She's Biafran not Nigerian.

I doubt you'd type this if she was caught with drugs or into illicit acts. You would have been the first to call her developer.

That isn't a big position lol. Many people are given Generals Counsel. They gave her the diversity department, which means she won't be doing anything of substance.

Disappointed. Expected to see a Northerner, at least for once.
