A sum of N7 billion (naira) of Nigeria's tax payers funds was wasted on the burial of the foster mother of Nigeria's first lady, Patience Jonathan in her hometown of Okrika in Rivers State over the weekend.
The events which kicked off on Thursday saw the attendance of the President , Vice President, several state governors and ministers. Saharareporters sources said funds for the burial were taken from several ministries including the FCT, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, the ministry of Education, Delta State, Bayelsa state and the ministry of defence.
Ironically, the first lady's mother died in a stretch of raod abandoned by the Jonathan's regime in the Niger Delta region.

you guys will never go unpunished, spent 7 billon on a burial ceremony, while average Nigerian can not afford to provide food for his family, paying school fees becomes big problem for parents, constant electricity is ZERO. may God have mercy.
