For Nigerian women, after Thursday’s First Lady Patience Jonathan’s Women Jamboree came the gift-sharing and worries over money.
After participating in Mrs. Jonathan’s Abuja-shutting festival, tagged "Celebrating Nigerian Women for peace and Empowerment" which locked the Federal Capital territory down for most of the day, delegates bused into Abuja from the 36 states of the federation were handed various gifts as a reward for taking part in the event.
The gifts were handed over to the delegates mostly led to Abuja by wives of PDP State Governors. As shown in these photographs, the gift items included deep fryers.  Some of the delegates were apprehensive as money promised them which they were to receive through their state coordinators and their leaders was delayed until Friday morning.  Most of the women therefore left Abuja city much later than they had planned.  Some of the leaders of the women were seen making phone calls to their coordinators as they waited to get the money promised them, looking very worried.
