Our First Lady doesn’t want to be referred to as The First Lady. Read the press statement… I am not the first Lady says the wife of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria Hajia Aisha Muhammadu Buhari. I am the wife of the President and will be addressed as such going forward. With her large smile that easily lights up a room, Mrs Buhari’s sense of direction is established.

The pics after the cut are extremely graphic. I’d advise that you don’t look at them except you have the heart for it. Remember the family who lost three children from same parents in a fire incident at their home in the Egbeda-Akowonjo area of Lagos on Saturday June 13th? Well, horrible photos from the scene have been released. The children are; Ifeoma, 9; Emeka, 7; and Udeoma, 3. The fire was caused by a candle lit in their home. May their souls rest in peace, amen.

Speaking to newsmen during the AU Summit in South Africa yesterday, president Buhari said he doesn't know why people are anxious about ministers, saying he's yet to appoint them because his predecessor’s transition committee submitted its report on the previous administration to him late. “I don’t know why people are so anxious about ministers.

But the ministers knew that they were going while the technocrats, the permanent secretaries and directors and so on, would remain. If anything goes wrong they would be invited to explain, but unfortunately the outgoing government did not cooperate.  So, what the commi

The newly inaugurated members of the National Assembly are to receive N8.64 billion as Wardrobe allowance next week.
