Incisive and factual analysis of where we are and the way forward. However, I only hope it's not another political speech. For all we know, the speech may have been filed away with the other speeches the Minister made in the past. One nagging question though; where is the funding for the development of the Minister's ideas going to come from?
And just another thought, is it cheaper to send athletes round the world to train for the Olympics or to invest in the training facilities in 9ja? I think the latter will benefit other budding talents as well as the 'prospective Olympians'.

As usual, the West is providing our leaders with an opportunity for misappropriation of funds. What has past loans achieved? How much of our oil and other revenues have been channeled to infrastructure development? Is there a clear idea of what infrastructure is to be developed?
This are questions we know even a 'community bank' will ask before doling out cash as loan. Why is the World Bank not asking these questions? Are they setting us up to cry 'foul' 3 - 12 months down the road when the inevitable happens?

I weep for motherland!!!

Question: If Otedola has a case and wins in court? Whose N1trn will be used to settle the bill? And will someone recommend courses to teach our legislators how to make appropriate comments in their "honourable" capacities?

rasputinn:

You guys should give the police some credit on this.Go back to Obodos explanation and decode that HE WOULD NOT HAVE ESCAPED if not for the police.

Who covered the whole state,who was monitoring the roads and creeks thereby putting the kidnappers under siege,who was monitoring their calls and using it to close in on them that forced them to move from the forest to open town,who made a fake call to the kidnappers that the ransom was ready for which 5 of them left and left obodo with just one of them,from whom he was able to escape later.Before his escape,who arrested three of the kidnappers that had gone to pick the ransom money,I can go on and on and on.#
I know the NPF could be dissappointing in most cases,but on this occasion,they were VERY instrumental to Obodos escape.
Give the devil his due and lets move on

Spot on! Give credit when it's due.

How? There are so many positives in this advert for Africa. Why read meaning that is not there?
