just watching the proceedings of the national assembly and can't understand how the honourable speaker of the national assembly doesnt know who Africa's biggest humanitarian is, Mo Ibrahim.

So our Honourable Speaker should be acquainted with such people as Mo Ibrahim. I only got to know Mo because I was a Celtel subscriber.

In fact, na for internet I even see information about the man even though I don dey use Zain since I never get any information about the man from either Zain, Celtel, Econet etc.

Let the law makers concentrate on making laws that will make Nigeria better as that is what they are supposed to be doing.

Even me too! i wasnt surprise that sARAH pALIN didnt know that Africa was a continent and not a country.

Any African politician should know Mo Ibrahim for the simple fact that he runs an organisation that is so bent on promoting good governance that it gives out 5 million dollars to the best performing president yearly.

The only reason Nigerian leaders(Dimeji et al) don't care about such an award, hence don't know Mo Ibrahim is because they've stolen so much money that 5 million dollars for them is chicken change.

Thank you. That is why his award has not worked.

Expecting any of the pretenders and charlatans that pass for politicians in Nigeria to have some quantifiable knowledge outside their regular kleptomanic business of robbing the treasury, giving and expecting bribes, worshiping stupidity and honoring mediocrity, is an exercise in predictable futility!

Come 2think of it. 5M dollars is about 750M naira, so how would he know him when he has embezzled more than that.

Can you explain how Mo Ibrahim is 'africa's biggest humanitarian'?

Mo Ibrahim should go and fly a kite round the entire perimeter of Sudan. When people were suffering and dying in Darfur, what did Mo do? In his country he was watching poor Sudanese suffer and die in his own homeland yet he comes out and wants to "dash" Presidents $5 million each. He should shut up. He has done enough for Africa already. He used his Celtel to buy up several thriving GSM companies around Africa and then sold us out to the Arabs.

There's nothing humanitarian about him. The man even declared recently that he won't be giving out the $5 million because no one will win the prize. Instead make the fool talk say recession no gree am part with that kain.
