Looks like Lauretta was almost forgotten but included in the lady minute. Who knows what's to be celebrated in the woman.
ReplyDeleteMtchewwww
ReplyDeletePauline Tallen, Lola Abiola-Edewor, Lauretta Onochie, Sharon Ikeazor and Zainab Ahmed are DISASTERS to this Government. They are not fit to run public primary schools, not to talk of their current public offices.
ReplyDeleteIf you guys like don't put our Ngo baby, she is one million more of those up there, in fact 1 billion more than the last name there
ReplyDeleteHmmm
ReplyDeleteHmmm..... Bubu 🤭
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure the 'Buhari women' is a title that captures the essence of International women's day. Why couldn't they just do a 'Profile of Nigeria women in the Buhari administration'. How are they 'his' women? why that prefix? How does he own accomplished women who are supposed to be working for Nigerians. Today is not about Buhari. It's about women all over the world and how they have overcome personal challenges to do good. Some may be rich some may poor, some are in government some are not but the bottom line is they are all making a difference in some small or big way, either in in their immediate environment or the broader public space. It could be a government appointee, a WTO DG or even the woman cleaner that has diligently kept the office clean for years; the one who sells boli by the roadside and trains her children from it; hardworking industrious women and the good they do for others; women who have survived serious challenges, broken through barriers and broken glass ceilings at different levels and in different spaces
ReplyDeleteThat's the focus just for today, not on Buhari. The President's public communications team are so incompetent: always putting unprofessional write ups out in the public space.
Your head dey dia jor
DeleteThey're all Buhari women! I mean,only a Buhari can own a woman like Lauretta Onochie and her kind. Nne o, those women up there are Buahri's women ojere!
Delete😂😂, talking about incompetence? Baby, are you new on the Buhari regime? Lemmeeo!
