Look at the ugly face and mouth of a minister. Instead of him to think of how his ministry can help Nigerians dying of poverty and want in this recession, he wants to store data for 550m dollars. Does he think this is Goodluck govt? |

divinehand2003: I taya oo. This minister needs to update himself. What happens to building our own satellite if truly we need it? Abi we no get the man power and know-how no? Why plunge the country into another debt just to shoot something that will soon 'get missing' in the next two years into the sky? |
