Good,a step for her to open a new page after all the negatives associated with her during the ill fated Good luck administration, definitely she tried her best but when one is in the midst of criminals & unrepentant looters that were all around her during the administration, we should not put all the all blame of mismagement on the poor woman,she was simply in the right place at the wrong time.I am sure when she looks back,deep inside she would know that she was just used by Oga Jona & his gang of goons for their looting spree. I wish her the best in her new endeavour & hopefully she will do better in a sane environment.

Congratz Maam. I'm just wondering, despite Oshiomole's criticism, She's still going higher & higher. No wonder the bible says in Mark 6:4 that
"A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country , and among his own kin, and in his own house"
May GOD continue to uplift you Ma. Haters can go complain to LAZARD & give them reasons not to appoint her grin

. Congrats once again. cheesy
