Congrats to Mrs Sarah Jubril............Special Adviser to the president on Ethics and Values.......
ReplyDeleteOBY and UMY had at least 25.
ReplyDeleteWhat happened to Bianca Ojukwu? That was short lived then.
Mrs Sarah Jubril; that's the closest she will get to the seat of power. I say congrats!
Mrs. Asma’u Abdulkadir, Special Adviser to the President on Gender Issues- I wonder if she will get some work done or just roll back and forth to her office because she has become to fat from theft.
ReplyDeleteYes, sister Linda, it def. seems like a lot of new positions. However, I'm sure these are some of the people Jonathan promised to help out when he was still running for presidency. You know black people always got to help a brother out.
And I see they created a new position for the affairs of the national cake (Niger Delta). You know they have to protect where they get their extra vacation money to "overseas". Carry go meatballs!!!
This GEJ. is just too dence,incapable,insufficient,impotent to rule Nigeria....a very confused looking man like this.
ReplyDeleteCorrect....SARAH JUBRIL.....this woman sef.....finally u enta Aso rock....

ReplyDeleteLayers and Layers of nonsense.
ReplyDeleteWhy can't the ministers advise the president on these issues?
Why cant house of assembly or senate have committees that advise the president on these issues?
More positions for chop money...pssst
what a waste of resources!!!...the unseriousness of jonathan to deliver good governance is now beginning to manifest....40 ministers and 18 advisers!!!What a waste...we live a lie in nigeria....Shakespears probably had naija in mind when he writes "Oh judgement! thou has fled to brutish beast and men have lost their reasons"
