Nice one Ugwuanyi

One of the few grassroot politicians in Nigeria.

Foolish leaders misrepresenting reflecting their people's ideologies. How's giving free money for a start-up going to be financially sustainable for long-term benefits?

Did they accurately measure the risks involved?

What if the business isn't profitable?
