The hopes of thousands of women mobilized for the
flag-off of the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) in Bayelsa state by
Nigeria’s first lady, Patience Jonathan, were dashed as they were sent home
with nothing yesterday after policemen tear gassed a couple of them.
Some overzealous security operatives also used batons on
the hapless women who were frustrated for being hoodwinked by Mrs. Jonathan to
come for the "empowerment program" she had claimed was from the MDG,
only to be confronted with a political rally for the president’s re-election.
