I won my battle with cancer 15 years ago - Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala

Minister of Finance Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala yesterday disclosed that she was diagnosed with cancer some years back and had her last surgery for it 15 years ago.

Mrs Okonjo-Iweala spoke about her experience at the Service of Songs for late Special Adviser to the President on Research and Documentation, Oronto Douglas yesterday April 30th. According to the Minister, she constantly used her experience to encourage Oronto during his battle with the disease which led to his death on April 9th.


"Oronto and I had two similarities in life, we both had cancer. I had my last surgery 15 years ago and I shared my experience with him,” she said.
She however did not state what type of cancer she had.

      Thank God for your life ma, many are not that lucky, but those who are alive should count their blessings and make their living count, not just for their own aggrandisement in positions of influence but selflessly for others, so madam, oya go and pay oil marketers to relieve Nigerians of d scourge of hardship. Thank u

      Mr.Obot! It is only in Nigeria that calling people out on their misdeeds amounts to hypocrisy. When you have your children don't reprimand them for lying or stealing seeing as you their father still does all things.
