There will never be a time we will not have confusion in nigeria because they knew themselves that no one is trusted. When the easterners see that the northerners are much in positions or westerners see that the other side is much, there's bound to be a confusion

The most important thing is to see things change for the better, to see that problems are solved and issues are resolved, if after forming this so called committee and nothing changes, then all of them are useless

IT WILL TAKE ONE YEAR OF BUHARI ADMINISTRATION TO PICK MINSTERS, ANOTHER ONE YEAR TO SWEAR THE MINISTERS, AND IT WILL TAKES THE MINISTERS ANOTHER ONE YEAR TO GET FAMILIAR WITH THEIR MINISTERIAL JOB. THIS IS NOT WHAT NIGERIAN WANT AT THIS STAGE OF THE NATION TRANSFORMATION. BUHARI IS WORKING BACKWARD AND NOT MOVING THE COUNTRY FORWARD. NIGERIA NEED MASSIVE INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT, RIGHT NOW, ALL INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE COUNTRY IS ON HOLD BECAUSE OF WASTING TIME TO CHOSE MINISTERS, BAD ROADS, BAD HOUSING DEVELOPMENT, AND LACK GOOD TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES. THIS MINISTERIAL MADNESS SHOULD STOP AND MOVE THE COUNTRY FORWARD
