Bianca deserves this honour.
Well deserved.
dat is gud!
atleast to compensate her for d loss of his husband. she deserves it
i dont understand, she deserves to be compensated because she is a widow??????? Nigerians amuse me.
My only problem with her appointment is that this Woman does not speak a word of spanish language. so she will be going with an interprete. What a waste.
Does she speak spanish? Any *gud
She deserves it,thank u mr president
Some guys here are funny. Do the ambassadors posted to
other countries speak those languages? Even in Nigeria,
some foreign ambassadors use interpreters.
Anyway, for u haters, she speaks fluent french. Is a
lawyer with an LLM from a top uni in london.
Honour well deserved.
Congratulations ‘Ada Enugu’
Yes, she deserves it and it is not a most that she most speak spanish. Bianca i wish you well in your new office.
