Within a spate of some 3 weeks, two botched finacial transactions for security hardware hit the Nigerian and south african airwaves
the first was transacted using a private jet, while the second was done using wire transfers.

I am going to concentrate on the private jet one that was woth more than $9 million.

The argument by the Nigerian government was that it was using stealth to procure waepons because the US had constantly blocked its legit demand for such supplies

I wonder,
1) why the government security agencies instead of using 2 civilian businessmen did not use the Nigerian ambassador to South Africa to transact this deal
His diplomatic immunity would have ensured that his luggage was not scrutinized
2) South Africa is known for its high crime rate. Were we not worried that the money could easily have been stolen at gunpoint in a heist capable of being arranged by any of the 3 business men?
3) Now, if for any reason the plane had crashed. Na so we for take loose One billion naira just like that?


Incompetence is a disease that is ravishing us as a people because we have elevated the worst to leadership positions
The best way for us to gradually become a smart nation is for us to individually try to reward the smarter people that come to us for help.

If you've got 3 job openings that you want to fill, at least put 2 smart people in and then you can give the 3rd position to you village member

Knowing my people, the 3rd employee will threaten the other 2; constantly refering to his otuke connections and high chiefs, withhold paper work, go missing when major decisions are to be made-- the other two will get the inco bug or just honorably resign..

The one carrying Abacha's son -- Mohammed -- crashed with million of dollars littering the crash site, nothing happened.

Nothing would have happened to this too.

This is Nigeria.
