldn't have imagined what will be happening 14 years later
Africa of opportunity and partnership but Nigeria is a different case; shutting up it citizens and taking away our power.
GENIUS , SMART, ADMIRABLE ,ELOQUENT......mdr
And then buhari came in... 😭
👏👏👏👏
muito bom deixe o povo africano caminhar com suas propias pernas.
My kind of Woman
Super Woman
Not a surprise she’s the chosen one for WTO. She’s an epitome of intelligence... Africa is tired of all the foreign aids... Empowering and supporting the people to take ownership of their own welfare is better than all the patronizing foreign aids that robs Africans of their initiative and enslaved their minds
PREACH! Africa is no more "corrupt" than US or UK. Come on, guys, bernie Madoff? U cant exhort billions of dollars w/o a LOT of help!
All these were promising...........
Until Buhari came in😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I've seen an African who is a capitalist that's great ♥️
But Nigeria is making it increasingly difficult to offer help to her.
Hezkej kroj.
"except a few smart people" then everyone laughs as if to say "yeah thats us".
chinnyization, you have brashfully expressed your thoughts (and I dare say without proper reason). I agree with Bladen12345 that your argument is very weak. You obviously have misunderstood Ngozi; she is making a point on the power of foreign direct investment. I am sure that she pointed out that african governments have their failings, but her aim is to illustrate the wisdom of higher FDI as a better means of aiding africa as opposed to 'Charity Aid'.
She is my mother
I hope her sprech had an effect!
Chaaaa look at the mockery we have now in Nigeria as minister of finance so this woman is the bedrock of mostly all the infrastructure in Nigeria but today all this are staggering because of tax most of them are no longer surviving where did we get it wrong nigeria why can’t we leave corruption and get the best ones at the office and liberate this country why can’t we ? Nigeria why were did we get it wrong
Little wonder 12 years down the line, she became the D.G W.T.O. WHat a smart woman
Nigeria Takes One step front, an more than a Million back .
How will this investors feel in present Nigeria ,Dat even Drug lords are president .nobody accounts for their tenures in government offices.
It's too decayed now
