10 Senators Who Asked The Best Questions During The Ministerial Screening

The ministerial screening of President Muhammadu Buhari’s nominees for his cabinet has come and gone, but the memories of the widely televised event will linger on for a while.
The screening process which was characterised by drama, controversies, politicking, lobbying and protests gave Nigerians the opportunity to see first-hand how their various representatives are carrying out their duties in the upper chamber.
Naij.com monitored the screening process and observed the senators who contributed immensely to the question and answer session during the exercise.
1. Senator Bukola Saraki (Kwara): The Senate president didn’t fail to contribute during the exercise which is commendable. Most of his questions were directed at the nominees the Senate gave special preference to (mostly former federal lawmakers) who even though they were asked to ‘bow and go’ were still subjected to questioning by the Senate president himself. Perharps, Saraki was aware that some Nigerians frowned at the ‘bow and go’ syndrome and made personal efforts to correct it.

2. Senator Ike Ekweremadu (Enugu): It is not for nothing that Ekweremadu is occupying the position of deputy Senate president for the third time in a row. His questions showed how experienced he is and how his long stay in the upper chamber has helped to make him a complete senator.

3, Senator George Akume (Benue): A two-term governor of the food basket of the nation, Benue, and a third-term senator, Akume has seen it all. And so when he asks questions, they are very deep and borne out of an experienced politician who has been in the executive and in the legislature.

The president made the comment while speaking to journalists in New Delhi, India, during
Buhari said that  Nigeria was “materially and morally vandalized”, adding that he will reduce the numbers of ministries in his cabinet.
He affirmed that he cannot work outside the Nigerian constitution and that ministers must be appointed in conformity with the constitution of the federal government, hence his appointment from the 36 states of the country.
He said: ”We can0not work outside constitution; there must be a cabinet representative from each state. There used to be forty two ministers but I think we can barely keep half of that now because we cannot afford it.
”Others may not be substantive ministers but they will seat in the cabinet because that is what the constitution said and we can’t operate outside the constitution
”We are reducing the number of ministries we can’t afford to pay.”
Reacting to the president said he did not walk into the presidency alone therefore he cannot work alone.

A Chocolate Fashion Show Has Presented the World With the First Edible Naked Dress

The best runway at Paris Fashion Week was a cheese-themed show, which featured models in fancy dresses carrying wheels of Roquefort, plates of Parmesan, and chunks of brie. The fact that I missed this fusion of my two favorite things — fashion and fromage — sent me into a deep depression. But you know what I like even more than cheese? Chocolate. And the fact that my invite was once again lost has sent me on another downward spiral.
The Salon du Chocolat is France’s annual exposition where chocolatiers come together to display their skills with white, light, dark, and every variety of the sweet confection in elaborate presentations, from a giant polar bear to a recreation of the Eiffel Tower. To kick things off, the best in the business molded sweet stuff into couture dresses. "The dress is all in chocolate, it is a true sweet,“ French chocolatier Jeffrey Cagnes said. "The difficulty with it is to keep it in place for a long time, it is hot in here, it lasts a short while and starts to melt.”
The culinary artists turned fashion designers created a minidress inspired by Alexander McQueen with appliquéd butterflies, a geometric gown seemingly inspired by Legos, a cowgirl hat, and a wedding gown for the alternative and hungry bride. There was even a naked dress because these creations were not only delicious, they were also on trend. What could be better than being able to wear a beautiful dress and eat it too? Maybe a dress made of chocolate and cheese.
