Nigerian sworn in as Belgian Councillor Nigerian-born Collins Nweke, was on Friday sworn in as Councillor of West- Flanders Constituency in Belgium. Collins Nweke, Belgian councillor Europe. Nweke, a member of the Belgian Green Party, was re-elected last year having made history in 2006 when he became the first non-Belgian born politician to win an elective position in West- Flanders. With his re-election, Nweke’s mandate includes issues bordering on the economy, social policy, international development and minority priority. “The last several years were a learning curve where some important results were equally achieved. “ I will continue to have my eyes on the ball as far as social policy is concerned, but with an expanded portfolio that includes the economy and international development. “Small and medium enterprises are the engine of the local economy and a business-friendly environment will not only keep existing businesses in good shape but will attract new investments and create jobs. “A number of good initiatives are ongoing and obviously these would be continued and enhanced. “It will also make sense to re-evaluate some economic activities that are liabilities to the local economy," He told NAN’s Western Europe Correspondent. Nweke, who spoke on international development, said the challenges of global meltdown were insurmountable. “I think that the relationship between the western economies and the emerging ones has for too long being based on the wrong premise. He said that partnership, rather than charity, should be the bedspring on which the larger part of the relationship rests. “The economies of the west are showing signs of saturation, while there are huge developmental potential in the emerging economies. So let's build a relationship of mutual benefits." Nweke, 46, years,from Ibusa in Delta state, migrated to Belgium in 1993; he is currently the Chairman of Nigerians in Diaspora in

The more affluent Flanders are a little bit liberal than the Wallonians. Many Africans are living without papers in Flander's port City of Antwerp without harassment from the authorities. I am not surprised.... |

European democracy works if you've got balls to join them. Initially, they may ignore you, but if you have the charisma and a good understanding of their political culture and social environment they will take you serious and get you really involved. The half Vietnamese Dr. Rösler ( leader of German liberal party FDP) is an example. It's quite different from ethnic/religious bigot infested Nigerian mafia-like political party setups. Are we getting there or are we getting crazier by the day in Nigerian democracy ?? |

If such positive news is taking to front page (moderator take note), it will teach or perhaps help in changing the perception of those Nairalanders who think that the world stop at their ethnic backyard. We must change the way we view one another in Nigeria, or we get ready for a very long hot Sommer with nasty consequences . 1 Like |
