1Nigeria: Adrift, Awaiting the Arrival of a Woman?Nizeria: Misaritaka, Miandry Ny Fahatongavanà Vehivavy Iray?
2I owe the title of this post to my Facebook friend - TJ:Atolotro an'i TJ, namako ao amin'ny vohikala Facebook, ny lohatenin'ity lahatsoratra ity- :
3Most Nigerians don't know, that all of Nigeria is adrift, awaiting the arrival of a woman…Maro ireo Nizeriana no tsy mahalala fa misavoritaka i Nizeria iray manontolo miandry ny fahatongavan'ilay vehivavy iray…
4Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala (NOI), the woman in question, is Nigeria's new Finance Minister and Coordinating Minister for the Economy.Io vehivavy resahana io dia i Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala (NOI), Minisitry ny Fitantanam-bola vaovao sy Minisitra Misahana ny Toe-karena.
5Until recently, NOI was the Managing Director of the World Bank.Vao haingana kely i NOI no tale jeneralin'i Banky Iraisam-pirenena.
6As soon as the press went wild with her appointment, netizens have not ceased speaking about the most powerful woman in President Goodluck Jonathan's cabinet.Raha vao nanomboka nikotaba ny haino aman-jery mikasika an'io fanendrena azy io, dia tsy nitsahatra niresaka momba an'io vehivavy manam-pahefana ambony indrindra tao amin'ny kabinetran'ny filoha Goodluck Jonathan io ny mponin'ny aterineto .
7For many, she is one of the best in the team that the president will be working with.Ho an'ny rehetra, izy io no manam-pahaizana indrindra amin'ireo ekipa miara-miasa amin'io filoha io.
8Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Nigeria's new Finance Minister.I Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, minisitra vaovao misahana ny fitantanam-bola ao Nizeria.

10Obviously Okonjo-Iweala is a trouble maker as @nmachijidenma explains:Hita taratra mazava tsara fa mpanakorontana no voambolana namaritana an' i Okonjo-Iweala raha araka ny fanazavan'i @nmachijidenma:
11“When I became finance minister they called me Okonjo-Wahala - or Trouble Woman.“Raha vao voatendry ho minisitry ny fitantanam-bola aho dia nopetahan'izy ireo ny anarana hoe Okonjo-Wahala - na vehivavy maha-be olana.
12It means ‘I give you hell.'Midika izany hoe ‘Tsy hahita fiadanana ianao.'
13But I don't care what names they call me.Fa tsy raharahako izay anarana hiantsoan'izy ireo ahy.
14I'm a fighter; I'm very focused on what I'm doing, and relentless in what I want to achieve.Mpitolona aho; ary mifantoka tanteraka amin'ny zavatra sahaniko aho, ary tsy azon'iza na iza sakanana amin'ny tanjona tiako tratrarina.
15If you get in my way, you get kicked.”Raha manembatsembana ny làlako ianareo, dia ho dakàko. ”.
16The above were statements by Nigeria's former minister for finance, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, on her ministerial tenure in Nigeria.Lahatenin'i Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala minisitry ny fitantanam-bola tao Nizeria teo aloha ireo voalaza eo ambony ireo, nandritry ny fotoana naha minisitra azy tao Nizeria.
17Segun Adeleye applauds both NOI's patriotism and President Goodluck's goodwill:Nidera ny fitiavan-tanindrazan'i NOI sy ny finiavan'ny filoha Goodluck i Segun Adeleye:
18The engagement of Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, World Bank managing director, as the Minister of Finance, the position she formerly occupied under the President Olusegun Obasanjo administration, can be seen from the point of view of great sacrifices both on the part of President Goodluck Jonathan and Okonjo Iweala.Ny fahavononan'i Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Tale jeneralin'i Banki Iraisam-pirenena, ho lasa minisitry ny fitantanam-bola, toerana niandraiketany teo aloha tao amin'ny governemantan'ny filoha Olusegun Obasanjo, dia ahitàna mazava tsara ny ‘fahafoizan-tena lehibe' nataon'ny filoha Goodluck Jonathan sy Okonjo Iweala.
