How is going to work in a constituency where there's no electricity for 15 years ago talkless of court having laptop

Carry On Daddy

God bless you for me

Lol... in Nigeria, when people hâte someone, they hâte everything that comes from the person regardless of whether it's a good thing or not.

The same people that always say "in a sane country..." are the ones running down every little effort made to be like the so-called sane countries. Someone somewhere will always scream "misplaced priority" for every stride, and I wonder what thier understand of prioritization is. Prioritization is about relative importance and not necessarily a mandatory order of activities. An item with lower priority which can be achieved now should not be left on hold cause a higher priority item has not been achieved except the item with lower priority is likely to eat deep into the resources meant for the higher priority item. Constant power supply may have a higher priority than the automation of our legal system but it's not necessarily a perquisite. I'm not a fan of the Malami guy but this automation is long overdue and it's a welcome change if executed properly.

Reasonable comment!

It's pitiful how we rush to commend innovations abroad and quickly reject ours just because of ethno-religious bias!
