I hope the new cabinet members will deliver and work for the people and not try to use the opportunity offered to them by the president to enrich their pockets.

Please stop insulting ur father, ur mother, ur village, ur President, ur Country. If Obama or President of South Africa reshuffled their cabinet, will u insult them? There is a Chinese proverb, that another man' s wife is more beautiful than urs. Don't u know that the more u insult ur President, the more foreigners insult u. This is why foreigners detest Nigerians. If u can't respect ur President, u can never respect the God u do not see. Don't deceive urself. Democracy is not how much u can insult those in authority.

My sentiments exactly. Why have minster for 'xyz' and then minister of state for same. It makes for poorer accountability in my opinion. Whoever takes over shouldn't bother to duplicate offices unnecessarily!

Linda I know you were in a hurry to break the news hence the few errors. Kindly ensure that Mrs. Onwuliri's position is as Minister for State Education. I thought that if she is Minister for state in foreign affairs and she became the substantive Minister, it then means she comes the Minister in charge of foreign affairs in a substansive (actual not in acting capacity) position and shouldn't be in another ministry as minister for state. If this is the case, then it will be nice you correct it. Also when you say the other Ministers are in active position, I believe you meant acting position. That way they are in a more temporary position and not yet confirmed as the substantive minister in charge of those ministries. My sister kindly fix those if that is what you meant. I love what you are doing by the way. Keep it up.
