This president has started again with his useless committees. He will set up another committee to look into the report or findings of this committee. Such cluelessnes and time wasting after so many days. #bringbackourgirls
ReplyDeleteI knew this was what he would do. After his term, this president will be in the Guiness Book of Records for setting up the most committees in 4 years. Committes with no result that will just be paid hefty sums of money. Are they going to go into the forest to bring the girls back or the army? #bringbackourgirls
ReplyDeleteThis is an avenue to enrich Clark and some PDP criminals. It is not his fault. Nigeria is a country where anything goes.
ReplyDeletePeople from different countries worldwide are holding rallies and pressuring the United nations and the USA to help save the girls immediately. However GEJ has set up a Committee, that will be inaugurated at the State House, Abuja on Tuesday, 6th May, 2014 by 12 noon. This means they will not start work until Tuesday evening or most likely Wednesday. Hmmm. There is a proverb that says "Those the gods want to k..., they first make mad".