19Without any preview to the negotiation that brought the former finance minister back, the President must have conceded a considerable power to her to manage the economy, while on her part, for a second time, she is resigning the job that has made her a global star to serve her father's land.Tsy nisy sarintsarina fifanarahana natao akory mba hamerenana amin'ny toerany ny minisitry ny fitantanam-bola teo aloha, fa tonga dia nomen'ny Filoha an'i NOI ny fahefana lehibe hiandraikitra ny ara-toe-karena, ary raha ny momba azy indray, fanindroany izao, nafoiny ny asa aman'andraikiny izay nahatonga azy ho olo-malaza eran-tany mba ho fanompoana ny tanin'ny rainy.
20In a country where corruption is the norm, one has to be a ‘trouble woman' or else it would be impossible to become “Nigeria's Economic Reformer”.Any amin'ny firenena anjakan'ny kolikoly, dia tsy maintsy ‘vehivavy maha-be olana' no ilaina raha tsy izany dia sarotsarotra ny ho lasa “Olona Mpanova ny Toe-karena ao Nizeria”.
21TED posits that:Nilaza ny heviny i TED:
22As the first female Finance Minister in Nigeria, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala attacked corruption to make the country more desirable for foreign investment and job creation.Koa satria moa i Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala no vehivavy voalohany indrindra voatendry ho minisitry ny fitantanam-bola tao Nizeria, dia izy no niady tamin'ny kolikoly mba hahatonga ny firenena ho hahasarika famatsiam-bola avy any ivelany sy fiforonan'asa.
23Now as a director of the World Bank and head of the Makeda Fund, she works for change in all of Africa.Ankehitriny kosa, raha lasa talen'i Banky Iraisam-pirenena sy lehiben'ny Makeda Fund izy dia miasa ho an'ny fanovàna an'i Afrika iray manontolo.
24In her first sojourn as in the Finance Ministry, NOI was credited with the following:Tamin'ny andro voalohany nandraisan'i NOI ny toeran'ny Minisitry ny Fitantanam-bola, dia toy izao manaraka izao no nitsaran'ny olona azy :
25President Olusegun Obasanjo recruited Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala from the World Bank and made her Nigeria's finance minister from 2003 to 2006, and briefly foreign minister in 2006.Nisafidy an'i Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, tao amin'i Banky Iraisam-pirenena ny filoha Olusegun Obasanjo ary nanendry azy ho Minisitry ny Fitantanam-bola ao Nizeria ny taona 2003 ka hatramin'ny taona 2006, ary minisitry ny raharaham-bahiny nandritry ny fotoana fohy tamin'ny taona 2006.
26During her time in office, she was probably the most successful and highest profile minister in Obasanjo's government.Nandritra ny fotoana nanatanterahany ny asa aman'andraikiny, dia hita fa izy angamba no minisitra nahomby indrindra sy nahafeno ny fepetra rehetra nilaina tao amin'ny governemantan'i Obasanjo.
27Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala promoted transparency into the Nigerian government's finances by publishing in the newspapers Abuja's monthly funding allocations (largely based on oil revenue) to each of the thirty six states.Nanandratra avo ny fisian'ny mangarahara ao amin'ny fitantanam-bolan'ny governemanta Nizeriana i Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala tamin'ny alalan'ny famoahana an-gazety isam-bolana ny famatsiam-bola omen'i Abuja (izay mifototra matetika amin'ny tombom-barotra azo avy amin'ny solika) ho an'ireo firenena tsirairay miisa enina amby telopolo.
28She also oversaw Nigeria's first sovereign credit ratings from Fitch and Standard and Poor's, BB- at the time.Nanara-maso koa izy ny fanomezana isa ny toe-bolam-panjakana voalohany nataon'ny Fitch, sy ny Standard and Poor's, BB- tamin'izany fotoana.
29However, there are many craters ahead and as such “Fears for Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala” are not unfounded:Na izany aza, maro ireo olana teo anoloana ary dia hita fa nitombina izany “Tahotra an'i Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala” izany:
30This, indeed, is good news for Nigerians, but the challenge is how Okonjo-Iweala will achieve this in an environment where both the executive and legislature are neck deep in profligacy.Mazava ho azy fa vaovao mahafaly tokoa ho an'ireo Nizeriana izany, fa ny fanamby dia ny hoe ahoana ny fomba hahavitan'i Okonjo-Iweala izany manoloana ny mpanatanteraka sy ny mpanao lalàna izay tena mpandany vola fatratra tokoa.
