I trust bloggers’ next action.

Its expected,
Many BMCs say English is not our language...
I think he meant his condolences were heartless but he came with felt(a soft material like wool).

Where's QuotaSystem?

QuotaSystem:
Lol it was surely a gaffe.

Though its nothing compared to Emma Powerful & his ungun-known-men

RisenJoe:
Even though he's reading from an already prepared speech

selemempe:
how low can you go? How low can an abokì go? You compare Emma powerful with a senate approved minister of defence in a large country like Nigeria?

Can you see how you guys from north have brought incompetence to public service?

Dame Patience Jonathan Has Done It Again

Yesterday (sunday) while addressing an event for Widows, Patience Jonathan wife of the President Goodluck Jonathan started her speech thus: MY FELLOW WIDOWS.

Your husband is still alive please.

QuotaSystem:
He obviously needs to change his speechwriter and cultivate the habit of proofreading.

Stop getting emotional with your sanctimonious drivel, we haven't forgot your reverence & excuses for Patience Jonathan & her "fellow widows"

I hated patience Johnathan more than any other first lady and would never support her.
However you are trying to defend things that just don't make sense by deflecting the issue. Call the minister an abokì quotasystem product and move on... don't argue nonsense

QuotaSystem:
The mistake is obvious. Nobody is defending it.

I'm sure he'll appoint a more competent speechwriter going forward, especially after this backlash.

Ojiofor:
Is the minister a robbot that he can't dictate and correct the mistake before coming to the public to disgrace his generation?
