[size=13pt]Federal Governments sets aside $50 million to mark Obama's 50th Birthday[/size]

Abuja - The Nigerian senate has approved a budget of $50,000,000 to be spent on activities to mark US President Obama’s 50th birthday.

Speaking to reporters, press secretary to the president, Mr Reuben Abati, explained that as the giant of Africa, it is only appropriate for Nigeria to adequately recognize such a milestone birthday of one of Africa’s kids done well.

He however assured Nigerians that even in embarking upon this diplomatically significant project, the government has taken measure to save the country some money.

According to him, the original proposed budget was $75,000,000, but Mr President, ever the prudent leader, trimmed it down to $50,000,000, thereby saving the country a whopping $25,000,000.

He declined to answer questions on exactly what the planned activities are, who will be in charge of organising them, and if Mr Obama or any representatives of the US Government were aware of the plans, but he stressed that the project was not the president’s idea.

It is interesting to see people taking a satirical website that publishes spoof news as the real deal. No wonder the level of political discourse on NL is abysmally low.
@ Kobojunkie: did you not see this posted at the end of the comments section of that article.
