congrat woman..... a nice way to pay you off for a work well done in destabilizing the administration of GEJ over Chibock scam..... what qualifies her for this Job? A Bsc in Business Admin and an irrelevant post graduate degree. This is what I called the BUHARITARIAN THEORY where only the northern Muslims matters.
