Just heard over the New that the senate just acccepted the President's request to give Saotome [b]10 Million Dollars interest free loan.[/b]Guys I dont have problem about helping a hardship striken country or being our brothers' keeper, as a matter of fact I commend the gesture and initiative of our president. My only concern is that , if we can afford to give an interest free loan that much to another counrty , how come we close our eyes to our own problems. How Come our Agricultural Sector, the Power sector, health are being negleted this long. I ran a thought on what 10 million dollars would do on our only route to the east ( the benin -ore road, where a journey that is not meant to take more than 3 hours could end up taken 7 - 10 hours and atimes a whole day, I thought of what that amount will do to our Health cares, Power Sector and Even to better the Lives and profession of our Police.
What baffles me more was how easy it was to agree to that by the senate, when it takes 5 months or more to agree on our National Budget.

The Last question on my mind is the timing, At this time of economic meltdown when everyone is trying to manage what is available, also knowing what is happening to our 0il reserves, Is this the right time for this? Well maybe I will be aable to answer my questions and curiousity after sampling your opinions.

I'll ask a very simple question, how much are our lecturers asking for and why do they have to go on strike just to get heard. Is saotome more important than our educational sector?

Hmmmmm,

Its good to help out if you are deemed fit to help
You'll see: in a few decades' time our then leaders will be clamouring to buy houses in Saotome because they
would have used the funds wisely.

Does anyone remember how we gave malaysia palm seedlings decades ago but now we are learning from them?
Nigeria is a hot mess.
Nigeria is like a big unintelligent muscular kid.
LMAO.

It's a BIG shame,when people in the Northern Nigeria feed less than dollar daily.

What are the Northern Governors or Arewa doing about this?

becomrich.:

sao tome population is less than oshodi. it is just 150,000. so can you call sao tome a country really.

Don't use WAZOBIA logic, what does it matter if they are 150,000 or 15,000. Liechstentein has a population of about 35,000.

Looking at the fact that Nigeria's Debt just Hit N2.84 tr and we still can loan out10 million dollars to a nation that may not be able to payback especially when there is no interest involved. That money is as good as Dash.
Is Mr President alright?
I saw some sane members of the sanate agued against the move with brilliant points but as we all know Nigerian Presidents have a way of getting the senate to agree on anything they want especially when you have majority of the house as you party member. The whole SHITSTEM is sick.
