I smell scam. Ortom is the worst governor ever known to man.

An investment as much as 400million euro and the governor isn't there to take a million pictures?? Not even Benson.

I'd take this news with a bag of salt.

It just amazes me how dumb we have become to be giving away lands to foreigners and inviting them to expand their business here. Even promising to provide them with security. Couldn't this have been provided to locals? Running locals off the land of their birth and seeing this as development.
First, we captured and sold our own people as slaves to the Europeans..... now we are inviting the Europeans to come and basically enslave us. We are the sole cause of our demise.
