The meeting followed the receipt of a petition by parents of two of the victims of the sexual abuse .
The wife of the president who promised to take all appropriate actions acknowledged the steps being taken by the kano state government in addressing the problem.

She commended the concerned mothers for taking a bold step in coming out to petition such immoral tendencies in the society.

Just recently, Aisha Buhari called on governors of all states to establish children’s parliament that would prepare them as future leaders.

Ministers without portfolios

Now that President Muhammadu Buhari has had his 36 ministers confirmed by the Senate for him to fulfil the constitutional requirement, fulfil all righteousness and assuage people’s agitation, he can still go ahead to merge the ministries and reduce the number to 15 functionally, while maintaining 36 nominally.

He should give his top 15 minister-designates portfolios that meet his need to cut cost and then give the remaining 21 persons portfolios as ministers for special duties on diverse matters and then pay them their basic salaries without other perks of offices that are not written in the books.

He should also give them one room office, equipped with only a laptop and printer without even a secretary or attendant. Anyone who is dissatisfied can resign. We must learn to cut cost of governance in Nigeria.

From 'feeling fat' to Twitter hearts: 5 most hated social media changes

Dislike!!

People don't like change. And when the change involves their social media profiles, they outright hate it.

Whenever the likes of Facebook and Twitter come up with a new feature, a backlash follows.

Users are angry and confused. They start petitions and call for the changes to be reversed. Step-by-step guides of how to get rid of the new feature emerge.

And then, a few days later, they get used to it. Here are some of the most despised changes to remember:

Facebook messenger

Facebook introduced the standalone messenger app in 2014, as part of its plan to become a mobile communication player -- the same plan that saw the social network spend $22 billion buying the messaging app WhatsApp.

A lot of users really hated the move. The Facebook Messenger received over 50,000 negative reviews on iTunes, and the company was forced to issue a statement debunking some of the myths about the feature.

The Twitter heart

Twitter ditched its stars and favorites for hearts and likes on Tuesday. The company said it adopted the change to make itself easier for newbies to understand and use Twitter.

But users don't seem to like the change too much. Tens of thousands criticized the move, pushing #TwitterHeart into trending topics.

"Feeling fat" emoji

When Facebook decided to roll out a "feeling fat" emoticon that users could post as part of a status update, it sparked a huge backlash.

More than 16,700 people signed a petition demanding Facebook take the emoticon down. They said it is making fun of people who might suffer from eating disorders.

Facebook got rid of it just a couple of days later.

Google Buzz

Google's attempt to launch a microblogging element to its Gmail service was a massive flop. It was launched in May 2010, and killed off only 20 months later.

Facebook news feed

When Facebook rolled out its newsfeed feature in 2006, more than 740,000 of its users joined a group called "Students Against Facebook News Feed." They were concerned about privacy and didn't like the idea of everyone being able to track their Facebook activities.

Facebook recognized the problem, rolled back on some of the features, and strengthened its privacy protection settings.
