All hail this Nigerian woman who has become head of the World Trade Organization which aims to encourage international commerce by removing trade barriers.

Isn´t good to know that it is now in the hands of someone from a country that is synonymous with corruption, financial scams, violence and, for good measure, an Islamic terrorist group that specializes in kidnapping schoolgirls?

She is a former Nigerian finance minister and one of her greatest triumphs was managing a debt write-off of US$ 18 billion. Tough luck if you were one of those patsies who had loaned Nigeria any money.

Although she is a proud Nigerian and goes in for tribal trappings and costumes, she is also an American citizen. Having a Green Card is always useful for citizens of places like Nigeria.
(US Citizenship and being a “green card” holder are two different things – before anyone comments I’ll save you the trouble – NA)

Anyway, she can´t be any worse than her predecessor, a Brazilian nonentity who achieved nothing in his term of office. Brazil is one of the most protected markets in the world. When I was there I once thought of buying a camera that was not available locally but gave up the idea when I saw that the import taxes amounted to twice the cost of the product itself.
