Should the minister for science and technology be making such an announcement at this time?

I do not see anything wrong with it.


Perhaps if I hear reasons why he should not have said those things.

In my opinion, I feel he stated facts according to how he gathered them.

It is the reality on ground.

Let us know where we are coming from, where we are and where we are going to.

oga mi shouldn't start from somewhere ?

so I will no longer see made in china pencils ..... Wailers keep it up

Well good idea... Its not a transformational change rather its an incremental one...
BTW it doesn't call for this needles publicity
Its equivalent to discussing commissioning of waste baskets at FEC meeting

Lol @ commissioning waste baskets. We are on the same page.

But it's shameful to importa pencil, toothpick and handkerchiefs. If we start making em here, it's also an achievment.

Dat is a good idea.

Its needs publicity so that...

1. Somebody will not come and say its GEJ's legacy.

2. People will know the kind of things we still import because going by the original thread, many people dont know that we still import these kind of things.

1. Pencil production is not happening until 2 years' time. Hard for anyone to claim it is GEJ's.

2. Most people know we don't make anything.

1. If it wasn't made public, how would you have known we wont start production until 2 years time?

2. Of course people know we dont make anything but not like pencil of toothpick haba! Go to the original thread again and see people shocked at the revelation.

1. You may want to read the article in the link above. Now that something as underwhelming as making pencils has been given so much publicity, what happens if it is not delivered in two years' time?

2. B/c some people didn't know doesn't mean many didn't know.
