Beneath the swagger and finesse of the former Coordinating Minister
for the Economy/Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, lies the
tough and unyielding soul of a combatant.
It takes the tenacity and strength of such an unyielding soul, no
doubt, to stare cancer’s perfect pain and misery in the eyes and conquer
it in a terrifying battle between life and death. Yes, Okonjo-Iweala
had cancer and she lived with it over certain dreary number of years.
She made the shocking revelation not too long ago. Few women bear
the crucible of pain and face down death in a no-holds-barred joust and
live to tell their story. But Ngozi did and she emerged with her life
intact.
Very few people are aware she once took a trip down death boulevard
while she battled life-threatening cancer. According to her, the fight
against cancer was a struggle she would never forget. But with
unprecedented faith and towering resilience, she survived the deadly
disease.
She has emerged wiser and stronger like a piece of gold whose value
and quality increases by every second it spends in the intensity of a
hot forge.
