It surprises me to say of we youths nowadays are very myopic in our views and it is not going to help us that much! We rant about anything and what we don't have understanding of yet conclude it is the right thing to do. This money is pledged for poorer nations. There is no excuse in the idea because we have issues at home this pledge must be terminated - it doesn't work like that. If it were to be like that the millions of dollars we receive as aid from abroad can also be terminated due to the fact that those countries given them out to us have issues. There is no country on earth without issues. There are time these pledges are made and not meant on time but it will be accrued to balances of accounts. Japan still facing disasters of earthquake, typhoon and other natural disasters that ravaged the nation still gives out without given such excuse as having problem at home.

This aid money is not Nigerian problem but the inability of the fed. to create enabling environment to create jobs for the unemployed, incentive for foreign investments, get rid of corruptions, provision of basic infrastructure, etc. The money is there but to make proper use of it for the good of the people and nation is the major issue - not given of aid!

Lets give because we dnt knw 2moro even USA wt the unemployment issues in their country are still granting immigrant visas to poor countries.

He, however, explained that the money was the outstanding out of the $177.7million pledge made by the country to the Fund in 1976
