Criticism is always in the society, the problem is who, how, where and when to criticise. A good number of us know that a speech of such an icon like Her Excellency Patience Dame GEJ is written by her secretary. So if anyone is to be criticised, I perfectly and strongly push the blame to her secretary who suppose to do her/his duty very well to avoid embarassment. Many may expect the First Lady to still go through the script before ordering her secretary to print but time may not always be on her side to do all that.
I strongly advise our dear precious mother to please check her secretary in order to avert this public disgrace that is causing her to look as if she is not educated. Moreso, I want to encourage Her Excellency that real iron is tested with hot fire, so people will say a lot of things about you but focus and determination should be your watch word. May Almighty God in His Mercy continue to guide and protect you and your entire family may He bless you with His wisdom to support your dear and lovely husband to discharge the duties of our great nation Nigeria to more greater heights. Long live Her Excellency, Long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Mama I really need your support, after my gaduation on july 2013, I applied in many places for job but notting has come forth. I thougt of what to do but, i was not having any finacial support. I heard of Graduate intership program and even Youwin program of which I applied for and til now no postive answer. I also went ahead sending my CV to some of the ministry through their address since, I dont have one that can help but to no aveil.
Now am tired of sitting doing notting, I have decided to go and learn tairlorring work as I wait for the call from the private school which I applied but, the problem is money for the machine. Please mama i need your support financially or otherwise looking at my cry.
Finally, onceagain may the good Lord strengthen you and bless you. Thank you ma.

Let me pray for you:
1) You’ll find favor with
someone you don’t expect,
Amen!
2) You’ll be too relevant to be
ignored, Amen!
3) You’ll encounter God and
will never remain the
same, Amen!
4) The grace for completion
will come on you, you shall
be blessed till the blessed
call you blessed, Amen!
5) The hand that will send this
message to others shall
not labor in vain, Amen!
6) The mouth saying ‘Amen’
to this prayer shall laugh
forever, Amen!
Very soon, and I say, very very soon, GOD is going to do a miracle and lift you up for GOOD.
Here’s a test: If you love God and you’re not ashamed of Him, send this to ten people and watch what He does for you today, including me; if I don’t get it back, I guess I’m not one of them.
As SOON as you get five replies, someone you love, will quietly surprise you. call me on 07062269361,I have a good message for u thanks.

Her excellency Ma, u are blessed, no matter what ple say. The point is that u are First lady whether man or devil likes it or not. whether u can speak grammar or not. Life is by grace not by works and qualification. God placing u there is base on favor & grace not by personal qualification. So this very God shall keep & sustain u with good health & wisdom to successfully complete ur tenure in Jesus name. Bravo ma.

Why some people spoiling the name of the first lady? Telling people that they are the first lady of the country by using her profile information to scam people. Government should do something about it. Let our country move forward.
