    The Best of #BeLikeNgoziChallenge as Temie Tubosun Inspires Unique Celebration for NOI’s WTO DG Appointment

    The Best of #BeLikeNgoziChallenge as Temie Tubosun Inspires Unique Celebration for NOI’s WTO DG Appointment

    Nigerians have been having a merry time, especially on social media, as they celebrate Ngozi Okonjo Iweala on her appointment as the new director-general of the World Trade Organization (WTO). Not only is she the first African to occupy the position, she is also the first woman to run the WTO.

    Responding to her appointment, she said in a tweet, “It is done! Thank you, @WTO members, for finalizing my election today and making history. In the 73 years of GATT and WTO, honoured to be First Woman and First African to lead. But now the real work begins. Ready to tackle the challenges of WTO. Forget Business as usual!”

    Suggested Read: Twitter Succumbs to Diversity Pressure, Appoints First African Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala to Board

    NOI is known for many things, one of them being her trademark dressing which always spotlights an ankara and gele (headtie) stylishly worn upon her head. In the spirit of the celebration, founder of LifeBank, Temie Giwa-Tubosun, launched a challenge for people to dress like Iweala and upload the pictures on social media.

    Source: Twitter

    The best replication of the iconic ankara style will receive a cash prize of N100,000.

    Ladies and gentlemen, it’s tomorrow! #NoiGoesToWTO! We are giving away N100k to the best dressed! Dress up like NOI and send her a message of support as she goes to WTO! #AnkaraArmy stand up!!!! pic.twitter.com/iT3LNB0Aa0

    Temie Giwa’s dress up challenge

    You can trust that Nigerians showed up for this because we stand up for our own as much as we can. From all the entries, there are the good ones, the laughable ones and the passable ones. Here are our top selections below.

    — Deni✨✨ (@Adenikeola_) February 16, 2021

    Please remind me NEVER to disrespect mum Iweala’s gele! 😑

    30 minutes to get the gele right…😂#BeLikeNgoziChallenge pic.twitter.com/4dpcQuNTTf

    — Adetutu Balogun, MBA (@Tutsy22) February 16, 2021
    Best replica of Iweala’s gele

    Uneasy lies the head that wants to tie Iweala’s gele

    Iweala’s style of tying her headtie is quite uncommon and virtually everyone that took part in the challenge had difficulty getting the gele right. Some people tried, though, but only very few came close to looking exactly like the real thing.

    The headtie should be studied in Harvard. #BeLikeNgoziChallenge pic.twitter.com/36yiHAfCCg

    — Evienbor Elizabeth (@alizabirth16) February 16, 2021
    Score: 1 out of 10 just because she used ankara. LOL

    Congratulations, @NOIweala!
    We're very proud of you!#BeLikeNgoziChallenge pic.twitter.com/U1osKke8Qb

    Just like she said, “Ko easy!” (It’s not easy)

    Please we need youtube tutorials, I don't think I'm tying it right 😂😂#BeLikeNgoziChallenge pic.twitter.com/BiT6dLQDVo

    It’s not only 100K you will get, sir

    Super proud of @NOIweala who is inspiring millions of people out there #BeLikeNgoziChallenge pic.twitter.com/4koGoEUCgB

    — Mubarak(XLR) (@mubricks) February 16, 2021

    The point of the #BeLikeNgoziChallenge is to show African women and men a role model to look up to as well as celebrate her appointment which is a win for the African continent as a whole. In light of this, children also took part in the challenge, congratulating Iweala and emulating her style of dressing in their entries. Here are some of them.

    This is my entry for #NoiGoesToWTO #BelikeNgoziChallenge
    I told you @temite I had a special entry. Please vote for us guys. @NOIweala we are so proud of you. Thank you for giving my daughter and so many African girls someone to look up to. pic.twitter.com/Vr3wN34c78

    @NOIweala Ma’am, you have been such an inspiration to me and my friends.

    Thank you for everything that you do. Thank you for everything that you are.

    I hope to be like you someday 😊#BeLikeNgoziChallenge pic.twitter.com/icRXvbIkep

    — She thinks you’re alright that’s why she (@glamour_idiagi) February 16, 2021

    Temie is yet to announce the winner of the challenge. She won’t be wrong to award it to herself though because her own replica remains one of the best. No matter who wins the cash prize though, the challenge has been a good way of collectively reminding Africans that we can retain our heritage and still be trailblazers.

    For being a worthy role-model as well as for her appointment, we celebrate Ngozi Okonjo Iweala now and always.
