The state of UN reforms

All the permanent members of the UN has agreed to a reform in the UN.

All the permanent members have agreed to have 2 permanent members from Africa, in addition to India, Japan and Germany.

It's strange that 2 African States would be allowed 2 join UN permanent members, without any specific names.

This means that the lobby of Nigeria or any African country didn't materialize, instead Africa was considered as a whole, not on a state basis.

This is likely to lead to other issues and inter state dispute within the continent about which countries to take it, with possibility of foreign nations pitching us against each other.

Furthermore, the most absurd thing about this so called new permanent members is that, United States is proposing that the new permanent members don't get veto power, instead they should just be permanent members in names only.

The question would then be that, should all permanent members, including US be stripped of the veto power or all permanent members, including new members be given veto power?
