The Coordinating Minister for the Economy, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala’s World Bank presidency nomination has left more than just a few tongues wagging, with many stating their beliefs in her being qualified for the job, and others who view it as a ploy by her to “escape” the country. Check out the top ten tweets on the issue below.

@omojuwa: If you cannot successfully sit down and coordinate an economy of 160 million, how can you manage the World?

@rosanwo: If NOI turns the economy around, why cant she be the President of Nigeria which is more important than World Bank President