31Already, Okonjo-Iweala has been reported to be getting threat calls from corrupt politicians and businessmen warning her not to return to Nigeria for this assignment. ….Tsy tapitapitr'izay, nisy nanao tatitra fa mahazo antso fandrahonana avy amin'ireo mpanao politika mpanao kolikoly sy mpanao afera i Okonjo-Iweala mampitandrina azy tsy hiverina ao Nizeria handray ny asa aman'andraikiny . ….
32There are fears that the lady might be isolated in a cabinet that may not be on the same wavelength with her on some of the sensible reforms she would likely introduce.Nisy ny ahiahy amin'ny hoe ho voahilikilika izy ao amin'ny governemanta satria tsy hitovy fomba fijery aminy avokoa ny mpikambana rehetra ao eo amin'ny fanovàna izay eritreretiny hatao.
33In particular, she is likely to step on some big toes in her bid to try to reduce the high cost of government.Indrindra indrindra, toa sahala amin'ny manitsaka ny tokotany filalaovan'ny goavana izy amin'ny ezaka ataony hanena ny fandaniam-be ataon'ny governemanta.
34Her association with the World Bank leaves her with a Janus-Complex.Ny fiaraha-miasany tamin'i Banbky Iraisam-pirenena dia nahatonga azy hanana ny ‘Janus-Complex'.
35It may be a tight rope trying to wade off the ‘Imperialist' label.Mety ho henjana ny ezaka hiala amin'ny fatotry ny tadin'ny antsoina hoe ‘mpambotry vahoaka - Imperialist'.
36Uchenna Osigwe insists that:Nanitrikitrika i Uchenna Osigwe hoe:
37I have nothing against NOI and actually rejoice with her in her modest achievements in her chosen field.Tsy mankahàla an'i NOI aho ary miara-mifaly aminy aho raha ny marina amin'ny nahatratrarany am-panetren-tena ny tanjony teo amin'ny sehatra nofidiany .
38But I am also conscious of the fact that the institutes she works for are imperialist institutes that have not lifted any so-called third world country out of poverty.Nefa tsapako koa fa ny sehatra (institutions) rehetra niasany dia sehatra mpambotry vahoaka izay tsy nanàla na dia firenena iray mahantra aza tsy ho ao anaty fahantrana.
39I challenge anybody reading this to point out one country in the southern hemisphere that has been lifted out of poverty by the institutes that has been in existence for that very reason for almost 70 years now.Manao fanamby aminareo tsirairay avy mamaky ity lahatsoratra ity aho mba hanondro firenena iray any amin'ny ilabolantany atsimo ka hoe nafahan'io ‘institution' io tamin'ny fahantrana tato anatin'izay 70 taona eo ho eo izay. Tsy nisy na dia iray aza.
40None. On the contrary, those who achieved any significant measure of financial autonomy, like Brazil, did it in opposition, indeed in defiance, to the prescriptions of those institutes.Mifanohitra amin'izay aza, ireo firenena nahatratra fepetra lehibe teo amin'ny fahaleovan-tena ara-bola, toa an'i Brezila, duia nahadita izany tamin'ny fandàvana na koa fanoherana ny fepetra napetrak'ireny ‘institutions' ireny.
41Nonetheless NOI will be a breath of fresh air for Nigeria.Tsy azo lavina fa i NOI dia hitondra rivo-baovao madio ho an'i Nizeria.
42As such it is difficult to demur with Nmachi Jidenma that:Sarotra noho izany no handà ny fomba fijerin'i Nmachi Jidenma izay manao hoe:
43… For corrupt and undisciplined government officials: ‘wahala dey'.… Ho an'ireo mpitondra fanjakana izay mpanao kolikoly sy tsy mpanara-dalàna: ‘wahala dey'.
44It looks like ‘the trouble woman' is back in town!Ohatran'ny hoe tafaverina ao amin'ny firenena ‘ilay vehivavy maha-be olana'!
45This is of course good news for Nigerians and most of us would be happy to have her back.Mazava ho azy fa vaovao mahafaly ho an'ny Nizeriana izany ary ny ankamaroantsika dia faly amin'ny fiverenany.
