What a waste of national resources? Why does Nigeria need 6 aids for the first lady? What has she done so far but forced vacation in the UK. This is nothing but another ways to siphon badly needed funds from the FGN budgets. We need the money for the poor families, schools, hospitals, roads, housing, employment and security. When does Nigeria stop amusing the world with lack of priorities? Shameless.
