Ms. Obiageli (Oby) Ezekwesili, Vice President for Africa at the World Bank, opens the London Stock Exchange on Thursday, 6 October 2011. The market rallied, closing 3.7 percent up, extending gains seen on Wall Street and in Asia the day before. Ahead of her symbolic ringing of the opening bell (the LSE has no bell in this electronic age), Oby had expressed the wish the night before that her act would ease fears over a potential global recession, trigger investments in Africa and soothe financial markets roiled by the euro zone debt crisis. Well? Prayer answered!
