cheddarking: There are Nigerians being held hostage by pirates demanding 3Million dollars in Somalia which the Government has Ignored...

But They want to spend 50 million dollars on this Glorified Brothel...

God save us from this Government....

buzugee: and this exactly is why there is no hope for nigeria and will never be hope for nigeria till this world ends. this is the mindset of 99.9999999 percent of nigerians. the typical nigerian is angry at patience because he or she is not in that position to steal. not because they are genuinely upright people.

VoodooDoll: $50m or N8bn. Is This from the same govt that cannot implement a budget? Please tell me it's not from tax payers' resources, and that NGOs are raising the funds privately!

N8bn on a daft and wasteful project which should have been dead on arrival, with the person that proposed it summarily dismissed.

N8bn is a good percentage of the federal budget for essential projects and a multiple of primary infrastructure that's currently absent.

If this was being spent on a maternity hospital, that would have been different.

I say again, GEJ cannot tell the difference between his elbow and his buttocks. Clueless from the start, in a clueless fashion will he finish.

ekehleosey: Join other Nigerians on www.mocliq.mobi to play airtime games on your phones & PCs with friends.."Winners" win "Losers" airtime. MTN users only.

Frenchkiss: I new from the onset that this African First Ladies thingy will be geared at further agrandisement of little available resources; never imagined it will be this bad.

dedeike: Foolishness. Ignorance. Desperation. Blackmail. Propaganda and idiocy can never come in a better form.
When you just feel that these clowns have gone full circle, they come up with another rubbish. I wonder why these hirelings will stop at nothing to blackmail the most responsive and pro people govt in Nigeria's history.

There is nothing in that report or any other report suggestive that a kobo of tax payers money will be involved in that project. So why the hair splitting?
Did you see GEJ or Okonjo IWeala tell you that they are going to release 8 billion for this project?
That report is clear, to anybody who read it, that first ladies numbering over 54 will contribute money for the project. Our own first lady says she will appeal to corporate bodies for help.

An association that prides itself as African First ladies summit met and resolved to build a secretariat of themselves, for themselves, and by themselves. So what's our business?
Except you have all become witches and wizards, I don't see why you should stand in the way of the first ladies to source for sponsorship from corporate bodies and well meaning individuals.

In a saner clime, our discourse on this forum would have been more on how to donate money for this wonderful initiative intended to promote peace in Africa.
Our own first lady deserves real commendation for living up to our giant of Africa status by calling the shots in the comity of African first ladies.

What you haters desire is a situation whereby this, secretariat for whatever it's worth, to be built in Johannesburg or Abidjan? Our first lady is smarter than you dull brains.
If anything, let the secretariat be in Abuja and beautify our landscape. But I'm sure the benefits will go beyond that as Nigerians, not Malawians,Somalians or south Africans, will be recruited as staff of the secretariat.

I understand that the opposition is desirous to win presidency in 2015 but resort to cheap blackmail and propaganda is not the way to go about it.

chucky234: You must be living under Olumo rock to post that scrap above,clueless moronic goon

Pataki:

Why must every thing this useless government do, sound so delicious to you?! Why do you love so much wickedness in the land? Why?

Vernor: Sometimes, i wonder how some retardeens think, dey said nothing in d report shows d money is not coming 4rm tax payers money, den whr will she get Nigerians quota 4rm NGO, dt will not expect sometin greater in return, must it be writen. Fela said 'read d book and use ur SENSE' dt useless boy said it will create jobs, when pple cant feed or dieing in d hospitals let DAME Patience invest in saving lifes not structures. I rest my case

olyivy:
You are only swimming in assumptions and conspiracies. Just prove that the money is coming from tax payers money or forever remain dumb.

chucky234: PEJ is the president of the First Lady Peace Mission and expected to contribute 50% of the estimated N8bn, were is the N4bn coming from?

cheddarking: Damn....

This is the sort of news that can incite the masses to rise up against this Government.

WTF is African First Ladies Secretariat?

Why is there a need for a Hq for the women Fccking the Presidents of Africa?

Jesus! I'm so pissed off now...WTF is all this Shyte na?

Kini Gbogbo This?

gulfer: Can someone tell me where the American, Asian or European first ladies secretariats are sited or situated? The answers will help me make the right comments.

cheddarking:

Can you imagine what all that Money is going to fund?


PEJ is a thief and should be brutally murdered...

This is so insulting to my sensibilities....

thegoodjoehunt:

Even if the money is not from tax payers, is this the kind of project money should be channeled to? While kids that would have helped this nation are dying from sickness, hunger and are not getting educated, we are building Secretariat.

warrior01:
you are such a hypocrite! What are you doing on nairaland? Are you not supposed to be out there catering for the homeless, the sick and hungry or is it the work of dame jonathan alone?
