State funeral for her foster mother.

I really would one day like to look at the rules and regulations that guide our leaders. What was her positon in government that she desrves a state burial. This is pathetic!

We are complaining about the aviation ministry spending millions on armoured cars and now we have a 3 day burial "parade" for a woman no one knew existed? We may as well declare 3 daydof national mourning with everyone going around with ashes on their head.

It appears to be a case of "Dame" Patience showing the governor of River State she rules the roost on one hand and then trying to keep her foster mothers people "happy."

Our youth have been at home because lecturers are on strike and now money is available to bury the dead in a big way.

Ludicrous.

Time Nigeria got prepared for our "Arab" uprising!!!
